    Who's got 9.5 up front?

    I'm plus-sizing my S197 to 18". I don't want to stagger. So I'm debating 9.0 vs 9.5. Who has 9.5's up front, and have you had any issues? Do they fit OK? I'll have some Nitto 555's on all 4 corners, 285/40. Those Nitto's are a bit on the narrow side, and should fit really perfectly on that...

    Southern California full service shops?

    Being the relative noob I am, I've recently discovered the difference between real tuners and installers who have dynos but just use canned tunes. I'm trying to find the closest real dyno tuner who also has a full install shop. Someone who can do it all, and well. I know ST and DPR are great...

    Upgradability of the Saleen supercharger?

    For positive displacement superchargers I'm leaning toward the Saleen. I'm not really a Saleen fan per se, but I just like the compact design and not having to install a big intercooler. Oh, and I think it has the best sound The downside is, at some point I'll want more boost out of it. When...

    Nittos on 18" bullits?

    Remind me...I searched but surprisingly did not find any threads, although I'm sure I've seen at least one. Is there a 555R that will fit on the 18" Bullit wheels? You know, the ones they have at MustangTuning.com and elsewhere, very common. The wheels are 9" wide, and Nitto's chart states the...

    Southern/Central California Installer?

    Well Monday is the day, I will be making phone calls to talk to installers. I will be starting with a PD blower, most likely Saleen. I've talked to Joe and Chicane briefly and he comes recommended. I also notice Granatelli is really close to me (Santa Barbara) and I am looking for feedback on...

    Southern Ca tuner?

    OK, I'm sick of playing make-believe on the forums. Time to pull the trigger. Thinking a PD blower, snow intercooling, CAI and more...possibly a stroker kit with forged internals to mate with high boost. Anyone have experience with Installers/Tuners in the SoCal area? I'm in Santa Barbara, so...

    Gears for turbo?

    Howdy folks, Why is it that you will sometimes hear a recommendation to stay with a relatively mellow gearing if your power-adder is a Turbo? I have no experience with power adders, but it seems to me that a nice set of 4.10s would be ideal when mated with a turbo. The gears for power down...

    It it doesn't suck, it's not an intake

    When are we 2005 owners getting a real external intake setup? We don't have one now. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. Here's my take: - CDC "Shaker" System: It uses the factory airbox, for one. More tubing=more heat and less density. But the real problems I see with this unit is that...

    Mods and the Ford Technology Initiative

    Does anyone have any info on how, if at all, the Ford "technology initiative" between them and certain aftermarkets such as Steeda affect warranty issues? Are there any official mods that definitely do not void/affect the factory warranty? For more info...

    Handles like a crippled elephant

    Well, ok not that bad. Here's an excerpt from a review at a site I frequent. The URL for the full review can be found at http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/content/110808092334068140/ "To keep costs low, the Blue Oval’s Bean Counters decreed a continuation of the Mustang’s live rear axle...
