I recently did the Steeda base bushing and transmission mount insert. I also added a weighted shift knob. I used to have to work around the notchy shifts but now it is smooth as butter. All the other components including clutch are 100% stock. The steeda items increase NVH but I think the...
I had a PMAS for a while and I do think it performed a bit better than stock in ideal conditions (like 55* and 40 roll). The high IATs killed it for me though especially in traffic. It would pull so much timing I swear I'd lose 100 hp.
I then went back to the stock intake but added the...
What is the purpose of breaking this down urban vs country exactly?
I grew up and have lived in a rural area of Indiana most of my life but currently live in the city for work. If my s550 had squeaks after 2 years of ownership (luckily it doesn't yet though I've had other issues) I'd be...
I think I got my Deep Impact Blue badges from LMR but I don't 100% remember. I know they had black too. If I was more careful taking my black one off without breaking tabs, I'd send it to you.
This. I had the exact issue you're describing with my PMAS intake when I rotated my MAF too far down into the engine bay. Hell, it was so bad it would occasionally shut the car down. Took me a week to sort out but the solution was simple: rotate maf back up.
EDIT: If you see your AFR...
I just did a 1300 mile round trip to TN with lots of highway driving around 80mph plus a lot of spirited mountain driving including the Tail of the Dragon. Got 23mpg and change. Take out the spirited driving and a few pulls past triple digits, I bet 25mpg would be easily attainable. I have a...
Yeah I don't know the exact gearing specs off the top of my head but 4th is the 1:1 in 18+ so it has 2 overdrive gears. 5th is the 1:1 in 15-17. Basically there is just a bigger jump between gears in the 18+.
Probably not the best financial decision but if you really want a manual and can swing it, go for it. Or maybe look into a nice 15-17 as the mt-82 ratios are better.
Thanks to everyone for chiming in! I don't think it's a tune issue. Has been on the same tune for a long time. I do think I sorted it out last night...maybe. I forgot I did this but I had adjusted the MAF a little while back to sit a little further down in the engine bay and I think the fan...
Hey everyone, I have noticed recently that my car occasionally stumbles when coming to a stop. RPMs will briefly dip below 500 before coming back up to normal idle right as I get below about 5 mph or stop completely. Well today they dipped enough that it killed the car. No problem, it fired...
It's not a night and day difference but it is definitely enough to notice at low rpms. The coyote definitely wants to rev to make real power though. It will never be much of a down low torque monster N/A.
A good tune will definitely beef up low end torque. My mt82 car with 3.31s was basically useless in 6th gear even if I needed just a tiny bit of acceleration at 70mph. The tune makes it a lot easier to gain a bit of speed if needed to pass or whatever.
I love the machs. Such cool cars. I like them over the cobras (except the termi). I recently picked up a 99 GT just to use as a daily so I don't put a ton of miles on my 17 just going to work. It's not fast by any means but it is enjoyable to toss the rear end out.
I don't have it on hand but I believe the SCT devices will have options for several of the major CAIs including JLT. I may be wrong but I seem to remember that being an option. I got a tune from VMP at the same time I bought my PMAS so it was never something I much cared about.
I hope I didn't come off as bragging above. I was terrified I wouldn't be covered until they said it was but I knew the risk from the beginning. It was also a common problem that was highly unlikely to be tune related. I was just stating that mine was fixed and it could be they did cash in...
Had a long block replaced at 12k miles due to piston slap. I brought it to the dealer I bought it from in stock trim but they knew it had been tuned previously. I'm really good friends with a couple of their salesmen so maybe they worked a little harder for me to get it done. I don't know...
