I am just wondering how my fellow SC-Tour owners are doing??
Hows the cars running?
Any problems?
performance??
As for mine,
The Car is running great, no aparent problems, spent a lot on recent front suspension/drivetrain repairs that needed to be done... BUT it was needing it before the SC went on so I can't blame it on the SC.

Still not right. But alot better. I'm gaining on it  I haven't driven it since I installed fuel pressure gauge since my CV joint pretty much disintegrated (due to excessive abuse before the S/C install :D) Ordered my Drive Shaft Shop Stage II halfshafts at the end of last week so they should get here this week and be installed by next weekend. Then I will have some more info to help diagnose the problem. After that its off to the dragstrip

mine is actually due here today.....AT LEAST IT BETTER BE......i ordered it may 12 and have been waiting since...but anyway if its here today, tomorrow work will begin.....also i talked to the guy i ordered mine from, he has a 1998.5 svt also but its supercharged.....he recommended that i get rid of my stock plugs(although they are new) and go with autolite part#764 gapped at .32 does that sound right? he told me that when he drove it over 6000 rpms that there was no spark with stock plugs....

Thanks I watched a S/C 'Tour outrun a modded cobra in the 1/4. Not sure what mods the Cobra had done, but it was fun to watch, unfortunately it was grudge match racing that night so no times. Rick

Thanks My little step-brother has a high 13 sec 5.0, we raced and I put two car lengths on him. My friend Julian has a high 13-low 14 second all motor Civic and I put about a length & a half on him. other then that the only cars I have raced were punkazzes that didn't know what they got themselves into. As for the cars reliability, I have had only minor problems which weren't any more significant then normal problems we get without the SC. plugs... do not run the .032 gap on the street... they get fowled out to easily with that low of a gap. for a daily use setup run .045 w/ a good set of wires. -mark
