    Get more power out of S&B intake

    The JLT CAI uses a S&B filter, so I assumed it would run into the same issues as the actual S&B intake. Is that a wrong assumption?

    Get more power out of S&B intake

    So put a Spectre filter on the end of the JLT CAI and you get 7hp more with the corrected MAF info? While I'm not questioning you, I've always thought of Spectre air filters the same way I've always thought of Fram oil filters... at the bottom of the barrel. If there quality of filtering is...

    Getting rid of the 2005-up throttle dead-play?

    I'm honestly amazed at the amount of responses that are something to the effect of "it's not a problem, get used to it". That's as bad as Ford saying the fuel filling issue isn't a problem, get used to it. Through various manual tranny vehicles that I've driven, from a '69 Camaro to an 82...

    Getting rid of the 2005-up throttle dead-play?

    This is my number one complaint with the S197. I had hoped it would be corrected or at least mitigated with a tune as some folks had suggested, but no such luck. If I had easy access to a dealership I'd consider buying a second throttle assembly to physically adjust the brushes because I can't...

    Who makes our 5spd trannys?

    No problem! I'm just happy to finally be able to contribute something to this board. :D lol

    Who makes our 5spd trannys?

    Tremec makes the GT 5spd, it's Tremec 3650, although I'm not sure who makes the auto tranny....

    05+ UK SVA conversion kit?

    Good to hear that about Mildenhall, as that was one of the first places recommended by a fellow Mustang owner. I find Sigma to be quite enticing because not only do they have the Euro style tail lights mentioned on their site, but they also have the "come to me" service that I must admit, is...

    05+ UK SVA conversion kit?

    Thanks for the info LV51FER! I've been doing a bit of perusing around the local UK Mustang sites and found lots of info from those of have had the conversion done, and with the addition of the SJB, I'm in no hurry to make the attempt, even though I do consider myself slightly better than just...

    05+ UK SVA conversion kit?

    I've been told that you can buy the kit for the head and tail lights to convert over to a UK standard light setup. Does anyone know where you can buy this type of conversion kit? I'm hoping my car arrives this week, but then I have to have it converted over so it can pass their inspection...

    MGW shifter owners, are they worth it??

    That's good to know that their quality continues over into their chroming, but I guess I should have worded that differently. I really was trying to say that, I feel their shifter is of such high quality, that I wish they did suspension or other functional pieces. I'm not all that big on...

    MGW shifter owners, are they worth it??

    I just finished installing my MGW shifter in my '06 GT, and it is absolutely worth every penny I paid, including the 2 day air delivery I paid extra for. From the quality of the shifter, to the installation instructions, to the customer service, MGW rates as one of the best (if not THE best)...

    MGW shifter owners, are they worth it??

    I just traded in my '01 GT for an '06 GT and after reading numerous threads on the quality of the shifters available for the New Edge Stangs, and then this thread, I bought me a MGW shifter for my '06. I hate you guys... no really, I love you guys, but I have no doubt that my wife would hate...

    confused about bottom end vs top end

    You absolutely have "mid" power range. When folks talk about low-end, they're talking about having gob loads of torque to play with. High end is in reference to having "gob loads" of horsepower above 5250rpm, the point at which horsepower becomes the prime number and torque falls off...

    Gear Break in...umm this is new..??

    Sounds like everyone's an expert here on gear break in, because they ripped on their new gears and didn't break anything. LOL Here's a good rundown by Amsoil on why it's a good idea to "break in" your gears. http://www.upmpg.com/lubricationnews/differential_maintenance/ To me, it's...

    Short throw shifter

    Pry bar did it for me. I worked all four sides and all four corners, and I eventually got it up.

    Bump steer?

    Up until about 2k miles ago, the occurences of this were very few and far between. I believe it is indeed tramlining, but with stock tire size (properly inflated), it may be an alignment issue as well. We shall see. I'm about to head out of country for a year, so it's not necessarily on the...

    Bump steer?

    Excellent! It's actually the response I was hoping to get. I'm actually pretty familiar with suspension geometries, but it's mostly applicable to trucks. I was very afraid that our Mustangs would have some peculiar tendency or known issue that I would have to find a fix or work around for...

    Bump steer?

    My '01 GT still retains the stock suspension components, so I'm not lowered any at all (besides any sagging of course). I've always associated bump steer with lowering our vehicles. Is it still possible to encounter bump steer with stock suspension? If I drive over smooth road surfaces, or...

    Idle issue after plenum/tb install

    Have you tried adjusting the throttle set screw? If you don't have any vacuum leaks, than the only other thing I can think of is that the throttle plate is stuck open wider than it should be. Are you certain you don't have a vacuum leak somewhere, or possibly a hose disconnected?

    Idle issue after plenum/tb install

    The Idle Air Control valve is absolutely electronically controlled, and it is definitely a good idea to disconnect the battery to clear the learning the computer has accomplished with the old plenum and TB on. The computer will now begin to adapt for the new TB/plenum. If that doesn't fix...
