I also had the no start problem and some of the symptoms where that when I did start it sometimes the check engine light would come on. I would turn it off and re-start it and the check engine light would be off and everything seemed fine. However without any warning I would attempt to start and...

Most of us have had the pully and the tune for around 600 rwhp, however all our dyno runs show the hp and torque lines to be rather jagged above 4500 rpm. They attribute it to the boost blowing out the spark. The GT Guys and Jerry gapped the plugs and did the tune so we went with the best...

Has anyone had any experience using the boost-a-spark from Kenne Bell? Flash

Bony, Are you using the ceramic pads for the GT? How are they on the track and where did you get them? Flash

Anyone who has boosted their cars and dynoed them has probsably noticed the jagged graph line from the dyno print out. Kenne Bell says that with boost they have noticed the supercharger blowing out the spark. Their recommendition it to install a Boost-A-Spark. Has anyone had any experience with...

Kirby spoke with someone about the fuel delivery problem and after replacing the pumps and than the entire fuel tank they discovered that the electrical ground was loose and only providing 10 volts to the pumps. Kirby and myself had our pumps outputs tested while driving and we were both near...

Kirby, Here are some pics. Flash:cheers

Richard, Where did you have the work done, it seems like they know what they are dong? Flash

I also had the track overheating problems 235 degrees before I backed off and was very disappointed with the cooling system although the air temp was between 95 & 100. I had the springs installed and also had the engine mapped so that the low and high speed fans come in earlier. Now with cooler...

Bill, What organization is putting on the event and what is the date? I ran at Road Atlanta and I had 27 on the front and 29 on the rears. Flash:cheers

I have to add this from Gordon who came to Atlanta in June for the GT Guys and Jerry for a tune. I hope he doesn't mind but this is from an email to our group and it's a classic. I will cut and paste his experience. Kirby - "Dittos" - I enjoyed meeting all the guys. Thanks for arranging the...

I posted in the thread on Water Temps and I believe the hose collapse issue is really a major issue. In the Atlanta area our summer ambient temps have been 95+ and during a track session once the engine temp hit around 205 I believe it softened the hose and it must have started to collapse very...

Do a search on Water Temp and you will get a thread on possible fixes and causes. Could be that the large radiator hose going into the engine is collapsing. Flash :cheers

When we had the car on the lift the techs looked at the lower radiator hose and were surprised at its size. It looks to be almost 3" and they said they can see where it might collapse. Our theory is that once the temp gets to about 210 the heat might soften the hose enough to make it flex more...

Casper, Thanks for the info. I will pass it on to the techs at Marietta Team Ford. Where did you have your car serviced just in case our tech wants to speak with your tech? Thanks again. Flash :cheers
