    Oil life is short?!

    When I have my AM 93 race tune loaded...if you just jab the throttle in any gear, the car would move out pretty good. It's possible...that I was thinking of 5th gear, but I'm pretty sure 6th gear had a little more pep to it. When I was driving along in 5th at about 45-50, if I give the gas 2...

    Oil life is short?!

    So I called American Muscle, and they think the strategy code should have changed if the computer was updated. I called the dealer and talk to my service guy (who prolly doesn't REALLY know...) and he said "if only the oil life indicator was updated and not the rest of the computer...the code...

    15 or Less MPG? Something Wrong?

    It's totally flat when you're breathing on the accelerator. :notnice:

    Oil life is short?!

    So I reset the oil life indicator today to 100% after the TSB update (dealer forgot to). So far, it still says 100%. As I stated last week, within 2-3 days the oil life went down 5%...so I will check it periodically this weekend. Before I took the car in to the dealer, I had to reflash the...

    2011 GT Stock Dyno Run

    I'm gonna dyno my car in the next month or so. I have 3.73s and a stick, and I've "tested" 3rd gear...it only does about 80-85mph.

    Oil life is short?!

    So I flashed my car back to stock and brought it in to the dealer today. They reflashed the PCM with the TSB update. (They also fiddled with my rear axle breather valve issue). Of course, they didn't reset my oil life back to 100% (I had to do that)...as my oil change was last week..and it...

    Blown Differential!

    Took my car to the dealer today for the leaky valve. They said there wasn't much leaking this time, but it was still there (I didn't get to verify). They told me they put in 5 pints of fluid in there...(which makes me think they drained it all, then filled it up) and that was the factory...

    15 or Less MPG? Something Wrong?

    I do reset the mpg meter. In fact, that's the nerdy sort of thing I've done after every fill up for the past 10 or so years. I've decided to just change the display to the hilarious "bar graph" for efficiency monitoring, and once in awhile, poke the "avg. mpg" button to see how I'm doing...

    15 or Less MPG? Something Wrong?

    I get about 17-18 with mostly city driving. On the highway, if I keep it at 65-70, I saw about 24.5. I have 3.73 gears and man. trans. I have 5,100 miles now. I also have issues with my "oil life indicator," which told me I was at 10% oil life with just 4,700 miles. Apparently there is a TSB...

    Changing Tunes - Question

    Ok....I lied. Two questions. 1. I have a 93 Race tune installed now. Do I need to go back to stock before I can change to another tune, or go right to the other tune? 2. Does the SCT SF3 hold 3 custom tunes AND some additional SCT tunes? Or just 3 tunes + stock tune? Ok....that's really...

    Oil life is short?!

    Oil life update: Just had my oil changed at the dealer last week. Mobil 1 and a FRPP filter. They reset the oil live indicator on Thursday. By Sunday, the indicator said "95%". How in the F do I go down 5% in 3 days?! :notnice:

    Rear axle purge valve leak

    They tech told me there was a TSB on this, but my car was too new (built 11/2/10, I think). He also checked the diff level and said it was fine (not too full). I went to my buddies house yesterday, who has a 5.0 that has 10K miles on it. His axle was bone dry. I might take it in to the dealer...

    Upgrade to HIDS---is it practical

    Simple replacement bulbs can help provide a good light, and it's cheaper than a crazy HID retrofit. Cheaper too. :)

    '04 Cobra wheel options

    My friend has a 2004 Cobra and he wants to get some wider wheels. I did a search in the FAQ and didn't really see what I was looking for. Can anyone chime in and just give me the best specs/sizes? I'm thinking 275 in the front is the widest, and something like a 305+ would be nice. Any...

    Roush axle-backs installed

    I think they are a "chambered" design? They sound particularly different than their old design (2007)...and they are much louder than on my old car. I really like them. :)

    Roush axle-backs installed

    I just went over to Roush today and had them install their axle-backs. :drool: While I was there I took a look at a Blackjack, along with a 2012 RS3 (Roush Stage 3) Mustang. Awesome. I asked one of the engineers if the mufflers for the 5.0 sound better than the one's I had for the 4.6. He got...
