    Hydracarbon Trap Removal

    Hello! Is anyone listening? I am NOT BENCH racing here. I am giving you results from an ACTUAL A/F reading. Remove the HC Trap if you want but you better keep it handy so when you blow your engine from running lean you can put it back in and tell the dealership it was never out! All of...

    3:73 gears, what do you think about this?

    Someone used MPG as an excuse NOT to get 4.10's but I drove 500 miles with 3.55's in my Mach 1 and got 24.1 MPG and with the 4.10's (the same exact route) got 24.5. MPG is not an excuse because it actually can improve your gas mileage just like mine (maybe not in the city but definitely on the...

    Hydracarbon Trap Removal

    The car is my wife's car (the one in the Modular Depot article). The removal of the trap made larger than expected gains 9+ rwhp over completely stock, I think) when it was tuned. You definitely need to tune ANY intake mod. It ran extremely LEAN with ANY intake mod.

    Photochop I did. (next Cobra/Boss daydreaming)

    I agree! I would like to see that one.

    3:73 gears, what do you think about this?

    Not sure. I know the Manual comes with 3.55 so with the auto tranny generating more LOSS, I would suspect that they would come with the 3.55's as well. Can anyone with an auto confirm/refute this?

    3:73 gears, what do you think about this?

    3.73's are a waste of money. You are already starting at 3.55's. that is only a 5% change. To really feel anything, you will need to go 10% or higher. The reason that there are so many that say 3.73's are great is because they probably started out with 3.27 gears (a la the 04 down Mustangs -...

    Compatibility error ???

    Isn't "compatability issues" when you order something wrong - not that it is unavailable. I think it is when you order some stupid (trying to have a unique car) combination like Legend Lime Green with Red Interior Accent Package. That is my guess.

    05 Dyno / Product Testing

    Air/Fuel ratios got CRAZY after the intake mod. It was so bad a run was aborted. It took adding a huge percentage more of fuel to get it back down. It was over 15+ so I think tuning is VERY IMPORTANT with mods.

    05 Dyno / Product Testing

    If you do the math this way... 300 bhp *0.85 (15% loss) then you get 255 rwhp.

    05 Dyno / Product Testing

    Manual. Before anyone jumps up and says - man 255 is low - think about the fact that this is not the first 05 to dyno 255 (which is more of the norm). Those who say that they dynoing 280+ STOCK are liars. "Oops, I forgot to mention that we tuned it and took out the HC trap" is no excuse for...

    SCT Tune / Dyno #2 Results

    Ken dynoed mine (wife's) stock and it put down 255.4 STOCK on the first run. If you do the math: 255 (RWHP) / 300 (bhp - from Ford) you get 0.85 which should be about what the drivetrain loss would be. With that same figure (15% loss) the resulting 283 rwhp would equal 332.9 bhp.

    Hydrocarbon trap removal, dyno results.

    KenB tuned my (wife's) car and it was some pretty decent testing. Ken put in several hours doing this and the data gained from the testing is enormous in my opinion. Lost of things different that are worthy to note.

    2005 Mustang GT on the dyno

    The dyno of the Magnaflow C/B that we did this weekend revealed a Whopping 0.5 hp increase. Like many have said before... you are not going to get much gains from a cat-back on the '05s. The pipes are mandrel bent and are not that restrictive. The cat-back exhaust is more of a...
