    Mods and 05 GT 3v

    The fact that it will have an extra valve tells me that it will respond to boost a little more like the 4v motors do now. Also, you could try to get more displacement out of them (i.e. bored and/or stroked). Other than that, they have made good headway into creating the most efficiency...

    HP & TQ #s on the 05 GT

    I was at the dealership Monday talking to the service guy about a problem on my car, and we started talking about the 05s. He said that the stock 05GT would have 400+hp and just a little less tq. My understanding was that the GT would be right around 305 for both. Am I wrong or was he full of...

    Clutch question - conflicting opinions

    depends on how fast I need to stop. Most of the time it's C but some time's it is D:push in clutch and brake at same time while disengaging the gear. As far as what is best for the life of your clutch I would say C:

    Problem with EEC not recognizing Key

    I am having this problem where my EEC is not acknowledging my keys as being valid and as a result, the engine won't turn over...cranks like normal, but won't start. And while it's doing this the little "THEFT" light in the gauge pod flashes. In any event I took it in to the dealer on Monday...

    Steeda Shorty Headers? Anygood?

    Pretty much any shorties you get are going to be about the same...the steedas are probably just fine and you'll save a little $

    Rotors Need Turning, but......

    If you get on the stock rotors a lot over that 46k miles you could have easily warped them badly enough to be touching the pads...I've warped the $hit out of mine in just the last 30k miles and I need to go to a bigger slotted rotor here in the next month or so

    VT Stage 1 Installed!

    I wouldn't drive around with intake valve leak if I were you...if it is bad like you said and the valve is bent and leaving a gap during combustion you could have combustion up into the heads...VERY BAD NEWS Take the heads off and check the clearances...don't drive around if you have any...

    C6 cheaper than C5!!!, will this help keep 07 Cobra prices down?

    I'd rather see Ford make a Cobra that can go toe-to-toe with the Vette on road courses than see them try to under bid the Vette at the expense of performance and quality

    Are gears good for a first mod ???

    best bang-for-the-buck...don't go too big on them unless you are only going to be racing it though, I have a friend with 4.1s on his daily driver and he hates it...he's switching down to 3.73s

    HYPERTECH vs SUPERCHIPS vs DIABLO SPORT

    That's not entirely true. You can have any program imported into them that you would have burned onto a chip...and usually at less cost. It's just that their out-of-the-box capacity is limited to bolt-on level adjustment. But if you get any kind of power adder, the dyno shop can simply upload...

    Front end problems

    I have the same thing in mine when I am turning slow and tight...like when coming out of a parking space. I talked to my brother-in-law about this (he builds all sorts of different cars semi-professionally) and he explained that it was the steering rack but that as long as it was limited to...

    Bullitt suspension for 99+ GT

    My point was simply that it isn't a complete solution...you need more to work out the weaknesses in the stock 4-link set-up than just the couple pieces that come in this package. I wasn't aware of the spring rates, but spring rates are such an incredibly small piece of the equation If your...

    Cats or no Cats

    Make sure you've got some bite in that thing before you add all that bark... It's embarassing to pull up to the stop light sounding hella mean and get smoked by some kid in a boosted Honda

    HYPERTECH vs SUPERCHIPS vs DIABLO SPORT

    I have the Diablo and it definitely adds some HP and TQ...haven't dynoed yet but I notice the difference, especially at WOT. It does everything that the SCT unit does and has a little bit more adjustment capability I believe. As for using it on both cars you are SOL...none of the hand-held...

    Is an aluminum radiator worth the $$??

    If you have to replace your current one then I would say go ahead and upgrade, but until you have to replace it, your current one will do just fine

    F-1 Goodyear tires...........

    They are good tires and I would HIGHLY recommend them for a daily driver or occassional track use... I drove a ZR1 Vette that was running these and I couldn't believe the grip

    Bullitt suspension for 99+ GT

    IMHO - the bullit or mach 1 suspensions as upgrades over GT suspensions are just a cheap way of doing things If all you care about is ride height then go ahead, but if you are actually interested in having a car that handles well I would highly recommend going with a better quality suspension...
