    Automatics with gears?

    I live and work in a metroplex. The freeways inside the metroplex are posted 60 mph. 4.10s on an auto is comfortable at 60. If I drove 70-75 a lot (like over an hour a day), I don't think I would get 4.10s.

    Who has installed a brake kit from BuyFordRacing.com?

    I had no leak issues with the StangSuspension brand stainless steel brake lines. http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=694003 If yours are leaking after you cranked them down hard, it sounds like you might not have the right parts. :shrug:

    True or False -- Tuning questions..

    Yes and no on both. You can advance timing to increase efficiency up to a certain point. After that, you lose. Same with leaning it out. The factory settings are pretty conservative so they don't get warranty work up the ass from people running into problems. Each individual car can be optimized...

    Auto Crossed for first time!

    Autocrossing will ruin your taste for drag racing. You don't need to dump money into your car to improve in autocross. A stock Mustang will do. Seat time will get your times down. Driver skill and experience means so much more. Later, you can consider sticky tires all around. With drag...

    Automatic and Xcal2

    My current transmission shift schedule. My current converter lock/unlock schedule. I have 4.10s. Adjust to suit your taste.

    Automatic and Xcal2

    The beauty of Extreme Tune is that you do the adjustments to match your driving style. After I did my initial shift points, I would tweak it every now and then. It probably took me almost a year to get them to where it shifts right every time. I've posted this on SCTFlash's forum and others used...

    Automatic and Xcal2

    If you get the XTR files with your Xcal, you can do just about anything to the shift points using Extreme Tune. I wasn't happy with the stock shift schedule either and have done a lot to mine. You can raise or lower each shift point using a graph. It maps a MPH to Throttle Position. You can also...

    I think RDRB8 or RADARB8 would be badass.

    Ive got a question for xcal2 owners

    Sounds like you answered you question already. As with any timing advance device, advance it until you hear pinging then back off a little.

    Benefits to tuning a stock GT?

    Good catch! I missed that.

    Benefits to tuning a stock GT?

    You'll gain from the timing advance and leaner WOT fuel, at least. You'll also be set up for gears and off-road midpipe later. When you do those, you won't need a SpeedCal or MILs.

    bad idler pulley

    When the one in my Ford Ranger went out, it sounded like grinding. Like the cooling fan was metal and was missing a blade and it was hitting something. With the engine running, my mechanic friend pushed on the idler pulleys one at a time with a screwdriver blade until he found the one that was...

    Alright, lets talk about subframe connectors

    Agreed. And due to these loose tolerances, you can't reliably say one brand can be made to fit better than the other. Any set of SFCs, regardless of brand will need some amount of fitting by a competent welder. That's a key point someone shopping for SFC's will have to realize. Psst! I've had...
