    Hawk Superduty or Hawk HPS???

    I run the HPS on my stang and I can tell you that they are pretty rough on the rotors and do make dust. I really like the bendix ceramics I put on my expedition. No dust! Matt R

    Valve or Exhaust Noise on Morning Start-up?

    you could even have a loose or broken bolt in the exhaust manifold.... it sounds like an exhaust leak. When the components get hot they expand and close the gaps. Matt R

    Just wanted to say hello

    How do you like your Troyer tuning? I hear he does really good work. Are you running premium tuning or 87 octane? Did you notice any major improvements on your year model?

    if your converter is clogged then they will glow cherry red in the dark. If it is not helping emissions it will trigger a check engine light.... that's what those O2 sensors after the cats are for.... Matt R

    Batteries.

    You will probably need an upgraded alternator with the lights and AC blaring on top of that system. Obviously you will need heavy enough power cable and a capacitor or Batcap in the rear near the amp. The optima is a good choice and I would go with the yellow top as it can take discharge...

    Dash Comp??? Switch

    I was wondering the same thing myself but i know the gauge cluster's message center has a bigger display. I think you need one of those to make the package work.... I just bought a scangauge from linear logic which gives me instant fuel economy now so I really don't need the MPG gauge in the...

    Gasoline

    Watch this Video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=HuOs1yap8mU And no, all commercially produced Ethanol fuel is treated with a corrosion inhibitor and even untreated it is not like Methanol which is very corrosive. Matt R

    Gasoline

    I can do anything I want with a little hacking of the computer.....LOL I usually have to run premium in mine because of the supercharger but it runs even better on the E85 since I can run more timing........ I am beta testing some flex fuel tuning on a completely stock 03 right now and all...

    Oil 5w-20

    I would never use 5W20 conventional oil in any of my vehicles. a film strength of 20 can't provide good enough protection for the engine under high load or high heat. I use mobil 1 5w30 and flows better when cold than conventional 5w20. if you really want cold starting performance and a mileage...

    Vibration and MPG question

    i run whatever pressure it takes to have an even contact patch to the road.... look at your "road marks" on the tires. If it looks like the edges of the tires aren't contacting the road much use less air. if the edges (side of edges) of the tread look like they are being scuffed then you need...

    flex fuel, what vehicles from ford are capable

    Well i just did a test with E85 on mine and dropped 20 percent economy in city/highway driving. Knocked down 13 which is okay since it is so cheap compared to premium especially... Now i need to upgrade my fuel pump, it doesn't have enough capacity to fully support my fuel needs at 9lbs of...

    Cat Back Exhaust

    You more than likely have precats and cats on each side. The precats are usually smaller so they can light off faster. Matt R
