Best Mod for me was Saleen SC back in 2006 on my 2005 GT. 8lb pulley along with 47lb injectors. Ford Racing TB. Kenne Bell BAP. Local Dyno tuned on Mustang dyno @ 450 to the wheels and 425 torgue. Just stay around 450 rw hp with stock internals enjoy the ride.
I have owned this 2005 Gt since April 2005. Some one will have to sell this car after I am dead because I will never sell it. Pretty much a garage queen only 32,000m miles on her.
Running pretty much same configuration as some of you guys.Fronts are 255/45/18 Nitto on 9in rims and rears are 295/45/18 on 10in rims also Nitto. Front suspension stock except for upgraded shocks and GT500 upper mounts. Rears upgraded panhard bar and Rousch rear springs lowered 1 1/2 in. no...
Have had my 2005 GT insured with Grundy's for the last 16 years.Insured for full agreed upon value of 26,500. No mileage restrictions but cant be your primary car and must be garaged when not being used. Cost $354.00 Yearly. $300,000/10000 coverage.Plus all OEM parts if available.
Have original first gen MGW shifter in my 05GT since 2006. Never a problem. Set at 6 turns. I've played with the position of the handle from slight offset side to side to reversing the handle forward to backward.Untill I found what was most comfortable position.
One other thing that helped was...
If you go with the clear lenses use the Stealth Bulbs. Silver coated but when turned on they glow Yellow. I have had both on my 05 GT for at least 12 years. Can get them on Amazon
2005 GT with Saleen Series VI SC with 3.6 pulley. All pulleys are stock Saleen. Belt is Gates K061080.Have run this setup for 14 years with no problems. Was going to go to a 3.4 pulley and bought a Gates K0610075 belt never installed it along with 3.4 pulley. Still hanging in the garage.

shaft.installed 11 years ago.No issues no problems. Fixed the slop

So, if you want to run 450RWHP, at least three things need to happen
you need air, fuel and timing.If anyone one of these are missing, I don't believe you will get to 450 with a 91 tune. Run the highest octane available in your location. What size injectors are you using? Minimum would be...
I have an original MGW shifter in my 05 GT. I had set the turns out to around seven and had no problems.I later r/r driveshaft with a new ShaftMasters 4" Aluminum driveshaft. Drove off and could hear clicking sound from underside of the car. Back up on the lift and found that the bottom of the...
Check out Grundy's. You can insure for any agreed amount. Have my 05 GT insured for full replacement valve of 25,000. Insurance cost based on agreed valve of the car
Grundy's for me is the way to go.Two restrictions are car is not a daily driver and it must be garaged.You can insure it for any agreed amount, cost is based on the insured amount. Also they guarantee to use only OEM replacement parts for repairs
They don't care how modified your car is along...
Are you sure it's coming from the rear end of the car?I had clicking and popping on my 05 GT. Turned out to be front end sway bar end links. The stock original ones from Ford are a piece of crap.Replaced both with new improved Ford links,problem solved.
Nice find.! Welcome to the Saleen SC Club. Do know what size pulley is on the front of the SC? They increment down from 4.0 to 2.8. Each drop gets you about 2 to 21/2 lbs of boost.
