    Will Superchip Microtuner Adjust Speedo in 98?

    Thanks for the info. I do have a 5-speed so it looks like the microtuner will not readjust the speedo. Interesting! I wonder if I should test the guy installing the gears to see if he "knows" this is the case. He led me to believe that the tuner would make the adjustment. Hmm...I am aware...

    Will Superchip Microtuner Adjust Speedo in 98?

    Thanks for the advice. From what I have read on the forums, there is a problem with the speedo gears getting "chewed" up due to the increased number of teeth on the new gear. Adding more teeth has made them more brittle and the cars seem to chew them up. While I am not heavily modded (K&N...

    Will Superchip Microtuner Adjust Speedo in 98?

    I just spoke to the guy who is installing my 3.73's this week. He suggested using a mictrotuner to adjust the speedo since it will be off after the installation. I agreed with him since I don't think I will ever install a s/c or do the PI headswap (at least for a while). So, I checked the...

    What Will Springs and Subframes Provide?

    I am relatively new to the modular world of Mustangs, and have learned a lot on these forums. I have dropped off my car (1998 GT convertible) to have 3.73's done. While the car is at the shop, I am having full length weld-in(KB) subframes installed and Steeda Sport springs installed. How much...

    HeadSwap Question, Need advice

    Sorry to hear about all of your troubles! I think you will probably do best to try to be patient with them, while not taking and "stuff" from them. I have found in the past it is not good to rush a mechanic or body man. They can get it done fast, but not necessarily the way it should be done...

    What if I do the PI headswap but not the supercharger? Will it matter then?

    Need Gear Advice Today For 1998 GT Vert!

    Hey guys! I have been reading the boards for quite some time and have seen several posts regarding gears. I am going to the shop today to drop off my 1998 GT Convertible. I am having the weld-in subframes done, as well as a lowering kit. I am also going to have the gears done. I have...

    Superchargers- Install and Forget or Nightmare?

    Wow! They must do good work to justify driving down all the way from New York. There are supposedly a couple of good shops here in Northern VA. I am leaning towards the headswap for now. We'll have to see what I can talk my wife into! :nice:

    Superchargers- Install and Forget or Nightmare?

    Thanks for the input. Is there a forum to locate local shops that do this kind of stuff? I live in Northern VA, and am only aware of a couple of shops. I don't know how good they are, or if anyone would recommend them.

    Is Throttle Body Easy Installation?

    Thanks Ryan. In your opinion, is this mod worth doing? I am looking for some bolt on power, and thought this might help. Do you think it hurts low end torque? I have read that some think it is best for high RPM's, while hurting the low end. What do you think? Also, what mm do you suggest...

    Superchargers- Install and Forget or Nightmare?

    How much would PI increase hp when combined with K&N CAI and dual FM catbacks? I do have these on my car now. It is a five speed, and I believe it is stock 2.73's although it has 17's on it factory.

    Superchargers- Install and Forget or Nightmare?

    I should have added that I have FM catbacks, and K&N CAI. The car is a 5-speed. I am not looking to burn up the track as I have never driven on one. I would just like to have the extra HP in case I want to blow the doors off some Honda or Acura. I paid cash for the car, so I don't have a...

    Is Throttle Body Easy Installation?

    Thanks! Do you know of any links to a "how to" installation on these? Also, does the job require anything like RTV, etc? I installed my own Triax without any issues, but don't want to screw up anything motor related.

    Superchargers- Install and Forget or Nightmare?

    Approximately how much different would the gains be between a low/medium boost supercharger and the PI headswap? Also, would there be serious traction concerns if I added the power adder?

    Is Throttle Body Easy Installation?

    I have been considering installing a new throttle body and plenum in my 1998 convertible. Is this an easy installation or can it be tricky? I have been researching on the boards and it appears Accufab is a suggested manufacturer. Anyone have these mods on their 96-98 Mustang? If so, which...

    Superchargers- Install and Forget or Nightmare?

    Hello all. I am confused to say the least! I have a 98 GT convertible with 30k miles on it. It is a weekend driver and I take good care of it. I have been wanting to make it into a bit of a sleeper by increasing its performance, so I am seriously considering a supercharger or PI headswap...

    What is An Air Silencer?

    Hello all! Color me stupid, but what is an air silencer? :bang: I have read several posts that refer to K&N air intakes (or others), and say that they have removed the "air silencer". What is the advantage of this? Are there any negatives or potentially damaging side effects? I have a K&N...

    What Would You Do?

    Hello all! I have been toying with the idea of "upgrading" my 1998 Mustang gt vert to make it faster. It is basically stock except for K&N CAI, flowmasters and a Triax. I want to make it faster, but do not want to supercharge it. The car only has 30K miles on it and is a weekend driver. I...

    Steeda TRI-AX

    I don't think you can go wrong with the Triax. After researching the boards last year, I decided to put one in my 98 Vert. I don't regret it at all! It was very easy to install (provided you can follow directions!), and made all the difference in the world over the stock shifter. You can...
