    Window tint scratches!

    Why not use a box cutter and carefully remove enough of the seal so it does not touch the window or scratch the tint. I can't imagine enough trash getting past a small opening to hurt anything on the inside of the window.

    Deluxe vs. Premium

    I have an 06 Deluxe with leather seats. They are a $695 add-on. The only thing I don't have that the Premimum has is the Shaker 500 radio. I did not want the Shaker. The standard radio is a whole lot better than radios in cars I have owned in the past. And why add the additional weight...

    POWERHOUSE driveshaft

    As best I can tell from pics of the aluminum and carbon fiber shafts it appears the end yokes/flanges and adaptors are aluminum with the aluminum shafts but with the carbon fiber they appear to be steel. This might be the the reason the CF is heavier.

    POWERHOUSE driveshaft

    Hopefully Ford Racing will come out with one soon that won't be a price gouger.

    Saleen S/C arrives!!

    Thanks... My LS1 is one that did an 11.9? with the factory cam way back. I bought it new in 9/98 and probably went that 11 in fall of 99. I have a PI 3600 converter.

    Saleen S/C arrives!!

    Didn't say it was not lightened up. My race weight was 2920# when I ran a 10.778 @ 122.64 mph, 1.444 60'. It is n/a! "12.79", an almost stock LS1 can run that with tires, the right gear and DA. My almost stock (just a Pulley) 06 stang ran a 13.42 in not great air. Almost LS1 territory.

    Saleen S/C arrives!!

    Do let us know what it runs when you get back from the track. Will be insteresting. Yes, my Camaro is modified but I do still have the factory items I mentioned and run 10s n/a. Even factory throttle body, stock 3.23 gearing and stock block. Have never had it dynoed. I have factory...

    Saleen S/C arrives!!

    Nice! Would sure be fun having one on my 06. But then after all that money it still wouldn't beat my n/a 98 LS1 Camaro with factory mass air, factory intake, factory heads, etc...

    Experience with one-piece driveshafts?

    If these shafts were made from 7075 aluminum they could be the same size as the steel. They would be even lighter than the curent 4" diameter aluminum shafts. The price companies are charging they should be made from 7075. It is a more expensive aluminum but as strong as most steels.

    hanging idle

    Here's the fix but you have to use an SCT Pro Package to do this. I sure like mine much better after making this change. In Advantage to go "Idle, Idle_speed_RPM_adder_for ECT" Zero out 20.000000 through 120.000000 under ECT. Also go to "Idle_speed_RPM-adder_for_ECT_at_start up" Zero...

    Front Seats and rear passengers

    Mine does the same thing. I guess we could pile em on top of each other in the front seat!

    My conclusion on mods, please review

    Good info! Thanks. From what others have said the elimination of plates doesn't do much. Looks like they just may.

    My conclusion on mods, please review

    Do you have any track or dyno numbers for the two?

    Installed JLT CAI

    I went from a 13.42 @ 101.80 mph to a 13.151 @ 102.98 mph with the JLT and tuning. It was 10 degrees cooler however but still a nice gain. Not sure I would say a couple tenths changes it into a beast though. I have since taken the JLT off. Just can't get used to the looks.

    Wicked Wheel Hop

    If you want to save a little money these will do the job along with good rear shocks: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PERF-LOWER-CONTROL-ARMS-2005-2006-FORD-MUSTANG-GT-V6_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33583QQitemZ8064601264

    06 gt in the 11s

    It's going to take weight reduction, cam and ported heads along with a lot of bolt ons. What is "mostly motor". If that means a little nitrous then it will be a whole lot easier.

    Which gears for my 05?

    What stall did they test? I bet it wasn't a 4000 or they would have gained another .2-.3 gain.

    Which gears for my 05?

    A loose converter acts somewhat like a gear. Have you seen dyno numbers with stalls. My 88 Mustang that ran 10s (see signature) dynoed only 360hp but with 530 pounds of torque. Now that's getting the torque to the ground. Can't do that with a gear! Nearly all real racers run automatics...

    Which gears for my 05?

    Put a PI 3600 stall in that pony and you won't need lower gearing. No gear will give you the performance gain that a properly sized converter will. I have a PI 3600 in my 98 Camaro with 3.23 gearing. Run 10s with 1.4 60' times. A friend tried 3.73 gearing with the 3600 in his Formula...
