    Steeda Cold Air

    Many other CAI systems (JLT, C&L, etc.) also require a reflash and produce a proven hp and torque increase. Has the Steeda CAI been independently tested on a dyno by anyone yet? I haven't seen any results and the Steeda CAI was not included in the 5.0 Mustang CAI Comparo of a few months ago.

    WHERE IS THE NEXT 30HP???

    These 3-valve heads work! Check out the independent dyno test on these Livernois heads in the May/06 issue of 5.0 Mustang. They were good for 40 peak-to-peak hp and 20 lb.ft. torque on a bone stock 05 GT (maxed out at 312.6 hp at 6200 rpm and 322.8 lb.ft. at 4300 rpm) with excellent...

    '05 Transmission problems

    My '05 GT manual trans was clunking when casually shifting gears. When I took it in at only 1500 miles, they found metal filings in the pan and immediately told me I would get a new trans as per a Ford TSB. Car was in the dealership garage for over 3 weeks, but now the trans is fine (over 7000...

    Any manual transmission trouble with 2005/2006 mustang gt

    I took my '05 GT into the dealer to complain about excessive play in the manual trans and they ended up replacing the whole transmission under warranty (only 1500 miles on the car!). Apparently there was a TSB on metal shavings in the pan and mine had the metal shavings.

    BBK throttle body with JLT II CAI

    BBK 62 mm throttle body with JLT II CAI Has anybody out there combined the new BBK 62 mm throttle body with a JLT II CAI? Or any other CAI for that matter? Are there any problems doing this? Is some sort of a custom tune needed to make it work properly or will the standard JLT tune work? Any...

    Axel Back Exhaust opinions?

    WHERE IS THE NEXT 30HP???

    Apparently, Livernois is now offering a set of ported 3-valve heads for about $1495 exchange. According to the dyno chart, they are good for 30-40 h.p. and maybe more with other mods - perhaps up to about 350 hp total in normally aspirated form.

    Something loose in front end.

    Thanks. I'll try this. Hope it does the trick!

    I agree. I think the chrome letters right across the trunk lid looked much better than what they finally decided to go with. I also think the original recessed hood scoops looked much better than the black hood "vents" they decided to go with for the production version. Oh well.

    Dealer markups against the law

    I find it interesting that many of the people who post on this forum accept as a "fact of life" that dealers ask more than MSRP for a desirable new car (such as the Shelby GT500) and have every right to do so in order to make a profit. This is not the case everywhere. In Ontario (where I live)...

    JLT CAI installed...one question...

    Has anybody discovered what the horsepower difference is between a JLT with a 91 octane tune and one with only an 87 octane tune? Is it worth the additional price of the 91 octane gas?

    What wheel size suits you?

    I definitely prefer the look of 18's on the Mustang and they are sure to have a better ride than the 20's on typical urban roads. And then of course there's the difference in the price of the tires! As far as filling up the wheelwell goes, it's the overall diameter of the tire that counts, not...

    Something loose in front end.

    I Have This Noise Too! I have also had this clunking and rattling noise from the front end since the car was new and it's still there after 7000 miles. It is most noticeable when the car is cold and moving at low speed over small bumps and surface irregularities. It seems to be coming mainly...
