My pilot bearing squeaks when cold. Well, I think it is my pilot bearing. When I crank up my car in the morning I hear a squeaking noise. When I put my foot on the clutch pedal and press it down the sound goes away. When I let the pedal up the sound comes back. I did some looking around and...

Just got a tune from lethal on an SCT-3000 for my 04 cobra. I gave them my mods(K&N, MRT Hpipe and American Thunder catback) and they gave me a canned tune. My question is what does the tune change? timing? A/F? I am guessing that just A/F parameter is changed which would then make the...
