    New Car! Old one sold! Extra $2400!

    **** the intake/tb and pullies. they do nothing IMO, i had them at one time on my 02GT and removed them and felt no difference. get gears, tuner, shifter, exhaust (not much gains there but will sound sweet). work on suspension, rims+tires. IMO make the car fun to drive first, especially if its...

    how to destroy your t-3650

    same here, the Triax tells you not to use the shift stops on the 3650. however i used them on mine, i just adjusted them to where if you super-throw the shifter you get this nice ******* from the shifter base hitting the stop. no issues for 2 years, it was my first mod.

    Maybe this is a stupid question....but... do I have to run premium with my new mods?

    seeing you can run more timing and/or leaner fuel curves with 91 or 93 as compared to 87 octane, on a stock to bolt-on setup that can get you a few hp/tq across the entire spectrum. on a more serious setup it can do even more.

    Can a catless midpipe pass emissions on these cars?

    yeah you lucky other-staters. here in cali the original owner of the vehicle doesnt have to do smog or inspection for 6 years iirc, and can sell the vehicle/transfer title within 4 years and not required to smog/inspect it. however the next owner has to adhere to the 2 year rule, even if the car...

    failed inspection

    You not only fail at emissions, you fail at English. 1) put the stock midpipe back on. 2) reset ECU and drive for a few hours 3) pass test. you likely failed your OBDII readiness test due to the previously cleared CEL, and/or visual inspection as well. here in cali, first thing they do is look...

    Can a catless midpipe pass emissions on these cars?

    Pass Sniffer? Haha No. unless you have your factory cats in place, you will likely fail the sniffer. even with multiple high-flow converters, they are not good enough to work as well at filtering/scrubbing the emissions as stock equipment. aftermarket cats are more for not getting fined for...

    Trac Off Button

    IMO if you dont disable it in the tune, get into a habit of turning it off after you start the car. Ive found that trying to do something stupid and then TC engages, its more dangerous. one time i tried to get sideways turning from a stop, whipped the tail out before TC kicked in and the...

    Sold the GT

    i had it before and had to sell it due to being strapped for cash at the time. back then it had a 2.93" pulley, tune, intake and exhaust and i was pretty satisfied with its performance, and its got even more done to it now, so i doubt ill change anything, might save up for a ported blower and...

    Sold the GT

    lol that license plate never applied in the first place. he says mostly vette guys take the bait but mostly because they know with that plate, somethings done to it and they want to see whats up.

    UPS just dropped off my new TURBOS! ***PICS***

    the 57trims probably become inefficient if he were to turn up the boost, and start blowing heat which means he would either have to add fuel or pull timing to keep knock at bay. airflow makes the power. if he can get more airflow while keeping at the same pressure levels, he will make more...

    Sold the GT

    Finally. will be picking up a 03 Redfire Cobra saturday. the same one i sold about 9 months ago because i didnt want two mustangs at once (insurance ****ing rapes you in the ******* for them), and the GT wouldnt sell back then, but we hired a draftsman who loved what i did to the GT and had...

    I am SICK of people asking me how much my supercharger costed

    what the hell does that have to do with anything? if you think people asking about your car and mod costs is rude, DONT ****ING MOD CARS! find another hobby that nobody will care about. I love telling people what things cost, everyone thinks it takes so much money to mod cars, like youre going...

    Hood Choice 03 Cobra

    true, but as long as you are open about it being what it is i dont see a problem. i drive a Foush Faleen (roush kit, saleen wing) but everyone knows its just a GT and i dont upsell it as anything but a GT with looks.

    mac catback, offroad x or h?

    i have a Mac o/r X for sale. took it off for smog and havent put it back on, i like the musclecar rumble the H gives as opposed to the exotic tone the X gave me.

    Mustangs: an unofficial brotherhood?

    yeah but i wouldnt expect anything else from other cars, however its usually the other cars that give respect, not fellow stangs. case in point, saturday night i stopped by the store to pick up some soda for the night (monster+jager ftw). upon pulling out i got behind a white 05+ Saleen, so...

    5.0 badges on a 4.6 stroker?

    IMO the only people that would know the difference in the badging on a stang are the people that likely wouldnt be fooled into a false sense of security at a light. people that know the difference would instantly see the termi spoiler, fr500 rims and shaker hood (since it would be moving with...
