Good Evening All,

I've just bought a 2002 Mustang GT 5 speed, and figured I'd come to the experts for advise.

I've noticed when shifting the RPM's seem to hang for a second or so, and even rise 100-200 rpm while shifting (foot off accel...) Is this considered normal operation, or should I run this thing back to the deaer before the warranty expires? It also seems to hang just a bit when you blip the throttle from idle.

The car came with Flowmaster exhaust (Mufflers Only), and I am considering the Densecharger intake kit. Any opinions?

Any idea if any there is any noticable difference to be had with the 70mm throttle body?

Thanks in advance for any advice that you may have

My rpm's hang for a little bit too when shifting ...and it does it at idle.... same as you said....Blip the throttle at idle and the rpms go up...hang a little and fall really slow. I know you can fix it somewhat....i've heard from people that they did something to change it(but i don't know what )

The RPM hang is normal, it's for better emissions. Forget the CAI for now, not much to be had there. Get an upper plenum (Accufab, C&L, Dragon) to go with the throttle body to see some gains.

Try this thread : http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=451080 for a cheap mod. Its supposed to make your rpms drop as soon as you depress the clutch. I'll be trying it this weekend.

You will barely feel a CAI unless you get a new MAF, plenum, and TB. DO them all together. By the way, do not worry about the RPM hang. It's very normal, in fact Ford designed it like that on purpose.
