    Spring 2009 Build

    I haven't posted here much lately as I've been busy on a major build. I bought my 07 GT coupe two years ago and did a bunch of cosmetic mods right out of the gate. Last year I installed the Whipple HO at 10psi and upped the fun factor a bunch. After burning up the stock clutch, I decided to...

    Glowing Headers

    I just installed a 298 stroker, ported heads, blower grind cams, and Kooks longtuber headers. I'm driving the Whipple HO with a Steeda 10-rib which should yield about 15 psi. After the build, the car fired up right away with a custom tune from my tuner. We adjusted the tune based on the short...

    Street Scene Main Grille

    I just bought a Street Scene main grille with center fogs (black chrome) and am trying to swap over my fog lights. The mounting points on the grille for each fog don't even come close to lining up with the screw positions on the fog light mounting brackets. Has anyone installed one of these and...

    Dedicated Drag wheels/tires

    I'd like to build a dedicated set of wheels/tires for drag racing. My car is lowered 1.5" all around and so far I have the stock brakes but would like to upgrade them. I also still have the stock 3.31 gears and plan to go to 3.73's. Does anyone have any suggestions for combos that hook...

    Engine Build

    I have an '07 GT with a Whipple HO running 10 psi boost. I also have a second '07 GT engine with 5200 miles (bought it out of a wreck). I've been thinking about putting a rotating assembly into my second block this winter and then swapping it in. I would do cams and valve springs at the same...

    Wrapping the Speedo

    Is there a maximum physical limit to the speedo? I've had mine to the 150 mark and could have gone higher but wasn't sure if would damage the speedo or not.

    Hurst S/T Thread Pitch

    I want to change out the shift ball on my Hurst S/T for one with a line lock button. Anyone know what the thread pitch is on these? I think I saw somewhere here that the pitch was changed for the 05+ 5-speeds. :shrug:

    Passenger Side Water Leak

    I've got a buddy with an '05 that has water getting in on the passenger side. I thought I saw a thread here that had pics etc for a similar problem. Can't seem to find it now. Anybody know where it might be? If I remember right, the thread starter tracked the problem to the water channel at the...

    Whipple Install Dyno Results

    Following up on my Whipple install thread, I spent a very enjoyable afternoon at the dyno today. By the end of a methodical custom tuning process, we acheived 411 RWHP and 395 ft-lbs of torque at a max boost of 10.1 psi. on 91 octane pump gas. The runs were made on a Mustang chassis dyno...

    Suspension Mod Ideas Needed

    When I bought my car from the dealer it had already been lowered (Groundforce lowering kit) and had the 20" wheels/tires. I've installed the Whipple and now would like to be happier with the way it handles. I've been thinking about caster/camber plates and the FR3 handling pack. The STB that...

    AVIC D3 Antenna Location

    I'm planning to swap out my Shaker 1000 head unit for an AVIC D3. Has anyone tried putting the NAV and XM antennae under the non-functional hood scoop? I have a vista blue '07 GT. I haven't got the dimensions but by the looks of the pictures on here they should fit. I don't really like the look...

    Wideband AFR Sensor Location

    I'm installing an Autometer wideband AFR guage and am looking at locations for the sensor. Can the sensor be mounted just after the cat or does it have to be between the manifold and the cat? Anyone?
