    Rear Gears

    I'm looking for new gears for my stang, I do a LOT of long highway trips with it, so I'm looking for a nice mix of performance and daily. I don't think 3.73's would be enough to keep me happy, but 4.10's I know are more than I want when on the highway. That being said, i found a 3.89 ring...

    S197 Alternator

    I've seen quite a few threads where people have had to replace their stock alt. I was wondering what brand people have gone with and how they like them, my alt is on it's way to death, and there is no way it can take the new stereo, so I'm replacing it before it leaves me stranded somewhere...

    Idle Problems

    My gf has a 2000 GT auto, and within the last year, it's been giving her some fits. When she pulls up to stop somewhere, the car's RPM will dip, almost to the point of dying (it has died a couple times), and then the RPM surges up past idle, then settles in to where it should be. If it was a...

    Heading to the strip, advice needed

    Alright, I'll be making my first trip to the strip to see how my 06 GT does. I'll be running it on street tires (20s at that) so I'm not looking for AMAZING times, but more or less just looking to have some fun, if I like it, I'll get a set of 17s on drag radials. Now to my questions: 1. On...

    Fiberglass Hoods?

    I'm maybe gonna check out a Cervini's 2.5" Cowl Hood since you can get it shipped pre painted. Does anybody know if there is a big difference in looks from the stock metal hood to an aftermarket fiberglass hood (paint depth, color, shine, how long the paint stays looking good, etc.)? I like...

    Coil Packs

    I've seen a LOT of cars that change the coil packs when they change the spark plugs, most seem to go to the ACCEL or MSD coils. Is there a reason, like the stock ones suck or break, or is this just a mod for like 5 RWHP that people do just because. The car is a 2006 GT.

    Hood Insulation

    So I have the stock hood on my 2006 GT, but the hood blanket thing that is on it rubbed my intake manifold cover I had before. I'm looking to go with the FRPP manifold, but I don't want to put it in and have it all messed up from the insulator rubbing it. Is there a reason to leave it on...

    Roll Bar for 06 GT

    I have an 06 GT coupe that is going to start seeing quite a bit of track time but is still a daily driver. I don't need it, but I feel that if I'm going to track the car in any manner, I'd like to have some sort of cage in it. Really, I show the car more than track it, and with all the stereo...

    Spark Plugs for 06 GT

    Does anybody but Ford make spark plugs for 2006 GTs? I've looked and all I can find are plugs for the V6, and then like 08 and newer or something GT. The only ones for the 06 GT that I've found are the Ford replacement sets and I'd really like to go a heat range colder for the nitrous...

    Just wrapped up my audio install :D

    Just wrapped up all the little bits and pieces of the first part of my audio install in my 2006 GT. Pretty happy I was able to fit all of it in the car in such a clean install. I'll keep everybody posted on when I start the second part. I realize this is mostly a performance based forum, but...

    Email Tune?

    I have a 2006 GT 5-spd with a borla axle back, JLT CAI, and an Edelbrock nitrous kit. I'm going to be adding a set of Brenspeed Detroit Rockers or FRPP Hot Rod cams and the steeda charge motion plates. I talked to American Muscle and they said that if I backed the nitrous jetting down to 100...

    LT Header Questions!

    Ok, I'd like to get my order placed this weekend for the Hooker SuperComp longtube headers for my 2006 Mustang GT, but I just have a couple reservations before I make the plunge and get them. One, how much does it alter the exhaust tone? I've got stock exhaust except for a Borla axle-back and...

    Sub Box for 2000 GT with Mach 460

    Has anybody made a box for a 2000 mustang with the Mach 460? If so, I was wondering if I could get the dimensions you used, I'm going to be making one for my gf's GT so i don't exactly have the car to measure what everything needs to be. I'm looking at a sealed box for two 12" RF p2s, so I'm...

    Next Performance Mod

    I have a 2006 GT 5-spd. The only performance mods so far are a JLT intake, SCT tuning, Borla axle-back and a 125 shot of N2O. From everybody's experience, what mods give the most HP and low-end torque for the money? I'm in college, so I don't want to waste money on mods that may not affect...

    I have a 2006 GT 5-spd that I got used (the guy only had it like 6 months before he ordered a GT500). My question is, I'm looking to upgrade my rear gears, get a little more acceleration out of the car while it's on the street. But I don't know what to go with, and to be honest, I don't even...
