    A Good Combination!

    Got a 900 HP street legal GMC S-15 Blazer for a race car.

    A Good Combination!

    This is my street car - not a race car. Don't think I'll be doing anything else except tires.

    A Good Combination!

    I did a 3.89 gear change, an aluminum flywheel, and a SCT tune all at the same time on my '05 GT 5 speed. I also raised the idle RPM to 1000 to quicken the engine accel at the touch of the throttle. The engine does accel/decel much quicker. And, the RPM falls quicker between shifts - no more RPM...

    JEG'S Gears

    I know JEG'S leans hard on suppliers to cut prices. Makes me wonder if Richmond dumped some of their less desireable gear sets.

    JEG'S Gears

    Since doing this job several people have told me that Richmond gears were noiser than Motive or FRPP. Mine are noisy! The biggest problem with this job was the package enclosed instruction for the desired contact pattern was not for these gears. The instructions called for a centered contact...

    JEG'S Gears

    The JEG'S people did confirm that the gears are Richmond. They were not aware that their instructions did not match Richmonds procedure. They also offered to exchange the JEG'S gears for any other manufacturers gears. Not many places would even consider that. Now I have to decide whether I...

    JEG'S Gears

    The box was unmarked except for the scan label and the JEG'S part number. The gears were completely unmarked also. Since I wanted 3.89's, I know they are not FRPP. The gears had a lot of striations on the teeth and appeared very rough. The instructions were as expected with center contact...

    EXHAUST for 05 GT

    The GT does sound OK.....well maybe just a little too quiet. I had planned to drill the muffler internal baffles until I looked at them closely. There is no baffle to drill. The muffler is just 2 parallel perferated pipes....1 inlet and 1 outlet. My next idea idea is to drill a 1 inch...

    10 is the highest Ford priority.

    want to beat up the new car mgr

    Similar situation! Ford confirmed my order of a GT 130A (Deluxe with cloth interior) and spoiler delete back on 6/11/04. Now I see people that ordered cars after me have VINs and/or production/delivery dates. My car was the first order placed from this dealer but a red V6 will be the first...

    Livernois Dynoes '05 Mustang GT

    What has not been mentioned here is HP correction factor. How the weather conditions are measured and what correction factor is used has a HUGE effect on the numbers. I always take my own weather station to dyno sessions to do my own corrections. http://www.computechracing.com/drsystem.html...

    05 dynoes at 275rwhp and 292rwtq stock

    Is that good or bad? Not impressive! My '98 Camaro LS1 dynoed 285 HP right out of the box.

    Got my production date and VIN!!!!

    My dealer told me that Premiums (140A) get priority over Deluxes (130A). I ordered the cloth interior - so, I will have to wait a little longer.

    Got my production date and VIN!!!!

    Sept 27 production to Dec 1 delivery - seems too long. What is your priority code? Mine is 12 and I don't have a build date yet.

    Dumb Ricers

    When I was on my way home a couple days ago, I caught a light behind a white Neon. It had dual exhaust tips hanging down and a tag frame that said "Quick Chicks", "Girlie Girls Racing Team". I could just see the top of a head over the drivers seat. Then, as the light turned green, the Neon...

    Order in the Ford System

    Over the years I've bought 5 cars from this dealer - this will be the 6th. They know me by sight and remember my name. It's a podunk small town dealership but they are straight shooters. The sales people make their own deals and the owner approves every deal. I wonder how they got 3 allocations?

    All set for Preorders

    My '05 GT is officially in the Ford order system as of 6/11/04. I sat down with the sales manager at the local dealer as he keyed in the options, hit submit, and got - order accepted. It's order #6199 in my name.
