Looking to use one of my OEM rims (18x9.5) as a spare with a radial (non-directional). On the size I was told by discount that to use the spare on all 4 corners it should match the size of the front which is 255/45Z/R18. The rear currently has 295/40Z/R18 & tires are Nitto NT555 G2.
Just...
Wanted to share a situation I'm currently experiencing with my recent Whipple G3 install. I'm having an issue where I get a partial boost hit (2-3 psi) during moderate acceleration. This causes a slight hesitation/power loss and momentary lean condition. Now if I feather the petal I remain in...
Background: Whipple - 2.9 G3 S/C, 123mm CAI & 68mm TB installed on my '07.
Take a look at the following pics, specifically the TB motor and it's proximity to the brake fluid reservoir....
There is no more then a millimeter of clearance between the lower portion of the TB motor to the top of...
In the middle of a Whipple install & looking to see if anyone has input on the following for the spark plug torque:
Ford manual states 13 ft/lbs.
Whipple install manual states 25 ft/lbs.
Huge difference between the 2 but it may be due to the increased boost of the S/C? I'll probably reach out...
Is the following correct concerning the fuel pump fuses on our '07-'09 GT500's:
2007-2009 GT500:
F41 in Buss Electrical Center – BEC (Fuel Pump Relay & Fuel Injectors)
F6 in Auxiliary Relay Box by the strut tower (Fuel Pump #2/15A)
If not what's the correct fuse positions?
EDIT: The above...
Anyone have one of these or aftermarket equivalent? Had no luck finding one online other then the overpriced OEM wrench. Not too interested in using a hammer & chisel to remove this lock ring from my fuel pump. Be my luck & miss the ring and gouge the tank or worst. I'd give it a shot if the...
Thinking of possibly taking advantage of the current sales price of the following:
07-2012 Shelby GT500 Gen 3 W175AX (2.9L) SC Kit / 17psi / Black **Includes Twin 68mm TB, Fuel Pump Booster, 123mm CAI, & Calibration**
$5K shipped, sales price good thru 12/26.

My plans are to install a Trinity TVS with a stock upper pulley 2.67" (68mm), stock lower ('08 damper), 65mm dual TB, JLT 127mm CAI & ID1000 injectors.
My question is - will this setup require a BAP?
If not, what can I expect my FPDC to reach when in WOT?
I'm only going to run 91 octane...
I'm looking at purchasing 18x9 rims for the front & 18x10 for the rear. Currently the OEM rims are 18x9.5 and they use 255 / 45 / R18 for the front. Will this tire size fit the 18x9 without any issue in tire height or should I consider another tire size for the front?
Thanks!

Wanted some input on the following, but first a little background…
The car isn’t a daily driver, it’s used mostly for joyriding & spirited driving. Would like to have the option or ability of tracking the car and going down the ¼ mile.
Also, looking to install a Roush UCA to hopefully rid me...
Tried starting the car a few minutes ago & it's barely cranking. Battery shows 12vdc & car isn't throwing any cells or DTC's. Just in case it's the battery I've got it charging on my CTEK.

Based on a custom tune I have it's set for a commanded A/F ratio of 11.7 @ WOT. I want to change this to 11.4. To achieve this I've been told to add 2% of fuel @ WOT. From what I've read when you begin flashing the PCM with the custom tune you will be prompted to make changes to the tune...
The following picture was taken from an '07-'09 GT500. Like the rims but was unable to find the owner to ask. Looks like it had an SVT center decal or cap.
Cheers,

Does anyone have the part number for the '13 CAI? Trying to see how feasible it would be to upgrade my '07 blower to the '13 TVS & CAI with possibly a Ford Procal tune to match. Also is there a good contact @ Ford Racing that can answer my question about providing a tune to support the above...
During dyno pulls is it normal for dyno operators to take the car to it's RPM limiter? Also, when hitting the RPM limiter and fuel is cut off is it typical to see some white smoke in the exhaust is this pretty much normal? Is there any concern of any engine damage when this is done? The A/F...
