    2008 Shelby GT500KR

    But your missing the point. Ford's "Special Edition" models have nothing special about them. That's why people complain. Who wants to pay 45K for a mustang gt that has shelby badges on their car? You can build a shelby gt replica out of your own gt for like $2K. FORD's special edition...

    2008 Shelby GT500KR

    FORD always pusses out. why dont they make something that will be a contender with the ZO6? they are missing one thing. They need to up the boost by 2lbs on the blower, and use a FORD racing intake system developed for the GT500. that would put it at 600 ponies and be right there with the...

    375 RWHP w/out S/C, Turbo, cams??

    you will not get there period, a driveshaft only allows the engines existing power to get to the tires more efficiently. Electric water pump wont benefit that much. larger oil pan will not increase horsepower. Lets put it this way. Unless your car puts out 400 engine horsepower, it will not...

    If you got an off road pipe, a tune will benefit you. 3.73 from 3.55 will go unnoticed. you will be disappointed. atleast a 4.10 from 3.55 will give you the perormance gain you want. You shouldnt be dropping into 3rd on the freeway at 80 to take off anyway. With a 4.10 4th gear becomes almost a...

    375 RWHP w/out S/C, Turbo, cams??

    you will not hit 350rwhp without some sort of a power adder, including cams. it wont happen. I think the most i have heard of was 336rwhp on 100octane tune. that is like 385hp at the crank or so.

    Octane Question

    call and ask brenspeed. As far as i know, running a 93 octane with 92 octane should be fine. 92 is a minmum rating, which means it could be higher than 92 but not less.

    Gear ratio - Gas milage VS Performance

    Whoever is wondering why they get bad gas mileage at 75-80 MPH is becuase the wind resistance. If you go 70, which is 5 over my freeway limits, i can get about 24mpg with 4.10's. And the wind resistance difference between 70 and 80 mph is a lot, thus you get worse mileage becuase the car is...

    Offroad X-H Pipes

    i would go h-pipe personally. i hate that high raspy sound of the x-pipe on these cars. It sounds crappy as he11. its a V8 not a 4cyl. make that thing roar like a lion, not sing like a bee. Kooldawgs car sounds sweet. that is a tough sounding car. lows an h-pipe. just what i want. BTW...

    First time to the track, i need help. Bad traction,upset w/ time =/

    I find that a launch from 3500-4000 will be best because it is in the peak torque range and you dont just drop the clutch like said. you have to milk it a little. The point is to accelerate as fast as possible with no wheel spin. To achieve that you have to start at higher RPM and feel the...

    First time to the track, i need help. Bad traction,upset w/ time =/

    just learn how to drive your car right. I'm not trying to b rude, but from what i read on how you shifted and drove, you drove like a grandma. In my 245hp 3000gt i ran 14.3 @ 99 with a 2.1 60ft (FWD) in san diego. you should trap more like 102-103 stock not 100, which is relectice of your...

    v6 wheels on a GT?

    you can find aftermarket wheels that are bigger than the 16" but still have the same design.
