    2005 LNR Mustang by: Blow-By Racing

    I noticed that in the engine shots the Intake Manifold is Silver in color. Is that a new IM or just painted? If painted, what process, primer and paint was used to avoid problems with the plastic OEM IM integrity? Otherwise, looks nice. Not for me...but very nice!

    Mustang makes top three list of most hated cars on BMW M3 forum...

    It's funny how when you go out to different Forums, there are always threads to find out what everyone dislikes/hates or even likes. I don't hate any particular car, just some of the idiots driving them. I do not like the Ricer look or the Bling Bling look, nor do I like the melted plastic...

    1,355 miles...Check Engine light

    If the CEL comes on, you usually have a problem that should be checked. Sometimes it is minor like the fuel cap not on properly, but can be something serious. Just because you disconnect the battery and it seems to clear the light, the problem is probably still there. If you do disconnect the...

    Strange Noise

    I have heard the sound you are talking about. It seems to come from the front of the car, maybe in the engine compartment. I have heard it in other GT's I have driven, so whatever it is, is in all or alot of them. I have a feeling maybe either the fuel injection system or HVAC system. There...

    Key Fob window down??????

    Depending on when you bought your new Mustang, it is now disabled from the factory due to problems they were having on early models. My owners manual says I have the feature, but it does not work. Since my GT was born in early Jan, I believe the feature is disabled in my GT since I have tried...

    1,355 miles...Check Engine light

    Unless you have a DS Predator to read the codes, then take it to the dealer for them to read the code, determine what is really wrong and then they will reset the check engine light. Unless you washed the engine and really poured water in the engine bay when you washed it, then more than likely...

    New Revision from DiabloSports -Awesome-

    The new DSP software update seems to be working great and I am seeing smoother overall power/torque. However one word of warning when installing the update to your Predator....Re-boot your PC, this will clear any programs that are taking up memory. Shut down all programs running in the...

    2nd Defective Gas Tank

    Curious question on the Gas Tank Issue......Are most of you who are having problems living in CA and other states that have the Gas Vapor/Emissions hoses on the gas pump nozzles with the sensor that won't let you pump till the hose nozzle is all the way snugged up? The first time I filled up...

    Diablo Sport vs Xcalibrator

    So far I have had very good luck/results with the DSP. I first installed the 87 Octane tune right after I had installed a Borla Cat-back Exhaust. Ran a lot better and by the seat of the pants seemed to have more power that was a lot smoother through the Torque curve. I recently installed the...

    Steeda Charge Motion control plate's question

    I am not sure how accurate some of the threads I have read about the CMCVP's, but gains of 20-25 RWHP are possible with including a CAI and re-tune of the computer (DSP statement). If you are going to use the CMCVP's, then I would also add the CAI (Cold Air Intake) as well. I would consider...

    Handheld tuners (predetor, etc.) Warranty ?

    The Warranty issue is still up for debate. My dealer does not seem to have issues with aftermarket hardware (with-in reason) and re-tunes. However, my Service Advisor advised me to bring my DiabloSport Predator with me when I bring the car in for any problems that may be engine related. Both...

    MGW accessories

    I sent them an e-mail a few weeks ago. Got a response back they were working on '05+ versions of their stuff. Still nothing on their web site to indicate '05+ usage. I like some of their dress ups items. Would like to see a billit aluminum fuel door, but I have not found one specifically for...

    Long tube vs. shorty

    You will get a bit more HP & TQ from the Long Tube Headers than the Shorty ones. This assumes you also replace the OEM Catalytic Converters with new free flowing ones, X or H pipe and good mufflers (Borla, JBA, MAC, Magnaflow, Bassanni, etc). From what I have read....LTHs gain 12-15 RWHP/TQ...
