    SCT X Cal 2?

    I'm thinking of picking up a X Cal 2 so that when I do get gears I won't have to pay $70-$80 for a Speedcal and when I get my O/R Mid Pipe I won't have to pay $50-$60 for MIL elminators. Now here's my question, what kind of gains can I see with a tune off the X Cal without switching to a...

    Looks like I'm in the minority - MGW shifter isn't for me

    I just installed my MGW last night and I LOVE it as well. Shorter then the Tri-Ax and no noise at all.

    finally put longtubes on

    How much do the LTs and matching O/R X go for?

    TKO or T-56 people people get in here

    Can't you pick up a beefed up T-45 or T-3650 for around $1,200-$1,500? I remember hearing this on another board. I'll have to ask around cause I know a guy whose pushing 400 at the wheels on his GT and just broke his 3650 and I remember him talking about getting a replacement that was good for...

    well sorry guys, the 5.4 3v worked out

    Sweet deal. I'd love to have a 5.4 3v in my 2001 GT. Keep us posted with pics.

    waste of money?

    I'd say it's worth every bit of $400. You're looking at a 50 hp gain. Shoot port those heads while you have them off if you can and pick up some more power.

    Just installed the MGW Shifter, *WOW* what a difference

    I don't dislike the stoc one on my 3650, but I've already bought a MGW. I enjoyed my Tri Ax that I had on my old car, but the MGW appears to be better. We'll see. It should be here before the week is out. Glad you like yours.

    Dyno'd my car. WTF?

    Yeah, the whole keeping it in 3rd is your main problem. You do also need a tune. Get it dyno tuned at another place that knows what they're doing.

    I need your opinion before i spend over 10K on parts! :P

    Exactly what I was going to say. If I'm spending 7-10k on my GT I better make way over 300 rwhp. Do a forged shortblock and a KB. You won't be upset.

    what type of rwhp have you guys picked up with l/t?

    Wow 20 rwhp for some LTs and a Prochamber. Sounds like I'll be doing those after my 4.10s.

    Question about starting...

    I wiring to it looks fine. I'm assuming it works as my car starts up fine most of the time. How can I tell if there's a problem with it?

    Question about starting...

    Well last night the car wouldn't start for a good 5 minutes. I turned the key, let it crank a few times, nothing. Tried it again, nothing. Gave it some gas while it cranked and the engine reved up but once the rpms came back down, nothing. It would not idle. I let it sit for a minute or two and...

    fold up mirrors

    I got mine for 130 ish plus shipping. I'll find the site I bought them from. You do have to get them painted. They are much nicer than the traditional stock plastic ones.

    Alright so is the tuner of choice the Xcal 2? I know it was when I on V6s when I owned one.

    What results will I see with a tuner? I really don't want to put premium in my car and I know some tunes require this. Could I still see good gains without upping the octane?

    Good starting mods...

    Yeah I don't want to mod it too much, just a bit to get a little more kick out of it. Is a drop in K&N the general rule of thumb on induction?

    Question about starting...

    49,000 miles sometime I have to crank it twice. Most of the time it will hesitate for a bit then slowly start up.

    Also, do GTs come with stock bolt in subframe connectors? My 2001 Bullitt has them and I wanted to know if that was normal.

    Good starting mods...

    What are some good first mods for the 4.6l Mustangs. I heard an offroad X and Steeda Timing Adjuster really helps. I was going to pick up a Short Thorw anyways (looking at MGW) and I've also heard good things about JLT CAIs and 4:10s.
