Re: Lend a brotha a power programer

Got mine Wednesday. Wow what a difference! Re-program shift points to where I want them, tune for 87 or 93 octane (87 for me) adjust shift firmness, change tire size. Hypertec, $399 + ups red = $427 or so. Now lets talk headers. The stock exhaust system desires something more. And my studs in the manifolds keep breaking....what gives?

Re: Lend a brotha a power programer

So with no more upgrades other than the chip, there are benefits to be seen? How does it workout as far as towing, better?

I am unfamiliar w/ the Ford V 10, hence never heard about the exhaust manifold studs. Is there a problem with heat transfer/cooling down causing the threads to walk (bolts loosen over time)
