Well put it this way, long story short, I have to buy a new motor for my 5.0 because of that mistake, and a few others done largely by Firestone from the days before I could do my own engine work. But it's all good, that motor going bye bye made me get my 99 Cobra. Now I just have to breath life in that damn car again because I actually need it to run again now.

Yeah you don't need to drive a ton of miles, just a few hours, or even 250-500 is more than enough to get everything to seat and tighten up. If you have a tuner you can run diagnostics/data logging, while you drive to make sure it's all good.

I drove my car untunned on a stock 97 GT ecu with a procharged 4v. Just don't take it into boost.

Ya man just gotta take measures to protect your 7k investment lol. Just gotta be easy on it while your breaking it in like jthorn said!! And ya you can always change out the supercharger down the road no biggie!!

Are you gettin a returnstyle fuel system?! Sound like your building a pretty sick car!!!

here another question, i had that superchips can tune, i don't know why i decided to go with it, i can't reverse it, it gives me an error 8, pretty stupid, and the company is no help at all. but is that gunna stay after the motor swap and cause any problems?

honestly i have never heard of super chips but i am assuming your are just talking about having a chip for you car...if thats the case the chip is only active when it is attached to the car...if it is a programmed then you need to take your car back to factory setting to (unmarry) it from the car...but no nothing is permanent...you will need a whole completely new tune once your motor is done and have the s/c hooked up....there is no way of telling how your motor will react and do with things and it is a NEED to have a dyno tune to get it properly tuned and running the way it should!

idk what an 8 error code is where do you see that at??

This superchrips module hooks up to the ODBII connector, pretty much advancing the timing and running more fuel i think. It reads trouble codes etc etc. I assume quite similar to the SCT can tunes. But i can't unmarry it, when i attempt to, it says error 8. And i'm with you in not knowing what that is. This is on the module when you try to remove the performance tune back to stock on the hand help programmer. Its used to increase HP and TQ. heres a pic

alright so you just program the car and unplug it i guess...which is really wierd idk what to tell you bout that man i do know that good dyno shops have the ability to fix many things possibly including that prob...also i would contact superchips bout the issue
