    How do I tell him not to sell his car?

    If I had bought a Bullitt in 2001, and I remember seeing them on the showroom floor (one green, one black), I wouldn't have sold it/traded it in. As it was, I bought a GT and traded it in two years later for the Mach 1. This one I'm keeping. :nice:

    Need *urgent* help - new 04 stang!

    A Mustang is meant to be driven, shall we say, agressively. :D Regardless, a "performance tune" does not mean that decent gas mileage becomes a thing of the past, or that installing a performance tune will turn an otherwise conservative driver into a speed maniac. I drive to work over a...

    question for Texas Stangnetters..

    That is true, because a tailpipe sniffer has never used on my 2003 when it's been inspected.

    Raptor Peformance Shift Light

    I'll be interested as well since I have a Raptor shift light that I haven't gotten around to installing yet. I am not a big fan of splicing into the OEM wiring, but it's necessary to do so in this case. Here's a link to installation instructions on Raptor's web site if you haven't seen this...

    gears

    I would be interested in how accurate the analog A/F ratio setup is on the LiveWire versus standalone digital A/F ratio sensors/guages/dataloggers. The exhaust gas temperature sensor (pyrometer) function on the LiveWire would be a nice addition however. I bought a Diablo Predator long before...

    question for Texas Stangnetters..

    They're still going to look more closely at everything on a car brought in from out of state, in most cases.

    question for Texas Stangnetters..

    On OBD II equipped cars they are only reading sensors and don't usually look under under the car, and they never have on mine. They always could though, and probably would on a car brought in from out of state.

    question for Texas Stangnetters..

    Cops aren't the problem, inspectors are. The Lonestarstangs site is limited to primarily to the San Antonio area.

    question for Texas Stangnetters..

    When you bring it into the state it will have to pass inspection before you will be able to register it. There are many counties in Texas that will not require you to have cats or pass emissions, but none of those are in any of the major metro areas.

    question for Texas Stangnetters..

    It's two years for a new car and then every year thereafter. Emissions testing per se is not done on OBD II equipped cars, except for a possible visual inspection to verify you have cats

    True, I somewhat wish I were in the market for a flash tuner today....they keep getter better all the time.

    Well put. Some people are always advising someone else to the latest and greatest technology when the device they have already is perfectly adequate. I personally would keep the XCal 2 and invest in the PRP package if I wanted a truly useful upgrade before trading the XCal 2 in on a LiveWire

    gears

    Congratulations on going with the 4.10's, you'll like them. Forget the typical posts about them "getting annoying real soon" and "hope you never see the freeway", as those are both, simply put, BS that's spouted out by someone in nearly every gear thread. Those of us who actually have them and...

    Need *urgent* help - new 04 stang!

    Understandable insofar as regular is $.20 cheaper than premium, but why not drive on it all day?

    Need *urgent* help - new 04 stang!

    That's the primary intent of a getting a tune for a Mustang in my opinion - performance. I would personally run exclusively with the 93 octane performance tune and not use the 87 octane tune(s) if I bought a SCT from VMPTuning.

    Need *urgent* help - new 04 stang!

    If you are seriously thinking about a SC ($$$) in the future, also consider 3.73 rear gears, but if you are going to keep the engine naturally aspirated, go with 4.10 rear gears. The stock rear gears in the 2004 are 3.27, and they are mounted on an open 7.5" differential. Power is delivered to...

    Predator DS Downloader - just for revisions or ???

    Correct, the Diablo tunes are essentially not user-adjustable outside of a Diablo CMR dealer equipped with the appropriate software. Injected Racing provided me with a excellent custom tune based on several sessions of dyno/datalogging information from my car, rather than a tune simply based on...
