Ok.... Just purchased a low mile (45k ) Lightning that is 100% stock. Time to give her some more @$$ !!!
I was thinking 2.3 Whipple Upgrade Kit and a better throttle body and tune with other needs accessories. Any better options?
Anyone got a good performance recipe to get the lightning up to...
What should look for as for or be wary of when shopping for a lightning. I would of course prefer low miles as possible , no to minimal mods, clean car fax, under 15k
Ok guys... May have to sell my 2013 Shelby but voluntarily to invest in something. Was thinking if putting it online locally and Ebay. It's a black/black, SVTPP, Nav, Recaros, I do have a TB, pulley , and a VMP TUNE. She has 3000k and is FLAWLESS....
What is a realistic price I could get for...
Met up with Justin and Steven at the 2013 Pony Wars and had them install the above mods to my car. First let me say what great guys VMP are. From my first email to the final install they were top notch. I already had 3.73 gears installed prior to these mods.
Once I got my car done and drove...
Just curious if a 2012 complete rear end assy would bolt right in to 2013? I know it may sound like a weird question but there is a good reason. Would the new carbon fiber drive shaft bolt up the the non Torsen rear end... Guessing it would be a direct swap.
Maybe a stupid question but will trimming the rubber tab that covers the engraved "Racing" on the throttle body cause an issue? I'm sure it's on there to ease install but thought I'd inquire before I made a major screwup!!
I noticed the JLT tubes don't have it and only mount up to where the...
Taking my 2013 to Pony Wars in Cecil, GA on Saturday and VMP is gonna install a small pulley, 90mm idler, and Dyno tune it. I'm torn on the 65mm Cobra Jet Throttle Body. Is it worth the money for the HP it brings? Will it affect the daily driveability?
Any help or advice from those with...
Since I live in North Central Florida, I figured I would use VMP to do the mod on my 2013 as he is close. I already installed 3.73 gears and need the tuner to change the gear ratio so the speedo is correct so i figured why not get the pulley and a better tune while Im at it. I already have the...
Got a set of FRPP 3.73s and installation kit/F150 pinion bearing ready for install. I just wasnt impressed with the overall feel of the 3.31s and I personally dont care about mileage or 200mph. I'm just disappointed that Ford can recalibrate the speedometer to correct for the new gears....kinda...
With all the threads out there, i just want to confirm that if you change the gears in your 2013 to 3.73s, Ford can NOT correct the speedo? You will have to use an aftermarket tuner? Anyone have an idea how far off it is...faster or slower?
Thanks
Got them really quick from Lethal Performance. Im gonna call both local Ford dealers to get a quote on install. I hoping they can access the ECU so they can make the correct spedometer changes.
While I love the car....i have not been completely satisfied with the gearing. It seems everyone...
Anyone else getting a slight rattle noise from the shifter at certain RPMs? Not sure whats causing it in mine. Seems to really be noticeable in 2,3,4th at around 3k rpms.
Is the clutch release adjustable in anyway on the 2013? I loved my 2011 as it released early but the 2013s clutch peddle is almost fully released before the clutch engages/disengages.
Anyone tried this? I was thinking of possibly painting the letters and numbers on the SC to match the cars paint......make it stand out. Thought i would tape them off and use a brush or sponge brush as the are textured. Guessing engine paint to handle the heat.
As for polishing....i have no idea.
I was using Google Earth and found a rail loading area in New Boston thats approx 10 miles from the Dearborn Ford facility. You can clearly see GT500s on the lot....of course no telling how old this photo is. What i thought was weird is the distance from the Ford plant this place is. Is this the...
I ordered the car on 5/12, built 8/9, SVT and dealer advised today that the car is on the rail with dealer ETA of 8/22. Guess it all depends on trucking company getting it from the rail yard in a timely manner!!!! EXCIoTED !!!!!!
Looking to see if stripe delete and black on black Shelby GT500 Recaros are different. The brocher shows charcoal with dark black snake and black stripes in the seats...
OK...
Took my bone stock 2011 GT500 w/SVTPP to the track today to see how it ran. I have never ran it on the 1/4 before and my launches were ok at best. Here are my passes..

Thinking about sending my 20" SVTPP rear wheels to Weldscraft to have them widen to either 10.5 or 11". If I have read correctly, they should clear everything at 10.5 and may need some adjusting at 11". Also they will not need to be refinshed after the work which is really important to me.
