    Tune for CAI STEEDA

    Give Chris Rose at Tillman's a call. I live in the UK and he was happy to send me a tune for my TVS build last year... Andy

    help me choose: Roush tvs vs Kenne bell stage 2

    Sorry to contradict AutoX, but this is only true of the 2010 stage 3. The 2005-2009 Stage 3 has the exact same engine/blower combination as the 427R. The main differences are forged wheels, slightly differently tuned suspension, big brake kit as standard (optional on 427R) and some cosmetic...

    New TVS blower pulley from Carmen Goudey

    I am also running a set of Carmen's pulleys on my TVS. I went for the 8lbs option, which equates to a 3.75" pulley. As Shane explained, this requires some very slight grinding on the alternator bracket behind the pulley, but this is really easy to do with no adverse effect. My final numbers...

    New Magnacharger

    LOL. This is quite funny! The Magnacharger boost bypass valve works exactly the same way as the bypass valve on any other screw type blower. It is operated by vacuum, pure and simple. There is no 'special' way you can use the throttle to make it work or not work! On light throttle, when there is...

    thinking about a supercharger

    Actualy, this is not true. If you go with the Roushcharger (M90) that DiMora has, and have it fitted by an authorised Roush agent, you do not void your Ford factory warranty. This kit will produce 445 crank HP out of the box, which I know is not as huge as some kits out there, but it ain't too...

    Spark HIDs?

    Yep, that is very true. The first thing I did after the install was get the alignment checked, so no problems at all. BTW Nasty, just wanted to say, that TVS setup you have is mind-blowing. I am looking to get blown later this year and if I can afford it I will definitely be taking your...

    Spark HIDs?

    Honestly not a problem. As long as they are aligned correctly then everything should be ok. I certainly haven't had an issue with oncoming cars flashing me. Ultimately though, it is your call...

    Spark HIDs?

    Yes, that is the kit I have (Bi Xenon) I can only go by my own experience, but I have had them for 2 years and they have been trouble free. It took about 30 mins to install, and was completely plug 'n' play. As someone else mentioned, the hardest part is finding a spot for the ballasts! Just...

    Spark HIDs?

    I have these, in the Bi-Xenon 4300K. Absolutely awesome. 2 years trouble free so far.

    Installing front brakes on the rear.

    Might be worth looking at the Steeda option. They do a 13" rear upgrade kit that utilizes the existing caliper. Even if you go with the Brembo fronts, this would complement them really well. Steeda 13" Rear Brake Upgrade Kit - '05-'09 Ford Mustang Andy.

    Saleen (stoptech) 14" brake kit clear the 18" TQs?

    I fitted the Roush big brake kit which is also manufactured by Stoptech, but to get it to fit with my stock wheels (18" Bullitts) I had to fit 1" spacers. (See Pics) I bought the spacers from Welcome to TC SPORTLINE ONLINE*** and the quality is awesome. They are hub centric and wheel centric...

    Supercharger advice needed.

    Thanks everyone for your advice and comments. What you say here is definitely why I shortlisted the Magnacharger in the first place. Although the BHP figures aren't spectacular, the torque figures ar better than most, and in real world driving I think that is way more important. Also, I...

    Supercharger advice needed.

    That is a great help, thank you. Those are terrific numbers, much better than I expected. So I take it Steeda did a custom tune rather than using the tune that came in the box?

    Supercharger advice needed.

    Hey there. The reason I have discounted the TVS is mainly because my car is an auto. Also, I really have no intention of building a bottom end, so I'm looking for something that will work well with the stock internals and transmission. I love the idea of a Whipple, Kenne Bell, Saleen...

    Supercharger advice needed.

    Hey all. My car is an 07 GT/CS Vert. Mods include Full Roush Stage 2 suspension, Roush LCA's, Roush Big Brake upgrade, HID's, Ford GT Start Button, Pioneer AVIC-D3 Head Unit. I am getting close to thinking about going down the Supercharger route, but I have a couple of questions, and...

    Push-button start from Ninosport

    I did the FRPP one just last week. It took about one and a half hours start to finish, and is really easy to do. If I had to do it again it would probably take less than 45 minutes! The instructions really are idiot proof! It's probably the cheapest mod I've done to date, yet probably one of...
