    ObdII multi gauge recommendations?? Banks idash super gauge?

    My current Aeroforce interceptor gauge is starting to go bad and getting hard to read. I was looking at getting a new one and see these Banks idash super gauges look like a nice option. Is there anyone using one or do you have other recommendations?

    Getting Error type Messages and lights any ideas???

    This just started here a couple weeks ago. It has come and gone a few but now seems to be staying. Everything has been working fine other than I can't switch the traction control on and off. The parking brake is not on. The brake fluid level is full, and brake pads are fine. I tried...

    What's my used TR6060 Trans worth?

    I am swapping in a new Tremec Magnum XL into my 07 and would like to sell my stock Tr6060. It has a little over 40k miles on it and I suspect it needs a rebuild as you could feel a little something off while coasting at very slow speeds. A local speed shop looked at it and they think I caught...

    Swapping in a Magnum XL to replace my TR6060

    I was persuaded to go to a new Tremec Magnum XL instead of getting a new tr6060 or rebuilding my existing one. I plan to reuse my existing McLeod RXT clutch setup since it doesn't have very many miles on it. I sourced it from American Powertrain and it includes a new driveshaft. Are there...

    Transmission replacement recommendations??

    Hello, I have recently found evidence that my trans in my 07 is on it's way out and I am looking for recommendations for a good replacement. Most of the use on the car will be light duty street driving but I do plan to take it to the drag track a little just for fun. I have a set of 18"...

    07 with possible transmission issue?

    I recently experienced a low speed kind of pulse like applying brakes when I wasn't and I was getting a noise at this slow speed like a clunk every few feet or so that I could feel slightly in the car. 5 mph or less. The rear end was recently gone through and we ruled that out by disconnecting...

    Best line lock options for an 07?

    I know this has probably been asked a ton and I did search but not a lot current material coming up for the 07-09 era cars. Is modifying the Hurst 05-09 mustang GT line lock version to work in my 07 my best route? Also where do people like to install the button on these cars. I would think...

    Whats the favorite 18" Wheel drag tire these days?

    I just picked up a set of 18x11 rear wheels to use as a drag setup just for fun and I'm wondering what people have had the best luck with. I am limited to an 18" wheel with my coil over suspension so that is the smallest diameter I can run.

    NGK TR7IX or Brisk GR12YS plugs?

    I'm on E85 and around 16-17 psi and I have ran both these plugs without an issue. I'm thinking it might be time to put a fresh set of plugs in just for a piece of mind. Is there a preference between the two anymore? I was sold the Brisk plugs through VMP and advised to run them with my setup...

    295 on an 11" wheel. anyone run it?

    I'm getting ready to order up a set of wheels and tires and I'm able to get the wheels I want but tires are a little limited right now. I want to use a 19x11 in the rear and I was hoping to do a 305/35-19 but nothing is in stock. Will a 295/35-19 look alright on an 11" wheel or will it be too...

    Getting new wheels. 18" vs 19" drag strip in mind.

    I'm looking at getting new wheels, possibly a set of Apex EC-7's. I want these wheels to be multi purpose from street/strip and possibly road coarse in the future. I have Coil over suspension in the rear and 18" is as small as I can go and the sales rep from Apex suggested going to 19's...

    Can I hook 700rwhp on a 18-19" drag radial at the track?

    My last post didn't get much traction (pun intended) so here's another one. I'm looking to run the car at my local 1/4 mile track and need a drag radial setup for the car. My Grigg's racing Coil over suspension works great but from looking at it and searching the internet I will need at least...

    Griggs racing suspension. Widest wheel and tire fitments?? Drag??

    I have Griggs Racing GR40ss Suspension on my 07 GT500 and I'm wondering what people are running for wide fitments in street, track, and drag racing setup. Will a 15" wheel work in the rear for a drag racing setup with straight axle, koni coil overs, and the 315 tires fitment brackets? I'm sure...

    Vibrations at higher speeds. Any ideas?

    I get what appears to be a driveline vibration at about 100+ MPH and it get's worse and more violent the faster I go. Anything below 100 is perfectly smooth. It doesn't have anything to do with RPM and I have tried different gears including neutral and coasting and there is no change. I...

    Amsoil Severe Gear Lube need a friction additive?

    I'm just getting ready to install the freshly rebuilt rear axle under my shelby and I picked up some Amsoil Severe Gear 75-140 for it but it doesn't say on the package weather or not it needs an additional friction modifier. My local Amsoil dealer said the old stuff didn't need it and he thinks...

    I bought a Shelby Super Snake hood...looking at finally installing it.

    About 4 years ago I got a heck of a deal on a genuine Shelby Fiberglass Ram Air Hood. Life got busy and I had just started a pro touring build on my 70 mach 1 so the hood got tucked away for a later date. I have the Mach 1 pretty well finished up and so now I'm thinking about playing with the...

    Thinking of rebuilding my rear axle. What to use for parts?

    My 07 GT500 has pretty good gear whine and I'm thinking about taking a crack at trying to eliminate it or at least tame it down. My question is what parts (gears, limited slip, bearings) do I install? Car has about 51K miles on it. Previous owner logged about 39K pretty hard miles on the car...

    Can my gear whine be eliminated? or close?

    My car has had gear whine since I purchased it and although its pretty annoying I was living with it. I recently had my driveshaft off to rotate it trying to track down a driveline vibration and just checking things over and put a ratchet on my pinion nut just to make sure it wasn't lose and...

    Anyone replace Carpet yet? OEM? ACC?

    I am working on some small projects on my Shelby to freshen it back up a little bit and starting in the warn areas and especially those that are obsolete parts or probably will be soon. The previous owner put quite a few miles on a road course track and the carpet is pretty warn under the brake...

    worthwhile performance gains from 2.5" exhaust to 3"

    My 07 Gt500 has been on the back burner for the last 4 years and I'm just starting to give it a little attention again. The rest of my mods are in my sig but for exhaust I have Dynatech long tube headers with Dynatech 2.5" off road X pipe, stock 2.5" pipe from there to Ford racing SVT1 (Borla...

    My 07 Gt500 has been on the back burner for a while but now that I have a few projects finished up I want to start using it again.

    Current line lock kits on the market? 07 GT500?

    It's been A while since I've been on but I have been toying with the idea of throwing a line lock on my 07 GT500. I was going to install a SLP line lock a while back but never pulled the trigger and now I see they aren't available. A few other places like JPC list them for the 10-14 models but...
