Well I need to tone down my truck a little, and after realizing I have a few exhaust leaks.. someone cut out the converters and used 2.25" piping to replace them instead of 2.5" :nono:
Basically i'm stuck between these two. Do I NEED a lightning-specific converter or can I get by with the...
I just bought a lightning with a 6lb lower and ported eaton. When the throttle is open the wideband reads in the 10.5 -11.0 a/f range. So is detonation the killer of these motors, or is the bottom end just not strong enough? I love the power it has i'm just paranoid about longevity. :shrug:
Looking to buy a pair of SRA standard magnaflow mufflers, don't need tailpipes. Or I could trade you my 3-chamber flowmaster 50's, they are deeper and milder sounding than the standard flow 40 series.
So I put steeda underdrive pulleys on about a month ago and now when the motor is warm and idling you can hear a "swish swish" noise coming from the belt. Its moderately loud in front of the car.
similar experiences? When I look down on the alternator when the car is running i see the belt...
Went last night and ran a couple times.. ended up with
1st run
60'...2.4
e.t...14.7
mph..100.3
2nd run
60'...2.2
e.t...14.6
mph..100.4
I am on street tires, but I figured my e.t's would be a little better :shrug: my mods are midpipe, catback, and 3.73 gear.
I've got an NX wet kit on the way, and plan on running a small 50 shot. I've had some people tell me I need to retard my timing with nitrous, is this true? Also what plugs do you recommend, I am running autolite's right now. Thanks
when I have the car at wide open throttle, my rpm's will climb fast & steady until about the 5000- 6000 range where the tach will slow up and then just hang there for a second (feels like it stops pulling) and then continue to climb (not very fast). happened to anyone else? Car is stock save for...
You guys ever do 'em? :( burned the tire(s) a little bit yesterday, dropped the clutch on asphalt and revved it to about 6500 without brakes and only left one track.
I'm assuming a rebuild is in order?
Looking to sell my magnapack catback from my '96. It is in very good shape and was used for about 4-5k miles. $325 shipped or interested in a set of flow 40 mufflers or catback. Thanks
After my car is warmed up after driving, if i let it sit and idle I can hear a rattling from underneath the car, I think it is coming from the trans. It gets louder/worse when the fan comes on and drags the motor down a little. It sounds like someone is taking an old wooden, hexagon-shaped...
The car sat for probably 4-5 days, I tried starting it last night to take it for a quick spin, and when i started it it was shaking really bad. Threw a code a couple seconds later so I connected my code reader. It said I have a misfire on cyl 1 and 3.
Tried starting it again this morning, it...
I'm pretty new to the forum. Just bought a 96 mystic about 2 weeks ago, had a 98 V6 for about 3 years before this. Well, I found out my radiator has a leak yesterday. I know there was a TSB for the 96 and cooling problems. So my options are:
- get a stock replacement 96 radiator (will cooling...
