    2006 V6 Automatic Transmission

    The shift points can easily be vastly improved with a programmed tune using a device such as an XCal2. This can do much more than improving shifting, but that is one of the things it will take care of. A huge difference is noticed this way. My personal preference is Brenspeed.com. You can get...

    Tunes: Alternative Auto, Bamachips, Brenspeed?

    I'm surprised that not more people accpet that Brenspeed offers the best in XCal-2 tunes. Huh, I just figured everybody knew.

    '06 Convertible Tear In Top

    I had a similar situation. In my case, the outer canvas was detached from the lower right hand corner of the back window. They replaced the top. Been about a month so we'll see how it goes.

    But is the greatest potential for unsrestricted flow the best for performance?

    wheel swap

    I had a black SVT Focus and a black Honda S2000 and I love the look when they are fully detailed. You just can't beat the depth of shine you can get on a great black finish. However, after my S2000, I swore as much as i like them, I will never ever do black again. I just spent way too much...

    Is this Wheel/Tire Package worth 3K?

    Yikes! That's not too much less than a supercharger. If I could affort $3000 for tires and wheels, I would have a $40k car to put them on. I bought a new set of OEM 17" GT Bullitt wheels with Pirelli tires for under $600 from KarKraft. Leaves a lot of money for performance upgrades. But, in...

    New C&L Air Intake System now available!!!

    What makes this cone filter and tube different than any of the other half dozen out there. There's a reason no one CAI is able to call itself the HP king.

    new shoes

    Okay, I could have lived with those very nicely. A big step up from the stock.

    new shoes

    Those are what I went with also. Two reasons, I do like the bullitt look, but at least as important was I hate those 16" balloons that come stock on the V6. If the stock wheels were 17" I may have kept them. Also, the stock 16" tires have all the curve hugging prowess of a western flyer wagon...

    I tried my best on the flat as a pancake interstate through Illinois and Indiana and could not squeeze any more than 29 with prudent throttle nd speed and coasting where I could.

    Mods and Warranties

    You don't want to go in with the car’s computer program other than the stock program. If you use something like the Xcal2 for reprogramming, you can at least load the original/stock program before going in for service. No dealer will give you a separate warranty agreement based on the mods...

    4.0 procharger system puts out 400 hp

    180+/- rwhp x 1.65 = 297 rwhp. 210 flywheelHP x 1.65 = 346.5 FHP Regardless, these would be great numbers. But what am I missing on the 400hp claim?

    Another MPG Thread

    Just got back from a 2400 mile, all interstate trip from Maryland to Minnesota and back. Crossed the mts, rolling hills, and flat lands. Set my cruise control at 74 in a 65 mph zone and 78 in a 70 mph zone. Overall avg mpg for the trip (interstate driving only) was 25.5. I have heard others...

    New CAI?

    Apologies for sounding like a jerk, but here is no way in hell any CAI alone will render 20HP and anyone that advertises such tells me they are a vendor to stay away from. I don't do business with anyone playing a con game with performance parts, because if they will do it once, they will build...

    275HP V6 Anyone?

    Unfortunately, as interesting as this appears, it is all moot and of very little actual value without a verified dyno. Claims are like infomercials. You can claim whatever you want until it just gets too unbelievable. Do the dyno, then it will have value.

    What is best CAI with SCT 2 --- help please

    xcal2 with steeda CAI from brenspeed.com The programs loaded are identical for both xcal and xcal2, but the ability to have a visual interface and download updated programs was big for me.
