    Gears Upgrade Question

    Hi all, I have an '06 GT auto that I want to upgrade to the 3.73 gears. On the American Muscle product page for these, they recommend that you also have your trac loc rebuilt. Just how neccesary is this? Also, my car is supercharged, so will it have to be re-tuned after this upgrade...

    Newbie question: Dead battery and charge

    Hi all, I managed to park my 2006 GT in the garage for a couple of months, with the trunk open (Just barely, so I didn't notice). Now my battery is flat. I have one of these Schumaker SSC-1000A speed chargers, but since I'm not all that comfortable under the hood of the car and the...

    Wheel spacers

    Hello, I got the 20" Shelby Razor wheels about a year ago, and they've been nothing but great. However, when I wanted to upgrade my brakes to the 14" Brembo kit (The one that costs about $1400.. i forgot the exact name for it), I found that offset was 1/2" off, and the brakes wouldn't fit...

    Anyone have this gauge pods set?

    That looks really good! Is that the autometer one? It looks a little taller than I expected. The gauges look really nice too!

    Anyone have this gauge pods set?

    I think the SOS ones look the most like stock when it comes to color, texture and quality. I'm a bit concerned about the Autometer ones being more "shiny" than stock, but I really prefer that look..

    Anyone have this gauge pods set?

    Hello, Does anyone have this Autometer "Triple Dash Pod" installed? http://rpmoutlet.com/propodss2.htm How is the quality? Does it look stock? Any pics? Thanks, Tom

    A good shop for upgrades in the Pacific NW

    Thanks everyone! Glad to see there's a few options here so close by. I've looked at Krazy Koncepts and just wanted some alternatives to them to compare to. Also, since I am in Bend, MDR Autosports is very interesting!

    A good shop for upgrades in the Pacific NW

    Hi all, I'm wanting to put in a supercharger, a suspension and a couple of other things on my 06 GT, and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on a good shop for those kinds of upgrades here in the Pacific NW. Locally I only have the Ford dealership, and they're pretty expensive...

    Need advice on upgrades for 06 GT

    Thanks, that helps a lot! Great looking car! Those wheels look just like mine (Shelby Razor 5 Gunmetal) and the color is the same! So your car looks great! :) How much lower did your car get? Tom

    Need advice on upgrades for 06 GT

    I'm not sure if I asked before, but does lower drop equal better handling? I don't want it dropped too low, but at the same time I need that good handling too. I assume struts and shocks are also needed with the kind of upgrades I want to do? So far I'm planning to get a suspension package...

    Need advice on upgrades for 06 GT

    The Saleen is on the top of my want list at the moment. I read that it has a bypass for low speeds, is this a common feature for superchargers? The only reason I'm a bit hesitant about the turbos is the lack of that instant torque, but that would probably be a good thing in the winters here...

    I have 255/40R20 tires, and I also have the CDC classic chin spoiler. Haven't scraped it yet.. :)

    Need advice on upgrades for 06 GT

    Thanks Hoboattacker, for writing up all that. That is VERY helpful! Well, the turbo info, isn't really helpful, since I now am curious about that too :) I do have 20s on my car so I guess the pro kit would be the way to go for me. Do you have any type of chin spoiler? I guess that's the...

    Need advice on upgrades for 06 GT

    Well, I'm more confused on what to do than ever before! :) The Saleen is very tempting as well as the Roush now. I'm also very impressed by Steedman07's 420 hp on his car. How is driving different on the other types of gears, such as the 4:10s? Does the shifting happen earlier or later...

    Need advice on upgrades for 06 GT

    Thanks everyone for your input! I have made some smaller mods so far. I have the MAC 2.5" Axleback Exhaust 4" Slashcut. I have a custom x-pipe from a local business here, and with my Cervinis KR concept hood, I have a functional ram air intake. I do agree that it might be a good idea to...

    Dealer made mistake with title... advice..

    Thanks guys! I will contact the lender tomorrow, just to make sure they're behind this. I just didn't want to sign anything I didn't quite understand and I thought it was a bit weird it took them this long to discover this. Tom

    Need advice on upgrades for 06 GT

    Thanks for your comments! I am by no means set on a specific type of supercharger yet. I've just seen a few comments and articles about the Roush s/c lately so that's why I mentioned that one. I also just learned that the hood I have's intake will only work with the factory airbox, and since...
