    Couple questions about some induction questions for a 2002 GT

    Go the extra mile and get an Accufab plenum and TB with a JLT CAI. In my opinion, JLT is way better than any other CAI on the market.

    difference between cold air and short ram

    FYI.... My wife bought me the JLT cold air pipe for about $250 for Christmas. I won't report on anything unless I feel it's a worthwhile performance investment so this is why I wanted to share my results with you. Before the pipe installation I was pushing it to shift from 1st into 2nd at...

    H&R SuperSports, how many of you still use stock shocks/struts?

    What about installing the struts, shocks and springs yourself and then pay the shop to install the CC plates and align for you? How difficult can it be to install shocks, springs and struts?

    UPR plus LM2's?

    Since we're on the subject, I heard somewhere that an Xpipe is a bad choice when you have flowmaster mufflers installed because it chokes the car? Anyone verify whether this is true or not

    Who here sells the kit...

    I'm having some warranty work done on my car this week so I just removed mine two days ago. Honestly I feel like the car runs better without it. It starts much better and feels like it's breathing easier. I probably won't re-install mine so if you like, email me your address and I'll mail it...

    Do I have a gear?

    Wait just a da gone minute here! I have an '04 gt with 5 speed. My first gear barely gets to 10 mph and I'm shifting out of second at 20 mph. This has been a major gripe with me since I bought this car. Could someone with expertise tell me if this is normal or maybe a reason that it's not so...

    40th Anniv 40th Anniversary Stangers...

    Now I'm super bummed! All this time I thought I had a 40th anniversary mustang but all I have is a charcoal 04 gt. I always thought it strange that besides the 40th fender badges, there were no other distinguishing features. Why would they put 40th badges on a 04 gt anyway?

    04 GT Manual Transmission Rattle

    I have an 04 GT manual transmission and I'm also dealing with a noise. However the noise I hear from mine sounds like a chain dragging on the ground. I really hear it whenever I'm driving close to a curb or next to another vehicle. I think it's embarrassing because it makes the car sound like a...

    Gears improvement

    My situation is just the opposite. I'm running stock gear on my 04 GT and what I hate is the short 1st gear. Driving away from a red light, I would love to have a lot more 1st gear because I'm always getting passed. In the eighties, my mom's 89 gt was more of a blast in 1st gear. Now I find...

    Anybody use predators?

    I remember when these first came out (predator carbs). They were notoriusly known for leakage. I guess they've come along way since those days.

    Anyone ever mount a NEON underbody kit, please help.

    Next thing you know, he'll have 24" spinners and his car jacked 6 feet in the air. But hey, why stop there? There's always flame throwers, fuzzy dice and fox tails to boot! :)

    predator USE

    Does it make that much difference in hp to the rear wheel, torque? I know what I've read in the magazine and on their website, but how about some of your experiences? -T

    ARE DIAMOND CUT HEADLIGHTS TOO IMPORT LOOKING? what do you thingk?

    I got the same lights on my 87. I love them! It's the blacked-out round style tailights I have sitting in my bedroom that I'm not too sure about. Anyone have the "round-style" tailights on their car? Pictures?

    The best supercharger. . . . . .is a turbocharger.

    I'm glad all of this was posted because I will need all the help I can get. My wife works with a guy that's giving her his twin turbos to give to me. They were from a mustang he sold years ago and has no interest in keeping them stored in his garage. He said one of the turbos may need to be...

    Thinking about underdrive pulleys..

    That's strange. My stock pulley which came off my 87 has the lip on each side. This is what caught my attention when installing the BBK set. I've also seen the pulley from another manufacturer which has the lip on each side. :shrug:

    Please help trying to find out some info on Aod to t-5 swaps

    I'll agree with the donor car as this is what I'm looking to do as well. You should be able to find one relatively cheap and you'll have everything you need.

    Thinking about underdrive pulleys..

    I installed BBK's aluminum pulleys a couple of months ago. The only thing I questioned about BBK's pulleys when I got them was that the water pump pulley doesn't have a lip on either side to keep the belt from slipping off. I haven't had a problem with it yet so I guess the belt's tension keeps...

    ss vs. foxbody

    Stock for stock, the SS's motor has bigger displacement. The mustang should have more low-end torque but the SS should have no problem winning in the end with the right driver behind the wheel. I had a "slow-marrow" once back in the 80's. The car wasn't running in top form and I easily walked...
