Ya right on that frpp junk bro. You must be on a Honda forum.
Have you done wanything else to your car? What is your opinion on the CAI? I have also heard about replacing the shifter in these cars, whats your take on that?
Nothing else is done to the car. My next steps are suspension and a shifter. And I'm with everyone else suggesting MGW. That is who I will be going with. Well worth the extra money.
How in the world would you get that much power at 1.5k. That's the dumbest thing I have ever read.
Bullet #4 contradicts #3. I'd believe #3 more.
To me doing the research & learning about the car is half the fun. It also gives a good excuse to get out & meet other Mustang people. So far I've only decided on the MGW shifter and Roush axle-backs + BBK X-Pipe. After that, still on the information hunt.
No it doesn't. #3 refers to the PEAK numbers where as #4 refers to 1500 rpm specifically. Meaning at peak numbers, there is a 7 lb-ft difference, but at 1500 rpms, there is as much as a 60 lb-ft difference. It's all in the wording.
Ah, missed that. Reading comprehension...No it doesn't. #3 refers to the PEAK numbers where as #4 refers to 1500 rpm specifically. Meaning at peak numbers, there is a 7 lb-ft difference, but at 1500 rpms, there is as much as a 60 lb-ft difference. It's all in the wording.
is it better to go with the staggered shelby gt500 wheels and tires or the brembo package 19" wheels and tires?
honestly, its better to go with whatever wheel/tire combo you like the best. it's your car so you should buy what you like.
I've got the MGW shifter on my 2012, best money spent on the car. I'm looking at the steeda cai & tune as well. I'm not going for the boss intake though - you will lose some low end torque/power (and it's beyond my budget).
American Racing headers are what Ford put on the Cobra Jet, so they must be worth it. they claim a 40 hp increase.
As for the stagger it depends on what you want out of the car - I have the brembo package, so same suspension & tires you currently have. I don't want the stagger personally because the car tends toward understeer at the limit already, and a stagger would make it worse. But if you just want to go in a straight line, a stagger will help put more power to the ground.
Let me know if I can get you that Steeda CAI & SCT X3 tuner with Steeda custom tuning.Yea I am on the fence with everything and wish there was just some expert to come in and tell me what to buy and how to install. I watched the videos on the MGW site and they are very informative. I will be buying the MGW shifter for sure. I also did a little more research on the Steeda CIA/ Tune and there seems to be a minimum of at least 30 RWHP and 20 lb/ft Torque on average so I think I might go with that setup over the FRPP. The only thing about the FRPP is I read that it adds 60 lb/ft torque @ 1500rpm and it doesnt void warrenty. But even then I think the Steeda is probably just as good
Don't get a CAI, you won't see much benefit.
