I'm due for a new tensioner on my car. Mine's starting to make noises, and it's noticeably weaker than the last time I changed a belt... I'd love to get the ThumpRRR Racing billet tensioner, but for $395, I'm going to have to take a pass on it for now. Are there any other aftermarket...

Will a worn set of copper plugs affect the air fuel ratio? Over the course of a month or two, I noticed that the average air fuel ratio during idle and part throttle driving has become slightly more rich than it used to be. According to my AEM Wideband Failsafe gauge the air fuel ratio...

I have been running a BBK twin 65MM throttle body for a couple years and I'm finally ready to port match it to the upper intake. Before I do so, I'd like to hear some feedback from those who have done it already. I'm curious to know what the gains are with a larger TB both before and...

I upgraded my throttle body to a BBK Twin 65MM unit a while ago. I haven't really noticed much extra power yet, but I realize I still need to port match the upper intake to the 65mm openings from the 57mm openings. Without port matching, I'm probably not getting any of the benefits of the...

I've been reading more and more information about the new Procharger i-1 variable ratio centrifugal blower. Most of it is the basic press release stuff and some limited tests. But I haven't really read or heard about anything from the people actually using it. We've all been...

I was reading an old issue of 5.0 Mustang from May 2012 called "Crossing The Line" where some suspension bits were added to a GT with a centrifugal blower. The motor wasn't the focus of the story, but there were some pictures in the article that showed a peculiar piece of tubing right before...

I've noticed my parking brake light has been on. Over the past few months, it would start to come on when I was coming to a stop as if it were an indicator for the regular brakes. Now, instead of coming on sporadically during braking, its coming on more often during regular driving, except...

I have an AEM wideband failsafe gauge I've been using for a few months now. It has a neat feature that lets you control a timing retard, wastegate, or anything else you can think of to protect the engine if the AFR gets outside of a safe level that's been programmed in the software. Without...

I upgraded to a T-56 a long time ago, but never thought about this until I changed a clutch by myself and realized how much heavier the 6-speed is compared to my original T-45. My highest dyno numbers were through the T-45, but I can't make any direct comparisons because of how many other...

We've seen lots of stories of people splitting pushrod blocks quite literally down the middle because they've exceeded the power capabilities of the block. For a stock 302 block, it was around 600 HP. Anything more than that, and you're on thin ice. We've had these arguments with modular...

I have a friend with a 2012 5.0 who just went on an impulse spending spree on some gauges without following my advice on what type of AF ratio gauge to get. Among other gauges, he bought a prosport volt & air fuel gauge. This gauge didn't come as a kit with a wideband sensor, and it can be...

One of the things I've never really liked about either one of the Mustangs I've owned is the seats. My first Mustang was an '83 T-Top GT with the ugly red interior and awful 80's seats. Everything else about that car was awesome and I wish I kept it. Anyway, it didn't take me long to...

I hate idiot lights as much as everyone else in this forum, but I'm trying to think of a stealthy and factory-appearing way to mount a warning light for the failsafe output of my AEM Wideband gauge. This gauge is sweet. One of the nicest I've ever seen or installed. Not only does it read...

has anyone thought of any creative and low key mounting options for gauges? I already have a triple A pillar gauge pod and I don't want my interior to look any more like a cockpit than it already does. center console? glove box? Under the dash somewhere?

Has anyone installed a set of Trick Flow 2V heads and cams on their trucks? It's a popular upgrade for the 4.6 Mustang GT's, but I'm sure there are HUGE gains to be had with the S/C 5.4 which shares the same restrictive "PI" heads as the Mustang GT.

Has anyone heard about the new procharger variable ratio centrifugal supercharger? It's called the i-1 and has an electronic controller that lets you switch between ratios (and boost levels). From the animation, it looks like it's a CVT type design, but I can't be sure. I've been...

Procharger Bypass Valve for sale. It is the butterfly bypass valve that comes standard in most of their P1 and D1 kits. make an offer

Looking for a 99/01 Cobra Front Bumper Cover with left and right foglight assembly. If anyone has one painted Electric Green laying around, that would be ideal!

Pro 5.0 aluminum shifter handle for sale. Will bolt to any other type of shifter with the standard 2 bolt setup. I can sell it either with or without a stock T-56 shifter assembly Make an offer

I'm just curious to know what people's real world experiences are with a centrifugal blower compared to a stock style roots blower running relatively conservative boost and HP levels of around 10-15PSI and 500HP +/- 100 or so. I don't want this to be a debate about which one is better. This...

I installed a slick wideband gauge from AEM a few months ago. It's the wideband failsafe gauge that not only can display the air fuel ratio, but also can display vac/boost on either the center OLED display or the color configurable outside LED ring using different faceplates. It is...

A couple years ago, Wiseco introduced a 351 big bore/stroker kit for the coyote 302 at the PRI show. But nothing ever came of it afterwards. No tests, no videos, no articles, nothing. I was lucky enough to have obtained a pass to this year's PRI show in Orlando and when I stopped by the...

I lucked out and scored a pass to the PRI show from a buddy at work. Anyone gone before? What's it like? What should I expect? But the more important question is: who's going to the PRI show this weekend? It's the last time it will take place in Orlando before it gets moved to Louisville...

Has anyone seen the article in the latest issue of 5.0 mustangs and super fords? It's the same one that made 750ish whp with basic bolt ons, longtubes, exhaust, OD pulley, smaller blower pulley, TB, and other bits and pieces. They put the car back to stock, except the longtubes, and...

I saw a pretty sweet deal on a set of gt500 cams (same as the GT supercar) and was thinking it might be a good upgrade over the stock 03/04 cams that came with the heads I have. Is this a worthwhile upgrade? All I'm looking for is just a little more power throughout the powerband. I don't...
