Default The Mistress

John, I've been following the story of the Mistress on your site for a few weeks now.

I wanted to tell you what an awesome car I think she is.


I just got a Screaming Yellow 06.

I just did the Diablo 93 tune and next week the exhaust goes in. Did you ever put in headers? I hadn't noticed on your site if you did or not, if so, which brand?

Thanks

Congrats on the new Screaming Yellow!!! And thanks!

Nope, no headers... not much of a gain... the stock manifolds aren't to bad on our cars.... the new muffler will get you a nice gain...

yep... in the process of putting a new 4.0L in... eventually we'll tear down original 4.0 to find out exactally what's wrong... but best guess is a piece of the piston broke off and smacked the spark plug and damaged at least the exhaust valve.....

My motor broke too. Only had 1800 miles on it (but I wasn't racing LOL). I think a piston seized up. Got the whole engine replaced becuase Ford wanted my old broken one.
