    Mod time. Need experience inside.

    So, it has come time to mod the stang. I don't want to go C&L CAI first, but will later. I wanna see how far 300hp will take me before i upgrade the power. I want to go with the UDP from steeda and an alumi. driveshaft, but i dont know which one. I have heard of caost, JPC, Inalnd empire...

    Midlife crisis???

    GM does make the corvette/ Z06. i wouldnt complain if i had that. But, to be honest, the overall quality of FORD is not to my standard and not that great. I am a mech. engineer and designer, and they went shoddy on a lot of things to save cost. example, you can literally shake and move...

    Midlife crisis???

    just ignore him. he's being a prick. I'm 20 and i get *******s all the time asking me if its daddy's car. I actually say the same thing every time. And it is usually low-life ricers trying to be tough. "Hey! Is that your daddy's car? I bet you feel cool." "No, It's mine. I went to...

    Ducktail Type Spoilers

    so they charged 2500 for all your parts. ok. well, thats all right that you don't know. care to take a wild guess? i was hoping it would be less than the cost of the parts. they are really small parts too, so hopefully its less than 600. be sure to get some pictures. nice ride

    Opinions on Intakes please.

    for real. most dealers are so gay, and they can't void your warranty on anything. Ford has to have it investigated before the dealer can legally not honor your warranty anyway. Funny thing, when i installed my 4.10 at the dealer he recomended i buy a C&L intake and tune with the car...

    Opinions on Intakes please.

    change the air box, re load the stock tune, disconnect the + battery side overnight while you sleep(it doesnt even have to be over night) then reconnect battery cable and take to dealer. The only history read will be a disconnected battery and the current stock tune. The dealer will have nothing...

    "Stock" GT in the 12's.

    Whats your elevation? he was from the la joya/san diego area which is darn near sea level. 1.8 60 ft and a 14.0? you should be faster than that. are you automatic? EDIT: you said 03 gt, not an 05+. elevation and Density altitude play a huge role like you said, and at his altitude and good...

    4.30 too big for supercharger?

    a turbo's power band be more similar to that of a centrifugal SC than a roots ? it would come in the mid upper range. i can see 4.10s being fine with vortech. the HO system is still fairly conservative at about 470HP at the crank. i think that is just right. just get some good rubber and i...

    "Stock" GT in the 12's.

    well, he has the BFgoodrich drag radials in a 295-35 ithink. they hook extremely well. Good point with the tune. He does have a diabloport but he said he has a stock tune but uses it to callibrat the gears and tires. what i want to know is how he pulled a 1.7 60 ft. that is damn good for...

    How much power with bolt-ons?

    :shrug: :dead: But, i do think the na cars will reach 370whp eventually without major modification, ie stroker kits, compression raise. I'll try to avoid the bench racing.

    can you use 5w30 in the 05-up mustang?

    Actually, they do. It's worth it to them to check it rather than dish out a brand new engine. As i work as a mechanical engineer, and deal a lot with replacing faulty hardware and complaints from customers. If they modified it in anyway, we tell them to take hike. Thats business, and it costs...

    "Stock" GT in the 12's.

    Hey ya'll. So, i have a "friend" who just moved from cali to here in utah. He claimed his GT ran 12.947 with only gears (4.10) and some drag radials and LCA's. I called BS on that, and he showed me a time slip. I couldnt believe it. his 60 ft was 1.734 and trapped 105 and sure enough...

    whats a good drag wheel?

    the only oint of having a "drag wheel" is lightweight and width for some fat tires. There are numerous rims that are mad that weigh less than 20 pounds. Enkei makes a few rims that you can custom size, width spacing, offset etc and they will weigh about 15 lbs. they may not be the hottest...

    can you use 5w30 in the 05-up mustang?

    WERD! if an engine blows with other than stock specified oil grades they can kick you in the ass and send you on your way with a fat bill for a new engine. You could probably fight it in court and win proving that a 5w30 oil is plenty sufficient for the motor, but its worth it to just use...

    Returning to stock tune

    Octane rating does not = better or worse fuel. octane rating refers to the rate at which the fuel burns. A higher octane rating burns slower, which is why you can advance the timing and gain better power. actually 100 octane on a 93 otane tune will cause you to lose some power. An engine makes...
