    Expired Frpp - K&n +tuner For '12 Gt Manual Trans

    Sorry about that. It's the FRPP Power Pack. It's the only tune that will not void the Ford warranty. I have just updated my ad and included a pic of the tuner & filter.

    Expired Frpp - K&n +tuner For '12 Gt Manual Trans

    I am selling my '12 GT 5.0 Manual Trans and am selling my FRPP - Power Pack separately which includes the K&N stock size filter and the ProCal Tuner. I called Ford Performance to find out what cars the tuner will work. It will work on any late model Mustang with a PCM number CR3A-12A650-ACA. My...

    Brakes Difference In Brembo Brake Pads From Gt To Boss To Boss Secca

    I did find out that there is no difference in factory pads for brembo brakes on mustangs from 07 to today with the exception of the new GT500. I have seen that some people seem to love the Hawk HPS, and others feel they are a waste of $$$. Any other suggestions? I am getting ready to run the...

    Recalls On 12 Gt? Suspension Noise In Front

    Thinking about taking my 12 GT in for some warranty work - my front suspension "klunks" on some downward drops in pavement so I thought I'd check to see if there are any recalls or other issues I should have addressed at this time. Only other problem I've been having is with the my-sync in...

    Drivetrain New Gears Or Engine Bolt-ons?

    I had a '95 and did the 3.08 to 3.73 switch and really liked it. MPG on hwy didn't seem to change at all. On my'12 w/Brembo brakes I decided to order it with the 3.55 as the 6 sp MT only has 6th gear as overdrive, not 5th & 6th as the Shelbys do. It works well for me on the street or road course...

    Brakes Difference In Brembo Brake Pads From Gt To Boss To Boss Secca

    Does anyone know if there is a difference in the Brembo brake pads comparing a GT Mustang to the Boss to the Boss SECCA? I friend of mine who has a Boss thinks there is a difference. After running the track at Grattan Raceway in MI, I need to replace my pads and want to upgrade. Also, any...

    Digital Tuning Ford Power Pack V K&n Cai

    Well, I had my 2 days at Grattan Raceway and had a BLAST! I added 3-mph to my top speed and cut 3-4 seconds off my lap time. I credit my increase in top speed to the FRPP, but most of the reduction in lap time to my increased proficiency in driving. The only downside I've noticed in the FRPP is...

    Procal Tune

    I really like mine. It's a great street tune providing more low end torque and throttle response, really waking up this pony. The shifting is pretty much the same. I had already unplugged the skip-shift, so that didn't make any difference to me (except that now I could plug it back in).

    Digital Tuning Ford Power Pack V K&n Cai

    About the time I took delivery on my '12 (Mid August) "Car and Driver" did an article called "Best Handling Car Under $40k" - October 2011 edition. They compared the Mustang GT, Miata, Mini, Lancer EVO, 370Z, & VW GTI. They tested the cars at Grattan. They rated the Mustang 3rd, but if you look...

    Digital Tuning Ford Power Pack V K&n Cai

    The track I go to once a year is Grattan Raceway and the event is coming up on Sept 15-16. It's a 2-mile road course with 11 turns including several hills. I just signed up for it and am looking forward to it. The event is technically a Driver's School, but it boils down to a lot of lap time in...

    Digital Tuning Ford Power Pack V K&n Cai

    I am loving the tune so far. It's amazing how much quicker it feels off the line, it's like a whole different horse to drive now. MPG seems to be about the same on the highway although I now have to use at least 91 octane. I recommend it, especially if you want to keep the Ford warranty. I...

    GREAT Engine Dress UP...Painted Coil Covers!

    Okay, this stuff all looks too cool not to try it myself. So how do you do the color in the recesses like lettering, etc.? I think I'd like to do my letters/numbers and recesses in either a dark blue (like my Kona Blue 'stang) or in red to match the point on the 5.0. Any YouTube demos or...

    Digital Tuning Ford Power Pack V K&n Cai

    Just had the FRPP installed yesterday and I have to say it's a different horse to drive now. It feels way faster especially taking off in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. MPG seems to be about the same, but I'll have to test it over time as it varies a lot based on wind and where I'm going. I can hardly wait...

    Digital Tuning Ford Power Pack V K&n Cai

    My decision has been made, I bought the FRPP today for $308 + shipping. Should be here later this week. I just filled up with 93 octane the other day so my car is ready! I'll post again once it's set up and I test it out.:cool:

    New Mustang Owner

    I agree with your choice of premium + performance package. Nothing wrong with the color white, either. You can always add a few minor touches to set it off a little, too. I added black vinyl to my hood going up to the hood scoop and then again on the panel between the tail lights. Your tail...

    Transmission/rear-end Fluid Change.

    A number of 5.0 owners believe that the 6M transmission in these cars is a weak link. I know it's made in China, so that means it's probably junk. I hope Royal Purple improves the longevity of your trans, or Ford may try to void your warranty for not having Ford approved fluid in there. Just sayin'

    Digital Tuning Ford Power Pack V K&n Cai

    Thanks Sparty92 for your post. There's a lot of good info there. I am still leaning towards the Ford Racing Power Pack mostly due to the warranty issue, but I am wondering how many Mustang 5.0 engines have been blown due to improper tuning. I am also wondering how well those Mustang 5.0...

    Tune

    I had an 06 GT Mustang and had a tune installed by a local tuner the dealer recommended. Ford had a recall on Mustang for airbag deployment so a small girl would not get hurt (so I was told). When I took it in for an oil change, I told them NOT to reflash my PCM because of my tune and they...

    Digital Tuning Ford Power Pack V K&n Cai

    So how much did you end up spending on that? Did you get more than one tune? If yes, what tunes did you get? What effects have you noticed on why mpg?

    It seems that Sparty92 is not too impressed with Bama Tunes, so why would I go with them?
