Seer's 2012 GT500

You are gonna have to keep the engine from torquing over. Stiffer motor mounts and limiters.... Better shifter or stiffer bushings in the shifter.

 

[Seer]

anyone think this may work, since it replaces the rubbery bushing on the stick?

Or full shifter replacement? I remember reading this replaces the stock rubber bushing and has helped some, but others just go right for a mgw or barton

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

IMO youd probably be better off with a new shifter. Im looking and all of the bushings for the stock and ford racing shifters are just the same type of bushings(maybe alittle stiffer.) Looking at the MGW it has a better rear mount.

 

[Seer]

Yep, also looking at motor mounts.

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

Look at the freedom racing motor mounts. they are solid pieces.

I have the shelby/Scott Drake shifter and absolutely love it. Also have 1/2 inch drop prothane bullit motor mounts.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I would go with Polyurethane motor mounts and look into a MGW shifter setup. The MGW allows for adjustment, after a little testing you should be able to aid that 2nd gear lockout.

 

[Seer]

Well dealer is going to look at the transmission since they verified the issue when the car was stock.

I should know around monday when I get the damn thing back (car). Everything I read tells me, it uses the same tune as a CJ65 and relies on adaptive learn.

Thanks, hoping this TB will net me a few ponies!

Good-Luck with it.

I doubt it is going to hurt performance any and hopefully help.

Hey I took a ride, (Short Ride) in a 2013 GT-500 not long ago.
Bad-Ass !!!

They are nice, I owned one for about 3 days before I flipped it for a quick profit

Ya, currently at 746rwhp, I think the tb should add about 15-20 at most. But the tip in throttle response should be improved.

So now its time to start the rebuild.

Motor popped trying to grab 4th and blew a ton of black smoke and oil all over the undercarriage.

So I purchased this so far:

Manley 4340 Forged Steel H-beam Connecting Rods with ARP Rod Bolts
Mahle Forged Aluminum 16cc dish pistons
Brand New Oil Pump Installed
Other misc. parts
Approximately 8.1:1 compression ratio when used with SVT Mustang 4V 5.4L 52.7cc heads
Approximately 8.9:1 compression ratio when used with Lightning 2V 43.9cc heads
Built with these upgraded all NEW PARTS
Will accept 2V and 4V cylinder heads
Will not work with 3 valve cylinder heads
Block configured for use with 2007-2010 SVT Mustang water pump

As well as this:

McLeod RXT Clutch

I also got rid of my whipple 2.9, so time to replace it.

I am still exploring return style fuel systems, and am looking for a tuner to be able to do the conversion, so far no luck on the tuner part for the 11+ cars.
