    octane and oil thoughts..

    When I first got the car I had a Ford Motorsports mechanic install a FR1 performance pak. At which point Ford requires the racing filter to maintain warranty status.

    octane and oil thoughts..

    I run Mobil1 5w-20 with the ford racing filter. Royal purple for trans and diff. IMHO the CAI and tuner is a good starting point. You will get a nice bang for your buck and you can switch octane levels. I run 87 from monday through thursday and 93 for race night. I just retune while the gas...

    Opinions: Nitto NT01 or Hoosier R6

    I have a set of 2 17" 70% NT01s . As I am a noob I got them for drag racing and found out the hard way I had the wrong tire. What size are you looking for? I can get the specific size if you have any interest

    So who drives their Mustang in the winter?

    Sledding I drive mine a 100 miles per weekday year round. I live in NJ, we don't get frequent snow but it happens. I use a set of take-off rims with stud less snow tires. I will be replacing the radiator support and swaybar before it gets too nasty. update 1.6 60' 12.6 ET 27mpg on 87octane

    Maple Grove

    I just got back from a test and tune at maple grove, PA. Decent track and the scale was online. I got 3 runs in 5 hours due to numerous oil spills and breakdowns. Traction was excellent, I pulled a new best of 1.6 60" 12.6ET :D

    Wrapping the Speedo

    Speedo from the factory my car shutdown at 149mph. The car felt pretty solid up to that point. My best guess as to why is the factory tire speed rating is 149mph. It sure would suck to have a blowout at 175. A tune can eliminate the speed limiter. I get a scarey hood rattle and shake...

    LCA Bushings

    I don't know anyway to be sure what the problem is without putting it up in the air and giving it a shakedown. I am dropping my rear arms today to determine if the LCA's are wiped out or just the bushings. Round hole good oval hole bad lol
