    Alternator replaced and gone bad again within 2 days?

    So a few weeks ago my car was having trouble starting (like a battery was dying) and I took it to the dealership and they said it was the alternator because it was only giving out 12.8 volts. They order a new alternator and install it (14.1 volts checked). Now 2 days later my car is having...

    Advice on ticket

    Hey guys I wanted to get some opinions on this to see if I'm looking at this issue correctly and objectively. I was driving to work and at a part of the road where the lane ends and merges into one lane, a motorcycle police officer pulled someone else over (right at the end of the merging...

    Front and Rear Sway Bars? Or just rears?

    Hey guys, I've been thinking of upgrading the sway bars after I get new shocks for the car to help with handling and body roll, but I'm getting some conflicting information: I called Steeda and talked to someone who told me that a lot of their customers call in and only get the rear sway bar...

    Decided on Brand of Tire, but which size: 255/40 or 275/40?

    Hey Guys after doing a lot of reading it looks like everyone and their mother love Michelin Pilot Super Sports. The only thing I'm stuck on is should I go with the stock brembo size 255/40 or go up to the 275/40? I know they will fit easily on a 9 inch rim, but is the little bit of extra...

    Neutral Profile Relearn/Crankshaft Relearn ever needed regularly?

    Hey guys, I was reading some posts with guys who have the Pro Cal (FRPP Tune) and they claim that when they have excessive pinging (and they are using 91 or 93 octane) they run a "Neutral Profile Relearn" and it helps reduce or eliminate the pinging. My issues is this: I have an AED tune that...

    Hawk HPS vs Hawk 5.0

    Hey guys, its getting time to do the brakes pretty soon (2014 brembo mustang) and I'm stuck between HPS or the new Hawk 5.0. Has anybody had any experience with both or even just the new 5.0 pads? I found reviews for the HPS but not so much the 5.0 street pads. Thanks again.

    Spherical bearing longevity?

    We all know that a spherical bearing is superior to a poly in a lower control arm (less bind, better articulation, etc.). However, one of the obvious shortcomings is the NVH. Personally I feel that I can live with a little NVH if it helps the wheel hop on these cars. The only thing I'm wondering...

    Koni Srt VS Bilsteins

    Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has ever had experience with these on Stock Springs or Brembo Springs. I don't mind paying extra for the Bilsteins but I just want to know if its worth it. I have heard that Bilsteins will out last the car because of their monotube design. If this is true...

    Do these Datalogs OK?

    Hey guys wanted to first say many thanks to "Mastwolf" and his pervious thread on the basics of datalogging. I received my SCT X4 the same day that he put that thread up, and it helped a guy like me who knows very little about datalogging ALOT. I ran a few datalogs (2 WOT in third gear and 1...

    60 hp from CAI?

    So I stumbled upon this C&L intake from American Muscle and it shows that there are curve gains of 57 hp with this intake and tune. Now I can see 20 or 30hp with intake plus tune, but almost 60hp?!! Looking at the graph you can see the stock tune takes a dip in the midrange real bad. I know...

    Cat back: Stainless Works Retro Chambered Performance

    Hey guys, I'm about to pull the trigger on a Stainless Works retro Cat back (Gt500's are great and have served me well but I want something that has more at WOT and beyond 5k rpm; the GT500's seem to drown out). All the you tube clips have sounded great and from what people say the drone isn't...
