Dino got it right. To my 08 4.6 I added the Ford Hot Rod cams and new Cam Phaser Bolts. The first tune was bad - with some effort after going to Mo's Speed Shop - Atlanta it got a lot better. Also added LT headers and high flow cats. True - Not much low end change but, in the higher rpm's the...
For those of us blessed (in a bad way) to have the older two piece spark plugs - Brisk USA makes racing spark plugs that are a one piece design. They are the 3VR17YS Silver Racing plugs. These plugs are very expensive but, no more broken plug worries.
A check engine code has started to show up on a 2008 Shelby GT. The cars has Ford hot rod cams and Kook's long tube headers and cats. There is also has a tune.
Last year, the car threw a code for cylinder misfire. Finally trace to a bad plug ( ??? car only has 18k ) So, the plug solved the...
I driven the car recently - no misfires - no codes - so far....
The car was tuned by Mo's Speed Shop outside Atlanta.
I hear you about the modified engine's SP's not lasting - could be a factor - pics of the old plugs is a good suggestion. The car has had the cams for a long time (years) no...

My Shelby picked up a misfire on CYC 4 - Easy fix - New spark plug got me back on the road. Will change them all this winter. Strangely, the car only has 18,500 miles. I am using MSD red coil packs.

I did what you mentioned to my 08 Shelby GT-C - Ford Hot Rod cams, Kooks LT Headers and HF Cats. With a tune it showed 379HP - Sound is changed and amazing - no buzz. Good Luck
Adding my two cents - many of the inserts mentioned above are, of course, not OEM. To more closely match them you'll need to also have the thin foam insert installed behind the covering. I went to a car upholster and had that done. If it matters......
08 Shelby GT here. I have the Kooks long tube headers and high flow cats, Ford mid pipe and Ford performance mufflers. (round Ones). The car also has Ford Hot Rod Cams and, of course, a tune. Car dyno'd at approx 370hp - no drone and no codes.
Maybe not much help but, had similar problems after I installed the Ford HR Cams and a BAMA tune. The car was throwing codes for being lean. I called BAMA - discussed with a tech - they shot me a new tune - problem solved. You might call them. Advice given on the alternator sounds right. Fix one...
Well first off, you have nice car. I'll respond to your comments.
There are only 215 2008 Shelby GT-C's. They were special ordered by the southern California Ford/Shelby dealers. All Shelby GT's are basically clones of the Shelby GT-H (Hertz). (See wiki - 2007-08 Ford Shelby GT below) The...
Hi All,
Back in 2008, the southern California Ford/Shelby dealers requested a "California Edition" Shelby GT. Shelby produced 215 of these Grabber Orange GT-C cars. We have created a registry to track these cars. We have also started a Facebook Group page. If you have one of these cars and your...
Hi All
Back in 2008 at the request of the California Shelby Mustang dealers - Ford and Shelby produced 215 Orange Grabber Coupes.
These cars are not the same as a "California Special". Those cars were not Shelby's.
Was interested in creating a registry for these 215 GT-C's.
I am...
