The intent of this thread is to share my experience with upgrading from a Whipple 2.9 Gen 2 Supercharger to a Gen 4, with no other changes except a tune revision to compensate for the additional boost produced by the Gen 4. I used the same Tuner, Dynamometer, 3.00” upper pulley, and safe 93...

I had been running Royal Purple Synchromax transmission fluid over the past five years with smooth shifts and no issues other than a little 2nd gear grind during the first shift on cold mornings, which was even worse with the original factory fill. Figured I would replace it with how hard I run...

I accessed the tech article below through a periodic email from Maximum Motorsports and wanted to share with the community. It's an interesting read for anyone considering the move from a panhard bar to a watts link for handling purposes. Busting the Myth of the Watts Link

One year ago, my original OEM alternator completely failed after nearly 10 years of hard use. I was three hours away from home in Ocean City, MD, and the only alternator I could get my hands on was a remanufactured AC Delco unit from Advance Auto Parts... sacrilegious I know, but better than...

This past winter, I decided to install some suspension handling upgrades on my 2008 Shelby. The core modification was the installation of a Maximum Motorsports K-member for strength, along with Ford Racing M-3075-E front lower control arms, MM bump steer kit, and Bilstein struts. I had...

Below is a follow up to this thread: https://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/poll-who-has-had-trouble-logging-downstream-air-temp-iat2-act2-on-the-sct-x4.1113805/ A little over a year ago, SCT did resolve the issue with datalogging IAT2 via the Downstream Air Temp (DMR) with an X4 on most...

A few years ago, I upgraded my OEM shifter with Revan Racing solid front bushings and KR rear bushing. I had zero complaints with this setup and it took the factory shifter as far as it can go in terms of preciseness and removed lots of slop in the shifter assembly. Not wanting a short throw...

After running a JLT passenger side oil separator with upgraded filter for nearly 3 years with great results, I decided to purchase the newly released 3.0 version for my GT500 with the intent of conducting a head-to-head comparison of the two filter systems on my car, just to see if JLT had...

During a road trip last weekend, I was monitoring downstream air temp while highway cruising at 65mph with ambient air temp around 50*F. Imagine my surprise when I saw 157*F on my AeroForce Interceptor gauge. My immediate thought was that my intercooler pump quit working, but after hitting a...

Just as I am about to schedule my car for the driver side airbag inflator housing to be replaced, I get this little gem in the mail... and replacement parts are not initially available for this one either: Has anyone else received notification?

I just removed my TR7IX spark plugs and replaced them in preparation for a new dyno tune. They have just over 10,000 hard street and strip miles on them, with 5,000 miles driven with the FR/Whipple ProCal tune with low timing and lean AFR, and the last 5,000 miles with my Lund tune and ID1000s...

I decided to update my rear LCA relocation brackets. I had the original BMR bolt-on two hole design installed and they performed flawlessly on the street over the years. After seeing MM’s new product design, I figured I give them a shot to add a little “bling” to the rear end. The link below...

I set out with a goal to reduce cylinder head temp (CHT) by 10*, mainly as additional protection against detonation, similar to installing colder spark plugs when increasing boost. My secondary motive was to reduce engine coolant temp (ECT) in an attempt to reduce downstream air temperature to...

I have been seeing posts and been sent private messages about inoperative radiator fans, so I figured I would share my recent experience and the fix. In preparation for larger injectors and a custom tune back in April, I scanned for DTC codes and was surprised when I saw P0481 Fan 2 (high speed...

I installed Ford Racing Boss brake lines, part# M-2078-MB, on my Shelby about a month ago, and figured I would post a review. They are a direct replacement for the stock brake lines, but they differ in that they are low expansion rubber lines. They fit perfectly and have the same securing...

Realizing that some new owners of nearly stock GT500s are looking to mod, I thought I would post my experience so that you can see some common mods and results so that you can make informed decisions and hopefully save some money in the long run. After the first 3500 miles, my car was upgraded...
