Notice the post said “I’d be scared of” and not “what most people should be scared of”. I quite frankly don’t care why your buying a GT500 lol but I know why I bought mine in 2010 and why I might or might not buy another one in 2018/2019. The mustang is one of the most widely modified cars on...
I definitely see the prestige in driving a GT500 and it may end up being that point that makes my decision. I guess I was hoping for some really unique power plant to set the 2 apart. I’m not seeing that with this leaked engine.
As far as building something that’s faster, that used to take...
Never mind the demon, I’d be scared of the 2018 GT buying one of these cars. Never mind the horsepower #s for a moment, I don’t think any of us are expecting a 9 second factory car at this point. Now keep in mind the 18 GT is running 11.2X with tune and E85 only with the new ten speed. Spend...
If this is it I'm a little disappointed they took this long to release a supercharged coyote. As someone else said if "if your going to be late to the party you better bring the best beer". After months of waiting and the demon and hellcat taking all the hype I really expected a TT coyote or at...
Ya low production numbers and outrageous admin fees make me want to look at other options. I hope production numbers are close the previous generation GT500s.
To me if Ford wants to set the competition on their heals like in 07 it's going to take more then a TT5.0/5.2. Those are fun options to...
Here's some wishful thinking. Ford did play around with a 7.0 boss engine(bored and stroked 6.2) a few years ago in some concept vehicle. The V10 is still around but in the medium duty chassis, and there has been some speculation in that crowd about an upgrade to some kind of new gas power plant...
I can see 700ish horsepower with that recipe, but not 800. You can only add so much timing/boost and still maintain the use of 91 octane. Ford factory calibrations tend to error on the conservative side too to account for bad fuel, massive changes in elevation and temperature. Unless Ford is...
Are any of the predicted engine platforms capable of 800hp on pump fuel? I have a feeling Dodge will remain on top of the throne with the HP game as rumors of a 800+hp challenger have been lurking for awhile now. I bet though Ford has done their home work with weight savings, suspension and a...
So I have been trying to come up with a plan to comfortably break 700whp on pump fuel with my TVS set up (mods in sig). I had a plan worked out with a reputable tuner that involved L/T headers, NSR cams, and a 10% lower which would likely get me there but would be pushing the limits of pump...
I currently have a 2010 GT500 with a VMP Gen I TVS (2.5" upper) swap, CJ 65mm TB, JLT CAI, offroad xpipe and ID725s. It currently runs just over 15psi. I'm looking for a little more out of this setup but still want to run pump gas. I'm wondering if cams and headers will lower the boost enough to...
I know quite a few of you are running aftermarket hoods on your GT500s. My question is what did you do for hood stripes? I just bought a Cervini's 4" cowl hood and was going to use factory hood stripes but after looking at it the factory stripes have a gap for the heat extractor on the factory...
So I posted awhile back on what my next mod was going to be and my initial plan was to add a 10% lower but most agreed that would be too much boost for my setup (VMP TVS Gen I w/ 2.5 upper) and still be able to run pump gas. I'm wondering now if the "NSR" cams from L&M with long tubes might be a...
I just finished having my car tuned by Jon Lund and the car feels strong but I'm looking for a bit more. I have a VMP TVS Gen I(2.5" upper), CJ dual 65mm TB, JLT 123mm intake, ID725s and an offroad xpipe. I want to stay running pump fuel (94 octane) and I do use torco for safety. Could this...
Anyone have experience with firmware issues on SCT X3 and LiveLink. I am having trouble with the LiveLink Gen II software. I can only find the PIDs that my tuner requested if I do not validate the list but then when I start the datalog all the PIDs with the exception of 2(out of 17) say "failure...
I have been contemplating a 3:55 to 4:10 swap for awhile but am looking for opinions. I did a search and many seem to think its too much for 1st gear traction on a street car and not advisable for the track without going to a taller tire (car will never see track duty). I plan to use a 325/30/19...
So I just purchased a set of CCW 505a'sfor my car(stock suspension 2010GT500) and they suggested a Michelin Super Sport 325/30/19 for the rear. I'm more partial to the NT05 but they are only available in 335. I've read in other forums that the Michelin measures quite big for a 325 and the Nitto...
