    Spark Plug/COP change with Whipple 2.3

    Just picked up an 01 Lightning with a 2.3 Whipple and would like to change the plugs and COPs. Are you Whipple guys able to change these without removing the blower? Access to the back driver side looks pretty tight under the plenum. If I do have to remove it, I saw somewhere that it's 4 bolts...

    03 Cobra FS near Houston, TX

    SOLD ***EDIT: PRICE DROP*** $17K. It's developed a belt chirp on the inner belt. I'm sure it's just due to the cold weather because it goes away after a few minutes of driving, but I need to put my time and money into my Camaro rebuild. Belt replacement at the dealership is around $400 and...

    Battery light on under hard acceleration

    When I accelerate hard, my battery light comes on. I just did a 2.76 pulley, tune, and boost a pump. My stock alternator was taking a dump the 2nd time I drove it after the pulley, so I replaced it with a start n charge and wire upgrade. Battery is only about a year old and the connections are...

    Oil Filter Cooler Options

    My oil filter is NOT coming off, so I'm thinking I'm going to take the oil cooler off and try to remove the filter and inspect it on my work bench. Question 1 is how difficult is this? Do I need to drain the coolant system? Question 2 is about options. I've seen relocation kits and people...

    Billetflow Snub Idler Question

    I got the Billetflow 4 idler set, and the snub idler has a gold washer about 1 1/4" diameter. I can only assume it goes between the front of the pulley and the head of the bolt that holds it on, but it doesn't look right or fit well. Can anyone confirm where this washer goes? Thanks.

    Spark plug tube seals and VC gaskets?

    I'm replacing the spark plug seals and VC gaskets and was wondering if you guys have any tips and if you could answer these questions. 1. Should I use anything to gasket the tube seals to the VC and if so, what? I was getting lots of oil in my plug tubes, and when I took the VC off, all the...

    How to adjust firewall adjuster

    I know it's a noob question, but I have very little experience with these cable clutches. I have a rattle in neutral and while cruising (no load) that goes away during acceleration or if I push in even a slight bit on the clutch. I think it may be a bearing going bad, but I want to try adjusting...

    Removing the Pumpkin Question

    Is it necessary to unbolt the pinion brace that supports the front of the pumpkin in order to take it out? I've got the pumpkin unbolted and free but can't wiggle it out from the pinion brace. If so, what size are the nuts that hold the brace to the subframe? It's larger than any wrenches I...

    Oil on spark plug threads

    I changed my spark plugs today for the first time since I bought it last October. When I pulled some of the plugs there was a lot of oil on the threads of #1 and #5 and a little less on 6, 7, and 8. I've read that it could be the spark plugs hole seals. Is that likely? Is this a common issue on...

    HELP! Front end noises killing me!

    I've seen threads on this, but want to ask for advice on my specific setup. I know very little about Mustang front suspension being a Camaro guy for the last decade. I bought a car with all UPR front setup (used to be turbo car) including K member, A arms, coilovers, bumpsteer kit, and I...

    Pull oil pan?

    Does anyone know if I can pull my oil pan without jacking up the engine on my Termi? I have a UPR tubular K and it seems to have a ton of room. Pan has been leaking since I bought it and I'm ready to dig in finally.

    Chevy Convert

    I don't know if I'm truly a convert since I still have the Chevy, but the allure of the Terminator finally got the best of me. Just picked up an 03 Redfire Cobra with 46K miles. Loving it so far even though I already broke off the gas pedal. :D Any Houston guys around here?
