    Looking for a Knock Trouble shooting checklist

    Tuners, Since the 13-14's seem really have really sensitive knock sensors, is there a checklist or trouble shooting guide you guys go through to differentiate between false knock, sensitivity and hard knock? My car just seems so eager to pull timing but immediately throws it back in. Especially...

    Tuners: What are the tell tale signs of bad gas?

    After joining the FI world and learning more and more about how important fuel quality is, what can I do to test/ monitor the fuel quality for 93 octane? I understand that bad gas will cause pre-detonation and the car will pull timing and add it back. So is there someway I can monitor this? E85...

    Budget Boost Build Thread

    After running Nitrous for the past year and a half, I have come to the conclusion that Street Outlaws make it look way more sexy than it really is. Turning the bottle on/off, swapping tunes and refilling bottles got old quick. Honestly, the kit was only added to keep the local Vette's humble...

    Looking to Buy a Vortech/Paxton Kit but have questions on essential parts

    Looking to pick up a vortech tuner kit and run it with my nitrous outlet kit. It is my intent to occasionally spray a 50-75 shot on the bottom end and have it ramp down using my progressive switch. I am targeting 650hp.

    Supercharger vs. Turbo Price Comparison Question

    After its all said and done, how much have you guys invested in your FI setup? I'm tempted to pull the trigger on a paxton kit and target 700hp but I have a feeling the costs between that and going turbo would be comparable.

    Issues with Concavo Wheels

    I just noticed that AmericanMuscle.com is now carrying my wheels and just wanted to give some feedback. Back in January I had approached the President of the company about making a set for the Mustang to clear Brembos. I wanted to do something different and try and fit a 20x10 up front. They...

    Suggestions on fitment with 10.5 wide wheel (Pics)

    I wanted to try something different, so I ordered these Concavos in 20x10.5's with a 43mm offset. They clear the brembos up front but not sure how they will sit with tires. There is only 1/2" clearance between the wheel and the strut. I know some of you have gotten away with 10's and 11's. But...

    Need opinions on Falken FK453 vs. Nitto NT555

    I'm looking to run 285/30/20 in all 4 corners and I am contemplating Falken FK453 vs. Nitto NT555's. They will be going on 10.5 wide rims. I know the Nittos run a little narrow (11.04) which might be better up front but I don't want it to look stretched on the rim. The Falkens are 11.5in wide...

    Need Tire size recommendations for 20x10.5 up front?

    I am leaning toward a 285/30/20 on a 20x10.5 wheel for the fronts. I am currently lowered on coilovers. From what I've searched in the forums, a 285 will not be an issue. Do you guys agree?

    Here are some pics of the installation. I partially installed the kit by mounting the hardline plate system and spark plugs. I was charged 20 hours for the install at $100 an hour. Aside from getting a nice, clean install, would you agree with the 20 hours? I was originally quoted 15. Nitrous...

    How many hours should it take to install a Nitrous Plate kit?

    I dropped the car off at a "reputable" shop for a nitrous outlet plate kit installation on Monday (No one on here!). I am curious what you guys figure I would expect to spend for the installation. The shop charges $100 an hour. Before dropping the car off, I assembled and installed the plate...
