    sniper tuner v diablo predator?

    What's the SCT got over the Diablo Predator? Frankly I am still waiting on the Sniper and when it comes out will probably sell my Predator.

    diablosport predator? need help/advice

    A Cold Air Induction (CAI) system along with a tuner / tune - seems to have the best bang for the buck. There are some HP increases to be had by exhaust system upgrades but not as much as you might suspect. The thing to understand is the ECU for the 05-6 Stang is pretty finicky and not very...

    diablosport predator? need help/advice

    The Diablo Predator (like all the other tuning devices I'm aware of) Marries the ECU in your car. You will upload a tune to the ECU in the car and the Predator will store the original setup. If you need to go back to the dealer for something, you can upload the original configuration back to...

    Question about backseat usability

    I tried that and the map bounced back and landed on the console... Back-seat is worthless if the driver / passenger are taller than about 5'10"... I'm 6'3" and the seat is all the way back...

    in the shop with trans problems

    Mine get's a definate "NOTCH" in it when it is fully up to operating temp. It does go into 1st, but I have to slowly push it in. If I ham-fist it the trans will grind. I'm thinking that the hydraulic clutch needs to be bled so I will be taking care of that soon before I cause any harm..

    Noises, and other problems

    If you were really worried about your wife freaking out in a panic stop situation, you'd have opted for ABS brakes so she could at least STEER the car during that panic stop. While it's true that early ABS systems were rather crude and lacked responsiveness that would allow them to stop as...

    87/89/93 Octane

    Ski is exactly correct..... Every PING you hear actually takes a small bit of metal out of your pistons and/or combusiotn chambers and also shocks the rings up against the ring lands which will eventually fracture them...

    Dear Ford - - -

    If I wanted a lightweight racecar - I would have bought one... Hey - Wait a second - I DID!!!! :D It's called a Factory Five Roadster - the heart of a Mustang and the soul of a Cobra and it is an absolute BLAST to drive... So - you see - it's all about individual needs and...

    Dear Ford - - -

    Hey - If you guys don't want the options then don't buy them... I can't help but wonder why you would even consider an S197. With all those creature comforts like PS/PB/PW/AC... Not to mention safety things like side air bags (optional) front air bags, ABS, side intrusion beams in the...

    Dear Ford - - -

    Good idea... Dear Ford, Not all Mustangs are sold and see duty only in warmer climates. Please consider offering such items as heated seats and mirrors. And yes - possibly even coated defrosting windshields such as those offered in some of your other vehicles. I can think of a lot of other...

    AutoX'ing

    Make sure you don't put brakes on it that are not within the class you want to race / compete in. Actually the 2005+ Mustang brakes are essentially the same as the SN95 Cobra brakes. These are dual piston front brakes that were based on the PBR Caliper that was originally made for the C4...

    AutoX'ing

    I would make my decision based on which sanctioning body and class you intend on running in when you go "road racing" to determine what is legal... If you are going to be truly running wheel to wheel - start by gutting the interior and getting some 1-3/4" by .090 DOM steel tubing and bend up...

    Rear Axle Whine Survey

    All you have to do is bring it to the dealer with your complaint documented and include a copy of the TSB. If they dismiss your claim, it is documented that you had a problem at "x" miles on "y" date and were well within the limits of the warranty period. If you have a failure down the road...

    87/89/93 Octane

    Stock tune - 93 Octane made no difference in economy in either city or highway driving from 87 Octane. Now, the 89 Octane with 10% ethanol - it was different. I got roughly 10% worse economy. Must have been due to the lack of BTU content in alcohol vs. gasoline.. I'm sticking with 87 for now...

    sequential turn signals

    No Problems here.. I got mine from a seller on eBay for $45. Took about 45 minutes to install. They blink/flash at the same rate they used to. From inside the car - looking at the blinker on the dash - you can't tell they have been modified at all because the rate of flash is the same.
