Any Local Modular Fans / Gurus?
I'm going to be moving to the Huntsville area from St. Louis (took a new job) with my... slightly... modified 97 GT and was wondering if there were any modular gurus in the area that share a like interest in trying to work on these things.
Thanks,
Adam

Adam,
Welcome to Madison. I grew up in St. Louis (Fenton, South County, Eureka) and moved here in 1997. We love the Huntsville/Madison area.
We have a very active Mustang club that meets once a month and does activities periodically. Click on the stickie up top to visit our website and come on out to a meeting. We have many latemodel Mustangs and some classics.
Looking forward to meeting you,
Mark

I actually help run the big Mustang club here in St. Louis (we have a few thousand members, not all active at the same time). Once I get settled in, and my car is running again, I'll try and show up to some meetings.

That doesn't look like a headache to me, if that says anything about my car...

Try Deron Shady at 859-1969, probably one of the most knowledgeable Mustang mechanics around. You'll probably have to leave a message but make sure to say I told you to call. Oh, and welcome to the Huntsville area.

Not looking for a mechanic - it's a hobby, so I do all the work (with help from friends).

Nice - I went with an aluminum block too, although I didn't buck up for the sleeves.
Still don't have a tune on it, and I most likely won't do it myself - too much money tied up to learn on for me.
Do you have some sort of forced induction on yours?

there was the time i didn't have the fuel line locked inplace with the fpr and touched it and had a face full of gas, so fast i didnt know what happened,
*** pepper spray is nothing compared to gas****
lets not forget the pats problem i had since the guy i got the motor computer and gauges failed to mention they were not from the same car
overheating several times before i figured out there was no signal coming from the sending unit to the fan,
broken intake manifold,
car would miss @ high rpm, couldn't figure out why, finally pupped plugs and 1 had no gap like it was smashed, couldn't even get my fingernail between the space! replaced all 8 plugs and is good to go
problems i still have,
car shifts too early(99 gt auto trans) from first to 2nd 15-20 mph then right into 3rd then finally od will kik in @ 35 mpg keeping car around 900 rpm@ 40 if i get on it it wil down shift from od to 1st!
wiring problem,
currently running headlights on a toggle switch since the actual headlight switch would not turn the lights on and would start to glow red!
cel allwayscomes on with a system lean, or a evap emissions small leak!
cannot fix!

No forced induction. It's nice and the torque from a roots/screw type is awesome but I may end up making a road race or time trials car out of it and don't want to worry about the issues associated with consistant high throttle periods without much cool down time. The sleeves replaced the FI part in price anyways, lol. Plus I still get good driving maners on something I can tune and decent milage, especially for the power it makes.
