    Reprogram the 5.0 computer

    I have a kit car that I used a 92 Mustang 5.0 drivetrain. I eliminated all the polution stuff. I had it stroked to a 347, 30# injectors, larger cam, etc. I have the stock tune and it runs but very rich. Is there a way to send in the computer and have it reflashed with a mild tune to run on...

    351 cam in a 347 stroker.

    I am planning on running this cam in a 347 stroker for a Cobra kit car. It specifies a 351W but I have read cams will interchange without problems. I am concerned about the distributor. Mallory stated the gears were the same size but Edelbrock told me I needed to run a 351W dizzy. But the...

    Traction Control button reset??

    Let me give you the background for my question. I have a co-worker that has an AWD Audi TT that was claiming on red light to red light he was beating a Z06. His car is stock and mainly claiming because of his AWD he was getting better traction. So he claimed he could beat me also. My 07 GT...

    Zoomer Axle Backs.. Anyone use?

    These look and sound a lot like Corsa's but a little cheaper. Anyone ever use them? They seem to sound a little quieter than Corsa with lower tone. I compared to the Corsa website sound clips. http://www.zoomersexhaust.com/vehicle_ford_gt.asp If you have seen or used please comment.

    Used GT prices are ridiculous....

    I have the new ride but was thinking of what to do. Should I mod it out or get an older 05/06 coupe to mod out to the extreme. I would not go extreme on the new ride especially since she is a vert. Would rather do that on a coupe. I was looking on Autotrader just now and low price within...

    Are all door handles the same color?

    I did not want the satin nickel look so did not get that upgrade although I would have like the leather wrapped wheel. Guess they make you take the good with the bad. Of course bad being all matter of personal preference. Anyway to my question. As seen in the picture the door handles are...

    My first simple mod other than taking off dealer tag...

    I saw this on Tacobill's car video a month or so back and liked it. Although, I did not want to explain to my 5yr old daughter not to go around saying "BADASS GT" like on his. :) So I made it simple. What you think? (not the best photgragher but hope you can see it okay) May try one...

    18" polished stock rims... Are the clear coated?

    I was reading the manual and it stated something about the aluminum wheels being clear coated. The polished 18's I could sware don't appear to have a coting but before I try to shine them up with something like "Mother's" I wanted to ask. Because if they are, that would be a big mistake.
