    Mail order tires/wheels

    Same as gp001 - tirerack.com twice (including the ones on my 05 Stang) and no problems at all.

    I gotta' throttle body!

    Haven't noticed any bad tendencies, but the car is currently at the shop becoming faster.

    I gotta' throttle body!

    That is a blue CAI filter lol, it just doesn't show very blue from the angle I took the pic from. Not knowing the owner of CCM, I got it for the introductory price of...give 'em a call and ask - their number is (661)-823-2400. I'm not sure I should post it.

    I gotta' throttle body!

    Thanks, bigcat. Haven't had time to talk to CCM yet, since I just installed it late last night and I would expect them to be closed on weekends (Saturday now). Definitely nothing wrong with the product itself, it's the same procedure to load the spring for the stocker. Here are a couple of...

    I gotta' throttle body!

    OK, pics will have to wait until morning (actually tomorrow afternoon). When I got home tonight, I got busy installing, and I haven't had time to get pics because I ran into an issue. First off, I'd like to bitchslap the moron at Ford who thought it would be a good idea to use locktite on...

    I gotta' throttle body!

    Just got my TB. I'm at work, so pics'll have to wait until I get home, but all I can say from first opening the box and removing the bubble wrap is $%@! it looks sweet! Looks like a really high quality piece and I can't wait to get home to install it. It came with instructions and a dyno...

    I gotta' throttle body!

    Ahh, that problem. The tune I loaded when I installed my CAI did away with most of the throttle lag, but there's still a little there, can't wait to feel the diff with the bigger TB. I'll definitely post pics.

    What problem?

    Cruise Control

    Best cruise control ever. No complaints at all. Much better than the cc on my '04 Lexus (last car) that would lose memory if I slowed down more than 15 mph or so.

    Please answer this question before I flip

    Sometimes the 285-width rear tires don't light up properly with it on. :rlaugh: Got some nice things about to be installed to help with that, too.

    Please answer this question before I flip

    TCS - just something to remember to turn off every time I get in the car.

    I gotta' throttle body!

    Add one more customer to the list. I'm really tired of BBK's delays - a quick phone call to Central Coast Motorsports and I should have an actual (that's real, not promise-ware) product tomorrow - anodized blue, too. Awesome timing, as my car goes to the shop Saturday to get long tubes...

    Exhaust Intall causing Problems????

    My car is lowered and I still didn't need to lift it to replace the mufflers. Would have made it a little easier I'm sure, but not absolutely necessary.

    what to do to get 370HP

    I agree - the only hp and torque numbers that are really important are the ones measured where the rubber meets the road.

    what to do to get 370HP

    Let me say this again a little differently. I'm not going to run a supercharger with this engine without forged internals, certainly not until some people install them and put some real miles on without having issues related to the additional strain. I sure as hell am not going to put a...

    what to do to get 370HP

    Nobody has said anything about 370 rwhp, it's been crank discussion from the start. What I said was, "Should be 70-75 hp over stock." That would be 370-375 crank hp with all bolt ons available.

    what to do to get 370HP

    Pretty much what Meat496 and stkdidy said. I want to see what I can do while staying NA and I want to see how long the bottom ends and transmissions last at SC levels of hp and boost. I also don't want to add the drag and associated extra wear from an SC if I can get the kind of hp I want...

    what to do to get 370HP

    I'm heading down the "every bolt on available" (except SC) path like 302fordracer - CAI, long tube headers, h-pipe, an electric water pump, underdrive crank pulley, throttle body, charge motion plates, and some aftermarket idler pulleys, along with a custom dyno tune and some 4.10 gears. Should...
