    Kenne Bell going it!

    Looks good! What kind of intercooler reservoir are you using? Did it come with the powersteering relocation bracket?

    CarbonFiber Wheels

    Do not buy carbon fiber wheels. I'm not going to mention names, but a certain racing organization has banned a certain manufacturer's carbon fiber wheel due to repeated failures on the race track. Seems that the laminate that holds carbon fiber together looses it's strength when heated up...

    Droneless Exhaust setup

    JBA's, just a little louder than stock, deeper, meaner, and a little drone from 1600-1900, which I normally drive around. I hate drone, but the JBA's are very tolerable.

    What kind of vinyl for stripes?

    3M is a well known brand and reliable. Avery is also very good, as good as 3M, but not well known. A8 is Avery 8 year automotive grade vinyl. Make sure the vinyl is automotive grade, 2mil, and rated for at least 7 years. 3M also has some very thick, cheap, non automotive grade vinyl, so...

    255/50/17 fit?

    I like those Fuzions, how is the noise level with them?

    Old thread? Looking for new opinions!

    Xcal2. Love it, easy to use, looks good (does this really matter?), and is the latest and greatest with future updates in the work. Soon, it'll be able to datalog and change parameters without having to hook it up to my laptop. I took a 3 hour trip the other day, and datalogged all sorts...

    When is too soon to wax?

    The paint on the 05's is quick cure. By the time you get it off the rail, the paint is good to go.

    If the monkey is a trunk monkey, I'll lay odds with him. Nothing beats a trunk monkey. http://www.trunkmonkey.com/content/view/28/51/

    Introduction and question

    I have heard that an xpipe and chambered mufflers don't go well together, and sound very raspy. I'm pretty sure the Mac's are chambered. A straight through design muffler like Borla, Bassani, or SLP may sound better. Either that, or switch to a Mac H pipe. You should be able to sell the...

    Will I Need?

    Yes, the Xcal looks like a gameboy, and your tune is loaded on it, which loads it into the car. It also stores your stock tune. The tunes themselves are just computer programs, and can be bought from a variety of shops, vendors, or just about anyplace that has a dyno and an O5 Mustang w/...

    is 3K too much for axis gtr rims/ conti tires

    20's look too big on the 05 Mustang, IMHO. I would stick with 18"s, or 19"s at the largest. 20's start looking bling bling.

    How fast are you???

    Actually, I've heard the LS1 is a little quicker, and not really a drivers race. Haven't found one to race myself.

    No Functional Air Extractors On The '07 Shelby? Then No Shelby For Me!

    Cool, don't buy it. One more chance for me to find one.

    17 x 9 wheel/tire fit

    Looks a little too big and too bulgy to me. I think I like the 255/50's better. Just my opinion. :nice:

    Will I Need?

    Instead of dealer, I should have send "vendor". The Ford dealership will probably not have tuners or tunes in stock. My dealer is actually affiliated with Boss Shinoda, so they do offer all of their parts, but most Ford dealers will probably not have the programmers or the tunes. I got my...

    Cakiper Paint

    That looks good. I like the red, it makes it look like a set of high dollar aftermarket calipers, instead of a more "show" like appearance if they matched perfectly. Nice shine job :nice: , what polish/wax did you use?

    JLT CAI customers, please read...

    I got my insert as well, and installed it. I must admit, though, it was a pain in the a$$. Even though I had just snugged the filter hose clap, there had been some "shrinkage" of the pipe, and it was a serious pita to get the new aluminum piece in there. Would have helped if I had a heat gun...

    JBA Evol Exhaust

    I'm thinking about the Bassani X-pipe with comp cats as well. I haven't found a sound clip or owner feed back from someone with the them AND the JBA's. Let me know if you find something, I'm interested too. :nice:

    Will I Need?

    Yes, a novice can put on a CAI and instal a tune, very easy. Yes, you will need a tune. Tell your dealer (that you buy the Xcal 2 from) that you have a JMS, and he may include some JMS CAI tunes in the deal (all three 87, 91, and 93 octane tunes would be nice, maybe your dealer has the tunes...

    Anyone Else Using GTech ?

    I've got a G-Tech Pro RR. Check out my profile for times and sig for mods. They say it's pretty accurate, and I've calibrated mine so it should be within .1 of a second or less.
