    VMP 2.4" Pulley, 90mm Idler, FRPP CJ Throttle Body, HF Filter, & VMP Tune Installed

    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...

    2012 rear end assy in a 2013

    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.

    65mm CJ Throttle Body Install

    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...

    2013.... Need some mod advice.

    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...

    VMP....Small Pulley and Tune on 2013

    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...

    3.73s going in on Wed.... Keep ya posted

    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...

    2013 Gearing and Speedo Change

    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

    FRPP 3.73s and Installation Kit Has Arrived

    2013 Clutch Release

    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.

    Polishing or Painting the SVT and 5.8 On The 2013 TVS

    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.

    Widening SVTPP 20 x 9.5" Wheels

    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. I...
