    JBA long tube engineering

    I put in JBA long tube headers. The outlet on one was too big. It was tough getting the passenger side though the opening. Passenger side, right by the 4:1 collection point, it rattled against the frame of the car. I told JBA. I was told I could send it back. What? Take it back out and send it...

    Supercharger 101 needed

    Where should I go to get the fundamentals of superchargers? I essentially don't know anything about them. I don't know anything about psi, the installation costs, the potential for damage/or prevention of damage to the block are, etc. Thanks.

    SpyWare-it isn't just here

    I've found that when I visit the various Mustang sites, this one included, that I get spyware out the wazoo, and even a Trojan Horse sometimes. I had to buy Norton because the AVG couldn't handle it. I also found that only SpySweeper was able to deal with the Spyware that would steer my...

    Flowmaster axleback sound okay

    I put on Flowmaster axlebacks (the black ones). Louder than original mufflers. I don't care for the volume at 20-40 mph, but overall, pretty good choice.

    An object of pity

    I have had the GT about 6 weeks now and have put stripes on it, shocks, air intake, SCT tuner, and yesterday, Flowmasters. I live in military housing. A neighbor woman walked by at 0830 and addresses the typical mid-life crisis bit of needing a red sports car, among other things. She said...

    SCT Xcalibrator 2 questions

    There are optional settings for: Spark 0-2000, or 2000-4000, or 4000-8000. What does this mean? What do you folks do? I notice after the highest spark setting option it says, "WOT Air/Fuel". I don't know what they're asking? I'll find out here real quick if our gas around here, which only...

    tuner rpm setting?

    XCal tuner asked what rpm to set to. I put the lowest- 6000 rpm. Do you folks recommend higher?

    Cervini's grille

    I love the Cervini's grill, but wonder how much of a pain in the rear it would be to install? https://www.cervinis.com/product.aspx?car=1&id=1208#7025

    4:10s with stock code M inferior?

    I read elsewhere that if there is a "M" code in the part number for the Ford 4:10 gears they are considered rejects. Supposedly they require special setup, but will still make noise. Then the guy said a "good set" comes from Twist Racing. Well, I had a Ford mechanic put in gears at his home...

    Tokico D-Specs strut installation

    I looked at this installation article. It looks like I need to take the car in because of the need to compress the springs? I'm just replacing the struts, not the springs, but to dismantle it they used a spring compressor. The rear shocks weren't too hard to put in...

    H-pipe stock on 07?

    Are my eyeballs fooling me, or does my new 07 GT have a factory H-pipe exhaust? Heck, all I need is new mufflers then.

    underdrive pulleys and battery charge

    I live 15 minutes from work, and about 10-15 minutes from most places I drive to. Do you think underdrive pulleys will fail to charge up my battery?

    CAI, tune, hesitation

    I installed the Brenspeed C&L CAI (very poor instructions, BTW), and tuner. It's a lot faster with the 91 octane tune, but I get hesitation when the car is still cool and I goose it. I suppose that may be expected, but I'm wondering if it's too lean? Opinions? I'll have to see if fuel mixture...

    add-ons are crazy expensive

    Why are add-on parts three times more costly than they should be? Really, why should a cold air intake cost $200+? Simple add on parts like a headlight splitter cost $100. This is even with competition for things like exhaust and air intakes. Production cost cannot be even half of what they are...

    suspension and the 70s look

    I am reading a lot of talk about lowering. Those of you old enough will remember the 70s look. That look was jacked up rear end (you could see the chrome covers on differentials), wide rear tires, and the mags with oval holes. Side pipes were common. Guess times have changed!

    4.10 gears in automatic done

    I had a guy here in Honolulu put in 4.10 gears in my automatic. Cost was $550. I'm surprised at how quickly it shifts. By about 25 or 30 mph it is in the top gear. Acceleration is noticably faster. What are you folks paying for the ring and gear? It is a Ford gear. I see I'm going to have to...

    racing stripes done

    I spent a good chunk of the day putting white 12 inch stripes, and white "Mustang GT" door stripes on my red Mustang. I used Baltimore Mods 3M stripes. It was laborious, but came out okay. I ended up with occasional ripples, but they aren't noticable from afar. Problems: It was really hard...
