    What's max SAFE hp of stock 2010 GT w/ boost?

    I would highly recommend VMP, but he is not in your part of the woods. He does do email tuning where you send him data logs and he fine tunes... But I would think you would rather have a real-time dyno tune... Try giving them a call and see what they suggest...

    Info needed - synthetic oil choice

    I've used it all, Red Line, Amsoil, Royal Purple, Mobil 1, Valvoline, etc...all synthetics... It really doesn't matter in a street driven vehicle with occasional track days... After using Red Line for years and $$$$$$$$$$$$$... I decided to use Mobil 1 in my Mustang, its cheap (compared to RL...

    New Video Review 5.0 - Smoking Tire

    That sure sounds nice... Does it really pull that hard against the Camaro SS...? Or was that staged?

    What's max SAFE hp of stock 2010 GT w/ boost?

    I was told by my tuner to limit the HP on the stock block to no more than 525 rwhp and thats pushing it. I think that is where Nasty is at... I'm at 436ish rwhp and its more than safe, but I'm only pushing 8 psi, 9 psi on a cold cold day. You can go 450-475 without worries...that is if your...

    Might be coming back to the fold. What do you think? :)

    Post more pics and we can give you a definitive answer...but from the looks of it, if you have the spare cash, and like the color and style, GO FOR IT... If you like the 2010 model better, then just wait for that one and build it up at your own pace... It looks like a really nice car. How...

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    On mine, I'm averaging 19 mpg according to my little mpg calculator on my phone... I was hoping it would be a little closer to mid 20s... I mostly do highway miles with some city... And no, I'm not dogging it at every light. I'm actually pretty conservative. Although, I do cruise 80 mph on...

    help me choose: Roush tvs vs Kenne bell stage 2

    Sorry... :p So Stage 3 will have all the options; upgraded suspension (upgraded from 427R), brakes, forged (light-weight) wheels, and custom interior with Stage 3 unique badging... Plus the very limited run...usually under 100 cars... The only car that was upgraded even further was the...

    help me choose: Roush tvs vs Kenne bell stage 2

    I was referring to current models since there was no particular year specified. For the years 2009 and older, yes, the 427R is a stripped down Stage 3.

    help me choose: Roush tvs vs Kenne bell stage 2

    427R is a stripped down version of a Stage 3. It has 435HP (M90 supercharger with stock engine), upgraded suspension from stock (GT) with a few other options. The Stage 3 comes with a forged bottom end with 540 HP (customer order up to 800HP) and bigger blower (TVS), upgraded suspension up from...

    help me choose: Roush tvs vs Kenne bell stage 2

    Thats called throttle modulation!! :D I was talking about WOT when I experience loss of traction... In those cases, you have to slightly lift off the throttle and find the sweet spot where you are no longer spinning and increase the throttle as the rpms increase. You can't drive it just...

    help me choose: Roush tvs vs Kenne bell stage 2

    Honestly, at 380 RWHP, you'll be happy...but the hunger for more power will continue to grow... I bought my ROUSH saying I wanted a car already setup with the right amount of power. In stock trim I dynoed at 368 at the wheels (435 flywheel), I was really happy with the power...but over time I...

    help me choose: Roush tvs vs Kenne bell stage 2

    Just on a side note, with the power I have now...its way overkill for autocross. I knew a guy who bought a GT500 who autocrossed all the time, little by little he modded his car until it was undriveable/useless in autocross. Little 4-cylinder cars where beating him bad!!!! He just had way too...

    help me choose: Roush tvs vs Kenne bell stage 2

    Frankly, how much power are you looking to make...? Is this a daily driver car? Or a trailered weekend race car? Everyone I've met that has boosted their car to 800HP plus power has reduced it to around 650 RWHP. They all said the same thing, for the street its pointless and undriveable...

    help me choose: Roush tvs vs Kenne bell stage 2

    Lets ask the right question, what is a DD without a supercharger...? BORING!!! The ROUSH cars are as dependable and reliable as a stock NA Mustang. The ROUSh superchargers are rated over 100,000 miles maintenance free...plus you get ROUSH bumper to bumper 36 months/36,000 mile warranty along...

    5.4 short block into my 06 GT

    Why do you want to do that...? The 5.4L is an iron block (heavy), it will kill the handling of your car... Why not just forge the 4.6L bottom end? If you really want the 5.4L, just wait till 2011 which will be available in aluminum instead of the heavy ass iron.

    Should I upgrade to Shelby GT500 suspension

    Stick with some Koni shocks and springs of your choice like Steeda or Eibach... Or even a Ford Racing suspension kit... The Shelby GT suspension is awesome (not the best, but pretty darn good)!!! Its been killing the competition on the track. GT500 suspension is junk...
