    CF TP Option, Add Rear Seat Later?

    The rear seat is sold from Ford to install into the GT350R if one desires. Wonder how easy it will be to do the same if one wanted one back in the GT500 CF TP later as well? Base model seat easily installed? Haven't seen what would keep that from being done yet. Anyone heard?

    No Military Sales

    So, got the bad news today. Ford is not offering the 2020 GT500 to anyone serving overseas through the Military Auto Source program. Sucks. I bought my 2014 through that program when I was deployed then as well. Worked out so awesome for those serving abroad who want to enjoy what they bought...

    Blue Smoke After Dyno

    Customer appreciation day at GTR Hipo this past Sunday which was a car show and dyno competition. I took second, but was disappointed on a couple fronts. For one, my HP and Torque was down. 679/675. And this was on the 100 tune. Couple things that may have dropped it was this time I had on my...

    Torsen done

    Anyone on here replaced the Torsen with something else? I know Birdoc's took a hit as well but not sure what he replaced it with. Seems Torsens are great for track use, but not for high load/high torque clutch drops in a heavy vehicle on DRs or slicks...

    Damage due to no clutch spring?

    So, I was going through a few sites knocking out a few things on my wishlists and happen to come across a replacement clutch spring on one of the more popular sites that helps in the same way of us removing ours, but is just a different amount of spring-rate. (200lb-in stock, their's is...

    Best Front Splitter for High Speeds

    With all the 1/2 mile and mile events grabbing more traction all the time, wondered how the most common front splitters are effecting top speeds. The factory one as I understand it was developed to allow the car to do 200mph and stay on the ground; however, the Shelby carbon fiber unit seems...

    Quarter Master Clutches Info

    When we hear of them, it's typically really good. But you don't hear much. Wondered if anyone here has experience with them, or even better installed their twin disk on their 13/14. I'm about to pull the trigger for my 4th clutch and had 99% decided on a Spec ST-Trim. Being how clutches have...

    Oil temp hot

    I ordered my Shelby without the track pack thinking id be mostly doing drag strip passes. Well, I have been doing quite a bit of rallys and have noticed my oil temp gets up there a bit. Just did one this past weekend and I had to get out of it as it was really getting up there. For the...

    Long Tube Headers 1 7/8" vs 2"

    Wondering if anyone went with 2" headers over the more traditional 1 7/8". Seems most companies only do 1 7/8", but I've had a few people say to go with the 2" over 1 7/8" if at all possible. (American Racing, etc) Plus and Minuses??

    How did you upgrade your stock stereo?

    I don't have Shaker 1000. I prefer hearing my exhaust, but I value a great sounding stereo system when I wish to listen to good quality music. I'd prefer to keep my stock looking unit, but wondered what anyone else has done to increase the quality of their factory systems.

    Cheapest Ford Dealer for Parts

    Seems dealers pretty much price parts as they want, instead of it being a Ford standard price across the board. (Which I hate and frankly think should be illegal) What is the cheapest online Ford site for buying factory parts?

    Billet Pro Shop Brake Caliper Relocation dust shields issue

    Anyone who has installed this kit. Have you had issues reinstalling the factory dust shields? The installer claimed he was unable to install them after installing the kit.

    Solid differential spacer results

    Well, i've done WEEKS worth of research. Read a lot of people who were going to go with a solid spacer to hopefully cure the whine with their gears, but sadly I haven't found anyone or threads that have given the results afterward. Maybe they feel the problem is fixed so they just don't...

    Ace clutch and correct bearing shim.

    Short: Wrong spacers sent with kit. (2) CORRECT 0.050 shims, (1) INCORRECT 1.00" shim. The incorrect one was supposed to be only 1/2". NOT 1". So as I was told by the manufacturer, it was basically burning itself up at a stop sign. For all those installing the ACE twin disk clutch from ACE...

    Hole in Driveshaft boot. :(

    Anyone had this issue yet? Didn't seem wet like anything had been flung out. I haven't called Ford yet. Hoping it can be fixed with just a boot replacement and not an entire drive shaft replacement!

    Wrench check engine light/rough idle

    Twice in the past week, at startup i noticed that little wrench light come on accompanied by a rough idle and rough acceleration. Immediately pulled over on both occasions, turned car off, restarted, and not only was the wrench CEL gone but it rev'd perfectly normal. ??? Insight ???

    Clutch shims?

    So I have an ACE twin disk installed as of about 4-5k miles back. Everything was fine. I'm out of town with the car, and it feels like the clutch wants to engage IMMEDIATELY from the floor, but when the pedal is fully depressed, it then feels like it isn't fully engaged. Almost like you are...

    A loud pop, then smoke

    So I ran another rally on Saturday which took us through Death Valley. Speeds got up there for long durations of time. I have 4.10s. I don't have track pack. I kept my eye on all my parameters and noticed the oil temp higher than usual but still in the green. During a top speed hit, I hit 177 in...

    Gear whine fix?

    I have frpp 4.10s. Thet were put in by a VERY reputable shop. They "were" quiet till going to the drags and now they whine. Actually it's gotten almost unbearable now. Anyone have luck going back into the differential and reshimming to get the whine to go away?

    21" rear wheels lowered?

    Been shopping new daily driver wheels for a long while. Don't want 22s. Don't want the same size I have on their either, but I do like a staggered setup. I've found (2) vehicles so far that are running 20x9.5 and 21x11 setup (and I can still run MPSSs on those) and I like the looks of that a...

    First trip to strip with 4.10s

    Well, didn't go as well as I wanted. Did 6 runs, adjusted pressures on the MT 17" DRs, adjusted launch rpms, etc on every run and couldn't hook at all. Track seemed to hook well for most others, and didn't hear any other complaints of track condition. Being 104 degrees today didn't help. Not to...

    First suspension mod to prevent pitching side ways

    First off: Suspension is 100% stock. Was on the way home from dinner with the wife. Hit entrance ramp to interstate, got up to about 70 uneventfully, merged onto interstate, then rolled into throttle in 3rd next to a semi. Rear end broke loose pitching her a quick bit sideways, though I was...

    5.0 Mustangs and Super Fords magazine no more?

    So, I've been waiting for each monthly edition to come out eagerly as my Shelby had a tech article done for it. October edition was supposed to be out Aug 1, but I haven't seen hide nor hair of it. I'm currently out of the country and have to use the electronic edition to see them. Just read...
