Hmmm, maybe the 02 housing?

josh your not free tomorrow correct? only thursday u said...?
o2 is not bad at all. seriously, you should get used to it, they seem to go every couple of years. If you do an aftermarket o2 housing you can swap them w/o removing anything but the manifold heat shield.

yes we are members. I think it was $90 for the family membership. In order to save some cash we had my inlaws open bank accounts using our address. Doing that shows proof of residency and lets them add on to our family account for only a dollar! I don't think there is an age limit for the pool.

A guy I work with got his Stang flashed yesterday at a place in Coatesville. He used some store bought programmer (diablo maybe), the car is an 99' (auto), intake, cat-back, I think thats it... His baseline pull was 308whp, all said and done he made 397whp, no torque reading apparently, in 1hr dyno time and only cost $75. He's all happy about it and I hate to rain on his parade but there is NO WAY!

I'm gonna get them to tune my car!

I told him we need to go to the track so he can back that number up with a trap speed, 400whp should trap what 115mph?

You're saying he can't make 89hp with intake and exhaust?

I'm saying a car that only makes 225hp (at the crank) from the factory isn't making almost 400whp with intake/exhaust and a pepboys flash. I wanna see what Josh's car would make over there, 750whp maybe? He'd be in Dan's hp range then...

BTW, you got a pm Chuster.

hey chu, thanks for the comment smarta$$. i was looking more for specifics like where on the 02 housing, underside, left, right, easy to see, stuff like that. ya big jerk

josh thanks for the heads up. youve been running it without any problems? the OEM is stupid expensive so another alternative would be great. thanks for the link bud!

its connected to the turbo. looking at the front of the car with hood open you can see the o2 wire running from the left side of the valve cover to the sensor. if you are still rocking the OEM heat shield the o2 sensor wire is clamped to it.

^ see now thats what i was looking for! thanks man, yes I am still sporting the heat shield so I will go take a look now. It appears to be a pretty easy swap, makes me feel a lot better, bc the car is running like crap and MPG is in the basement.

I agree with pete. Sounds like you're talking about a v6 mustang right? There s no way.

My stepfather has an 08 GT with throttle body, headers, x pipe, hfc, catback and intake. I'd be surprised if he cracks much more than 300whp with a tune. They're 300 at the crank from the factory.

What are those tails called? Kouki? I love those things. Please keep it clean, unlike those whiteboys from bristol that just seem to love primer!

I suck at spelling and grammer, heck I suck at the whole english language in general. I blame it all on my crappy philadelphia public school education.
