eh, our stock hood is already light, so i dont think it weighs that much less really...mostly for looks i think

 

yeah the stock hoods are Aluminum so they are pretty dam light, the most you really get out of a CF is the looks

 

Anyone know what an "intermittent missing" code is? I think thats why Mike told me. Its only happening sometimes, not all the time. Trying to figure it out so if anyone has any ideas, it would help...Thanks!

 

Numbers????

 

Ya we gotta figure out this intermittent thing first. Mikes takin a look at it today and tomorrow...

 

Intermittent means it is irregular. Does he mean an Intermittent missfire code?

 

Yeah i think so

 

You mean random multicylinder misfire?

 

Yeah im pretty sure its a random misfire code. Its happened before, but not often.

 

My car has had that code since day one, I was told by turbonetics that that is what all of the kits get. My tuner didn't address it as an issue, but if Mike figures it out let me know, and I can't wait to see those numbers.

 

yeah i definately will....the car should be done for tomorrow, so hopefully everything works out...

 

Ok so Mike found the problem. There was a loose ecu wire from when i took out the R4 box when i used to have the vortech. Now its fixed and ill be gettin it back tomorrow afternoon. He did a stock boost run today at 7-8 psi and it put down just under 400 whp, so i cant wait to see what it does when he cranks it. I can almost guarantee ill have the numbers and maybe a chart posted by tomorrow night...

 

So with lower compression pistons and 7-8psi your just under 400whp? Exactly how much under? Doesnt sound right, you should make less hp/psi cuz of the compression, and you should be overboosting with the dual 3" exhaust-Im surprised you arent seeing more boost. But if this is a sign of things to come, then your car is gonna be sicker than I imagined. Keep us updated....

 

I dont know exactly how much under, that is just what Mike told me. Ill know exact numbers by tomorrow, so itll give you a better idea. Also when i had my vortech, i had the 2.87 pulley on it and i made 418 whp on a mustang dyno. I thought that was higher than normal too, but who knows....

 

so, whats the status?

 

runnin into little problems here and there, another injector went bad on tuesday, they fixed it, im suppose to pick it up today, but this morning they had to replace the thermostat cuz the car was overheating when the heater was turned on, so thats getting fixed now. I can prolly pick it up today...I swear i have the worst luck...lol

 

well hope it all goes well for ya

 

TOO MUCH SUSPENSE, LOL. Can't wait to see the final numbers. Your luck will change as soon as you press the gas hard to the floor, all worries will end, lol.

 

489whp..my guess..I want a cookie if I'm right.

 

Any updates?
