Anyone have troubles with their rpms not getting up to the upper RPM's as fast with the TKO as they did with their T-45? I have heard that the TKO's do not like high rpm's, but I wonder if anyone else has had this issue? My cobra does well from start to about 5k rpms, but its like my tach...

I have about 3500 miles on my new TKO and it seems that when on hard acceleration the car is strong up until around 5000rpms in 2nd gear and then its like it hits a brick wall with a transmission vibe that feels like it has to be killing the performance. I never felt that with my T-45... I...

I recently had a TKO installed and I have the vibe that starts at 80mph. I want to know what size aluminum DS I should get since I have the TKO. I dont want to use the 2" spacer that I am currently using with my stock steel Driveshaft. I am praying that an aluminum DS makes the vibe go away...

For those that have done the BBK LT header install, how did you rout the oil dipstick? I had to bend the oil tube some around a header tube and now I am having problems registering any oil. I couldnt get underneath far enough to see if the tube was still all the way in the block as it was...

Whew! 10 months later, my cobra finally hit the road again this weekend. Last fall, my buddies at work wanted to see a smokey burnout after work, unfortunately, my clutch gave out in the middle of it and bent my input shaft on my T-45. Mistake #1 - Dont let your buddies pressure you into being...

A few months back, someone on Corral or Stangnet wrote an article on cutting the inside passenger side BBK LT Header so that he could pull the tranny. He then placed an exhaust clamp on the the tube to prevent leaks...anyone have that or know where I can find it? I am not pulling that LT...

I have my LT Headers in and I used Stage 8 bolts with the tabs...The tabs should hold and prevent the bolts from backing out, correct? I know most of you guys with LT Headers used the stock header bolts, have you had problems with the bolts backing out? How do you retighten them without pulling...

How many quarts of oil should I put in? What brand and type of oil? I have heard of people adding an extra quart to ensure there is plenty of oil in the upper motor....My car is a weekend use and occasionally track. Also, what tranny fluid should I put in my T-45?

I have read a thread from Tabres indicating that 2003 Mach 1 Ford OEM Shocks\Struts which are non-adjustable Tokico's will work on our cars. I assume that the suspension is the same between the two cars. Can anyone else confirm that they will work our our cars? I can buy the full 2003 Mach 1...
