    Should I get a trackpack installed, and which?

    I had the same dilemna with my 04 5-spd. 3.73 not enough, but didn't want to sit and spin in 4.10s or worry about the highway rpms so I went 3.90s. 3.90s are more than fine on the highway. Also wouldn't be as harsh as 4.10s if I ever change my mind and decide to go supercharger. I went with...

    Ordering New Shelby Questions

    The Super snake hood shows up on the Shelby auto parts catalog online for $1099. Its very similar to the KR, but like others stated, doubt it fits the 2010. I'm thinking about a GT500 myself and adding a few Super snake touches like the hood and wheels.

    2010 Camaro

    I'll start off by saying I'm not a chevy/camaro hater. I really like the Corvette. I've seen the Camaro several times in person, and feel its too tall, just like the Challenger. The side panels are just huge. The front end of the Camaro is too tall too, looks like it belongs on a 80s...

    New 5.0 info

    340hp is probably just a starting point. Mustang's been doing this for a while now. 4.6l started at 220hp, went to 260, Mach 1 had over 300 NA. I'd expect the same from a 5.0. They probably have it detuned, could probably get it to 400hp at the crank with typical boltons/tune. With...

    2010 GT getting 400 hp or not?

    The Ford guys at the DC Auto Show were telling the crowd about it, called it a Stage 1 and Stage 2 upgrade. Something like 440hp for stage 1 and 500 for 2. Didn't mention price. I told the guy, damn that will take out a shelby. He's like, the Shelby has 540hp. I'm like, its also got an...

    radar detector recommendations - built in?

    Depends on your budget. Go to radarbusters.com and read up, its a real informative site. They review each radar detector and give reports and star ratings. I was looking for a decent one without spending $400. After much research, I went with the Whistler XTR-690. I got it for about $120...

    Question about the NEW Mustang

    Saleen is already putting the 3v 302 in its Parnelli Jones and now its H302. It makes 390hp. I believe they just bored out the 4.6. Hopefully Ford will follow their lead.

    American Muscle Issue

    I had a box missing a part from AM once. Instead of calling them, I went straight to the source, called the manufacturer of the part, and they made it right. Even threw in a t-shirt for the trouble. I've had good dealings with AM and wouldn't hesitate going back again. I say next time, try...

    Should I wait for it to fail???

    Could also be a dirty injector? If you haven't already, run some injector fluid cleaner through it before going for COPs. Maybe Seafoam.

    How to get a LOW mortgage rate??? Help?

    600 a month on a 200K house? Sounds like an interest only loan. I guess there are all types, but by only paying the interest, you are doing nothing to actually pay off the loan. Some loans will give you low interest rate for 5 years for those with marginal credit and then the rate bumps up a...

    Bore out TB?

    I appreciate your further explanation. I enjoy tinkering with cars, so if its very little or no gain, it doesn't bother me cause I enjoyed doing it. TB also needed a cleaning. At a minimum, if reducing the shaft did very little, at least the screws were taken out of the airstream. You can't...

    Bore out TB?

    Yes I did reapply threadlock. Unfortunately I didn't take aerodynamics or thermodynamics in college. If you know the theory I'd like to know, cause to me its not making logical sense. You agreed that if you make the shaft larger, it will impede airflow, but you say by reducing its size...

    Bore out TB?

    Thanks for the vote of confidence guys. Of course I noticed the thread locker. Its not like I'm playing with a Ford GT, GT500 with a whole lot at stake. 01Steed, I call bull****. Just because the blade is at an angle doesn't mean the shaft doesn't impede airflow unless the angle is...

    Bore out TB?

    I know I'm bringing this back from the grave, but I didn't see anyone mention the screws that stick out of the tb shaft. The two screws that hold the blade to the shaft on mine were way out into the airflow probably causing turbulence too. I cut those down and put them back in and also took...

    Oil filter splitting on early 4.6

    They aren't cheap, but you could buy a K&N. They can handle higher pressures.

    Humor while pumping gas?

    I witnessed a lady in a Geo Tracker pull away with the pump still in the tank! She then stopped in the middle of the road with a gas pump handle and part of the hose sticking out of the vehicle. I was rolling.

    2008 Shelby GT500KR

    competition There is not enough competition in the market right now for dealers to not mark up their special edition vehicles. I think once the Challenger and Camaro come out, prices will not be so crazy anymore. Ford holding off on a Boss until the Camaro and Challenger come out are...

    i installed 3.90s and have problems, need answeres

    My 3.90s make some noise, but my dad can't hear it. I gotta have the stereo off, windows closed to hear it. I'm sure the aftermarket shifter allows more noise than normal as well.
