I installed the new DW300 and it was fairly drop-in except the stock strainer refused to come off, and left the metal ring on the stock pump. I couldn't quite get the strainer to fit, and managed to nick the element a little. I couldn't find a replacement strainer in time, so I slapped the old...

I was reading Department of Boost's page about motor mounts and why we should use them... The BMR MM007 looked interesting to me, but when I went to check my engine bay for clearance issues, I noticed my stock manifolds are about 3/4" from the steering shaft. Has anyone else run into any...

I already roughly know what flow rate I need, 214 lph, to support roughly 550-600 hp. I'm hearing conflicting data on how much the stock 3V pumps flow. Some say 110 lph, some say 4 lb/min, others say that Ford used the SVT Focus pump at the factory. The Shelby GT (which is supposed to be the...

How do I know how much to adjust the boost-a-pump with the stock pump? How much overdriving is too much on the stock pump? I think I'll need twice as much flow as stock if the stock is truly 110 lph! If I go to an aftermarket pump like a Walbro 255, will I need to retune the fuel pump settings...

What high flow drop-in replacement fuel pumps are available for the 05-09 S197 GTs? I see that most blower kits include a fuel pump that requires cutting/splicing the stock wiring harness to slip in the replacement, or to have a piggyback fuel pump. I'd rather much just swap out the entire...

I changed the fluid and the Redline High Temp quiets it down significantly. I found that the lower boot was completely torn and deteriorating possibly due to the trans tunnel heat. It is not covered under warranty and their replacement boots are the same material. I also found that the clunk...

Engine and trans mounts looked solid. I don't rest my hand on the shifter. It looks like the Hurst Billet lower bushing (the rubber boot on the bottom of the spherical joint that faces the driveshaft) is torn.

My 2007 GT w/ TR-3650 has just under 20k miles (bought new in 2006). I noticed this year that the shifter makes a harsh clunk/cracking sound during takeoff from 1st gear (just an easy take-off, like pulling away from a stop sign while turning, etc...) and 2nd gear. If I jab the brakes hard, the...

My 2007 GT manual still has the original factory Pirelli's (235/55R17) with the original 17" Bullitt wheels. I was thinking of eventually doing a blower install. Will I need a new clutch and flywheel? I'm thinking twin-disc clutch? Any recommended brands? Should I upgrade the front brakes to...

I saw a few threads on this from awhile ago, and wanted to check to see if anyone knew of a more detailed thread with better photographs of where to cut/mod the GT500 splitter. Did anyone have to drill/cut the stock bumper to make this work?

I noticed that some people with pre-07s had to cut the center tab because there wasn't a hole for a retainer. My 07 GT recently had the rear bumper installed and it luckily had the hole for the center tab. However, the tab doesn't fit extremely tight. I even bought an oversized 1/2" retainer but...

Which brand of body-colored mirror inserts would you recommend for my 07? I have Vista Blue. I was also wondering about the long-term durability of the adhesive used to stick to the plastic covers. How should I prep the plastic covers? Are there any problems with these?

The 3.5mm aux input jack was useful 10 years ago. Today, no USB port means it is a worthless system. I have to burn songs onto CD for my Shaker 500, talk about 1990s technology.

The 3650 was designed to use Mercon ATF. I am using Redline High Temp ATF in my 2007 3650 with excellent results in cold weather and hot weather.

In the C&D article on the 5.0 engine, it said Ford skipped a full 12 month prototype phase to fast track this engine. I don't know about you, but Ford doesn't exactly have the best history of making awesome products during the initial roll out, especially if they skipped a full year of testing...

The 2011 V6 is probably going to be slightly slower due to the reduced torque. I do like the 3.7 though, especially when it was first used in the 2008 Mazda CX-9. I've been saying that Ford needed to ditch that puny 4.0 for awhile, even the 3.5L would have sufficed. They said the 3.5/3.7 family...

The 10-up are expensive, so I'd hope they look expensive to their owners. $30k-$31k starting for a stripper 2011 GT.

The 05-09 always looked like a Mustang from far away. There was no confusion, just like 94-98, 99-04, etc... except the 10-up looks like a 96-98 from afar in the dark IMHO. I also saw a black 2010 GT that was dirtied from salt. I thought it was a 05-09 at first. They really didn't do much to...

This morning was the first time I saw a 2010-up Mustang in the dark. From about 1/8 mile away, the tail light configuration made it look a LOT like a 94-98 Mustang due to the rounded top outer "edges" of the brake light silhouette when it lit up. I thought it was a 94-98 until I got up close and...

If you do intend to hose down the motor, AVOID the coil packs at ALL COST. If you've detailed cars this way for 50 years, fine - just understand that every Ford modular engine has very sensitive coil packs. A little water down into the spark plug wells will spell death for the COP coils and...
