I just took my car (2000 GT) in for its spring maintenance before getting it on the road. One of the things getting done was the plugs, and I had a set of NGK Iridium IX, part number TR55ix, which according to their website is the right plug. According to other posts I found when searching...

To make a long story short, I have a T45 made out of 2 T45s. I've used the input shaft from one and the main shaft from another. My (first) problem is tons of gear whine. Is there any way to get rid of this? Heavier oil perhaps? My second problem is that it runs hot. After a few laps at the...

My T45 is dying quickly. For a long time, its been grinding the 5 - 4 downshift when the transmission is hot. This morning, by the time I got to work I couldn't get it into 4th at all. By the time I got home from work, I had lost 2nd and 4th entirely. Rather than blow a ton of money on a...

OK, I'm usually pretty good with math but I think I'm doing something wrong here because I can't get my number to make sense. I'm currently running 4.10's with the stock T45 in my 2000 GT. What are my actual ratios (gear ratio x final drive ratio?) right now and what will they be if I can...

I've had this problem in my Stang for a couple of years but it's just resurfaced because I haven't done much highway driving in quite a while. I have a 2000 GT (T45 trans). Under normal conditions I can run it up to fifth and then back down again no problem. Once it's been on the highway for a...

Just got my tri-ax in with the Ford OEM Bullitt Shift Knob. How do I adjust this thing to get it tight without it being upside down?

Just got my 4.10s and the Speedcal installed. While launching and braking, the speedo goes a bit nuts, the needle fluctuates all over the place, as high as 180kph. I'm also not sure how accurate it is, I haven' gotten the chance to really check it on the street yet, I only drove the car for 20...

I just got my nice little order of parts for my 2000 GT: C&L Plenum - not too impressed with the finish, I was expecting it to be smoother inside accufab 70mm Throttlebody - Nice looking part. Shiny. Steeda CAI - Yup. It's a CAI. Steeda underdrive pullies Steeda Timing Adjuster FRPP...

I'll soon be installing a timing adjuster and I'm trying to determine how much I can advance my timing with the 89 octane fuel that's available to me. I read about some guys with alot of timing advance, but they also run 90+ octane fuel, which I can't get in this part of Canada. How much...

On a 2000 GT, do the heads need to be removed to change the valve springs? I'm still debating between a VT engines stage 1 or stage 2 cam and it sounds like to valve springs might make a big difference in the install cost. Also, does 8 hours sound like a lot to change the cams? That's what...

I have some money saved up for some mods and I've decided on 4.10 gears for sure. Other than that, it's all up in the air. I'm looking at a complete intake package (everything but the manifold) that should get me around 20rwhp. How would that compare to a set of VT stage 1 cams on an...

RTM Motorsports up here in Canada offers a collection of parts claiming a gain of nearly 30 RWHP. http://www.rtmmotorsports.com/MustangGTTracPak.htm I'm looking at the second kit with all the C&L parts. My first question is will this be a better gain for the dollar than say Hooker long...

Does anybody know the part number for Denso or NGK Iridium plugs for a 2000GT? I've found some for a Crown Victoria 4.6 but can't seem to find them locally for Mustangs. I'd assume the ones for the Crown Vic would work but I want to be 100% sure. Can anybody confirm that for me? Thanks

I'm looking to start autocrossing my currently stock 2000 GT but I only have $2500 that I can afford to spend on parts. First and foremeost, I'll be getting 4.10's and a Tri-Ax. After that I'm planning on either the MM Road and Track box or the MM Sport Box and some go fast goodies, probably...

A couple of weeks ago of speed channel they were dynamically balancing an engine and singing the praises of how it would free up a lot of power and increase the life of the engine. Unfortunately, they didn't back up their claims with any numbers. Does anybody know how 'well balanced' the...
