    2012 GT500 safe max power with stock exhaust manifolds

    I have a similar setup to you. I originally left my manifolds and just did off-road hpipe. I did it due to cost. A couple years later I bit the bullet and added headers. I think it gained 20-25 hp but more importantly the torque below 3,000 rpm felt so much stronger. Yea it’s pricey and not the...

    Justified Response??? | Race Track Fight

    Racing for a win and he got hit off track. Understandable that he is mad, but you cant stop the race basically and you and your crew try to fight with him in car. That has to wait until after race.

    1994 Ford Thunderbird & Mercury Cougar XR-7 | Retro Review

    My mom bought a 97 model right when I turned 16 and started driving, it was a pearl white color. Thing was awesome. Even though it isn’t fast by todays standards, it was pretty quick for its time. I won many a race with it in high school. The one I remember most is my friend who’s mom had got a...

    Dyno after 1320 port job

    Cat monkey Now that this thread is back up I want to tell you, you were right. The hump was cut out. I didn’t ask for it so I assumed it wasn’t done. I guess he just started doing all of them like that at the end. Still happy with it 1.5 years later.

    Duralast Max Ceramic Brake Pads DGC1001 discontinued what's everyone using now??

    do they still make the duralast gold ceramic pads? I had those on my car for years and they were great. I replaced my rotors a couple years ago and I decided to change pads while I was at it and they upgraded me to the max ones. I said cool deal and took them, but would have been perfectly fine...

    To Lower, or not to Lower...that's the question

    10-4. I will try that and see and work from there. I was just wondering. To get it to work on the street like I want I may just have to put up with a lil bounce at slow speeds. Thanks for your settings.

    To Lower, or not to Lower...that's the question

    I literally just did this setup last month. I got a bouncy ride until about 45. I think I figured the bouncy ride out last night, but I had to tighten the strange struts all the way. Now it doesn’t transfer weight like it was and doesn’t grip as well. What is your setting on the strange and...

    Spark Plug Removal

    I have done it quite a few times and never had a problem. It’s very easy to do too. I think that spark plug problem was just for certain year 3v that had those bad spark plugs that would break apart
