Like some of you, my car developed a squealing pig under the hood that was growing worse. I isolated it to one of the pulleys on the blower belt. If you've ever tried to ID the three pulleys (not counting the tensioner pulley) through online parts diagrams or listings, it's a real pain in the...
I've got a chirp chirp chirp on cold start up that goes away after a few minutes. I'm guessing it's an idler or tensioner pulley, so I'm planning to change all of them for good measure. Per the VMP picture below, there appears to be two idlers on the drive belt, and one on the tensioner; and...
Attempting to do some datalogging for BJ and I'm having some trouble with it. I recently upgraded from an Xcal2 (!) and Livelink 6.5 to an X4 and Livelink Gen 2. BJ has asked that I log certain PID's, but Gen 2 doesn't have any of the following PID's - all of which show up in Livelink 6.5. I've...
Finally got off my butt and decided to paint my TVS and elbow satin black. I used self etching primer, and laid down a couple of coats of satin black engine paint. I think it turned out pretty good. Excuse the dirty-ass engine compartment. I cleaned it later.
Before:

MODS - ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD. PLEASE DELETE THIS THREAD.
Up for sale is a set of Magnaflow stainless oval axlebacks and a Lethal Performance offroad H pipe for a GT500 off my '07. The Maggies are in very good condition with no rust. They look great, but they are used - so there are light scuff...
Yesterday I installed 2013 injectors in place of my stock '07 injectors because my FP and injector duty cycles are way too high. If you've ever wondered how much head room 2013 injectors will give you, here is my data:
Stock Injectors:
4,000 rpm: injector duty cycle 68.7%; FP duty cycle...
I just got an email from American Muscle - they are selling the RXT with flywheel for '07-10 GT500's for $1,199 with free shipping. Heck of a deal that I thought I'd pass on, because I'm in the market for a clutch.
McLeod RXT Twin Disc 1000HP Mustang Clutch w/Flywheel - 26 Spline - 8 Bolt...
We're chasing a hesitation at throttle tip-in, both from a dead stop and at gear changes, when the car is dead cold. Going half throttle from a dead stop when it's cold will even make it nose over and then recover. There doesn't appear to be any issue once the car is warmed up. I've noticed that...
For sale is an 83" Gates Heavy Duty belt. I bought this from Van to fit my TVS with 2.4" pulley, because I was chasing a belt slip problem. I installed it, rode around the block twice, and parked the car. The original problem turned out to be a bad pulley finish, so I've since replaced the...
I'm selling the VMP 2.4" stainless steel pulley from my 2013 TVS. I will say up front that at my power level (650 rwhp) I had belt slip with this pulley on occasion, and that's the reason I changed to a different pulley. Some people have had this issue, some people have not.
I'm selling it...
Well, I'm about halfway through getting my new tank and pumps installed. Here's the progress so far. As stated in my two prior posts, my tank and pumps were rotted out from sitting for over 4 years:
First, I will recommend getting the car on a lift if at all possible. Like many things, it can...
I need a stock fuel pump hat with pumps, and (crossing fingers) a gas tank for a 2007. Please let me know if you have anything you'd be willing to sell and ship this week - thanks.
I recently put up a post about screwy fuel pump and injector duty cycles. Per Van's suggestion, I pulled my fuel pump hat to check the prefilter. Here's what I found. Anybody know if a 2011 hat/pump setup will work in my 2007? I may be able to pick one up cheap, but need to verify that it will work.
Cruising and at idle, I'm showing 15-16%. At the top of a third gear run, when my shift light goes off at 6k, it's bumping up to 48-49%. I'm taking my readings off the Aeroforce gauge, which I assume to be fairly accurate. I can log through Livelink if necessary.
I've got stock...
I like fat, 5-spoked rims and have been looking for something that will fit on my '07. None of the "bargain-priced" rims will fit, and I'm just not going to spend the money for the uber-expensive forged rims out there. I came across these on the Rocket website - has anybody seen these in person...
There are a few threads mentioning this unit, but I've not come across anything specifically discussing mounting locations and fittings. Are we able to mount it in the stock location, or does it have to be mounted at the bottom driver's side of the H/E? Where it mounts dictates what fittings to...
For sale is a set of 8 stock-height EV14 72lb injectors. These are made by Bosch and sell new from Lethal and Revan for about $650. They were originally owned by a fellow SVT forum member, AbdullaGT500, and had very low mileage on them. I bought them assuming I would need them with my new TVS...
I installed my '13 TVS from BJ/Justin last weekend on my '07 and put it on the dyno today. Weather was very nice, about 65 degrees with low humidity. A/F stayed right around 11.2 the whole run, and IAT2's were about 100 degrees. This was with factory midpipe and cats, stock injectors/pumps, 2.4"...
I finally got the Lethal offroad H-pipe installed on my '07 this afternoon. After installing what feels like dozens of midpipes over the years, I can truly say that this one was just a breeze. There's not much to report - it fits up to the manifolds just right, tucks up to the floor nicely, and...
I need one rim for my '07, and I need it to be new, or in perfect condition. Anybody have one they want to sell? If so, please PM me so we can discuss.
Apologies if this has been done before - maybe by TOB.
We all know that a GT midpipe won't fit our cars, but why? While setting up my new Lethal offroad H-pipe on the bench, I thought I'd snap a few pics of it compared to the uplegs of my GT pipe.
First up is the passenger side. As you...
SOLD!
Up for sale is a JLT carbon fiber 110mm CAI for a GT500. I had this on my '07, but I'm not sure what years it will fit. As with all CAI's for GT500's, there is a slight rub mark where it goes under the strut tower brace, but it can't be seen once installed. Otherwise it is in terrific...
I just started my KB BAP install on my '07. Got fuses installed under the hood, and now I'm in the trunk. The problem I'm having is that KB's instructions refer to the "large red wire" coming from the driver's side and going to the passenger side fuel pump driver. There are TWO large red wires...
Don't know if anyone would be interested in these, but I have a new set of anti-rattle clips for the front pads that I'm not using. If you promise to buy me a beer next time you're in Houston, I'm happy to send them to you for free.
Shoot me a PM with your name and address and I'll send them...
