    Question about GT500 Fuel Pumps

    Update: One pump was dead. Wires were fine, there was power at the fuel pump connector for both pumps all along. Replaced the harness anyway and the pumps last night. Now the sct x3 shows a FPDC of .18 at idle. Did a massive burnout and it never went over a .20 FPDC reading. Right where it...

    Question about GT500 Fuel Pumps

    If either fpdm is unplugged the engine should still keep running, correct? My engine idles with 39 psi with the original fpdm (#1) unplugged and the GT500 fpdm (#2) plugged in. However, if I keep #1 fpdm plugged in and unplug #2, zero fuel pressure and the engine dies. I switched the fpdms...

    Question about GT500 Fuel Pumps

    Is there any way to tell if both fuel pumps are actually working? Such as datalogging? If so what PID's would show what I am looking for and what values should they be?

    swaybars make you lose traction?

    Going to a 22mm shouldn't cause the car to get too loose. I have the stock front bar and a 26mm (1") rear on mine to offset the added supercharger weight in the front and she isn't loose at all. Handles pretty neutral.

    swaybars make you lose traction?

    Its called losing "side-bite". Stiff springs and stiff swaybars kill the tires' side-bite. Side-bite is the ability of the tire to resist sliding sideways. Forward-bite is the ability of the tire to resist spinning in place. Think about it - a swaybar is just a helper spring that, assuming...

    Rough Cold start and error code P0607

    Nah, you can't change it with your SCT. I use Brenspeed's tunes and even had to have them tweak it twice - idle air and throttle closing rate. At low RPM the Rocker's love fuel. Looks like a trip back to the shop, unless you want to go another route.

    Rough Cold start and error code P0607

    Detroit Rockers don't like too much idle air in the tune.

    Brenspeed Detroit Rockers

    I have the Detroit Rocker blower grinds. You can definitely tell there are cams in there at idle. If you are running 4.10's you definitely won't have to upgrade your T/C. I run fine with a stock auto and 3.31's, just some minor bucking during extreme low speed driving, i.e. lower than 1000 rpms...

    Pypes Violator Mufflers?? turbo?

    Thats wierd. I think you must have undersized overaxle pipes. Have you owned the car since new? They were never changed? If the Pypes won't fit then I doubt any aftermarkets will. The violators had a nice tight slip fit on my 2009.

    Concerns from previously bent control arm?

    Dealers replace the whole control arm when the balljoint goes bad. The stock balljoints actually do suck and there has been issues with noisy stock control arm bushings too - so a replaced control arm is not necessarily a bad thing. I had to replace mine at around 45k miles. I put GT500 arms on...

    Continental Extreme DWS Good?

    I have the 18" DW on my mustang, love them. Very quiet, and great traction. Awesome in the wet. However, you are right, the DW is a summer tire, the DWS is the year round tire. I would not run the DW if temps are under 45. I put my stock rims and BFG's back on usually in November, then change...

    shaker wiring

    some but not all early S197's were wired that way - if it was, there will be an unused connector on the wire harness near the rear passenger side corner in the trunk.

    Brand new member! :) 3 diff mufflers- Drone!

    The only ones I personally know guarantee no drone are Stock or Corsa. Drone made me so crazy I spent the bucks and got the Corsa's. I have heard that the Pypes mid-muffler set up has no drone, but I have never ridden in a stang with those installed.

    Pypes Violator Mufflers?? turbo?

    I have an automatic. Violators sound great but on my car the drone was way too much from about 1800-2000 rpm.
