    300hp Camaro....V6

    Yep, someone is always gonna be faster. The new Camaro looks allright, I guess; I just wonder who the blind, delusional clown was who designed and approved the radio/climate control stack? That thing looks like someones' nightmare. Also, I wonder where the V6 will be priced at? The appeal...

    GT500KR underrated? 5.0 Mustang dyno tests the King of the Road

    Eh, dynos can lie too. And dyno operators can be incompetent. Aside from tuning, dynos are most useful for bench racing and producing nice little graphs.

    Great experience with Doug(Bamachips)!

    USB connection x-cal to PC, SCT software on PC pushes tune to handheld. have no idea if it works on mac.

    Great experience with Doug(Bamachips)!

    Why did it freeze 54% into uploading the stock tune and what did you & Doug do to resolve the problem? Ordered the 3 tune refill for my x-cal 3 from BamaChips (currently Brenspeed but for $115 bucks figr'd it be good to try the Bama tunes just for fun) last week and the tunes were in my e-mail...

    has anyone track tested the difference between bamachip and brenspeed?

    It'll be interesting to see the difference; I got the Brenspeed C&L/X-Cal3 combo with their 3 tunes (currently running the 93 Octane Brenspeed) on 5/27 and last week just for the heck of it I ordered the 93 Race and 93 Torque from Bamachips (and 87 performance; how can you beat a 3-tune package...

    A few questions about a CAI & tune...

    I asked for the X-Cal 3 from Brenspeed and they sent it to me.

    Thermostats

    Interesting as I was pondering the exact same thing. In the LSx world, thermostats/fan reprogramming is one of the generally accepted items that is done to nearly all.

    CORROSION!!!

    First thing I thought of when I get the new Mustang home was "Boy, that hood lip sure looks like it'd be a place for rust to start" Had a 1976 Plymouth Arrow (hey, that thing ran 19's@63mph!) w/ similar designed hood lip, rusted all the time. Of course, that was back when just looking at a...

    Best Bolt on HP gains?

    More economical to do headers+h/x-pipe/mid-pipe as a system I would think.

    Car Cleaning Supplies?

    I'm pretty lazy so I use Zaino cuz it's durable as all hell. Very easy to apply/use/remove, fantastic shine, long lasting. Can only get it online at zainostore.com. Looks a bit pricey at first, but I can do the entire mustang or vette w/ one coat using about an ounce of the stuff. Added benefit...

    Do all 4.6 3V's give that kick at about 35-4000rpm?

    Very interesting info; thanks for the replies. It would be nice if car had a more 'linear' pull to it but such is life. Still a blast, I actually prefer driving this car to the Vette; the Mustang seems more 'go cart-ish' in size.

    Quarter window scoops pics

    Incredible looking car :nice: Those are the only side window mod I like, don't look 'stuck on'. Great color as well. If I wasn't so strangely fixated on having all black cars, I'd have that blue.

    Opinion on exterior mods

    Me, I'm a minimalist. I'd lose the yellow foglights as well and then not add another thing. Then again, I drove 500 miles to get a new 2008 w/ absolutely *no* options and *no* spoiler. If it doesn't make it faster or more fun to drive, I'm not spending $$ on it. But I'm kinda the exception I...

    what next?

    I did the CAI/SCT X-cal thing as well. Next on the list is FRPP 3.73's (I got a 5-speed w/ 3.31's) and MGW shifter. I pondered 4.10's but think I may then get into traction problems and I really don't wanna start getting into the suspension that much to control the traction better. Car is a...

    Exhaust for GT 08

    I went w/ Bassani #46075. I tend to think it's low, throaty yet not too obnoxious.

    Do all 4.6 3V's give that kick at about 35-4000rpm?

    I noticed it in a lesser way before the C&L/Brenspeed tune but it's really almost like a switch is flipped at around 3500-4000rpm, really moving the car out. Our LS1 Vette has a smooth power curve at WOT; you can tell when it gets into the meat of the powerband but it's more smoothly linear. The...
