    Do I need a clear coat?

    Hey guys, I recently purchased a set of the agent 47 mirrors for my car. These are the generation 1 version that didn't come ready to install. They needed prep and paint before install. So yesterday i went ahead and sanded them down and painted them with 2 coats of Krylon Fusion. They actually...

    Wheels vs. Gears & D/S...

    Thanks again guys, looks like I'm going to go the route of new wheels. So I've now hear from a few different sources that differing wheels sizes isn't really the best route to go. That being said, am I better off with 8.5 or 9.5 inch wide wheels? BTW, I do already have new drilled/slotted...

    Wheels vs. Gears & D/S...

    Thanks for the feedback guys, I appreciate it. I'm currently using Hankook EVO Ventus 12 (255/45s) and they were a huge upgrade over the stock tires. I'd probably keep that same size for the front, but get 275s for the rear as I'd get the 18x9.5s on back. Vapour Trails, I know more track...

    Wheels vs. Gears & D/S...

    Hey guys, I think I can answer my own question but wanted to get some feedback from anyone with a bit more experience. Right now my car is in the 430rwhp range, with 3.31s, stock wheels and stock drive shaft. Those three components are all components I plan on changing out but as with most of...

    MMR CAI Dyno results inside!!!!

    This is great info, thanks for sharing. Is there any reason to believe the results would be better if the car was tuned for the MMR CAI? Is the MMR CAI advertised as "no tune needed"?

    Lapping Day At Mosport

    Sweet video Sleeper, looks like your brother is a bit of a hotshoe. :-) Do you guys know what a good lap time at Mosport is on a bike vs. a car? I'll be taking my GT up to Texas World Speedway later this year for the first time. I've done 12 trackdays there on my bike, with a fastest lap of...

    Not happy with the stangs handling

    The handling car I've ever experienced is a Factory Five Cobra replica on NT555Rs. The car was incredibly nimble and could hold a line like nothing I've ever been in before. Going from that back to my Mustang was eye opening for sure, but I have no illusions of what my car is... a good handling...

    Sold the car...cleanout sale

    I believe the only way it is unlocked is if you returned your car back to the stock tune. If not, then I don't think it can be used with any other vehicle unless unlocked by SCT... who charges a fee to do it. GLWS

    Squeak Squeak after LCA install

    So should you just hand tighten them without load, then take them off jackstands and torque them up to spec? I have a bit of a squeak with my J&M also and would love to eliminate it if possible.

    Fuel System Question

    Hey guys, I'm currently running the Brenspeed Stage II Saleen kit which came with 39lb injectors. I'm thinking about getting some long tubes or cams but I'm not sure how I'll need to upgrade the fuel system. I'd like to just get the FPDM Wiring upgrade...
