    new 02 stang

    Magnapacks (15673) :hail2:. They take a bit of beating. I still love the sound after a year.

    Are these 4.6l V8s good engines?

    I rarely get involved with the whole pushrod vs mod thing as I like both but I will say this. The old 5.0s `feel` more torquey off the line than a new edge GT but they have less torque out of the box. And horsepower. And performance. I`ve driven a 94 GT 5.0 and it felt lifty enough but then went...

    Accufab 75mm throttlebody/plenum

    yup, as above. Just bang it on, the difference is negligible. In fact, most bolt ons are hardly worth $hit in terms of a `real` power hike.

    Modification Survey Thread

    Mods feel free to move or delete . For anyone interested I installed an aftermarket Throttle body and Plenum to my 2003 GT. Added an Accufab Plenum and 70mm throttle body. Went 70mm from reading and asking but the size and make is entirely dependant on the car/mods and owners requirements...

    Mustang 2003 GT auto Exhaust . Magnaflow magnapacks (cat backs) 15673. Magnaflow claimed 14hp (in reality 6) .Bought for the exhaust note. Diablosport Predator tuner., they claimed 20 plus hp (in reality dyno says 12 with the 93 tune) I`m in the UK so running 99 ron gas. That`ll be about...

    Let's talk octane booster...

    Theres been umpteen tests and reviews on octane boosters over the years. They do mix 100% with with whatever octane you`re using providing you pour the contents of the bottle in first, then fuel up at the pump. They don`t bump up the overall octane rating as much as the manufacturer claims and...

    I thought MagnaPacks are Loud !?!?! ummmm no

    Depends what you`re used to. I have the packs (15673s) and they`re the business. In the car normal driving they`re actually quiet. Open it up and you can hear it. I`m going o/r H pipe soon though. Its not a DD so f#ck it. I didn`t buy a Mustang to go incognito.

    04 gt WOT no shift

    I`m guessing you haven`t altered the shift settings with your tuner? Like WOT shift points/shift points/rev limits etc? If you have you can try re installing the original tune and see how that goes. The original back up tune should still be available to upload to your ECU and could reset and...

    Crap talking from an STI owner

    I should hope so with about 150hp more and a 12 year advance in technology. To the OP. :shrug: Its your donald duck son. I don`t buy the whole versus thing. One fluffed gear or bit of $hit driving and its an unfair representation. Youtube is full of it. I`ve seen stangs beating Porsches...

    I feel like I'm getting bored of the mustang

    I`m 42 and have had many cars. I get bored with them all. I`m not bored with the Mustang yet as i keep modding it. I will get bored though and end up selling it. Even though I`d love it if I didn`t. If the OP sold his car and bought a2011 GT he`d get bored with that too after a while. Such...

    Best Shift kit for a 4r70

    Good info there chaps. Yes, I was aware of the increased line pressure from using a tuner. I have a diablosport and can/have done this but not to full shift firmness as I was looking to `help` my transmission as well as make it shift better. The J mod seems the way ahead though. Just a case of...

    Bolt-on Performance : Best Bang for the Buck

    Best bolt on bang for your buck is none. They`re all crap. More like little `pop`for loads of bucks.

    Best Shift kit for a 4r70

    Not a lot of options available to me being in Europe. Not a lot of companies will ship here. Transgo any good? I was for buying B&M but can`t get a shipper. Any help appreciated. :nice:

    Intake manifold swapped now rough idle

    ^^ What he said, Bear in mind the inlet manifolds from PI sn95s are plastic so don`t go overboard with the tightening of the Plenum bolts. Is there a good seal between the Plenum and manifold? Did you use a sealant?

    Can you give me some tips about shifting the mustang?

    Oh, and its 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. You`ll automatically go through neutral to get to the next gear (in neutral the stick sits in the middle and can move around freely). You`ll pass this when you shift from 1st to 2nd. And again from 2nd to 3 rd etc. The car won`t stall as long as the clutch is...

    Can you give me some tips about shifting the mustang?

    You serious? Excuse me, I`m in Europe and find this a little amusing. BUT. You have to learn sometime so good move buddy. Anyways, If you`re not used to a manual but have driven one before then just take your time. Let the clutch out steady and feel the bite, you`ll hardly need to give it any...
