    Who has problems speed shifting?

    Shifting and using clutch and not letting up on throttle is what I have always known as "power shifting" vs "speed shift" as slightly letting up on throttle but still changing gears as quickly as possible. Centerforce clutch kits have given me problems in the past on other vehicles that is...

    Underdrive pulleys!?!?!

    Ran UDPs on my '96 Cobra for a long time with no ill effects. Don't see why a '05-06 GT should be any different. Had the dealer install them, no problems.

    Off-Road H-pipe and Stock Mufflers

    I had the Pypes O/R H pipe with stock mufflers for a short time. It was LOUD and just didn't sound all that great. Really needs a muffler designed for a system without cats or a resonator in front of the mufflers to deepen the sound. To me it sounded like part of the exhaust system was...

    Engine oil question?

    What's wrong with the Motorcraft 5W20 blend (factory fill)? Are you getting bad UOA reports? Mobil 1 is synthetic not mineral based. Run M1 and change it every 10,000 to 15,000 miles. First oil change at 5000 miles is fine. BTW, the year is 2006 not 1956, oil quality has come a long way...

    installing eibach pro kit next week...any do's and don'ts ?

    The deal on the front end of these cars is except for toe they are non adjustable and this is becomming typical with many cars. Lowering creates more negative camber which could lead to accelerated tire wear. Dropping the car about an inch, you still may be OK camber-wise but why not just do...

    installing eibach pro kit next week...any do's and don'ts ?

    Use the sear..... naaa just kidding. Get a pair of camber bolts. Job is easy, I really can't think of any better watch out fors. Some will say replace the shocks/struts and if it's in the budget do it when changing the coils. My '06 with the Eibach Pro kit springs using stock shocks rides...

    notchy 2nd gear??

    Just drove an '05 GT with about 8000 miles on it and compared to my trans feels smoother shifting. Shifted real nice in fact. I'll just give mine more time (1300 miles) to break in. BTW, what's everyones opinion on the stock shifter?
