I just ordered a CDC Shaker hood for my 06 GT and was wondering if anyone cut the hole in the hood themselves. If so, any suggestions on what tool to use nd any useful advice to make it go smoothly would be greatly appreciated!

I switched over my stock motor oil about 3 months ago to Royal Purple synthetic. The car currently has almost 5000 miles on it. The problem is that when I went to check my oil I had to another 1 3/4 quarts of oil!!! The guy at the shop that I bought the oil from told me this was normal due to...

I just installed some Eibach Pro springs on my car. It looks a 100 times better with a more aggressive look. Only problem is scrapping the bottom sometimes, even on dips in the road. It also feels a little bouncy at speeds over 100 mph, which it didnt before the install. Can I get away with the...

Ever since Ive bought a new 06, I forgot how the steering is supposed to feel in a 5.0. Mine is really really light, I can steer it with one finger. Great for low speed driving, but not at higher speeds. I did replace the entire steering system,( rack, bumpsteer kit, hoses, pump, steering...

Im currently working on getting my friend's 2000 3.8 engine back to normal operation. It has almost 90,000 miles on it. Im having a problem with it detonating at higher rpms. Only modifications are a BBK CAI in the fenderwell, dual exhaust conversion to stock GT mufflers and MSD 8.5 Super...

I have already had my car completely shut off when I was driving twice already in the past couple of weeks. Once was when I took a turn and it shut off in the middle of it. The second I was waiting at a light and it shut off. This is serious, no jokes please. Its not a manual and the engine is...

I know Ford says to use 87 but will it hurt to use 92? Also, does anyone know if Ford uses synthetic oil in these new mustangs?

Im waiting for the wheels to come, they are 15x8's. However I dropped my rear about an inch and Im wondering if they will squeeze in the rear. Will they interfere with the tail pipes? They look dangerously close with my current245/17/40's, so Im a bit worried. I did remove the quad shocks, and I...

Im curious to know because I was punked by a late 40ish man in a 2004 Mustang GT at the stoplight today. By punked I mean he had an aftermarket exhaust and was basically revving the hell out of it next to me. He told me to rev mine but of course my stock GT was no match. Then he asked me to race...

Its a an AOD with 19lbs injectors, 190lph pump, fully upgraded exhaust with no cats, 347 stroker with a 9.2 compression, stock heads and intake but with 1.7 rr, and a ram air kit. I also have an a/c and smog delete. I have it currently set at 45psi with the vacuum off. Is this too much or am I...

I just broke in my 347 stroker and now Im looking to throw on some heads and an intake. It doesnt have to be emissions legal since I removed the smog equipment. Im looking for a good powerband between 1500-6500 rpms. Im looking for more mid-high rpm power since I have more torque now. However I...

I just upgraded my bottom end to a 347 stroker. My car is still a speed density with the stock 19lbs injectors. Problem is that everytime I start the car up it runs really rough until I drive about 10 miles and then the car starts to run okay. I think the computer is going crazy, the car will...

Im finally throwing in a 347 stroker after snapping my crank a few months ago. I still have the speed density setup and was wondering will it be compatible? If not, what can I do besides switching to MAS? Thats about $600 from FMS, plus Im would change the MAS to a bigger one and to also be...

I basically blew out my bottom end this weekend using nitrous. Dont know if the timing was off or the internals just are old. Since I have to replace the whole bottom end due to everything blowing up, I decided to stroke it. Ive decided on a 347 stroker kit from CHP, the one that retails for...

My car starts up fine when its cold. However after running it and its hot, it wont start unless I pump the gas pedal /and or turn the ignition on and off a few times. The entire ignition system has been replaced, I just replaced the distributor last week. Im guessing its the fuel system. Anybody...

Will it work with the stock speed density computer? My injectors are going but I dont want to replace it with the 19's since I will be supercharging it soon. Do I have any other options?

I know Im supposed to gap my plugs lower when running nitrous but with an MSD box they recommend at least a .55-.60 gap. I drive my car always on the street and the strip on the weekends. Currently the timing is at 10 degrees and the plugs are gapped at .55. Im running a 125 shot now but...
