    Manual Gear Lockout

    Is there no gear lockout on the MT82 manual? I have twice now shifted from 4th to 3rd while trying to grab 5th. The first time I though I had blown the engine as I shifted at around 7400 RPM and the engine just shut off. It took a few seconds but it started back up. (Nothing like the feeling of...

    Mod Recommendations ?

    I would recommend the tuner. Or start looking into the suspension. How does it drive? Does it hook and go or is it a smoke show?

    Guidance Please New To These Cars

    So I am not new to Mustangs or racing or the fundamentals of how to get more power. But I did just buy a used 48K mile 2013 Boss. Normally I would have keep up with the tech and prevailing trends and I would know which to buy but it takes a lot of hard work and time to afford toys like this...

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    I have had my Shelby for about 4 months and I have driven it about 5000 miles. I get between 21 and 22 with about a 70/30 city/highway mix. I have seen 29+ going to Tampa in the rain babying it the whole way.

    Tampa Area Tuners

    I recently picked up my 7th stang and wanted some advise on Tampa area tuners. The car is a 2008 Shelby GT so it already has some of the Ford racing parts on it but from what I have read the tune is on the safer side. It has been a few years since I have been able to modify anything so most of...

    Clutch kit or not?

    I agree that in a race the less rotational mass the better. My car is not setup for drag racing, I just need it to get from one stinking red light to another. (To many of them if you ask me). Still waiting for this clutch adjustment pointer. I though they were "self adjusting" or had a range...

    Clutch kit or not?

    Ok, how do I adjust the clutch? And the aluminum fly wheel, I don't really think I want that for the street. I have read that the lose of weight, if not compensated for with gears can make the car harder to launch. Any opinions on this?

    Clutch kit or not?

    Ok, my 03 GT has around 50K on it now. The clutch is starting to grab pretty low, I can probably get around 5K more from it before it will really be bad. My question is how do I know if I should get just a new clutch disc or a whole new kit? And ... Starting cheapest and working my...

    Racer please read/help

    That is what I'm noticing. I keep track of my shift points (aprox. w/in 100-200 rpm). I have also noticed that I can run virtually the same times/speed going through the traps in 3rd or when i shift into 4th... anyone else notice that?

    Bore out TB?

    Here, Here white-04. I also like modding my car. I don't consider a S/C to be modding as most people can't put it on themselves and tune it to run right at their house. (I know some people will chime in saying they did it themselves, but most people take their car to a shop and pay to have...

    maf screen

    What would you suck up that the airfilter didn't stock but the screen would? I understand the principle behind your statement, I'm not picking at what you were saying.

    I am extremely SAD

    Could it be the mix and match of suspension parts you have. They are all great parts by themselves but together they could perform less than optimal... You make more power and overpower the suspension setup you have resulting in slower times. That would be a suspension issue and not a power...

    superchip?¿

    Unless you know what you are doing for sure (or if you have deep pockets) setting it to what they recommend is best until you can get some tuning help. A good tuner that knows their product might get you more.

    Wow, a bit touchy on this? Did someone steal your screen when you weren't looking?:rlaugh: If you read my openning post, I am trying to get put out a feeler to see if anyone has any new info. Obviously most mods that have been done to the 4.6l have been hashed and re hashed for the past 10...

    Professional Product Plenum & TB??

    I think if people would be more specific about what issues they have had with PP items it would help. I heard of problems is a hollow statement. They generally have the lowest cost stuff on the market so they are going to get the most attention from shoppers, just like walmart. Pennywise2 what...
