    Thanks guys, that's what I needed to know. I can't wait to test 'em out at the track!

    Question about mounting 275/40 17 MT ET streets

    So I just ordered a pair of 275/40 17 MT ET streets to hopefully fix my traction problems at the track. I have a set of 17 inch stock rims that I'm hoping I can mount these on. I believe these are 8 inch wide rims?? I know it'll be a tight fit but has it worked for anyone else?

    First time at the track!

    I think I actually have a friend with an old set of rims off his mustang. That sounds like a great idea. I appreciate the advice! How much do the BFG's normally go for and where do you recommend getting 'em?

    First time at the track!

    So I just recently took my stang out to Firebird Raceway here in Phoenix. It was a blast and I'm now hooked but I was a little disappointed with my times at the track. Here was my best time of the night: 13.9 @ 103.7 mph/ 2.1 60' (very traction limited!) My question is what kind of tires...

    Problem with electrical system!

    I'm not sure if anyone has ever heard of this before but my car is having a really strange issue. While I'm driving down the road my gas gauge will all of a sudden read empty and the fuel light will come on. The engine light also comes on at the same time. Then the fuel gauge will randomly...

    All Black Wheels

    If I'm not mistaken those are black Saleen wheels. I'm not sure if they came black or if they've been powdercoated black. Do a google image search for "black saleen wheels" and you'll find a bunch of results. Maybe that can help you find the right style you want.

    Underdrive pulleys - worth it???

    Thanks for all the input. It looks like I'm adding some LCA's with my 4.10s and x-pipe. I'm hoping this thing is a rocket out of the hole now! I'm gonna think about the UDP and I might do them on my own or next time I take it in to get work done. From what everyone said I'm sure the pulleys...

    Underdrive pulleys - worth it???

    Hey everyone, I'm getting some FRPP 4.10s and a Bassani x-pipe installed next week. I already have a BBK intake, custom dyno tune, JBA shorty headers, and a B&B axle back exhaust. I'm thinking about also doing Steeda Underdrive pulleys at the same time the x-pipe and 4.10s go in but I'm...

    Bassani catted-x #46053

    Thanks for the replies. The clips sounded great. Great choices on your exhaust set-ups. I have JBA shorties and a B&B axle back right now and it's pretty loud (much better than stock) but I want it to have a meaner idle and absolutely ferocious when I open it up. I'm hoping this x-pipe can...

    Bassani catted-x #46053

    I'm wondering if anyone has the bassani modular x-pipe with the optional cat delete pipes (part number 46053). I'm looking at getting this setup and wanted to know how hard it is to change from the hi-flow cats to the race pipes. A sound clip would be great as well! Anyone out there have this...

    How many miles on your S197?

    I have an '05 GT with 9.6k miles. I got it a little over a year ago from the first owner. He only put 1.5k miles on it in 2 years.

    Upgrading to MyColor/Message Center

    I checked and I do have the wires already connected so I'm ready to go. I think mine was built in late '04. Now I just need to find a dealer and get it set up. Thanks for the posts guys.

    Horrible Gas Mileage! I need help!

    Well, the tune worked out well. I've only driven the car for less than a day but I'm getting better gas mileage already and the car maxed out at 301 RWHP/312 RWTQ. Not bad. It really kicks you back in the seat now! Thanks for everyone's comments on this thread!

    Upgrading to MyColor/Message Center

    Hey everyone, I'm looking for advice about upgrading my 4 gauge GT instrument panel to the 6-gauged one with the message center and mycolor option. I know it's possible. I've read about it. I just need opinions on where to order/install. Anyone live in Arizona that knows a dealer willing to...

    Horrible Gas Mileage! I need help!

    Alright, problem solved. The tune is definitely off. Car is running lean right now. I went to a Mustang shop in my area and it's going to be dyno tuned next week. Can't wait! Thanks for everyone's input. 15 mpg or less was starting to get on my nerves! I'm getting 278 at the wheels right...

    Horrible Gas Mileage! I need help!

    The oil was changed about 500 miles ago so it can't be that. It was getting bad mileage before and after the oil change. For those of you who have tuned your car what do you recommend that I use, the DiabloSport Predator or SCT Xcalibrator? Those are the ones I'm looking at getting. Will one...

    Horrible Gas Mileage! I need help!

    Thanks for everyone's input. I'm thinking about getting a quick check-up at a shop to make sure there are no clogs anywhere in the system or something like that. I'm also considering a tuner like the SCT Xcalibator or DiabloSport Predator. Anyone think those might help? Now to answer a few...

    Horrible Gas Mileage! I need help!

    Thanks for that advice. The gas isn't the issue as I've filled up at more than a handful of different gas stations and I always put 91 octane in it. I'll check those other things.

    Horrible Gas Mileage! I need help!

    I have a pretty serious gas mileage problem. I have an '05 GT with the usual light bolt-ons. I tested my gas mileage and it's somewhere between 10-15 mpg depending on how much highway driving I do. The air filter is fine, the car has only 9000 miles on it and drives perfectly. I am a college...

    X-pipe and other mods

    I have an '05 GT with an MMR CAI, JBA shorty headers, B&B axle back, and Hurst shifter. I'm wondering what other cheap mods I can do to give it more punch. I want to spend maybe 2-3 grand total. I'm gonna keep it N/A(forced induction is too much $$). Also, what kind of x-pipe should I put on...
