    Digital Tuning Pinging With Procal Tune

    you can set your octane adjust with the tuner to Y. This tune really likes good gas, no question. However, I have shoved my fully loaded 12 into the 11s on this tune.

    Spare Tire Question

    Like the trunk space til I misjudged a cutaway slightly 2 days ago, just enough to blow the right rear P Zero on my BBP car. The tire snot just shot out the sidewall, which wasn't a good sign so, I just drove it zero pressure the 3 km to home at 5km/h via the sideroads. Now I was on the bench...

    Mt82 Complete Gear Lock Out Even At Idle.

    "...when I do get it into 1st and have my foot off the brake, it pulls forward, so it's obviously not disengaging correctly." it's clearly a clutch issue, whatever the cause. Could be a hanging throwout bearing, bent clutch fingers, warped PP or disc, bolts out, yada yada. Needs looking at...

    Most Fuel Efficient Cruise Speed?

    I've broken 30 mpg on a winding highway trip with a 6 speed manual 3.73 loaded car + a nervous passenger = pretty steady state 60 mph. Fuel efficiency on these cars is very proportional to road speed and throttle position.

    Electrical 2014 V6 Dash/software/electronics Glitch

    "Tech" is the optional package that comes with the big 8" touch screeen centre stack. Buttons 3 and 6 are the radio buttons. The problem with scan gauge, etc. is they can't read deeper level, Mustang specific codes for this car, just the basic OBD2 stuff. Ford IDS can do that or you can, if you...

    Electrical 2014 V6 Dash/software/electronics Glitch

    I think it's possible your cluster may have lost connection with the ECM or smart junction box. If that happens, it can light lights without precipitating cause. The cluster is not just a dumb bunch of lights and dials, it's a built in part of the oversight on the various systems in the car...

    Drivetrain Is The Manual Transmission Reliable?

    The V6 ain't straining the transmission much, I think with some well thought out suggestions like you've received, you'll be fine. I have a comme ci, comm ca relationship with my MT82. It did blow up, unprovoked, at 1500 miles, no racing, nothing. Since Ford rebuilt it though, it's been down...

    Flashing Nav Symbol

    I don't know about the 14 or the flash but, when my GPS antenna went out, I had the little No GPS strikethrough displayed on the Nav. new antenna under warranty, no problem.

    Drivetrain Buying New Gt - Living Long-term With 3.73s?

    These cars aren't slugs no matter what's out back. It's just the DOHC power curve and the 3.73 jump are a really happy marriage. I'm at 12 flat at 114 on a fully loaded car on the MT82, drag slick, Roush upper, cheap poly lowers and the Procal tune. It's a match made in heaven and like others...

    Perell P Zero Tread Life

    You can use a penny stuck between tread blocks for comparison purposes. These tires are actually very good. They aren't the newest design but, they are also not your off-the-rack P Zeros, either. The sidewall says, MO, which means "Mercedes Original". These tires are constructed and compounded...

    Perell P Zero Tread Life

    Probably going with Michelin Pilot SS next time, myself. Everyone I know that has them says they are better than Pzeros with twice the tread wear. Expensive, yes but, not as much as buying 2 sets of tires.

    Perell P Zero Tread Life

    there's actually only 10/32 of tread on them to begin with, don't expect too much. I'm at 20,000 kilometers and they are half worn.

    Dtc Help

    There is a TSB out for crankshaft sensor o-ring that could be the fault here. This one should go back to dealer for diag on Ford IDS.

    Speedo Fix

    Just do it my way. It works and is as accurate as it can possibly be. The online calculators are at best a SWAG.

    Speedo Fix

    Doing it legit in your garage, since this is not as simple as plugging numbers in, as diameter changes all the time. Dab of grease on centre tread, roll car til the grease hits twice, measure the distance between centre of the spots in inches. Convert a mile into inches, (63, 360) Divide...

    2014 Gt 5.0 Track Pack.......anybody Have One Yet??

    Little thing...the 3.73s non-Torsen rears have always come with the GT500 carbon clutches in the diff as standard. Little thing Ford didn't advertise. Most of the TP value is in the BBP (so called, "GT brake performance package") already. The additional cooling is ok if you live on the sunny...

    Tune vs Warranty after reflash

    FRPP's warranty on its tune (Procal) is second to none. It warrants the entire powertrain for the duration of the 3/30 B2B, replacing the factory PT coverage during that period, if the tune causes a failure. That's WAY bettter than just cyl 8. The problem is getting a high cost warranty claim...

    Drivetrain 2013 Gt W/t Track Pack

    Upper control arm is where most of the problem is happening. Do that first, then LCAs if you want. Not complicated or too expensive that way.

    Aftermarkey Rims.. Do I Need To Remove Any Spacers Or Hardware From The Hub?

    There's a little spring washer on one stud that was used on the ass'y line to hold the disc in place. You can take it off or leave it alone; the likelihood of this being an issue is very slight.

    How Many Of You Start In Second Gear?

    I can start in 1,2 or 3 with only the slightest uptick in clutch slip in 3rd only. a 2 start is indistinguishable from a 1 start. I regularly skip gears upshifting as they aren't all needed, going 1-3-5 or 2-4-6. I'm 3.73 BBP car. There should be no discernible negative effects from a...
