    Engine Surge at Low RPM

    Could swap the front O2 sensors and see if it changes or stays the same. I'd check for soot marks on your long tube to mid pipe connections and for leaks and around the exhaust manifold flange for a leak. check for vac leaks, might have to get your hands on a smoke machine..

    Header bolts

    Stud, right before where the nut puts pressure on the exhaust manifold flange.

    Engine Surge at Low RPM

    smoke machine that gets hooked up to vacuum hose on the intake. smoke is used to expose vacuum leaks. i had one i bought from harbor freight. worked pretty good. so if you clear all the codes and fire the car up and the check engine light comes on what's the first one?

    Engine Surge at Low RPM

    look into the o2's and than check for vac leaks like mentioned above. you might have to get a smoke machine on it.

    Header bolts

    When I did my MAC lontubes years ago on mine I got rid of the studs and nuts and used bolts with the best loctite for the application i could find. I torqued to the factory specs, got the engine up to operating temp and re torqued to factory specs. I did it once more like 2-3 weeks later to...

    How I installed 2012 seats in New Edge

    I sure do like the coyote seats more than the SN95 ones after sitting in my former gf's 2011 5.0. keeping this swap in mind cause my tan 97 ones are beat.

    ABS Light won't go away. ABS codes C1222 and C1805

    not entirely sure. I'd ask Bama that question. I'd be prepared to get the right size rear tires. if your brakes are pulsating like you say they are why not just pull the ABS fuse till you get situated.

    ABS Light won't go away. ABS codes C1222 and C1805

    seems like the height difference between the front and rear are to much of a difference for the abs and traction control to work properly. Did the tuner put the front tire measurements in the tune?

    Engine Surge at Low RPM

    maf cleaning wouldn't hurt it but a dead non reading o2 is a giveaway to a problem. check with your app to see the voltages and there movements. i use a blue tooth blue driver by Lemur.

    Engine Surge at Low RPM

    I'd check the wiring for the driver side o2 sensors to see if one is damaged/not plugged in from the transmission swap myself. check the o2 sensors with a obd2 reader that shows voltages for all of the o2's. See if any of them are lazy or dead. Is the car in closed loop? check engine light on?

    Better Torque Converter than Stock '97 GT 4R70W

    Looking for information on better than stock stall torque converter with my '97 GT 4.6 SOHC 4R70W. What's a decent stall for a PI motor with full boltons and 100 shot with the gadgets? Are there any other converters that are better than what I have that are in other fords that can be swapped...

    Undecided on Stance

    I think it looks good. So the C springs are the same or close to the eibach sport springs? I got a friend that is looking to get rid of the stock stance with his GT. He's running 18" staggered salleens. He's been looking for a daily driver style and feel kinda springs that don't require off set...

    Undecided on Stance

    driving the great roads of Pennsylvania with long tubes and catted h-pipe I wouldn't want anymore of a drop on a daily driver than what you have now Revv.

    Undecided on Stance

    if the springs are brand new and not used ones i'd wait a month, by than the front and rear would settle.
