    Who's got 9.5 up front?

    I'm plus-sizing my S197 to 18". I don't want to stagger. So I'm debating 9.0 vs 9.5. Who has 9.5's up front, and have you had any issues? Do they fit OK? I'll have some Nitto 555's on all 4 corners, 285/40. Those Nitto's are a bit on the narrow side, and should fit really perfectly on that...

    Southern California full service shops?

    Being the relative noob I am, I've recently discovered the difference between real tuners and installers who have dynos but just use canned tunes. I'm trying to find the closest real dyno tuner who also has a full install shop. Someone who can do it all, and well. I know ST and DPR are great...

    Upgradability of the Saleen supercharger?

    Well I just went all engineer bench racer and spreadsheeted a bunch of positive displacement supercharger kits. I think I've changed my own mind. For the buck, you really can't beat the Whipple numbers. It's the only good kit I see that includes a real fuel pump for the same price as the rest...

    Upgradability of the Saleen supercharger?

    For positive displacement superchargers I'm leaning toward the Saleen. I'm not really a Saleen fan per se, but I just like the compact design and not having to install a big intercooler. Oh, and I think it has the best sound The downside is, at some point I'll want more boost out of it. When...

    Whipple Supercharger .....

    I talked to Dustin at Whipple a month ago to the day. At that time, he said "We have 2 systems, one with stock injectors that produces 425rwhp @ 8psi and one that creates 515rwhp with 11-psi and larger injectors, as well as a few other upgrades. We will release more information in mid...

    Nittos on 18" bullits?

    The set I was looking at (past tense) were the non-deepdish, which are 9" on all four corners. The Deepdish are 9" fronts and 10" rears, so you have nothing to worry about. You can fit 305's on those rears no problem. But I think I am going to hold out for the deepdish also, I just want the...

    Nittos on 18" bullits?

    Remind me...I searched but surprisingly did not find any threads, although I'm sure I've seen at least one. Is there a 555R that will fit on the 18" Bullit wheels? You know, the ones they have at MustangTuning.com and elsewhere, very common. The wheels are 9" wide, and Nitto's chart states the...

    Southern/Central California Installer?

    Well Monday is the day, I will be making phone calls to talk to installers. I will be starting with a PD blower, most likely Saleen. I've talked to Joe and Chicane briefly and he comes recommended. I also notice Granatelli is really close to me (Santa Barbara) and I am looking for feedback on...

    Forged Internals

    I thought that the term "modular" refers to the ability to drop in two more cylinders, to create the v10 truck motor. In fact, I'm sure of it. But maybe the term has dual meanings.

    06 mustang tuning deep dish offset WRONG

    Actually, last time I checked the manufacturer WAS retooling the fronts, so if you have an '05 GT the new product will fit without spacers, whenever the new version comes out. However, with this new news about the different calipers on the rear...who knows, they may just put the retooling on...

    Questioning the MM&FF results

    Yeah, the majority of magazines are biased. I once read an excellent independent article about how almost the entire automotive publishing industry is somewhat sold out. They can criticize, but not TOO strongly...else where are the press cars, free parts, advertising, etc coming from? It's kind...

    Southern Ca tuner?

    OK, I'm sick of playing make-believe on the forums. Time to pull the trigger. Thinking a PD blower, snow intercooling, CAI and more...possibly a stroker kit with forged internals to mate with high boost. Anyone have experience with Installers/Tuners in the SoCal area? I'm in Santa Barbara, so...

    Whipple Supercharger News...

    Yeah, that shortage is the same reason the Shelby won't have a Twin-screw. Really a shame, having to drop back to a Roots on that awesome machine. Hopefully Autorotor isn't having the same production problems as Lysholm...I would hate to see all the rest of the twin-screws dry up also.

    A/C cycling too much, too noisy?

    Mine sometimes cycles as much as 10 times/minute. That's normal? Even if it is, it's a very annoying noise and quite noticable with the windows rolled down and just cruising. Tick/hiss, tick/hiss, tick/hiss....

    Gears for turbo?

    Howdy folks, Why is it that you will sometimes hear a recommendation to stay with a relatively mellow gearing if your power-adder is a Turbo? I have no experience with power adders, but it seems to me that a nice set of 4.10s would be ideal when mated with a turbo. The gears for power down...

    Wheel Hop and Squeaky Brakes

    I've done numerous smoky burnouts and hard launches with nary a bounce...until last night. I took my friend for a ride to show off, and suddenly every launch I did was hopping like a scene from "Bullit". I havn't looked into it, but the change was sudden and radical.

    problem launching the car

    Wow, you guys are mean! I'm kinda surprised to see all these "learn how to drive!" posts in response. Granted, the OP sounds young with the overly-brief post with bad spelling, but it's not like they are hostile. Anyway, the OP has several mods. The drive-by-wire throttle is already...
