    3.73 gears & speed

    Test Drive I think I will take a test drive in one of the new 5.0 Mustangs with the 3.73 gears just to get a feel for how it performs. This should help me decide which gears, 3.73 or 4.10s will meet my needs.

    3.73 gears & speed

    I really appreciate your input, very scientific, I like that. I just need to figure what it is I want to achieve. I don't do a lot of highway driving so either 3.73 or 4.10 gears would work for me. I find that the 3.55 gears effect my low end torque at slower speeds. Just today I pulled...

    3.73 gears & speed

    Hey, I am considering 373 gears in my 06 GT and I got to wondering what to expect for performance. Has anyone ever timed their car before and after to see what the, let's say 0-60 time? Or maybe the time for 0-80? I know my 355 gears seem really slow from a stand still, until the RPM's get...

    Stillen Brakes upgrade

    Chris, thanks for the info. You have at least help me to have confidence in Stillen's products. However, I'm still not sure the Sport rotors will provide any better braking power than the stock Mustang rotors. Is it all about the fact that they are drilled and slotted, is that what...

    GT vs Z28

    I have an 06 Mustang GT and I would have to agree with you. In stock condition the Mustang is not as hot as an LT1, however after installing a good cold air system, like JLT and doing a good tune, like SCT, you would be amazed how well your car would perform. I made those modifications to my...

    14" brakes or not

    How did you determine that the 14" rotors would not if the bullitt 18s, did you use a template? I printed out a template from Baers web site today. Tomorrow I'm going to place it onto a piece of card board and then fit it into the hub of one of my wheels to see if I have enough clearance...

    14" brakes or not

    Thanks for you input. Yes, you're right the Bear 14 plus-two kit comes drilled and slotted, however you can order them just drilled or just slotted, not nothing at all. Your point about the clamping power is well taken and a concern I had. I want the real stopping power of 14" brakes not...

    Drone Solutions

    FRPP cams and 4.10 gears

    Hey, I have seen and heard so many Youtube videos of Mustangs idling w/ frpp hot rod cams I'm goofy. I'd like to have someone post a video of their Mustang GT on the street or the track and see them in action with these cams. Maybe some facts about how well they perform or not. Another...

    Exhaust Question: Need alot of Opinions.

    I can suggest only one axle back system, it sounds great with "NO" drone. It is all polished S.S. and warrantied for life. Fit is a no brainer too. This is a system you probably haven't heard of, the name MBRP. These guys hae been around for years making exhaust systems for trucks and now...

    Does anyone know whether the Bullitt Mustang has a different stock H-pipe than the stock GT. One guy on youtube says he is getting NO drone with FRPP Stingers P/N M-5230-5GT because of the difference in the stock Bullitt H-pipe. :shrug: If that's true I'd put that H-pipe on my GT so I...
