    Saw My Old Shelby Today!

    Most of you probably don't remember me and my little story, but I sold my Shelby about 2 years ago and today I got to be reacquainted with it. I stayed friendly with the new owner so it looks like I'm gonna be seeing my old car quite regularly, which is very nice. He had the car in the shop for...

    Strange Whining Sound (NOT the drivetrain)

    I was wondering if anybody here may be able to help diagnose a small issue I'm experiencing. On deceleration, at about 2,500 rpms, I hear a strange whining sound coming from the engine/dashboard area. It only happens at around 2,500 rpms and only on decel. It's not the gears, I'm familiar what...

    Never Realized How Special The 2013/2014 GT500's Are Until Recently

    Over the last few weeks, I had the opportunity to drive a brand new Corvette Stingray, a 2013 Corvette Z06, and a ZL1. I was expecting at least the Z06 to give me that feeling that I wanted to dump the GT500 and go for a Z06. Interestingly, that didn't happen. I really can't put my finger on it...

    Looks Like A Motor Trend Test Is Coming Soon

    Saw this on Instagram that Motor Trend posted. Looks like they certainly have a high opinion of the car. With that said, no way would I pay 25k over what the manufacturer says I should spend.

    FS: Factory 2014 Shelby GT500 Clutch

    I have my stock clutch for sale if anybody wants it. It has about 5k miles on it and it worked flawlessly when I changed it out. I upgraded to an ACE twin disc power force clutch when I increased the horsepower. Here are some pictures.

    Pictures Of My Stock Clutch

    This thread is unrelated to the damage caused by my car as seen in my other thread. As you know my clutch blew up when the car was stolen and now they have to replace the clutch. I have the choice of putting any clutch in, and since I never had a problem with the factory clutch, I was...

    Compression Test Results

    While looking for the cause of my P0300 code (random cylinder misfire), my shop inspected the spark plugs and they noticed that the spark plug for cylinder number 8 looked noticeably darker than the rest of the spark plugs, so they performed a compression test on the cylinders on that side of...

    How Was Your Fourth of July

    Just wondering how everybody's fourth went. I live on Long Island, NY and went to Florida this year for the fourth and I love it. The heat and humidity sucked, but I like the extra space. Any other fellow Pyros on here? I had a good time setting off my small show in Florida, it was nice to be...

    How To Tell If Knock Is False

    Sorry to make one more thread about knock, but I was just wondering, in what ways can you tell if KR that the knock sensors are picking up, is false or not? Like I said in another one of my threads, the tune I have in my car now has nearly eliminated KR at WOT and under heavy throttle nearly...

    I have only one more mod (if you consider it a mod) and that is get a set of 18" rims with Micky Thompson ET streets mounted on them for the strip. The size tires I will be mounting on them are 305/45ZR18. What rims would you guys recommend for mounting these? I'm not too concerned with look...

    P0300 Code

    Lately I've been getting a P0300 code popping up randomly and I can't figure out what is causing it. The car drives perfectly and feels fantastic. The code only pops up when the car idles for a while, so I'm guessing it's detecting a random misfire when the car is idling. When the car idles, I...

    Crank Relearn Help

    I am having a hard time doing the crank relearn. I got a P0300 code for random cylinder misfire and can't figure out what is causing the code. I recently had to get a crank relearn done that my tuner did for me because of a clutch and lower pulley install, and I got the code within a week of...

    CQuartz Finest Treatment and My First Trophy!

    I got my car detailed with a full paint correction and sealed with CQuartz Finest. For those of you unfamiliar with finest, it's a protectant/super sealant that a detailer applies and cures with heat lamps that adds a measurable layer of protection over your car. It's almost like a clear coat...

    Stock Air Box/Heat Shield

    I hate to make a whole thread on this but am not sure how else to ask. How is the stock airbox/heatshield that the filter sits in secured to the car? I feel like a piece is missing when I put the stock piece back in, there's one black screw with a black washer on it that looks like it's supposed...

    Interesting Article on a Trinity Engine Failure

    Did anybody see this article? Sorry if this is a repost, I didn't see it on here. According to this, as soon as you add power, even from minor basic bolt ons, you run the risk of popping the engine because the hardware can't handle more than stock power, according to this article. Seems to go...
