    Tire-rim size and Cruise

    Anyone on here have 295-35-18s on the back and have/not have probs with cruise control? I remember losing cruise just after putting on my new rims and tires, and just wondered if anyone else had the same probs.

    Clutch Peddle Sensor

    I mean clutch pedal, duh. Ok fellas. I'm going to try to see if I can get my cruise control working again. I found that the switch above the clutch quadrant is not depressed when the clutch pedal is up. From what I've read, that would cause the cruise to not work. How do I go about fixing...

    97 Forged Cobra KB Vert-Memphis Area

    Has the FORD RACING ALUMINATOR SHORT BLOCK CAPABLE OF HANDLING OVER 650 HP! I've decided to see if I can find any interest in my 1997 Cobra convertible. I'm the third owner of the car, purchasing it in June 06 in stock condition. After attempting to install a 1.5 KB, I messed up the short...

    Nitrous and a 1.5 KB

    So, heavy thinking about adding nitrous to my little KB. Seems the cooling effect would help keep the temps down, add a little hp, etc. Yeah, its been talked about on the forum, but who has actually done it??

    Power options

    Sorry to repost this from the Sn95 section, but I wanted the blower boys' opinions as well. I've got a 8.5:1 Aluminator (forged) with B heads,and a 1.5 KB, Snow Kit. I'm hitting 365 hp at about 10 lbs of boost. Just trying to figure out my next step in the hp department. I've thrown around the...

    What next in the hp dept?

    I've got a 8.5:1 Aluminator (forged) with B heads,and a 1.5 KB, Snow Kit. I'm hitting 365 hp at about 10 lbs of boost. Just trying to figure out my next step in the hp department. I've thrown around the idea of nitrous, but I don't want to have to worry with filling and warming bottles. I'm...

    Yet another exhaust question

    So, the off road H with flows was just too plain loud for my taste. I put the stock back on. I still have the off road H though, and really miss the throttle response. What mufflers would I need to purchase to quiet the exhaust down? I know something non-chambered, but what?

    IAT Temps with a KB 1.5

    Okay, I'm confused (again). I just got my Aluminator/b head kb 1.5 tuned, and made 365/355 with a 9lb pulley. With water-meth, we were able to keep the iat charge temp at or below 148 degrees. It was 72 degrees in the shop during the dyno pull. Now, my tuner set the ecu to pull like 60...

    Dyno Numbers Are In

    Well, after months and months, I finally was able to go wide open throttle on the dyno. I have an Aluminator 8.5:1 compression short engine, b heads and a 1.5 KB with water-meth injection. We used the 2.5 inch pulley at first, but was losing so much oil through the breather on the snout that I...

    Tuning Gurus...question for ya

    My very reputable tuner turned both my front and rear oxygen sensors off and says I don't need them. Can someone tell me if this is common practice? :shrug: :dw:

    Oil Guys

    So my tuner tells me to put 5w-20 non-synthetic oil in my Aluminator for break-in. I just got off of the phone with FRPP and the tech told me 10w-30. Should I change the oil asap? I only have 150 miles on it or so.

    Start-up tune issues

    Well, I went to pick her up after the Aluminator short engine install, kb 1.5, etc, and the xcal 2 wouldn't allow me to put in the start-up tune. It kept saying "wrong ecm". I told my tuner the correct ecm code, so I don't know what the problem is. At the advice of the builder, I put the kb...
