    Custom tunes and altitudes

    Does anyone know if I were to take my car from San Antonio ( about 0-800 feet above sea level ) to Denver ( 5280 feet above sea level ) will I have any problems with my car being custom tuned? I have to use 93 octane, and that will cease around the time I get into New Mexico and Colorado, so...

    Anyone autocross their S197?

    Almost took mine out today, but took the SVTF instead. I'm not new to the sport, but I'd like some feedback on this particular car, especially if you're running an automatic ( yeah, I know, not the best tranny for this type of thing.... )

    CS rear bumper cover installed

    I finally slapped it on yesterday morning. Install was pretty simple ( how-to also posted ) aside from the wiring harness used for the side markers and license plate lamp. That sucker is riveted on.... Now to get the front splitter, I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with the CDC classic. Then...

    My car is slow!

    Dammit! lol.... Can't figure this crap out.....I install delete plates and 3.73's and the car is over a half second slower in the quarter now, and about 4 mph slower..... It's not a wheelspin or a launch problem. Something is up with the car. Question is ( I asked this elsewhere but...

    People with custom tunes

    Car's running about 8 tenths slower in the quarter than it was before installing gears and delete plates. I noticed the car's shift pattern seems weird, and it's hanging up on the 3-4 shift and feels flat, or not as powerful, from there. Once the car went into failsafe, and then 'reduced...

    Problem with the Delete Plates/Tune

    'Evenin' all... For the past couple days since installing the plates and the tune, I've been running into some issues. The other morning while accelerating the car went into fail safe mode and shut off. After getting it started everything went as normal and when I got home from work I...

    New Retroness

    gears and the automatic

    I'm ready to buy a set but I'd like some advice.... I thought about 4.10's but I'm worried about mpg ( the car is driven daily and I might be relocating somewhere where the commute is longer ). I also want to consider 3.73's. My question is, of course, How big is the difference with...

    Will Sirius retrofit into a 2005 Shaker1000 HU?

    And I'm not talking about plug-and-play units that use modulators. They sound like arse ( I have two ), and though I really like SR I'd like it to sound good too! Thanks!!!

    Shaker 1000 owners

    What have you done about the immense rattling caused by this badass sound system? maybe its just my car but my rear deck rattles a lot and I've just discovered that there's even more rattling when the trunk is completely empty. I have a couple heavy boxes back there now and I've just noticed...

    JLT Intake users

    Did your kit come with a specialized tune or one of the pre-fabbed tuned from SCT or Diablosport? If I already have the tuner ( Diablosport ), do I need to have a tuner create the new tune as I install the kit? Thanks!!!

    CAIs and Tunes

    I'm looking into purchasing the two seperately at a reduced cost. I'm wondering if I would still have to take the tuner ( Diablo Predator ) to a tuner when I install the CAI to get it all to be properly set up or if the unit's already loaded performance programs are compatible. Thanks all!

    Did a little something to the car

    haha... I started with the bare minimum.... As you know, Mustangs aren't all that rare, so all you can do to differentiate yourself with one is add little unique touches. Anyhow, this is a GT Automatic and this model year car is a retromobile so I figured a little throwback sounded like...

    Anyone using SLP loudmouths?

    I heard a soundbite and they sound pretty good.... I don't expect exhaust systems to usually add any power, I'm more concerned with sound. Loud systems don't worry me, but is this system TOO loud? I'm also considering the magnaflow system which can be picked up for about 400 shipped. Is...

    05+ vert owners....Need some honest opinions

    Good day to all @:SNSign: !!! I'm very near a decision to join you group of owners, but I'd like to know the reality of your experiences with it. I'm looking at a black '05 GT with the premium leather ( red ) package, 5 speed manual. I think it has about 8,000 miles on it. Anyhow...
