    No More Wheel Hop?

    I recently installed a BBK CAI w/Brenspeed SCT tune and decided to put it to the test................... I started from a dead stop and launched it (traction control off). Much to my surprise there was NO wheel hop - just screeching tires and a quick redline of the engine (6,200 before I knew...

    BBK w/Brenspeed SCT Installed!

    Don't know why I didn't think of doing this the first time around............. simply put the adjustment screw part of the clamps underneath!! Duh.................

    BBK w/Brenspeed SCT Installed!

    Only while working............. just kidding :rlaugh: No whistling sound. It sounds normal to me - kind of like a big Holley 4 barrel getting romped. I had a JLT on my '05 and it sounded about the same. Of course it is louder than the stock intake system. The only time I really hear it is...

    18X10 Vs 18X9

    I have 18X9 Cragar S/S +36 O/S with Nitto 555 Extreme 255/45/18 on all 4 and I think it looks just right - pretty much even with the outside of the fender, however this is a function of the offset. A +36 offset wheel makes the tires about even with the fender well. This combination also...

    BBK w/Brenspeed SCT Installed!

    Installed my BBK with Brenspeed tune (87 octane loaded for the moment). In a word...... EXCELLENT!!!!! You will be happy - much better throttle response and a definite "feel" of the increased power. Two comments on the BBK - 1) It's a bit of a stretch to connect the breather tube - a little more...

    '05 Transmission problems

    I had this noise, installed the missing bolts and it went away. However, now I notice when the engine is cold I hear a buzz or rattle when I accelerate and reach about 2500 - 3000 RPM - sort of sounds like an exhaust heat shield rattle or something. It stops when I go beyond that RPM range...

    4.10 gears

    At 80 MPH in 5th gear, your just a hair over 2700 RPMs vs. about 2400 with stock 2.55s. I checked mileage under the following conditions: mostly in-town, some highway, air conditioner on about 40% of the time. I'm not light-footed and got 19 MPG with 93 octane. Check my signature for mods. I...

    JLT CAI customers, please read...

    I called Jay to get the fix and he sent the package right away. Since buying my CAI from Jay, I've had a few general questions/comments and he has provided outstanding customer support. Also, Jay's tuner, Brent at DTP Racing provides great customer service. Jay, thanks for backing your...

    4.10's ?

    I had my 4.10s installed Saturday. Wow - I'm impressed! The car really pulls nice through all the gears and off-the-line performance is awesome. Also they do away with that lugging feeling in 4th at lower RPMs and when you shift into 5th it doesn't feel like you've gone into overdrive...

    4.10's ?

    I'm having 4.10s installed this week along with a Steeda tri-ax shifter. I'll post my thoughts after the install.

    tire choice!

    I'm going with Nitto 555 Extremes - 255/45/18. Good price, good performance and looks.

    AM THNDER axle back Vs Magnaflow

    I agree - sound clips can be misleading. I've had the Flows installed for a little over a week too and I think they're awesome - they sound and of course look much better. They really sound good when decelerating and when starting off, but still behave well while cruising. Overall, they're...

    Let's see all of those wheels again!

    Wayne's Wheels has them - 18X9. http://adaptivestrategies.com/OECREATIONS2005.html See 1119S. The 18s aren't listed but I called and they have them in stock - $799 for the set.

    New Flowmasters sound nice!

    I hear what you're saying (no pun intended). FWIW - I installed these and there is a difference. I think they sound better. They also look much better. IMO recordings can be affected by many things such as the recording equipment, the speakers you're listening with and surrounding conditions...

    Hydracarbon Trap Removal

    From the research I've done, you should re-tune for best results. Here are a couple good reads. http://www.modulardepot.com/?show=articlesdet&aid=52 http://www.alternativeauto.com/prodserv/05mustang_tune.html Enjoy and congrats on the new ride! Tom

    Cold air intake

    Here are a couple good reads. K&N has a replacement filter but not a CAI (yet). http://www.alternativeauto.com/prodserv/05mustang_tune.html http://www.modulardepot.com/?show=articlesdet&aid=52
