    2014 Mustang 5.0 Automatic

    manual mode...hold the gear you want and hammer his azz flat. Easy, just don't forget to upshift. The auto is actually pretty tough to beat on the road if you have your :poo: together.

    Engine Brembo Package Gt Choking!!

    Why are you warming it up, shutting it off and starting it again? Just get in it and drive it. I encountered this situation on my 2012 twice. Start the car, run it for a short while shut it off and restart produced a cloud of smoke as the engine tried to swallow a big slug of fuel. It would idle...

    Mickey Thompson Et Drag Slicks - With Tubes??

    You don't need them. Use screw in valve stems and coat the inside of the tire in plain dish soap, it'll help it seal and mount. Don't even really need to balance them as they change shape all the time anyway but sally forth if you wish.

    Roush Axle-back Mufflers??

    Yer right. I know I'll go FI at some point here and it's easy to make a relatively quiet muffler noisier when you do that but, you can't go back the other way. The GT500s tend to get a little louder as they age but the quality of the sound is magical.

    Roush Axle-back Mufflers??

    That's what they sound like and that's why I didn't buy them. GT500s for the win. I am 50 and I don't need to blow my own horn so loud anymore.

    Car Got Water In It !!

    You should be fine. The Smart Junction Box is high up in the kick panel on the passenger side. There are a few wires in the floor for stuff like power seats and such but, nothing mission-critical. Your big concern will be mould growth from the wet carpet but, if you get at it quick, you should...

    2014 Mustang Gt Supercharged Changing Pulls Size

    The meth is going to require supporting mods like a BAP at least, maybe more injector depending on what's in there. You add a pulley change, that's going to add more need. How do you like the EB supercharger? I find it an attractive choice because of the low rpm grunt promised. Does it deliver...

    Wheels And Traction

    Yeah, I figured you were talking to him anyway, nbd. I've never been able to get a Fox to hook up with any tire, any power adder, on the stock suspension and I had two of the things. :) Drs are the only option here that's in any way realistic but, their capability isn't to be overestimated...

    Wheels And Traction

    Hmmm, you hardly see the difference in an IRS v. a live axle? Ya think maybe Ford is on to something with that totally different independent rear suspension in your S550? Too many factors here to make a blanket statement either way, I'll give you that but, I'd bet I'll be right more than wrong...

    Wheels And Traction

    I drive to the track 30+ miles one way on non-DOT drag slicks. It is fine if you take it reasonably. I don't even air them up. If you go DR, you may end up picking up pieces of the driveline at the track, which is a little less convenient than swapping rubber there.

    Wheels And Traction

    For running at the track on a manual, just don't :leghump: about and get a bias ply drag slick. If you are 3.73, get a 28X10" tire, anything under that, get a 26".

    Advancetrac Sport Mode Concern

    I didn't encounter these issues with my 2012 BBP. I never had the TCSC turn itself back on when I had turned it off. I did put a manual switch inline with the 5 amp check circuit in the smart junction box. This allowed me to totally depower all the nannies at the racetrack, which was simpler...

    Advancetrac Sport Mode Concern

    But....umm...can't you set the steering feel separately from the sport setting? I can on my 2014. It is auto and BBP though. On my old 2012 BBP, it would set the steering feel to sport in sport mode and I couldn't change it.

    Mustang Gt 05 Throttle Body

    You can't go cable. The computer needs those TB inputs to run the engine. Check the connector at the TB make sure all the wires have continuity and there are no bent or dirty pins. Did you disconnect the TB when you put the CAI on? You might just reinstall the stock airbox and see if the...

    What The Heck Is This Gismo???

    That's your sound tube. Ford pipes some intake noise into the cabin through this to make the quiet muffler sound a little more aggressive. You can safely pull and cap it if you don't like it.

    Rear-ended Someone In My 2006 V6 Manual Transmission Mustang, Totaled?

    I'd say the insurance company would have to really think on it. You don't mention the mileage on the car but, these cars are a dime a dozen so residual value is very low, it's ten years old, it isn't a premium model and the frame my well be tweaked since you can't open the door. Sorry, but, were...

    Aftermarket Tuners And Tuning??

    In house canned tune, using their own proprietary Procal tuner box. I didn't go that way with my new 14, be they wanted too much to send me the tune for the new car and I had future mods in mind, needing a widely used tuner from the aftermarket.

    Aftermarket Tuners And Tuning??

    Gotta correct your misconceptions here. The 6R80 autos of today are no comparison to the outdated junk in the Marauder. They are fantastic and need little to be better. I'll tell you this much: A mild 91 octane tune from FRPP and no other mods drove my 2012 MT82 car into the 11s at 115 mph...

    Aftermarket Tuners And Tuning??

    There are thousands of tuners out there. Look around and seee what people report on the forums and try to match your expectations with theres. Bama just has a good marketing dept but that doesn't make their stuff better or worse in real terms. Lifetime tunes is waste on most people because...

    Wheels And Traction

    If you think you'll ever get dead hook on the street that's a pipe dream, given how much tire you can realistically fit back there and the condition of road pavement. These cars can overwhelm any tire on road surfaces, even at stock power levels. Some power adder folks use a drag radial, just to...
