    ProCharger issues, could use some help...

    Hey folks, I've been having some issues with my ProCharged GT. I took my car to a shop a little while back to have 3.90's and a NX Ntercooler spray bar installed and when I got it back and drove it for a bit, I noticed the bypass valve was no longer discharging like it used to. I don't think the...

    Some new "Glamour Shots" of my Mustang

    I just wanted to share the latest shots of my ProCharged 05 Mustang that I took this evening. Finally installed hood pins and realized I hadn't taken any pics of it since the install. I hope everyone digs em! Kris

    427.9 rwhp on my 05

    Just got back from a dyno session with Greg from Racer's Edge Tuning (www.racersedgetuning.com) and boy, what a difference! The final numbers were 427.9 rwhp and 348 rwtq which is pretty freaking sweet. That's all on 91 ocane and stock internals! The car is pretty insane now. Feels really...

    Security for our Mustangs.

    Hey folks, Last Thursday I had a car stolen right out of the parking lot where I work. Thankfully my Mustang was at home awaiting a tune and I drove my 84 El Camino SS. I'm not saying it's okay or that I'm glad it was the Camino, but from a value point of view, it is just better. Anyway, the...

    So CLOSE I can freaking taste it! Argh!!!

    :fuss: :fuss: :fuss: My Procharger showed up on my doorstep this morning. :banana: :banana: :banana: But the shroud that comes with the kit is still lost in FedEx land and won't be here until Monday. :damnit: Just my luck. Looks like I have to wait another week.... Hope...

    Boost and air/fuel gauges a MUST for S/C?

    I'm planning on installing my ProCharger this weekend and just remembered that I still haven't ordered/installed boost/vacuum and air/fuel gauges in the car. Will this be a big problem? Will I want to have these gauges as soon as I install the system? Thanks for any help! Kris

    Just ordered my wheels!

    So after a lot of deliberating, I've decided on a set of Forgeline wheels. They are beautiful 3-piece wheels and I think they will look great on my car. I ordered them with a gunmetal center and a polished lip in 19x9 (+35mm) and 19x10 (+45mm) and plan to run 275's and 295's. Here is a...

    Pretty heavy vibration at idle?

    Over the past few weeks I've experienced a pretty noticable vibration coming from my car, most notably at idle or at really low speeds. It's not constant, it actually kind of surges. At first I thought it was coming from the power steering since it did it when I turned the wheel, but now it...

    Any downsides to smaller overall tire height from stock?

    I'm planning on ordering my wheels today. I decided on 19's over 20's since the selection of tires for 20's really seems to suck. I want to run at least 255's in the front and 295's in the rear, and if I want to do that on a set of 20's, it means losing about an inch to inch and a half of...

    Do wheels make or break a car?

    I'm in yet another dilemma with my SEMA Project. First the hood, now the wheels... My budget took a bit of a hit this weekend when I took my 71 Chevelle back to the paint shop for an overhaul and new paint job (it needed it, BAD.) Unfortunately, the part of my budget that took the hit was...

    Torn on which hood to go with...

    Okay, this might be another throw-away post, but here goes: I'm finishing up the body mods for my 05 SEMA project. The mechanical mods are going on over the next few weeks (14" Wilwoods from Precision Brakes, tires, wheels, ProCharger, etc.) but I need to cap the body mods off with a custom...

    Precision Brakes Company

    Hey folks, I just wanted to make a post about one of my sponsors, Precision Brakes Company. They have been kind enough to set me up with a set of brakes for my Mustang SEMA Project. There hasn't been too much buzz around here about upgraded brakes, so here's some info on the setup I'll be...

    Some pics of my Street Scene kit/spoiler.

    Hey folks, I just wanted to post some pictures of my 05 now that is out of the body shop. The good folks at Street Scene set me up with their AWESOME body kit. This thing fits like a glove and is made out of urethane. I was a little skeptical at first because I've seen how some body kits fit...

    ProCharger and Strut Tower Brace not compatible?

    Just doing some shopping and I've been considering buying the BMR Fab strut tower brace, but realised, it might interfere with the intake pipe for the ProCharger that I am installing. Anyone that has a ProCharger out there, could you give me an idea of whether or not they will be compatible...

    Lowered my GT and took some "beauty shots"

    I installed my Eibach Pro Kit springs yesterday and did the Diablo Sport 91 Octane tune, so I went out and took some pictures to further document the customization of the car. I hope you all enjoy the pictures! Kris Horton

    Total cost to lower my Mustang with Pro Kit?

    I'm planning on getting my car lowered this weekend. I plan on buying the springs and having them installed at the same place. I just wanted to get an idea of what I should be paying to make sure I'm not getting screwed too badly. Can anyone tell me what they paid for the springs and...

    Blower plus Nitrous on stock internals?

    Okay, I know this sounds like a bit of a stupid question, but I have considered running a centrifugal blower (most likely a ProCharger) on my car as well as a small dose of nitrous. I see the Zex kit and it's awefully tempting, but my main dilemma is the effects of nitrous. I have heard and seen...

    Rear end gear swap changes emissions???

    Dropped by the dealership today to pick up my GT from the body shop (all better now!) and thought I'd ask about ordering up some rear end gears. I talked to the service manager about it. She looked at me as though I was insane for wanting to do something like that to a brand new car. She checked...

    My car got violated today...by a semi.

    While I was at work today, one of the guys that works in the warehouse attached to our offices came to me and said "your car got hit. A container hit it." I figured maybe a trash can rolled into it. Nope. It was a container attached to a truck. The guy wasn't watching his mirror and rolled one...
