    Advice Needed - Buying Wheels

    You can run 10s with 42-45mm offset and 275s or 285s on all four corners if you want to be able to rotate your tires. The offsets you have listed are all a touch agressive and will poke a bit in the rear, possibly in the front as well if you're running factory camber specs. If you like the...

    Hagerty Insurance?

    My Mustang and one other vehicle are insured with Hagerty. Haven't had to make any claims but when I have had to interact with them, it's been pleasant enough. The Mustang policy wasn't significantly cheaper with Hagerty but they didn't give me a hard time about the supercharger and if it gets...

    What would YOU do for an engine build in my situation?

    That RPM level is gonna get expensive. The 4.6 is already a small bore/long stroke engine. I personally wouldn't add more stroke if I was dead set on a screaming redline. The stock ECU isn't going to allow that much RPM so you're effectively going to be doing everything you would need to engine...

    Newbie: What Mustang would you buy with a $10K budget

    Have you actually obtained insurance quotes? When I was car shopping with my teenage nephew, a '05-'09 GT was slightly cheaper for him to insure than a '11-'14 V6 and a '98-'02 Camaro Z28 would have cost the same as a 3.8 V6 powered version.

    Newly stroked 4.6 3v need cam suggestions

    This is the concerning part. A cam can not add fuel. You're going to be relying on the MAF meter and the the limits of how much fuel the ECU will add through LTFT before it decides something is wrong and throws a DTC. I assume you're just hoping to use the stock tune to get the car smogged and...

    LTB a GT-500 … have questions… need your HELP! … Please !

    $46k is getting into the bottom of the barrel for decent '13-'14 GT500s. They're around if you don't mind a few miles and rough edges but I wouldn't expect to find a high option, one owner, sub 10k mile car for that money. It will get you an extremely nice '11-'12 though.

    2006 Mustang GT when car is cold or hot idling it holds 50 lb of oil pressure when you give it a little throttle it will drop 4 lb and then 65

    Something is screwy. 50 psi at cold idle is low which could indicate an internal leak or worn bearings but that same 50 psi hot is abnormally high so that would seem to eliminate those as potential issues. I would start with trying another gauge.

    2011 or 2012

    Do some digging on when Ford sorted out the EPAS and clutch issues that the early Coyote cars suffered from. I don't know the answer, unfortunately. Might be a reason to avoid the 2011 unless you are in love with the CS package and willing to correct those problems yourself.

    Ford 460 motor swap

    There's a few 385 series BBF swapped S197s out there. The one I know the most about retained basically none of the original electrical system. Be aware that even if you don't currently need an inspection to get the car plated after this swap, it will not be street legal by the letter of the law...

    SUPER SNAKE!

    I wasn't saying any of those cars are direct competition for this Shelby, just something else someone with $200k burning a hole in their pocket could choose. They all give up HP to the Super Snake in exchange for something else. It was more just an observation that there's nothing there that...

    SUPER SNAKE!

    Figuring these will start in the $150k range (2023s started at $140k+), I went "shopping" with $200k I don't have. I assumed there would be multiple cars that are blatantly better choices for that kind of coin but discovered I really don't want any of them. You aren't getting anywhere near a 911...

    19" wheel width

    IIRC the only 19x9s were the Brembo package wheels and the fronts on Boss 302s (which got 19x10 rears). GT500s got 9.5 wides all around and all other 19s were 8.5 wide. If you really want to make sure, that info is cast or stamped on the back side of the vast majority of wheels.

    Magnum 500 Wheels

    The GT came with bigger front brakes than the V6. The OEM 16" base wheels will not clear the GT brakes. Can't say with 100% certainty that any particular aftermarket 16" won't clear but I'd bet the vast majority won't.

    05-09 GT power steering reservoir relocating help

    Download the install instructions for a Vortech/Paxton supercharger. The reservoir gets relocated to the passenger side with simple brackets that could be made by anybody with a drill and an angle grinder.

    Fuel pump issue

    I just replaced it with submersible rubber fuel line. Carved some barbs into the plastic bits the hose connects to and used stepless clamps to secure it. You have to be careful where the hose wants to sit as it could interfere with the fuel level floats. Probably best to use a few brass 90°...

    Fuel pump issue

    Had the same issue last year. Crossover tube had a leak in it so once the fuel level got below the tube, it just sucked air. I couldn't find the leak but replaced the tube and no more running out of fuel with the gauge showing 1/4 tank.

    07 to 14 Coyote swap

    HIDs were available on the later pre facelift S197s ('09 for sure and I think '08 as well) the housings are pricey but installing those is an option if you want to avoid non-OEM looking wiring modifications.

    Rear Springs 1" Lower

    Huh? The top coil is flattened (nearly perpendicular to the axis of the windings) and is almost 1-1/2" smaller in diameter than the 2nd coil. If you cut from the top, I don't see how it's going to seat in the strut mount properly. The bottom coil is the same diameter as the one above it and...

    Rear Springs 1" Lower

    Front springs on these cars are tapered and flattened at the top (the end being held up by the jack stand in the photo) but can be cut without altering how they seat on the strut end.

    Rear Springs 1" Lower

    I'll go against the grain and say cutting coil springs FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING SMALL ADJUSTMENTS to the front ride height is fine. Yes, it reduces suspension travel... so do lowering springs. If we're talking about 1/4" or less, that can be compensated for in the bump stops. Coil springs...

    2010 sway bars

    Do you have the track pack? If so, the sway bars are already GT500 pieces and probably not worth upgrading unless you want adjustable bars to fine tune cornering balance. I picked up a used Steeda adjustable front bar and paired it with a stock GT500 rear bar and poly bushings. I have the front...

    How do I make 400whp in an 06 GT?

    Don't go in the cold? There's a significant number of EVs on the road around here and we get a stint of minus 40° nearly every winter. Night time lows in the minus 30°s are downright common. Yet inevitably, there they are still beside me in traffic. Admittedly, they need to be plugged in to keep...

    dust cap is too fat for the wheel center caps

    I wouldn't remove the dust caps and you'll grind through them before you remove enough material to get those center caps on. I've actually never seen a wheel that was so shallow at the center it wouldn't clear the S197 bearing. Your options at this point are leave it as is, run spacers or get...
