    Pics: 05 Roush w/ Steeda Cowl hood

    I just got in a Roush bumper not knowing that it doesn't come with the chin spoiler. Does anyone know if you can just buy the chin spoiler seperate and attach it to the bumper?

    Ram Air hood OTW, removal of washer nozzles...

    What brand hood did you get? I have been looking at the new steel Ram Air hood from Reflexxion and was wondering if this was the same hood you got.

    I'm not really worried about it. It's not really noticeable unless listen for it and I'm just glad to not have the whine that I did have. I just hope that it doesn't have anything to do with the bearing that he didn't change out.

    There is a slight hum that gets higher pitched the faster I go. I assume this is somewhat normal. It is a very slight hum compared to whining that the Motives had. The Motive gears would whine really loud just when I had the throttle on cruise level. With the Ford gears it doesn't matter if...

    Well the Motive gears are out and the FRPP in. They don't whine! I should have went with the slightly more expensive Ford gears in the first place. The mechanic said they lined up perfect and were very easy to set up (he also said the Motives were a pain to get lined up perfect). I know some...

    Well I was going to deal with it because like you said, the performance is what matters. Then it seemed like it has gotten worse lately when the weather got colder. I turn the radio up, but you can still hear it through the radio. It's not that bad for me, but sometimes I'll take someone for...

    I just got the FRPP "A" gears in and am having them installed this week. I had the Motives installed a few months ago and have some whine so I'm going to see if I can get some better results with the Ford gears. I'll let you all know how it is as soon as I get them put in later this week.

    Tire Pressure Monitor fault

    It will probably be easier for you to just deal with the flashing light. You will have to have a shop dismount all 8 of your tires. There are two ways you can switch the sensors to your 20's. First, if the shop has bands to wrap around the wheels and clips to hook the sensors to the bands...

    Difference in ET times with 4.10 gears?

    The 17's do NOT have more surface area touching the pavement. I can see why it would be easy to think that when both of the tires are 235 width, but the width is referring to section width (the farthest outer edge of the sidewall when it's blown up on a standard rim). With the 18, you have...

    rims ?????????

    Wow, that's a big tire! A little over 28" but I'd still say it would probably work condsidering the size of the fenderwells on the Mustangs now. The offset of the rim will be a determining factor though. If you're running less than a +30mm offset with the 10.5" wheel I'd say you could run...

    Difference in ET times with 4.10 gears?

    I was running 3.31 gears. I've tried launching at different rpms but I've found about 1500-1800 to be the best. After I got the gears it seems like I can't go over about 1800 and the tires try to break loose. It's an auto so I don't have to worry about powershifting, and shift rpm and I...

    Difference in ET times with 4.10 gears?

    I have an 05 GT auto with 93 performance tune (SCTII), JLT2 Intake, Steeda UDP, 4.10 gears, and Loudmouth axlebacks. I also have 20" wheels with 255/35zr20 tires. I went to the 1/8th mile track in February in sub 40 degree temperatures and ran a 8.74 at 81 without the gears. I went back last...

    How much air pressure in 255/35/20?

    That's the right info. 40psi is definately not too much air for a 255/35zr20! It might be for the factory 235/55r17, but not a 20" tire like that. I see too many of those tires with knots on the sidewall from low pressure to run less than that. That's coming from working in a custom wheel and...

    How much air pressure in 255/35/20?

    I run 42lbs. in mine. Most people are running between 40-50. The max is 50lb and I would suggest running 45-47 if you don't really pay enough attention to miss pot holes and stuff like that. Your rim will be better protected at the higher air pressure. If you are careful, you can get away...

    Wheel Offset Question

    I put 20x8.5" wheels with a +20 offset and they sit perfectly flush with the fender. I think it gives it a great look! The factory wheels sit under the fender about and inch and I hated that about them.

    Alright...I had the motives intalled by the local Ford tech the other day. The tech has been doing this a long long time and I trust him 100%. He said the install wasn't the easiest he's done and he showed me beforehand where the pinion gear was a little rough, but he said he finalliy got it...

    Yea that's the price I got. It was $299 plus shipping and when I called he said $330 shipped. I wish it was about a $30-$40 difference and I wouldn't mind but $100 right now is quite a bit to me. I'll make up my mind in the next couple of days and decide and let you all know how it comes out...

    So have any of you actually had any problems with the Motives?

    Tire Pressure Sensors

    I don't know about the sensors yet, but where I work we've got rolls of the steel bands they use and the clamps for them. You have to have a special tool to clamp them so you have to find a shop that can put them on for you. We've been using them for the new Fords we've been putting oversize...
