    2013 Gt Auto Supercharged Wont Hook Up Spins Spins Spins

    I don't know what the weather's like where you are but, those tires aren't worth a damn when there's any temp drop from full summer; they're worse than even the Brembo Pirellis for that. They need heat like a Camaro SS needs gas stations....

    What Weather-tech/floor Mats Do You Recommend For 2013 Mustang?

    Go for the custom-fit hard Weathertech mats. Indestructible and protects the factory cheap carpet as well as anything can. These are what I mean: http://www.weathertech.com/product-education-center/floorliner-digitalfit/

    Engine Oil Consumption During Break-in?

    My theory is because of the high rpm nature of this engine, it's been assembled a bit looser than might be the case with something that's never going to see that rpm. Could also be the ring pack (they are pretty slim but broadly spaced) or piston design (really short skirts). I'd be betting on...

    Engine Oil Consumption During Break-in?

    yeah, it goes through alot, just keep topping it up and know it'll stop eventually. Mine stopped when I poured out the factory stuff and put plain jane 5W30 quaker state in it, at about a three thousand miles. it's subsequently had a 5W20 factory oil change and no issues with consumption now on...

    Is Supercharging Capable Of High Miledge

    Let's put it this way...I bought a beat-on 88 5.0 that had about 70,000 miles on it back in 96. I put every power adder in the book on that thing at one time or another and last year, I sold the car for as much as I paid for it originally back in 96. Car was still making full compression, no...

    Voiding Your Warranty

    Mod anything and it's an open door to a difficult discussion re. getting warranty service, should anything go wrong. That's the truth, no matter what the laws of your country, state, province or locality may state. I think you're pretty safe with a cat- or axle-back, if that's what you mean by...

    2012 Gt Rough Idle

    Flash back to stock and see if the problem follows the reflash. If so, you know it's not tune related and then you can start looking for mechanical issues like a dirty MAF sensor or vac leaks.

    Tune

    Well, there is a flash counter and you can see the # of drive cycles on the car. If you bring it in with the comp reflashed 5 times on a 6 month old car and 2 drive cycles since last reflash, that might tip them off if you're claiming, "I don't know what happened, my engine's broke".

    Suspension Confused--'track Pack' Vs 'brembo Brake Pkg'

    http://s1190.photobucket.com/albums/z453/5lho/ It's the rainy day pic in the big parking lot. You can see the car is alot more level in the back and the fender gap is smaller.

    Engine Coyote 5.0 Engine Issues

    It's real possible. The oil doesn't just sit there in the pan it's all around the engine and removing half of it could easily starve high demand areas and result in engine damage, even not corner carving or racing.

    Engine Coyote 5.0 Engine Issues

    4 quarts low is enough to cause oil starvation, even with an an 8 quart sump. These suckers eat oil like mad when fresh, and tighten up with some miles on them. Mine used about 3 quarts in the first few thousand miles. Changed out the factory fill, (such as it was since I'd been adding so much)...

    Suspension Confused--'track Pack' Vs 'brembo Brake Pkg'

    Relax mate, you still get Brembo specific springs with your BBP. The "55d springs" everyone talks about are just a name for an aftermarket rear lowering spring made by Andy Marocco at Brembo5.0.com. They are great, btw, for reducing the rear fender gap. And no, 3.73 doesn't come with BBP...

    Procal Tune

    I will put the Procal against any other 91 octane tune. It's apples to oranges comparing this to a 93 or race tune. My car is trapping right around 114 mph on the Procal, so far. I will put that up against any 91 tune and alot of 93 tunes. On the street, this tune is great. Lots of low end...

    Drivetrain Short Throw Shifter !

    be aware Barton, MGW and probably Hurst, too, will significantly increase cabin noise on the car. I recommend you try out the stock shifter first, if no-likey, buy a no-noise bracket like Steeda's red bushing one and change out the knob for a nice pool-ball job. You might be surprised how good...

    No power gained with the K&N over the paper and increased risk of MAF fouling from the oilplus reduced filtering.

    Digital Tuning Ford Power Pack V K&n Cai

    The procal tune is a fun road tune. You're aren't really gaining much peak power but, it makes the engine feel much more lively, less laggy on the throttle response and generally more fun to drive. Big torque boost down low helps non-3.73 cars alot. It also boosts fuel mileage quite markedly. I...

    Resale Value

    Nope, my former Mazdaspeed 3 was worst trade in value ever. car 36K off the lot, taxes in, 2008. By 2010-11, looking at a 13.5 k trade-in value. Thankfully, I bought mine lightly used after one year for about 30 taxes in but still. I negotiated a bit higher than that at the end of 2011 for my...

    6 Spd: What Am I Doing Wrong?

    No the worst...SROD, RAD...lots of better candidates for worst. This thing...well, if it holds together for you, it's a pretty good box. A shift bracket and a fluid change pretty much solves its issues. It's certainly strong enough rated for the application. If you have one of the ones with the...
