Well, they are also re-doing the passenger-side with new stuff...I am wondering if it is worth the now $700 they quoted me to get a head job done on both heads. I...

    Engine coming out - what to do?

    Well, the guys of at Modular Mustang Racing are taking my engine out and I'm gonna get some head work done while they re-do the top end. Nick (guy at the shop) told me that if ever there was a time to dop things to the car, now's it. Any suggestions??? Please know that I am not rich, I can't...

    $5,000 and a plan!

    My million dollar issue!

    Too Lean in '01 Cobra!

    I placed this post at the JDM spot as well... I continue to get the "check engine" light and when I use the OBD-II scanner, I get the two "lean" codes. Could this also be because of my C&L CAI (+MAF) or because of advanced timing? I was told not to go above +13 with the Steeda Timing...
