    Dead battery now CEL and traction control is on

    I’ve had my car in winter storage for about a month and went out yesterday to start it up. The battery was stone dead. So I read the manual and think I did everything correctly. Now the CEL is on and the traction control stays off all the time. When I first started it yesterday after charging...

    Finally got the Shelby Signature Series wheels!

    I have been looking at these for months now and finally pulled the trigger in late September. They came in a week ago the same day my new Michelin Pilot Sport 2’s came in. It took me a week but found a garage with a Hunter tire changing machine to put the wheels and sensors on the tires. They...

    Drag strip woes! Could use some help.

    This past weekend I ran my car for the first time with high hopes. I was extremely nervous since the last time I took a car to the track was 15 years ago. I couldn’t get anything to work. I made 4 passes and the line lock would not engage. Worked fine in my driveway the night before, but at...

    The GT500 brought me back to Shelby

    My last GT500 was a '12 with a TVS from a '13. That car made 680 at the wheels. Several different cars later, my last being a '17 Z06/Z07 I bought new in 2017. When the C8 came out, I was interested but not overly enthused with buying a base car. However, I put my order in for a 2021 C8 6...

    FS: 2012 Grabber Blue GT500 672 rwhp 1172 miles

    I've been contemplating selling my Shelby for a few months now and have decided that the time has come to let it go. I bought the Shelby brand new in April of 2012 from Sheehy Ford in Richmond Virginia after cancelling my order for the 2013 Shelby. It has the SVT Performance package, NAV and...

    Switch to drag radials, what else needs done to be safe?

    I've finally decided I'm ordering the Nitto 555's. I'm going to go with the 305 35 20's. My questions is for those that have switched from stock tires to these (or a comparable tire). Did stuff start breaking because you hooked better? What other mods did you do to support the added...

    Is VMP coming to Carlisle for the Ford nationals?

    I've been going to the Carlisle car shows for almost 30 years now and have never been to the Ford show. Does VMP make the trip to PA for the show? If you are coming, will you be doing dyno tuning and can I book a session ahead of time? With everything I have done, I'm pretty comfortable with...

    99% successful intall of the ID 72's and plugs...

    I absolutely love doing mods to my car. It's such a rewarding feeling everytime I do something myself and it turns out good. Today, I did the ID 72lb injectors, Motorcraft plugs (one heat range cooler) and I also installed JLT's new ABS heat shield for the 127. Only bad part was that my plan...

    Anyone install the Injector Dynamics 72lb injectors?

    I bit the bullet and bought these after quite a bit of research and the package came from VMP today along with the Motorcraft plugs. I really thought these were going to be a direct swap with the stock injectors but now I'm thinking differently. There's a paper in the box that says the purple...

    Dead battery then P0174 lean code?

    I usually try to find answers before posting a topic relating to problems, but I'm stumped on this one. Since doing my TVS and accompanying mods along with Justin's tune, the car has performed flawlessly. Today I decided to take the car for a short drive since the roads were dry but the...

    Dyno results, 2012 GT500 with '13 TVS, 2.4 and JLT 127!

    I was shocked when I looked at the dyno screen! 672 rwhp 656 rwtq! List of mods is in my sig. The air fuel ratio stayed at or below 12 on all three runs. Awesome tune Justin! The guys doing the dyno were seriously impressed, as was I. I was hoping for 640 at the wheels and the guys doing...

    Help please! Installed H/E and water isn't moving.

    I have everything hooked up right, fans kicked on when the car got warm, but the fluid in the intercooler reservior isn't moving at all. I've read about how an air bubble will block up the system, but I'm not sure how to rid the system of the air bubble. Could it be something other than an...

    '13 front end transformation finished!

    I got the front splitter yesterday and the upper and lower grills today. It's actually very easy to take off the front end. The hardest part was removing the lower grill. The top one popped right out, but the lower one was a pain in the ass til I found the right tool. A paint can opener with...

    Added Revan Racing 3x intercooler tank and 170 stat.

    The installation was pretty simple. Only the top hose had to be cut. Other than that, it was as simple as draining the coolant, installing the new 170 thermostat and the new bigger tank. I'll show a few pics in case there are those that haven't seen this yet that may choose to do it...

    Not real happy with my dyno numbers

    My car has the JLT 127 intake, 2.5" pulley and Lund tune. The car sat for about 20 minutes before so it really didn't have enough time to cool down, but it did 518 rwhp and 513 rwtq. I didn't think the conditiones were that bad but the guy running the dyno said it wasn't a very good day to do...

    Head gasket failures?

    I got to thinking when I saw the video on the '13 about the stock headgaskets on our cars. They say they upgraded the headgaskets on the '13 to deal with the 15 lbs of boost. With the 2.5 to 2.59 pulley, these cars can see 14lbs or more. Has anyone had a headgasket failure because of the...

    Did the 2.5 pulley, JLT 127 and Lund tune...car is not right

    Okay guys, I give up on trying to figure this out myself. I have a '12 GT500 as you can see. The car is brand new with 400 miles on it. I ran 100% perfect before I did anything to it. Last week I installed the 2.5" pulley, 90 mm idler, JLT 127 intake and a Lund tune with the SCT tuner...
