    Whole Drivetrain upgrade

    (14 GT mt82) Finally preparing for a Paxton centrifugal, going for 600-650whp. I'm going to do most of the work myself, starting with clutch and driveshaft. Already upgraded brakes, got an MGW shifter, and diff sorted out with new LSD and 3.75 gears. For my power goals, what clutch kit works...

    Diff Gone, Time for Something Better

    I'm looking into getting a new diff for my 14 5.0 making 600whp, the one I had was the standard 3.31 ratio. I put more importance on acceleration and less on top end, so should I get a new diff with the same ratio or one with a slightly lower ratio? I still have the standard mt82, but plan on...

    Planning on a Nitrous build, any ideas or tips?

    Have 2014 5.0, currently FBO and tuned. My power goal is around 500-550 whp. I know a few people that run nitro, and for my power goals and budget, nitrous seems the best if done right. I'm open to other ways of hitting that power goal, too. How big of a nitro shot can a 1st gen coyote handle...

    Cams/heads, or go straight for blower?

    I've been considering getting cams, heads, and intake for my 1st gen 5.0, but I don't know how much that'll cost. I've seen prices range from 2k for parts and labor all the way to 4k. Is it just a better idea to go straight for a blower and later get cams since I'm shooting for 650-720 whp? I...

    Tuning questions?

    I'm looking into tuning my stock stang to get a little more power out - doing this for an Ecoboost. I have a few options from what I know of; I have the option of a tuning shop, email tune/custom tune, and premade access port tune like Cobb. I'm thinking about the Cobb tuner, but I'm not sure...

    Choosing between the 2014 gt or 2015 gt is hard

    I recently sold my 05 GT and got myself a 2017 Ecoboost (I know, blasphemy), and after a month in that body...I'm having doubts about getting a 2014 GT. Between the 197 and 550, the 550s have better suspension, stock ride height, trans, interior, handling, saound system, engine, aerodynamics...

    Tell Me about Your Setup

    I'm looking around to see what tire setup I like. I want to run something for straight-line performance as the 5.0 s197 has a live axle. Not a full slick set up, but definitely wider and thicker in the back because I like the look. Of course, I'm also going to lower the car with coils...

    Mustang With a Gated Shifter?

    This question has probably been asked before, but is there any way to put a gated shifter on a mustang and not make it look ghetto? Maybe someone makes a plate that goes with an upgraded shifter. Recently, I had the great opportunity to just go through the gears in a Gallardo. Didn't get to...

    How many spokes is too many spokes on a wheel?

    For a mustang, how many and what type of spokes would you say looks the best? Imo, I like thick 5 or skinny 6, maybe a split 5. split 6 or y 6 starts to look too busy, especially the 20 cross-spoke forgeline LS3C or the elaborate split 5 y spoke wheels like the forgeline AL 203. Those look way...

    Planning out a build but I'm not a big brain

    As the car market crashes (no pun intended) and car parts get cheaper, I was planning on picking up as many parts as possible throughout the coming year. I'm not the most knowledgeable individual when it comes to the specifics of building a car, but there are many knowledgeable ppl here that can...

    What will the corona virus do to the car market? (used/car parts)

    I'm keeping a very close eye on the used car market and I'm starting to see new faces and lower prices. Found one 13' GT with 60k miles selling for 16k. I'm speculating that a lot of people will be liquidating any car that isn't a daily or work vehicle. I'm also expecting the aftermarket to drop...

    Blow-by Talk and Fix

    I was under the hood today and saw at the connector tube between the intake and valve cover, it made me wonder how bad blow-by truly was. My mustang is at pretty high of mileage and I'm not sure if there's a point in putting in a catch can at 150k miles. How bad is blow-by on/for the 4.6 engine...

    Transmission being not so happy (auto)

    For now, I have an 05 gt (used) with about 140k miles. The car run great 90% of the time, but if I run it a little too long or hard the tranny starts acting up. Normally, second and third gear. Some of the issues is delayed or slow shifting, not wanting to down shift, some times those specific...

    Built 13 gt or stock gt500

    I was wondering if it's a better deal to just buy a gt 500 any year between 11 - 14 or get a gt between 13 - 14. I can get a 13 gt for around 17k to 24k with decent milage. I can get a gt500 with a similar milage for around 30k to 40k. There's also the boss 302 but idk what's the advantages of...

    Auto or Manual for 2013 gt?

    I'm planning on buying a 13-14 gt and making it my main weekend cruise/speed boi. I know that the manual trans can be delicate and since I'm gonna buy a used gt with low miles I know manuals will be beat on more than autos. But I wanted to know what transmission is generally better for adding...

    Axle Back Questions and Deafening Cabin Noise

    I recently installed a Nxt Step performance axle-back on my stock 05 gt and I really like the low rumble and the way it sounds, but the cabin noise is deafening when cruising. it makes my mustang undrivable for long distances. When in gear at around 1500 - 2100 rpm the axle back makes the car...
