Revolution Automotive threw in some 5w50 oil when they had the car in December to install a VMP supercharger. Since then I've put about 3,000 miles on the car and may put another 1,000 on it by December. As of right now the oil life meter on the car is at 71% oil life. In my previous high...

I heard that it's possible to find re-purposed Brembos for non-Brembo 11-14 GTs but I can't find any links on information for them. If anyone has a link that can be passed along that would be great.

I've always planned on strictly using pump gas but I'm thinking about expanding my options, just for safety sake. I don't have easy access to E85 and I know that running octane boosters every fill up can hurt plugs so I'm wanting to get some insight on "race" fuel. As of right now I've only...

I'm looking for personal opinions on where to go with my build. I'm planning on getting a new dyno tune from Revolution Automotive in the fall, hoping to close in on 600rwhp 500+rwtq on the current setup but while it's there I'm thinking it might be a good time to do something or a few other...

Curious on this subject, it's more for research and knowledge transfer than anything else since I've never looking into the details of building an engine before. I have a VMP Stage 2 kit on my '14 currently. I have billet OPG and crank gear already in the engine. I'm running the 82mm pulley...

I'm currently running the following mods: -VMP Gen 2 Stage 2 kit (56# injectors, bap, 82mm pulley) -Initial tune that shipped with the kit from VMP -Billet OPG and crank gear -Whiteline LCAs -GT500 axleback I don't have a boost gauge but I am assuming by car is roughly 10psi. I'm wondering at...

I have a 2014 GT, auto car that I put a VMP Gen 2 Stage 2 supercharger on. It's the basic Stage 2 kit, 82mm pulley with 56# injectors and BAP. The supercharger is the only power mod done to the car. The tune I'm running is the initial email tune that came with the X4 and the kit. I had the car...

I had a shop install my VMP Stage 2 kit which came with the VMP BAP and 56# injectors. The guy at the shop said I'd make more power with a BAP, but I'm pretty sure he is just the front desk guy so maybe he was not educated on what comes with the kit. In any case, I'd like to confirm that the BAP...

I picked up a set of Whiteline adjustable LCAs in winter that haven't been put on yet. I know when I install them I'll need to get an alignment but Whiteline recommends driving for 100 miles and then re-checking the torque on the bolts. If the LCAs are measured the same length as stock, can I...

I need to buy a new DD so my wheel/tire budget for the Mustang is taking a hit...I'm researching options in my stock size (track pack wheels) and I found these Firestone Indy 500 tires on Tire Rack for 255/40R19. Link below, hopefully it's allowed. They look like a pretty good tire, and have...

I'd like to get everyone's opinions on what SVE Drift wheels to run. Not sure if I want to go staggered 18x9/10 with 255/45 and 285/40 or 18x10 squared with 285/40. Car is a 2014 GT that is currently having a VMP TVS kit installed. Should make in the neighborhood of 600rwhp. It's just a fun...

Dropped my car off to get the build going. -VMP Stage 2 TVS supercharger (82mm pulley, 56# injectors, 60mm TB, JLT 123) -Boundary oil pump gears -TSS crank gear -Brisk RR14YS 1 step colder plugs -UPR TVS Plug and Play catch can Install is going to cost about $3,250...not real happy about that...

Thus far I've ordered the following parts over the last few days: -VMP Stage 2 TVS kit -Brisk spark plugs -Boundary OPG -TSS crank gear -Whiteline LCAs -UPR catch can for TVS cars Is there anything else that would be NEEDED or recommended? I saw someone on Facebook said he also got an ATI...

Going to be buying a Stage 2 VMP TVS supercharger soon and I'm wondering if the colder spark plug option is worth it. On the site the optional colder plugs are recommended for Stage 3 kits. I'll be running 93 octane (10% ethanol), may throw in Torco or similar on rare occasion. Don't plan on...

Anybody know if some vendor makes a dash mounted gauge pod for the 11-14 GT? Basically what I think would be a good idea would be either a plastic or thick rubber mount that sit right on the top of the dash in the center where that little notch out/recessed area is. Pic for reference.

For the first time I will be venturing into getting wider tires for a car when I throw 285's on my '14 Mustang. The factory size I have are 255's. I'm wondering if there will be any noticeable fuel economy decreases with the wider tires. Logic would dictate that it would but I figured why not...

As weird as it may be to say this, I've never actually changed wheels on a car. I'm definitely planning on it with this car since the tire options for the track pack wheels aren't that great. I'm pretty set on getting SVE Drift wheels but I'm not sure about what size would be best. From the...

Anybody run these tires for the rear on the stock brembo/track pack wheels? Amazon Link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016PZIVCC/ref=pd_day0_293_8?ie=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B016PZIVCC&pd_rd_r=BHM89ME19QZSS8E0YWWK&pd_rd_w=75WXB&pd_rd_wg=ReM9X&psc=1&refRID=BHM89ME19QZSS8E0YWWK I believe they're...

Trying to boost my basic knowledge on this (pun intended). 1. Is the car operable and safe to drive if the SC pulley belt slips/snaps? What would I lose if it happens? 2. Does the supercharger require any additional warm-up or cooldown under spirited street driving conditions? For...

I'll be getting an X4 tuner from VMP with my supercharger package and I am planning on getting two tunes pre-loaded on it, one for the stock exhaust and one to account for having the cats removed with an ORH that I will be ordering alongside the supercharger. I'm wondering how long it generally...

Trying to boost my knowledge before I boost my car. I'm going with a VMP Stage 2 kit for my '14 GT and I have some questions about how the TVS operates. 1. Is the car operable and safe to drive if the SC pulley belt slips/snaps? 2. Does the supercharger require any additional warm-up or...

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the search feature on this forum to work properly :rollseyes Is there some kind of trick I don't know about? Just about every time I click "Search Forum" and select "Show Threads" and type in keywords I get a message that the search is too...

I'd appreciate some input on my planned build. I'll be doing the install myself with a friend who has done a few installs himself and I do have a friend that works at JPC that can probably assist if we get into a pinch. 2014 GT automatic -VMP Stage 2 TVS kit (56# injectors, colder plugs...

Making my first real contribution to SVTPerformance other than asking newbie questions. I posted this on LS1Tech a while back when I had my Trans Am, figured it might be good to share here as well. Great write-up on torque converters, taking into consideration stall speed and STR. Obviously...

I used to have an LS1 F-body which was plagued by rear end failures due to the weak 10-bolt rear. Being an auto and never seeing the track mine lasted until I sold the car luckily without any issues. I'm planning on throwing a lot more power through the Mustang though so I'm wondering if I'll...
