    Even Flow Cooling Kits

    Cooling mod Just got mine delivered from the big brown truck. Man what a nice piece of work! This is one of the few modifications that look factory. The quality of the machining is superb.The offset of the RH fitting is perfect for the Trilogy. I purchased this sight unseen, and it is exactly...

    FRPS mod

    Mod Not sure what the stick shift one is. I am thinking about changing the vac line that goes to the FRPS on the RH fuel rail to see boost as well as vacuum.

    FRPS mod

    Curious as to how many Trilogy guys have modified the FRPS to see boost. If so, what results did you see. What did you change in the tune? I am thinking about doing this seeing as I have the top half torn apart. This would be the perfect time to do it. Thanks for your time.

    Hibernation is over!

    Hibernation I took mine out for a maiden voyage after re installing the Trilogy after finding a leak on the snout seal and getting it rebuilt this winter after only about 500 miles on it.(Bone stock,no pulley change) The maiden voyage was a whole 60 miles only to find it leaking AGAIN.:mad2:Now...

    Hibernation is over!

    Spring sprung? After a ton of rain over the weekend I figured it was time. Called the insurance man, fired it up and went for a cruise. Man is SC fun in cool weather. Roads were exceptionally clean. The new tires feel awesome,it rides like a whole new car(that or it's been way too long since I...

    Continentals

    Tires Those backorders stink! I checked with the factory about a month ago and they stated a production start of March 1st. The rear BFGs are bald as a babys butt, the front BFGs have the MM syndrome (which was cured last fall). Now all I need is for the several feet of snow to melt, the roads...

    Continentals

    Tires The BFGs are gone and I was looking to replace with something different. These Continentals seem like a decent option. The reviews seem good, and the vendor told me if I didnt like them, he would give me full credit toward something else. I don't think I can lose. Sounds like they will be...

    Continentals

    Just curious if anyone is using the Continental DWS extreme contacts? I spoke with my supplier who went to a ride and drive comparing various tires and he stated these were the shiznit. Any thoughts? Thanks for your time.

    Taller rear tires...

    Tires I too am thinking about going to 255/55 as an alternative. To those who have done it, did you have to correct the speedo? Did you make a driven gear change on the VSS or did you do it in the programing?

    Stock subwoofer speaker replacement in OEM enclosure possible?

    Sub Earlier this spring I tried the JL Audio 6 inch sub.It is a real nice piece. It was almost a drop in. the edge of the magnet contacts the enclosure. I opted out because of time. I will probably install it this winter. I am going to try and heat that part of the enclosure and create more...

    Trilogy Question - Weight

    Weight Last fall (pre-install) while I was at a friends shop checking the alignment, we discussed this topic. So while the car had the alignment heads attached we added about 100 lbs and did see a little change , but not enough to affect anything. It was still in the acceptable range. I am...

    Part throttle detonation solved

    Detonation update Sorry this update is so late in coming. In the past I was chasing a part throttle detonation that drove me up a tree trouble shooting. The culprit appears to be the oxygenating agent in the fuel. I had been using a non oxygenated, ethanol free fuel with an octane rating of 94...

    Minnesota Fuel

    Fuel The jury is still out. After talking with Danny, his recommendation was to use the oxygenated fuel containing the 10% ethanol. He had the same situation occur in an 03-04 Cobra. The customer was running the same type of fuel as I was and he had to pull a ton of spark out of it to get it to...

    Minnesota Fuel

    All fuels are supposed to be 10% max although when I worked at the dealership we would see an occasional 16-17%. The fuel I was using was a BP non oxygenated,and no ethanol fuel. We use it in all of our extrication equipment,saws,generators, etc. because it retains its "potency" longer than...

    Minnesota Fuel

    The wires at the MAF were cut about 2 inches back from the plug. The wires cut were the outside grey wires. The wires coming from the harness were crimped and heat shrinked to the IAT harness thus completing the IAT circuit. The remaining tails from the plug were taped off and encased in...

    Minnesota Fuel

    Thanks a bunch for the offer. It is detonation for sure. I may have to get a dyno tune as much as I hate to deviate away from Lidios and Jerrys base line. The idea of a conservative tune really was appealing to me.I can't expect Lidio to randomly tune the thing from his place. There is a place...

    Minnesota Fuel

    I thought about that early on and reloaded the stock tune then added the 91 octane tune with no change in the problem.

    Trilogy The install has about 300 miles on it. THe car is 100 percent bone stock, 'cept for the Trilogy with the stock pulley ( 32,000 miles). At first I used the Motorcraft 32 platinums gapped down, thought maybe platinum tips were preigniting. Next put in copper 22 gapped down,still no...
