    Which bolts to pull the calipers for pad change?

    i know this seems dumb but i went to change my pads and don't know which bolts to pull. I pulled out the two obvious ones i would normally pull doing a brake job but the calipers won't move. Do i have to take off the two big bolts holding the entire caliper assembly on or just the outer part...

    Cleaning K&N Filter

    The instructions say the filter should be pink after you are done cleaning it, mine is not. Has anyone here done this and was theirs actually pink or just a dingy pink when done?:shrug: Thank you.

    Comp cams Stage 2 and 3 questions

    Has anyone installed a cam in their S197 and if so what info do you have to offer? This looks to be a relatively cheap upgrade compared to an SC or Turbo. Do any of you have any idea what the install cost might be (I am assuming it is out of my realm of expertise)? Is this something you guys...

    Has anyone done 140MPH with 4.10 gears?

    Have any of you with 4.10 gears gone 140MPH? How was it if you did? Did the gears make a lot of noise or did you not notice anything? I am trying to decide between 3.73 and 4.10. Thank you.

    Hood buffet at 120+MPH

    I noticed when i travel at 120MPH and higher the hood starts buffeting and i don't dig it very much. I think hood pins look like crap and don't want the cables scratching my paint. Do you guys have any ideas how to solve this other than not going over 120MPH or using pins? Thank you.

    How much backpressure needed?

    I removed my mufflers and am happy with the sound albeit raspy but sometimes at low RPM it feels a little like my dirtbike after I pulled the baffle: less low RPM power but able to go from 2K-6K much faster. Does anyone know if a lack of backpressure with this setup could be a problem? Thank you.

    What about that Boss article?

    I want that Boss (I want a 69' Boss but I don't have the bread). Do you guys think they will produce it? Do you think we will have another sticker fiasco like the GT500? What do you think they plan on removing from the interior to make it lighter? Maybe 86 that useless backseat? I'm stoked...

    How difficult is LT-Header/X/Catback install?

    Can any of you guys recommend a high quality LT Headers, X Pipe, and exhaust combo that is both high yield as well as high quality and installs without cutting or anything drastic, like if i buy it all from Hooker/JBA/SLP will it all just fit together nicely? i don't care how loud it is, i have...

    Suggestions on rims please

    Can you guys give me a recommendation on what rims to buy for 06 GT? Primarily in terms of size but any brand/model suggestions would be great as well. I was thinking something 18x10 in the back and like 18x9 in the front. I have however not seen any Stangs in person with anything but stock...

    Straightpipes Exhaust Clip

    I took off my factory mufflers and installed a pair of straightpipes in place. This is a lot cheaper than buying SLP Loudmouths which are basically straightpipes anyway. $85 (without tips) instead of $315 for LM pipes. What do you think of the sound? I think it is a little raspy with a very...

    How much do 4.10 gears affect mileage and top end?

    Does anybody know how much the affects are of going to 4.10 gears from what i believe the stock ratio of 3.55 in regard to both fuel economy and top speed? Does having a manual trans have any relevance to decision? About how much are the 4.10 gears from FRPP? Thanks a lot.:shrug:

    SLP LM1 or LM2 and do you need a Tune?...

    Hey Guys, I want to put some SlP pipes on my girl but if I go with the non-muffled basically straightpipes do they backfire? Do i need a tune? Which ones do you recommend? I plan to get more mods and tune but money is tight right now so i am starting with just Axle back pipes. Thanks a...
