    Slow 3v still cant hook

    BMR makes a drag package that should get you started but stickier tires are probably going to be your next step. You realize that there is a connection between tire compound and tread life, you can't have both. What lot of guys do is pick up an extra pair of wheels and mount them when they are...

    Mustangs in Winter

    Yes, we occasionally get a little bit of snow here in SE Arizona. We just have to brush it off and hit the road.

    Exhaust Help - LT Headers and X Pipe

    And sometimes BBK doesn't even fit BBK. When I bought my '08 GT/CS it came with Ford shorties and the factory cats. I threw the shorties away as I had bought a set of BBK long tubes off ebay. I also picked up a new BBK high flow cat mid pipe, which I wanted to install at the same time. When I to...

    S197 Drop Springs

    My '08 GT/CS had the Ford springs when I purchased it at 29K miles. My wife hated the ride. I swapped them out for the BMR Street Performance springs. She loves the ride now and it looks great.

    7-9 MPG? (Dash display.) Really?

    You have to reset the mpg function but you also have to let it stabilize. Don't reset it going down hill. It will tell you you're getting 100mpg. I reset mine weekly at least.

    Switching comp cams with valve springs to FRPP cams or Howards Rattler Cams Help

    Here's my '08 4.6 with BBK long tubes, BBK high flow cat mid-pipe, Ford Hot Rod cams, FRPP CAI, and the Ford 'box tune', complete with C.A.R.B. sticker. Estimated hp, 350? It's a lot of fun on the street but I haven't had it to the track yet.

    Anyone tried a stock tune on a big motor?

    There is another alternative if it's do-able. Move to rural Arizona where there is no testing. :) I've been running Mustangs since 2012 and I've never had to have any of them tested. I'm running a set of BBK LTs that I bought them cheap off ebay from a guy who had to remove them because of...

    O2 Sensor Problems

    I purchased my '08 GT/CS at 29K miles with Ford shorty headers, a Ford CAI, the Hot Rod cams, and the Ford 'Box' tune. I already had a set of BBK LTs and a BBK high flow cat mid pipe, I had to purchase the hardware kit that came with the O2 sensor extentions. I was teaching at a local high...

    Hot Rod Cams - Best Price?

    I'm on my 3rd Mustang GT 4.6. The first was bone stock, the second had a CAI with tune (lost it to a deer at 32K), and my third '08 GT/CS, purchased at 29K miles with Ford shorty headers, a CAI, The Ford 'box' tune, and the Hot Rod cams. I replaced the Ford shorties with BBK long tubes and a BBK...

    Ordered a Marti Report

    I thought that any Ford Dealership could print out your window sticker? It may not be full color like the original but you might be able to ask them to download it and email it to you so you could color print it yourself.

    Wanting To Upgrade Suspension.

    I bought my '08 with 29K miles. Original owner had installed Ford lowering springs which my wife hated. I had the high school shop auto teacher replace them with BMR and Koni. It rides great now, even sits a little lower. My wife loves the ride.

    Rear main seal repair sleeve on stock 05 motor

    No, but it's a great idea. Saves the seal surface on your crank. Maybe someone saw something they didn't like and installed the seal saver as a precaution.

    No change in 1/4 mile ET after gear change

    Dino is correct, it needs a higher stall to allow the engine to get higher up in the power band at launch. But now you need to start building some power into your motor. I would suggest long tubes, a high flow cat mid-pipe (I went with BBK), and a pair of stage 1 cams. I assume you already have...

    How to detect worn panhard bushing? Do they transfer noise from the diff?

    I rebuilt the diff 3 times on my 1st '08. It was bad when I purchased it, it went out again 20K later, then it went out again 30K later. I complained about this to my local Ford service center and they assured me there were no recalls on the diff bearing. I discovered several years later that...

    Ford Performance 1" lowering springs for 2006 GT convertible

    My '08 came with them (29K miles). I don't believe you're going to like them. My wife hated them. Ride was like a lumber wagon. I replaced them with complete set of BMR, wife is happy now.

    Engine Rebuild Questions

    I just picked up a used 3V for $200 from a guy in Tucson. He went to a Coyote and didn't need this any longer. It's a long block with heads. My plan is to have the heads fully ported and bump the compression as high as I can go safely (possibly 10-10.5:1?). I plan on pulling and wrapping my...

    Mustang headers

    Hi. As I've stated in prior posts I bought my '08 GT/CS with Ford shorties and the stock cats. I had a set of used BBK LTs (ebay prior purchase) and I purchased a BBK high-flow cat mid-pipe (also ebay). I had to have a little welding done because of the difference in sizes between the BBK Lts...

    Cat delete/clean out

    I have an '08 with BBK long tubes and their high flow cat mid pipe. The prior owner installed GT500 mufflers which is where my exhaust volume comes from. It's not obnoxious unless my foot is in it. The mid pipe puts a little more heat into the shifter area so my tuner advised me to insulate. The...

    Buying an 06 GT Premium 5spd and driving it 1600 miles home

    You're going to love your GT . . . more so when you get the bugs worked out. I'm on my 3rd 4.6 GT. The 1st was a was a low mile '08 which I traded for a Tundra at 125K. Took it to the local T & T a lot. It ran mid 14s with no traction. I regretted selling it immediately. Picked up a super low...
