    Thoughts on Supercharging a 60,000 mile GT

    I'd perform a compression and leak down test on your car. It should be perfectly fine, but it's nice to make 100% sure. Then, the E-force blower on a reliable, safe tune would be just fine. Most people who add boost and end up blowing up 6 months down the line are doing something wrong in the...

    What's your average MPG?

    On average, with city driving, spirited at times, I pull around 220 to a tank. I've gotten down as far as 180 to a tank, and as high as 230-240 to a tank. 15 year old 302's don't do TOO well on gas. :p

    Clutch Issue? need advice

    It's the throwout bearing, definitely. You've caught it early. At first, the sound goes away when the car warms up... Eventually, you'll have a very angry, and very mangled throwout bearing on your hands. When one of mine went WAY downhill, after yanking the bellhousing away from the engine, my...

    not running right(popping from exhaust)

    When my PIP went bad in the dizzy, it also exhibited popping from the exhaust at WOT past ~3k rpms or so (sounded like popcorn popping, very fast little backfires).

    400hp goal...PLEASE HELP!

    Rear wheel, or flywheel? H/C/I with supporting mods plus boost should definitely set you at your goal... However, why the supercharger? 300whp n/a would be good for 12's normally depending on driving, and if you really want that extra ~100, why not just spray it a bit? Less money than the s/c...

    Help me out guys. Are these any good??

    I'm curious too, as I may be going to tail pipes soon from my dumps. I've heard that those tail pipes contour to our rear bumper more, which I'd love!

    Odd noise in 5th gear after short throw shifter install

    TBH, every Mustang I've driven, even my mom's 05 when it had <30k on it, had some gear whine. My car, which was babied by the previous owners, even had it and it was multiplied slightly after my MGW install.

    Anyone see 2011 GTs having problems?

    I say do it. My mom ordered her 05 sixxer when the dealership started taking orders, and only had a few issues (computer was a big one, her car almost fell into the lemon law), but all of which were taken care of, free of charge and in a timely manner. If you love the car, go for it! Any issues...

    to keep or not to keep..that is the question :)

    Kilgore's got a point, TBH. My car is a GTS, one of like 1,200 in laser red, but I guarantee it's not worth more than a dime more than a GT especially when the GT has MORE options. On topic - don't swap it, just trade the car up for something better. New 5.0 would definitely be a plus!

    rear tires and front tires are different. you guys ever do this?

    Personally, I do not. And as for the grandma driving, I'm with you there now! It takes a lot of will power for me to take the car past 2,500 rpms now. :shrug: I've heard a lot of reviews from local guys about the KDW tires BFG has, and all have been good, but I heard they're a little pricey...

    95 gt not charging please help

    I'm a little confused. You turn the key to ACC position, and nothing happens? Does the fuel pump turn on, radio, anything? Is the car turning over/starting up properly? I may have misread the first post, sorry if I did! :nice:

    Bypassing the clutch safety switch...

    Got it, thanks. :nice: Funny, I looked through your thread before making my own, but didn't take the time to scroll down enough to the pictures... :p Mods, if you want you close this now, I'm all set. Thanks Chythar - I'll take care of it tomorrow. :D

    idles rough

    No such thing as a stupid question, brother! :nice: Like he said, OP, are you leaking coolant, and have you checked out oil? It's obviously a long shot, but head gasket failure can always be a culprit. As for any other things other than a basic tune-up, I can't really help out as my 5.0 is a...

    rear tires and front tires are different. you guys ever do this?

    fiveoho, I'm surprised you have a good review on the Sumi's, as around here I've never heard anything but 'eh' about them! I'm glad you're happier with them than I am though, it's all about personal preference when it comes to tires. Like I said, they were GREAT at first, but after a few trips...

    Bypassing the clutch safety switch...

    Perfect, I appreciate it. :nice: Anything in particular I should do for the jumper, or will a piece of fresh wire with exposed ends work? Just shove the ends of the wire into each terminal?

    Bypassing the clutch safety switch...

    That's exactly the part I was thinking of! Thanks a lot! :flag::flag::flag: Now, I thought that the part I should be messing with was the actual CLUTCH safety switch, the one with the little plunger attachment that goes in when the pedal is pushed down? I should leave that alone, and just add in...

    Bypassing the clutch safety switch...

    Do you happen to have any pictures of this, Chythar? The kick panel area is an absolute wiring nightmare in my car, due to a 10 year old alarm system that's in there. I think I may have an idea of what you're talking about, though already.

    Bypassing the clutch safety switch...

    Yeah, I got all under the dash today after work braving the 'cold' Florida weather. :rlaugh: I got everything figured out, but whoever installed the alarm system on my car years ago REALLY did a 'bang up' job on the wire consolidation... It's like a massive glob of wires that just fall down...

    rear tires and front tires are different. you guys ever do this?

    I have the Sumitomo HTR-Z+ I think they're called, in the rears, and they're absolutely terrible. First week having them on - AWESOME. Went to track cutting consistent 1.9 60' times all day long. After that.... They suck. I can't even launch at 1,200 rpms without revving through first instantly...
