    New found Power

    That's the thing with these CAI's...it gets expensive b/c you need a tune but then again you can get some really good power. I got 299 rwhp / 323 rwtq with JLT CAI, custom SCT tune and Bassani exhaust. Here is a thread with my dyno video and graph...

    Tune question

    Run it until low then fill it with 93 and tune whenever you want after that. You do not need to tune right at the gas station. You can't harm anything running a higher octane than the tune. The only way you would have a problem would be running a LOWER octane than the tune. Good luck!

    2005 Mustang GT DYNO 435 RWHP

    Very nice power numbers. I just wonder how long that engine will last on 8-10 psi with all stock internals. I know a good tune helps but b/c of the damn emissions codes these engines were built too they don't seem to handle too much boost for too long. I heard a guy on another forum saying he...

    Curious, How many miles do you have now?

    I put my '05 away for the winter back in November with 8100 miles on her. It's my daily driver during the summer. I can't wait until March...darn NY winters.

    05 body in white!

    In order to buy a body in white...(they are very limited) you need to show racing credentials. "Now, Ford Racing has been able to procure a limited number of these bodies from the production line for off-road use only. Racing credentials and history will be verified prior to sale (non-VIN...

    challenger dead?

    Jeep is doubling it's offerings? I haven't heard anything about that. I know they have the commander but doubling it's offerings would be like 4 more Jeeps. I haven't heard anything about that.

    cold air kits??

    The word on the K&N is that yes, it is more restictive than other CAIs so it does not need a tune nor does it produce as much HP. I have heard that with the K&N you need to take the HC trap out of your stock air box and put it in the K&N. That restricts the flow enough that you don't need a...

    Pulled engine and trans last night...PICS

    What is the best way to fill the holes? I would asume welding some thin sheet metal and then grinding it down smooth.

    challenger dead?

    They wouldn't make a prototype if there was no plans to make one. He is probably just buying time so they won't have to answer a million questions. I am sure there will be a Challenger around 2010. How much it will look like that prototype though I guess no one knows.

    New 2006 MUSTANG GT

    I would also skip on the 20's. They just add too much unsprung weight. 18's is the highest I would go. Also, if you are going to be switching b/w the 20s and the 17s make sure to adjust for the change using your XCal2 or your speedo will be off. All you need to know is the revolutions per...

    2006 exhaust

    Unfortunatly in states that check...i.e. NY, CA etc you need to have some cats to pass inspection. That said, removing the stock cats is definatly beneficial. I removed the stock cats and replaced them with Bassani's comp cats. Here is a picture I took of the difference between the two...

    Pulling engine and trans need advise

    Thanks for the advise. The reason I took all that off was b/c I am going to be replacing most things anyway. I am not sure if I am going to rebuild this engine or put a crate engine in so I took the accessories off for the heck of it. As far as the gas tank goes, I took it off b/c I think I...

    I plan on putting in a C4. Would the same crossbrace fit?

    Pulled engine and trans last night...PICS

    You can say that again. I plan on putting a wire wheel on an angle grinder to make it a little easier to remove some of that surface rust. Either way it is going to take some time.

    cold air kits??

    Almost all require a tune. Without a tune the car goes way lean. The K&N one does not require a tune so if you are definatly against the tune go with that one. Otherwise what I did is just save up for a few mods that need a tune and then install them all at once and tune at one time. This...

    Cost of a Dyno Tune -

    Sounds a little bit expensive. I paid $500 for a dyno tune on my '05 GT and that price included the SCT XCal tuner which is $375 by itself. So the tune itself only cost me $125. However, you tune an '05 and a '88 differently so the cost might be different.

    Pulled engine and trans last night...PICS

    Well I finally pulled the engine and transmission out of my '91 LX last night. It came out pretty smoothly. I couldn't believe how rusted out the transmission crossbrace was :nonono: . Anyway, here are the pics and some more info...
