    Need help with exhaust!

    ^ agree. With an Lsc and the true dual pipes it does sounds nice. You can put race bullets on later if it's a little too loud for you

    Starting in 2nd gear.

    You might try pulling the valve body and give it a clean with a new plate gasket while your at it

    My opinion is maybe be worried more about the tune itself then the tuner that loads it to the car.

    New Owner - CA

    Not trying to stir the boat but you can use some 2000 grit sandpaper and wet sand the head lights first. 1 piece of sandpaper is about $1 at a paint store. If you have a buffer you can use just about anything to buff the lense to a mirror finish. I use turtle wax polishing compound. (do the...

    Oil Pressure High RPM

    Yeah you'd have to look from underneath. The filter isn't really easily accessable, that's why they use a smaller filter. I didn't see the second page about the 6.5 quarts oil capacity, I'll have to take that into consideration... - - - Updated - - - I thought the cobra has a different oil...

    Oil Pressure High RPM

    I wouldn't put another half a quart in there if it's that high on the stick. Overfilling it isn't going to help anything. The oil doesn't have to be filled to the brim to have enough oil pressure. I would change the sender like you said. This is a shot in the dark but some quick lube places...

    Trans flush on the 94

    4 quarts for the pan is minused from 12.5, so 12.5 is the total number that it can hold. They probably charged you double for having to take the pan off. They prefer to hook it up to the machine and not get dirty. Did you ask for a price beforehand? $350 is gnarly

    95 Mark VIII trans issue

    Sounds like your trans is done. 98 up is preferable. 99 and up better. 99- 03 maybe 04 not sure on 04. Get one from a car. Trucks use a different valve body. You can use one from a Mustang, Crown Victora/Grand Marquis civilian. Not a police interceptor or a Lincoln Town car, they have a longer...

    super cool tranny

    Going from the trans to the radiator to the trans cooler and back to the trans IS the typical trans cooler installation. Always a good idea. Just have to make sure you connect the cooler to the return line.

    Are you saying that it won't kick down to first gear when you're moving? Does your shifter line up? Maybe they installed the valve body wrong?

    Why .048 gap on plugs

    My old 1993 Crown Victoria 4.6 had the same .052-.056 gap specification. I don't believe it came with platinum plugs from the factory so I don't think the gap was prescribed for platinum. I agree with gaping a little smaller that specified for longer service life but going from a .048 to .056...

    New MK8 owner from Oregon, the State Park.

    Welcome! I'd suggest maybe a roots blower, cowl hood, gears and built trans to hit that sweet spot.

    Why .048 gap on plugs

    You're more likely to have a miss fire with a wider plug gap. It's harder for the spark to jump the gap under high rpm and high cylinder pressure. A wider plug gap is emission related and gives you more spark and a hotter leaner burn. You can get a potential spark nock from the wide gap and lose...
