This would be my first post to this site, and i would like to say that ive seen some very interesting posts and Lightnings here. Ive gone on this site many times for videos and pics but havent joined till now. So ill try and give a little intro, im 23 yrs old, live in Michigan and bought my Silver 04' Lightning New about a year ago. I love it and wish i bought it sooner. Also have a 94' cobra looka like that is pretty bad ass also, you can be the judge if i can post a pic. Also, if i still have your attention, theres a question i havent found yet on here about the dreaded fartin noise in between 1st and 2nd :mj: ?? Any help would be appreciated!!! But yeah, whats up Fellas!! :beer:

this is how you do it:

step 1: register at photobucket.com
step 2: once registered, a screen will come up with a browser button. click it and it will take you to your pictures on your hard drive.
step 3: double click the pic you want, then the img file will be shown in the box next to the browser button.
step 4: click the upload button below the browser button
step 5: now you have the pic on the internet, now you can click on the img text, copy it and paste it when you reply on the forums.

simple enough?

(I got this from someone awhile back and had saved it on my comp)

Oh well, someone may know, if not i hope it goes with my exhaust change. Try not to be so hard on Fade, he meant well, but if you must ban him ill let nature take it course. And thanks guys for the welcome. :beer:

My other ride...cant have to many toys right? Somewhat built, ran a 13.2 @ 103 with the typical excuse of spinning through first and second. But with good traction an easy 12 sec. car. Just motor work done, nothing to special, and all motor. I know should go in pic section but still my section of the forums.LOL. :thumbsup:

The farting noise is the tq reduction, not the boost bypass.

You can adjust the tq reduction in your tune, anywhere from .4 seconds to completely off. Personally I would NOT turn it completely off. Maybe turn it down to .2 or .1. All it is is the computer cutting power to half the cylinders during the 1-2 shift. It does this in order to save the 2nd gear clutches. Your trans will last longer with it left on than left off.
