    03/04 Mach 1 vs. 05/06/07 GT - mechanical differences?

    Well, both are rear wheel drive, front engine, V-8 powered unibody constructed cars. By all "advertising" they are very different cars and for the sake of exchanging parts from one to the other, they are. Aftermarket parts are in abundance for both and will be for years. Everyone has...

    Rear Control Arms?

    As you can see, there are several different opinions and that will probably confuse you more than help you. I'd say call the pros at MM, Griggs and yes even Steeda :D and see what they suggest, I'll bet they will include a Panhard Bar in their suggestions for what you want and will tell...

    Engine Noise

    What mufflers are you running? Maybe they are burning out some and causing the extra noise?? When you get up to speed then, in a sense, you may be out running the louder noise so it's not as noticable in the upper gears. I know my Son's and my Mustang are louder at 2k than probably anywhere...

    Performance Shops/Tuners in JAX?

    You're welcome, I know what you mean by watching HP TV, that show, reading 5.0 or any Mustang magazine for that matter does the same thing to me. :D

    Best trans fluid for the 3650?

    I found the non-synthetic Mercon ATF #XT-2-QDX as specified for the '04-up 3650's, at the '04 specified fill of 3.7L, to help considerably. I have been using it for a couple years now and I have no issues. Ford spec'd 3.8L (8 pints) of Synthetic Mercon ATF XT-2-QM for the '03 3650s.

    Best trans fluid for the 3650?

    I called Tremec and talked to John about this, he said do not use the Syncromesh because it swells the fiber material used in making the Synconizers in the 3650 transmission. He said use Mercon III / Dexron III at a quanity of 3.0 to 3.2 ltr. I now use Motorcraft MERCON ATF #XT-2-QDX but I...

    anyone ever do any auto Xing?

    Since it is your first time I won't get into car prep except that you should pump your tires up a few pounds above their normal settings to keep the tread flat on the ground when the side wall tries to lift them from the cornering forces. The main thing, again I won't go into too much depth...

    NA 2V fan settings

    I assume mine is like yours :shrug: even though I do have one of the very first Predators made for the Mustangs, actually one of the first 50, which has been 2 and 1/2 years or so ago. I just remembered the settings being like I stated and not like yours but I guess they very well could be...

    Can I make my Pro5 handle longer??

    I did mity, I'll try to get a pic of it this week-end for you to see. It is a little tight to get the rubber groment from the stock boot over the stick but a little white lithium grease made it slide right down.

    NA 2V fan settings

    I set my Son's '04 GT at the same settings that I did my Mach1 using the Predator. Low speed 1 on at 202 Low speed 2 on at 204 High speed on at 208 High speed off at 206 Low speed off at 200 Using the Data Log feature of the Predator, I dove around in various conditions and monitored the...
