    Hydracarbon Trap Removal

    I have not heard of any testing on that but I would SPECULATE that it would not be a bad thing (probably not get you any gains either). As long as you leave the MAF, Inlet Tube alone (leaving in the HC Trap), then it would simply make the intake a little less restrictive - but the meter would...

    Hydracarbon Trap Removal

    The K&N did not lean out the A/F ratio AS MUCH as the MMR kit is doing. The K&N filter is also not opening up the MAF wider than stock like the MMR. The meter is reading the same air rushing by the meter based on air velocity but there is MORE air going past the meter - so the meter is not...

    Steeda cold air vs MMR Annihilator Intake Kit

    Do a search on the MMR Kit and you will get some useful info on WHY you need a tune (or why not - depending on who you think is more accurate). If Steeda says you need a tune with their kit, then it must be true (based on their testing, the A/F may have been too high).

    In car videos?

    I have one from the Ford Innovation Drive. If someone will host it, then I will send it to them. PM me if you want it in an email.

    05 Mustang GT Handling probs

    Not normal... Take it to get it checked. If need be, get a second opinion from another dealer - one that did not sell you the car.

    Decisions, Decisions, Decisions?!

    Being a drag racer, I, too, would choose the 97 Cobra (if it was MY car) over the 05 Mustang GT. My reasoning is that with the monetary savings, I would be able to drop some serious coin into the motor (like a power adder - turbo or supercarger) or get a built motor from VT Engines...

    WHEN do you think we will find out about SE's?

    According to the North American internation Auto Show (www.naias.com) Ford will have quite a few debuts (the Shelby GR-1 Concept and the Fairlane to name two) but there is nothing there stating that any SE's will be there. One thing to note is that there is an asterisk(*) beside their name...

    k & n cold air intake

    So you got 275 just with exhaust? Sounds a little high but there are irregularities in the numbers - as many have reported upwards of 280 hp... I did not come to argue your your results, rather, I have a couple of questions about the K&N. If they use the same Mass Air Sensor, how is this...

    Tuning

    Normally, the tune would be done while reading the A/F ratio with a wide-band meter. Most of the SCT people have tested already so they know about where to start and then fine tune from there. You would probably be a little safer with a mail order tune but I think that nothing beats a good...

    Burning smell from under car

    Had the same smell. It is most likely the packing grease burning off the exhaust. it went away after a couple hundred miles. I am gatting ready to send up a video of my Dyno Tune to ModularDepot.com which shows HORRIBLE smoke coming from the new Magnaflow Cat-back exhaust. it is nothing to...

    After market vender advice please

    I am going to give MGW a call today and see what they have to offer... if anything. Or at least find out if there is anything in the works. They are probably the best quality that I have found anywhere on dress-up items (plus they are nice folks, too). I will post back when I get off the...

    After market vender advice please

    The A/C Knob question. I have tried the Steeda and the UPR peices. The Steeda pieces have a giant Steeda logo at the bottom which turned me off. They were so tight that I had to use pliers to get them back off. The UPR pieces were great except for the fact that the light does not shine...

    Hydracarbon Trap Removal

    Are these the questions? I was actually telling the 2005 Mustang GT owners where they could find THEIR computer code without having to go to an aftermarket parts supplier to find out... So they could have some sort of hand in their own car and not have to pay (or ask) someone else to figure...

    Hydracarbon Trap Removal

    That is what I was trying to prevent. There is so much that is new about this car that giving out extrapolated information could, in fact, be wrong information. Since I did the mod in question - and checked everything to see if it was okay - which it wasn't, then I am attempting to prevent...

    Hydracarbon Trap Removal

    Just giving my own PERSONAL experiences with MUSTANGS and I DO own a 2005 Mustang GT that has already been under the knife... The computer code in a 2005 Mustang GT is beside the fuse box - as I was stating for the ones here that actually OWN a 2005 Mustang and were curious. PLEASE forgive me...

    Hydracarbon Trap Removal

    Why not just look at the Computer code yourself. It is written on the side of the fuse box. BTW, the computers are not the same. When you said earlier that the cumputers were the same but the programming is different, you told on yourself. If they were the same, then they would have to...
