Here is the issue. In second gear, about half throttle, the rpms drop about 300 or so as if it was trying to shift. Then it continues to climb like normal and shifts. It only seems to happen at half throttle. WOT and it seems normal or it happens to fast for me to notice.
The L is an 04 with...
Do I need to order gaskets and bolts for cleaning the intercooler or can I reuse the ones that are on it? If I need new, does anyone have the part numbers?
TIA,

Was wondering what kind of drop you could get out of removing the bottom most leaf from the leaf springs? For those that have done it, what's involved and what should I look out for?

I am planning on installing a differential girdle and I need to know all of the basics for the install. Things like gear oil type and weight, what kind of gasket maker, amount of oil (approx), and torque specs for the bolts.
Thanks,

How many are running 4# or 6# over stock on the stock guages and is there any concern about doing so? I guess my question is should I upgrade the gauges before adding boost?
Thanks,

I have a vague idea what a torque converter is but I would appreciate it someone could tell me what it does in layman's terms. The dictionary says
"torque converter**
n.** A mechanical or hydraulic device for changing the ratio of torque to speed between the input and output shafts of a...
How do you get the stock clamps off? I have been yanking on the bolts and I cannot get them to break free. So I ask the mechanic when I am getting my oil changed and he states that the clamps have crimped the pipes together and I am better off taking it to a muffler shop and having them install...
Does any one have a Lightning Manual from Haynes, Chilton, or whomever?
If you do, could you post the name of the Manual (i.e. Haynes) and the ISBN number? The number is usually on the back of the book by the barcode. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

I think that I title says it all, but at what point do you need to have a tune done? Can you keep the factory tune with basic bolt ons (i.e. CIA, phlenum, etc.), or should you have a new tune for these? Also, is at what point do you need to tune of a pulley change? I am new to Lightnings and it...
I am new to the Lightning, althought not to SVT. I sold my '98 Cobra a month ago to get the down on a '04 L. My question is what aftermarket parts are going to cause problems with having the bi-yearly smog check? I know that Cat-backs are fine as well as drop in air filters. But which CAI kit...
For the life of me I can not remember what the SVT number is, or for that matter what the website is. If some one has that could you please post it for me. I have a friend that is purchasing a 98 cobra and would like to do some follow up for it. Thanks in advance.

Hello All,
Long story short. Had a near miss yesterday that required me to hold the petal on the floor to avoid. No harm done, but I did hit the rev limiter a split second before I shifted. I did not get any idiot lights or see any smoke, but it was hella hot yesterday (95+). What damage, if...
Hello to all,
I have been a long time lurker, but decided to register in hopes that someone would be able to help me with my current problem. That problem is that I have gone through 4 T/O Bearings in the last 20k miles. Any reasons for this impressive failure rate would be appreciated. I do...
