    Unresponsive Throttle

    my buddy is a mechanic at a ford dealer. they have issues with the throttle bodies on these cars. have it checked out. i think it is a 2106 code if the dealer scans the car. could be wrong on that number though

    Brenspeed dyno days

    cuz the horsepower you saw being measured is at the tires. car companies are rating the hp at the flywheel of the motor. having to spin the drivetrain eats up some of the power before it gets to the wheels

    Disappointed with tunes

    Disappointed with tunes

    i have had 2 sets of tunes emailed to me from bama custom tuning. the first ones made my car ping like hell. my second set of tunes seemed ok so i thought. the race tune seems alright but my 87 octane street tune is junk. loaded it on the car, it makes the exhaust so hot you can smell the...

    GT vs Z28

    the drive by wire on the 05+ stangs is what makes them feel slow. no punch off the line. have a race tune written for it and your feelings will change about which one feels faster

    GT500...need traction....what size rim and tire

    not sure of the rear brakes on your gt500s but a 15x8 with 5.5 inches of backspacing will go on a 05 gt. then go for a 26 or 27inch slick

    3.73s

    its all a matter of opinion and what you want to do with your car. i dont drive mine everyday so 410s were good for me. 3.73s would be a little extra boost over stock and would be good for everyday driving as well

    Just installed 93 octane tune with SCT/SF3 Flash Tuner

    ive been all thru my sct tuner. if they set 4.10s as stock gear ratio then you wont see it in the tune. the stock option will be checked. but you still have the option for 4.10 which will throw the speedo off even farther. your speed is 10 to 15 mph off in the good direction now. just wait...

    downshifting

    you were going too fast. you really have to ease it into 1st if you are rolling and tach the motor up a bit the get the gear speed to match engine speed. dont make a habit of jammin it in 1st or a tranny mechanic will be loving you for keepin him busy replacing your synchros lol
