Hey All, Found an 02' LS I wanna buy for $1000. Suitable for the track. Has about 118k miles. Im gonna weight strip it, run a track tune I got years ago, and do a straight pipe (from headers). This will cause CEL from 02 sensors. Will the LS limp mode with no 02's? And if so, can I disable...

He also blew out his rear end when he merged onto the highway and his tire slipped catching a puddle. Sent him into the guard rails and totaled his LS. The main issue is that the Gen 1's have trash rear diffs (28 spline) which don't seem to wanna handle much HP increase over stock. Gen 2's come...

You can find the Jaguar S Type - R Supercharger on Ebay for around $500 You'll wanna pull the intercooler from the scraps. Not sure about the headers but likely can swap. Some custom pipes and you're good to go. This will not work for 2nd Gen LS's due to VVT. All you need is a Dyno who knows...

Mustang Accel Coils. The part # is 140032-8 IMPORTANT: Reverse the pins on the connectors. The Mustangs power and ground is opposite. Better than the garbage Ford sells you. Tell Ford to shove their coils up their ass.

Mine is a 04 sport. Ok, maybe I'm a little harsh on the shocks. Over exaggerated. But they should have been stiffer. Drive a M package beamer or a JCP Mini. Those corner properly and will hurt your ass running over a pebble. I test drove the 2018 Mustang GT. Ford did everything right except 2...

Hey fellas been a bit. Hope everyone's doing well during the pandemic. This is sort of an update and a ramble. I'll start with an update: I have had much success so far working with Torrie and tuning the LS to avoid the dreaded failsafe. Running 94 octane seems to please the car, so I've been...

I drove a 2002 LS 3.9 for 8 years. 3-2 was a small delay, not that bad tbh. But then again, as I mentioned above, a good tune gets the shifts right. First gens have the worst tuning, especially that BS starting in 2nd. A tune changes that and let's you start in first. Shift pressure is upped and...

Shift times are Easy fix with a good tune.

I brought this up here before, and to my dismay, this is not going to do anything. In fact, it won't stick to the bottle. It's the type of plastic that the bottle is made of. Once the bottle cracks, the shear pressure of the coolant will likely rip through that flex seal. You'd need a super...

I have not, but I will now lol. I am still learning this program. Will try it tomorrow and let you know. Thanks!!!! Also, I will inspect my exhaust for a leak.

Just to Update: I contacted Torrie. On Monday he sent me some sort of de-tune to try and see if it fail safes. It hasn't yet, so thats good. I will be working with him a bit on this failsafe issue. Other issue: I replaced the MAF. Still has a weak startup, and I can still hear 'puffs' in the...

Right, I'm prolly biting off more than I can chew. I'll address this later. I emailed Torrie, waiting for his reply.

2004 LS's are prone to bad Transmission solenoids. And the carfax that came with my LS doesn't show this was replaced or worked on. I was looking up online for the part, and found that re-manufactured sell for $170 on ebay. That leads me to believe this isn't a cheap piece. And I'm also...

Well I appreciate all of your help. I will email him. At the same time, I do have the MAF coming in on Tuesday. I'll also still check for an air leak with the seal as you suggested (using carb cleaner). Do it Tuesday when I get the MAF. Thanks again for all your help and suggestions. Will post...

Ok. So I have read lots about tuners getting offended if you question the tune. Can you recommend to me, how to approach Torrie on this issue so as to not offend him?
