    Cure me of my auto shame...

    Sup stangers, I absolutely hate the fact that my high and mighty 281 CUBIC INCH MONSTER of domestic v8 power mustang (auto) can barely hang with my friends' well modded, manual, NATURALLY ASPIRATED 4 cylinder cars. Did I get a total lemon or what? :notnice: Anyway, reading up I've found...

    Sylvania Silver Star bulbs

    The stock halogens tend to have that nasty yellowish tint... upgrading to the silverstars gives it a noticeably brighter look and a very mild bluish hue to it. Visibility is enhanced a lot. Happened to be my first mod so I would obssess over driving at night... haha... how pathetic. I...

    Wheel/Tire sizes and recommendations

    How did you go about doing that? Did you pay for it via paypal and then go in and pick up the wheels after they sent you a confirmation?

    What MPH hour does an auto shift into third at WOT?

    Yeah, when I need to give a highway ricer an idea of what he's toying with... second gear up to 85-90 just about does it. Someone mentioned above stock gears being 3.27? Thats just in manuals.... autos are 2.73.

    Predator on 2V?????

    I vaguely remember hearing that the Predator isnt compatible with auto's, anyone know otherwise? Also, is an intimate knowledge of automotive workings required to toy with the settings or is it something you could pick up in a day of reading?

    K&N FIPK: Worth it.

    I just grabbed a K&N last night, and I don't plan on getting a CAI setup... but there arent any gains from just a K&N filter right? Maybe with high horsepower applications, but I'm pretty skeptical for a nearly stock 4.6. I only ask because I read 'increased horsepower' on the box... lol. Ricer...

    04 Mach 1 vs. 05 GT?

    Sounds pretty tempting... I assume you're talking about an 03? In LA, its tough to find a decent car at a decent price, at least it has been so far. Thanks for all the input guys, you just helped me confirm what I thought in the first place :flag: .

    04 Mach 1 vs. 05 GT?

    Sup 'Stangers. Ok, heres my deal. I want to trade in my 02 GT auto for either an 04 Mach 1 or an 05 GT, but I don't know enough about either to be able to make a solid decision. What I do know, is that I want the 'potential' power upgrade so I can run with the LS1's, or at least have a...

    something i dont get about autos

    Aside from the weaker gear ratios in the transmission itself, thats exactly what it would be. At least through first and second gear, then you're right back to a 4spd AOD.

    something i dont get about autos

    Consider that the transmission is the middleman between the power your engine is making and the driveshaft supplying power to your rear wheels. While programmed shift points do make somewhat of a difference, the real problem lies in the parasitic loss incurred by an automatic. In other words, it...

    To Long Tube or not to Long Tube

    I've heard differing stories from different people. How do LT's cause emissions to fail if you still have cats on your midpipe?
