Anyone running a 4” driveshaft with a safety loop on? I’m looking to do the TR6060 swap and use a GForce 4” driveshaft. I also have Kooks headers and the motor is lowered about 1/2” if that affects any clearance requirements. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Anyone have an extra Vortech/Paxton 2.95”, 3.00” or 2.87” 6-rib pulley that will fit a Novi 2200? I currently have a 3.12” 6-rib pulley but looking to step down just a little bit. I don’t feel like dropping $100 to experiment with pulley sizes though. Thanks

So, I was at a local Ford dealer and there was a 2014 RS3 sitting in the showroom. I noticed the insulation hanging at the firewall. I was thinking it might be a good idea to add to my 2005. I tried googling it but anyone have a part number handy? Wondering if it's 05-14 or just 10-14. FYI...

So, as I bounce ideas around in my head around my '05, looking at 60's Fastbacks as well as options from Retrobuilt or the "Reversion Mustang", who's got some cool pics of their car if you think you're rocking some extra "retro styling"? I'm looking for ideas to give my car some extra retro...

I know this may be tough to diagnose online, but does this ticking sound seem like it's coming from the OE tensioner? I tried using a screwdriver to amplify the sound and it seems to come from there. It happened briefly a few weeks ago after cruising a few hours and then it stopped. It...

Aside from "track day insurance", does anyone offer insurance to cover racing in MA/NH? I'm a MA resident and looking to drag race in NH on occasion (New England Dragway).

Any cat deletes that will fit the 2.5" Kooks headers on a 05-10 GT with a manual transmission? I currently have the Kooks hi-flow cats and looking for the offroad legs to mate up with my Kooks h-pipe. I think Pypes are similar in design to the Kooks LTs, no? Thanks...

Any experience using Katzkin vs LeatherSeats.com? I want to replace my OE front seat covers (red leather). I'm looking for durability and OE like styling since I'm keeping the rear seats as is. Any feedback?

I replied to a different post but can't seem to find it! Damn iPhone and Safari! LOL So anyway, any recommendations for upgraded calipers for an 05 GT running 17" Bullitts? If 18's and GT500 takeoffs are my only option, I'll probably just replace my pads and rotors. I like running 17x9's...

OK, you can see my build in my signatire, but with a 326 stroker and a Novi 2200 pushing about 12lbs of boost, I dyno'ed at 540 whp/530wtq on a hot August day. So it may be capable of more. The down sides of my setup: I run on 28.75" tall NT555R's (305/45/18's) I have 4.56 gears (which...

Not bad for a hot August day! 539 rwhp and 528 torque on a Dynometer! I'm very happy right now! Just have to see what she'll do at the track in cooler weather. :)

I have a set of 8 Manley ceramic coated pistons pulled from a Boss 5.0 block stroked to 5.3L. They're 4-valve/2-valve pistons and notched accordingly, but if you or someone you know has the skill, the pistons could get a valve relief "fly cut" to make the 3-valve compatible as well. The...

Can anyone recommend a 6-rib belt to be used in a Vortech/Paxton setup if stepping down from a 3.4" pulley (stock size) to a 3.125" pulley? Seems the stock belt is 120" (Vortech part #: 2A046-120 which is Gates part #: k061203). I should add, I'm planning on using the stock crank pulley/damper...

OK a silly question, but as I'm working on a 326 stroker, I was thinking of swapping the GT fender emblem / badge for something different. I was thinking a "5.3" emblem similar to the '11-14 "5.0" emblem. A few people noted they think of Chevy when they see a 5.3 and think it's odd on a Ford...

I've been trying to figure this one out. Displacement is based on bore and stroke (and of course the number of cylinders) but if using the Boss 5.0 block, why is JDM measured at 323, MMR at 324 and Brenspeed at 326? What's the difference?

I'm in the process of buying a Boss 5.3 stroker. It's been delivered and being installed in the next couple of weeks. I haven't gotten my stock engine pulled yet, but it will be available for sale in early June. I can post some detailed pics of the engine once it's pulled. I'm just trying to...

I'm going for the old school stance. Too much up front or not enough in the back? Up front are 17x8's with 255/50R17 NT555's which are 27.1" tall. In the rear are 18x10's with 295/45/18 NT555's which are 28.4" tall. I'm pondering 305/45/18 NT555R's in the back. I spend 90%+ of my time...

I have an aluminum strut tower brace (05-14?) and a matte black hood scoop (05-09 ALL) available. The STB has custom graphics on it but they can easily be removed. A small disclaimer regarding the scoop. The bottom lip on the honeycomb grille is cracking on the inside edge. You can either...

OK, I know this is VERY non-technical, but I'm trying to think this through logically. I'm an IT guy. We put hours of thought into saving minutes of work. :idea: I just picked up a brand new (NOS) Saleen Shaker NA scoop for my 3V and got it installed. I know it doesn't do really anything...

I'm looking for some good DRs to drive on in a pinch, but also offer much better traction than my NT555's. Would the Mickey T Street Radial II in 295/45/17 on some 17x10.5 Bullitts be a good setup for the S197? Those tires are about 27.2" tall, which is fairly stock height. I currently run...

These are rather vague but they popped up recently. Nothing added though I reloaded a tune. Thoughts? I'll check with the tuner too. P0430 Catalyst System Efficiency below Threshold (Bank 2) P0600 Serial Communication Link P1000 ODB System Readiness Test Not Complete P2105 Throttle...

4-14-16 I have a set of stock valve covers for the 4.6L 3V 2005-2010 Mustang GT that we cleaned, sanded, primed and painted with hi-temp VHT paint flat black paint. These will replace those aging, corroded valve covers, adding a little style under your hood! No bolts or gaskets, but you can...

It kinda sucked. The best I could squeeze out of her was 13.9 @ 103 mph with a 2.1 60-foot and 0.27 RT. (mods in my signature below) Things I learned from my first experience at the track: - I've got some learning to do (read as "driver mod required" LOL) - You can't drive your S197 in 3...

Anyone running the 127350 cams with a Paxton or Vortech? Anyone running them NA while saving up for a blower? Any feedback on the driving experience and if they satisfied your expectations/goals?

Has anyone found a true replacement grill for their 05-09 GT, not an overlay? I'd like to keep the fog lights where they are too. I'm just looking to get rid of the honeycomb grill. It's a PITA to clean and I'd rather something like the Roush grill. Again, I wanna keep the fog lights though...
