    new exhaust question

    If you don't like drone, get Corsas. I got mine and replaced my Magnaflow Magnapaks, which droned badly at 2K rpm. Now I have muscle car idle and sound when I want it and especially at WOT, without the drone I don't want. But, will cost you around $600, but there's no better solution that I've...

    "clunk" sound when shifting

    Actually, this is not true. The oem driveshaft is designed to conceal noise. I have the one piece, lighter driveshaft, and I still have the "clunk." However, it's not a major issue for me, and I consider it the "nature of the beast."

    "clunk" sound when shifting

    This is exactly what and when I sense the clunk as well on my car. See my mods.

    had a wreck in the snow

    Sorry about your accident. I am a 30 year year insurance agent and the owner of a highly modified Stang. A couple of pointers: 1. Read your policy. It is a legal contract and states what is and is not covered. 2. Most state laws allow you to take your car to the body shop of your...

    what are the stock internals rated at

    There's no set number, but the prevailing wisdom seems to be about 450 rwhp with a safe tune with airfuel ratios in the 12's and 8 psi or less.

    Roush Safety of 475 hp Saleen upgrade Tune?

    I had the Saleen tune removed and had it re-tuned on an SCT Xcal2, and my A/F ratios are now between 11.5-12, versus between 13-14.2 with the Saleen reprogram of my pcm for the 475 hp flywheel hp tune. The hp actually increased 20 rwhp with this safer tune. A GT 500 fuel pump system, Autolite...

    Weird starting problem! Any ideas?

    Car has Saleen supercharger with new HTO one step colder plugs and new GT 500 fuel pump. Cat starts fine in the a.m. at 30-40 degrees after being parked inside my garage, but after sitting all day in an open air parking lot at 50 degrees, it is very reluctant to start. It turns over, but acts as...

    Roush Safety of 475 hp Saleen upgrade Tune?

    Saleen did my work too for the same upgrade, but mine reads 14.2 from 2200 rpm to 3000 rpm and then 13 from 3000 to 6000, and they claim that's fine. Wonder why mine's so different from yours?

    Roush Safety of 475 hp Saleen upgrade Tune?

    Any opinions on the safety for the canned 475 hp Saleen supercharger upgrade tune on a stock motor used for daily driving with 7-8 psi and 13 to 1 air fuel ratios? The stock motor '05 car dynos 410 rwhp/390rwtq on a Dynojet. Otherwise, it only has a Magnaflow exhaust. Thanks!
