    rpms do not drop between shifts?

    I put an IAC restrictor plate on my 98 GT with PI motor swap at the advice of Stangnet members and BOOOM, hanging idle fixed! Got mine on ebay for less than 10 bucks. Hope that helps!

    Need Some help Please

    Gear changes will absolutely change your speedo reading if not corrected. Based on the info you have provided it sounds like 4.10s.

    Email Tune?

    Around here 300-500 is about the going rate for dyno tunes, unless you pay by the hour, or buy into group rate dyno days. The dyno tune in the long run will serve you better, but you will see good HP gains and not have any problems with a Brenspeed tune. Once you have a little more cash...

    Which mod should I do next?

    Dyno numbers or how it feels? Dyno numbers......LTs and UDPs. How the car feels.......4.10 gears. Cheapest outlay of cash for biggest seat of the pants improvement.

    3.73s

    My MPG changed less than 2mpg in my 06 GT when I changed gears to 3.73.

    Email Tune?

    I saw a negligible difference in my MPG in my prior 06 GT with my nitrous tune, and it had built 302 stroker, heads, cams, the whole 9. So you shouldn't see much difference.

    part 2-Got them down to $27K out the door

    27k isn't bad at all for 2010, but I bet they really start wheeling and dealing when the 2011's hit lots hardcore. I know lots of people who would finance the extra money up front to have the new 5.0. Dealer lots around here are packed FULL of 2010's and IMO it's going to get worse once...

    4.10 or 3.73

    What do you mean "maximize its full HP potential". If you are talking about dyno numbers then it's really no matter which gear ya run, but if you are going to drag the car or want to put the most torque to the ground that's a different story. If you plan on drag racing the car, stay with the...

    how much should i see??

    10.6:1 and 11# of boost on a stock 2V bottom end is not going to give you much longevity. The HP numbers you'll see alone (425-450) are not really advisable on stock 2V shortblocks for extended periods, but couple the increase in compression that naturally occurs with the PI heads and Non-PI...

    Rear Brake Caliper Issue 2002 GT

    Rear brake pad changes do not require removing spring. Just make sure Ebrake is not locked, pull the ebrake cable end that sits behind rear caliper with pliers, and feed around U braket that holds it in place. Then push it through the hole it sits in and ....voila its out of your way...

    Change the pulley and raise the boost/HP?

    If you have a handheld tuner, multiple tunes can help with this as well.:D Just switch tunes when you travel to sea level.

    Change the pulley and raise the boost/HP?

    A slightly smaller blower pulley and tune might net you somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-45 rwhp. I swapped my stock 3" pulley on my 09 GT500 with a VMP 2.6" pulley, and picked up around 50-60 rwhp. The stock internals on 3V motors will hold up until you start to get deeper into the...

    HEAD SWAP ????

    A PI intake should be used with a PI head/cam swap. The plastic OE PI intake manifold from Ford flows just fine and will hold up just fine for N/A motors or motors with all the usual bolt-ons. Summit has OE PI intake manifolds for around $150 new, but they can be purchased cheaply online as...

    HEAD SWAP ????

    If you're looking at the motor on PI intake manifold, first runner goes to driver's side. Also look at build sticker on valve cover on driver's side, It will have build date. These aren't 100% methods as intake manifolds are easy to change and the build sticker might not still be on the...
