    Running Really rough/MisFiring????

    I was going down the road a few days ago and all of a sudden the motor lost power and started to idle really rough. It felt like it went from 500hp to 50hp in a split second. Didn't throw any codes at all. I took the plugs out and cyl 1 & 3 were black and wet, plus plug #3 had the prongs bent...

    02 Senors and BBK Long Tubes

    I just got a set of BBK long tubes for my 97 Cobra. It only has 2 02 bungs, but the I have four 02 sensors from stock. Do I just use two sensors and tune the other tune out? Also, my H-pipe has a 02 bung welded in it, should I use a third 02 sensor there or weld it shut? Thanks in advance

    Oil Cooler Replacement?????

    My 97' 4V spun a rod bearing months back, had it all rebuilt with all forged stuff. I was told that I HAD to replace the oil cooler because it may have metal shavings still in it and there is no way to clean it properly. If this is the case, where might I buy a new/better one from. I got $6K...
