    Launch advice needed

    First time I went to the track it wasn't that busy so I got to run about eight times and finally squeaked out a 13.8 that night in stock form. Last night I only got three runs and not once did I have a decent launch. Now I have a JLT II intake and should be running better than 13.8 but never saw...

    My conclusion on mods, please review

    I have done endless hours of research on different mods and have come up with this upgrade path. These are listed in the order I will probably do them in with a quitting point somewhere along the line. JLT II CAI and Tune ($550) - The C&L CAI is also popular, but the JLT got 2nd place in a...

    What is wrong with my shifting?

    When I get on it and try to do a quick shift from 1-2 sometimes I hear something grinding like I am spinning a gear. I am trying to do quick shifts. When the car was brand new (1400 miles now) it would grab 2nd and lurch forward. But I am assuming the clutch is a little worn in now. What am...

    Was a stick the wrong choice?

    I had to buy a stick because it was available and had all of the other options I wanted. The car I ordered (which got turned into an '06) was going to be an automatic. The thing is the performance of the stick is basically the same as the automatic because the auto in these cars is a...

    Raced a WS6 in '05 Stang

    WS6 comes up behind at the stop lights and revs engine. Then we start onto highway where he pulls up beside me. About 60 revs and looks over smiling. Now I can't punch it from where I am because of a car up front so I get behind him and come up on the other side of him. About even with him I...

    05 GTs walked by Used Non-Modded Z28s

    I am really sorry I bought into all of the marketing hype surrounding the Mustang and the paid off mags. 0-60 in 5.1 and quarters in 13.6. Yeah then how come every story of a Z28/Trans AM ends in the Mustang getting walked fairly easily. So basically my car will get walked by some kid in a...

    First Oil Change at 5000?

    I don't see anything in the owner's manual about doing the first oil change any faster. I thought you were supposed to because of new engine metal flakes in the oil.

    Subs in trunk

    Who has installed subs in the trunk and what size can you go up to? One place tells me I can do 12" Infiniti. Another tells me the largest I should go is 10" subs.

    How to launch to get 5.1/5.2 0-60?

    How are the mags getting a 0-60 5.1 time? Are they power-shifting or just shifting into 1st and hitting the gas. Should I dump the clutch? Would I have to power-shift *cringe*. Should i dump at 2k or 4k RPMs or not at all. Should I ease the power into the clutch or just contact and dump...
