    Engine Crankshafts

    I've been rolling around the idea of possibly stroking my '06 GT, and if not, at least strengthening my rotating assembly. I'm sitting on around 425 hp NA and would like to eventually supercharge or spray it as well as increase engine speed to around 7500 RPM. Either choice would include H -...

    Engine Rough Cold Start

    I have an '06 GT with Kooks headers, catted x-pipe, Detroit Rocker cams, FRPP intake and throttle bottle, C&L Racer intake, Brenspeed 93 octane tune, and Performance Automatic 2800 RPM torque converter. For about the last 8 months I've had an issue where, when starting the car in cold or wet...

    Exhaust Exhaust Wrapping

    I have a set of Kooks long-tubes and a catted x-pipe and they produce a ton of heat. I want to use some exhaust wrap, but I'm curious if they might retain water and cause rusting. Thoughts?

    Fuel Frpp Manifold/tbi Whistle/whoosh

    I added the Ford Racing intake manifold and throttle body pack to my '06 GT about six months ago, and ever since the engine makes a whooshing, whistling sound while cruising. It's just loud enough to only hear it when driving under an overpass. Has anybody else encountered this?

    Suspension Ideal Jack Location

    I've been searching around looking for K-members, chassis stiffeners, etc for my '06 GT, but I'm curious about what locations you've had good luck with floor jack and stands placement. Generally, I either place the jack underneath the K-member right below the oil pan, or on one side or the...

    Expired Factory '05-'10 4.6 3v Intake Manifold And Throttle Body

    Selling a used, fully functioning OEM intake manifold, throttle body, and charge motion control valves off of an '06 Mustang GT. I replaced them with the FRPP manifold and throttle body, but they worked and had zero issues before the swap. Approximately 40,000 miles on the set, so there is...

    Exhaust Kooks Cats

    I currently have an '06 GT running Kooks long tubes with cats, cams, FRPP intake manifold and throttle body, and C&L Racer intake. My exhaust has a very pungent, awful smell. Anyone else come across this?

    Engine Engine Surge

    I just installed a 2800 stall Performance Automatic torque converter in my '06 GT. It idles and drives great, but the problem is that the engine surges while coasting in gear. It will drop down to 500 RPM then back up to 750. Sometimes it will drop to 500 and jump all the way up to 1500. It...

    Drivetrain Torque Converter Install

    Alrighty, '06 GT with 5R55S. I just picked up a PI torque converter. What's the easiest method of installation? Pull the engine, drop the trans, or drop the k-member? Or, is there some other magical method I haven't considered? I have access to lifts, hoists, or even a scissor lift.

    Drivetrain Torque Converter Flush

    I recently had an opportunity to purchase a take off Precision Industries 2800 RPM stall speed torque converter from my parts company. Anybody know how to flush a torque converter while off the transmission? I'm going to be doing the install myself but want to make sure it's free of any foreign...

    Electrical Autonomous Headlight Operation

    Here's the deal...I have a 2006 GT that just developed a dead battery while I'm at work. The headlight switch was in the 'off' position, yet the driver's side headlight is on and will not shut off. Neither the parking lights, tail lights, or passenger's side headlight is on. This has happened...

    Engine Frpp Intake Manifold

    I have an '06 GT and I have a two part question. The car has a Shaker system but I would like to install the FRPP intake manifold. The Shaker merely bolts to the top two throttle body bolts and rests on top of the manifold. Is the throttle body location and the overall height of the intake the...

    Engine Camshaft Slip

    I recently installed Detroit Rocker camshafts, Kooks long tubes with cats, C&L Racer intake, and a custom tune from Been speed on my '06 GT. It started and idled fine, and even handled some at-idle revving, but when I took it for a drive, about one second into my first WOT pull, a camshaft...

    Valve Float

    Anybody know the approximate RPM that factory 3V springs begin to float the valves with the stock or a conservative lift "no springs required" cam?

    Dash Rattle

    I've been getting a weird vibration or rattle coming from inside my 2006 GT's dash for some time, and it's really been starting to drive me crazy. It is only audible at a specific RPM range -- when I idle, in gear, at a stop sign and the transmission slightly slows down the engine. It sounds...

    X Vs. H Pipe.

    I'm running an '06 GT that will shortly be receiving an intercooled, centrifugal supercharger and BBK long tubes. At the moment, it has Magnaflow axleback exhaust, and I'll be trying it out with the blower and headers, but am unsure which mid-pipe to get. It'll definitely be the offroad...
