    Just use a tire size calculator to find the recommended size you need. You'll need to keep the outer diameter difference under 10% otherwise it could cause issues with ESP system. Tire Size Calculator

    Thanks for the info. Is the twin 67 big enough for your 13? What's the drivability difference between the mono like. Currently have a frpp mono that's not installed as it keeps putting my car into limp mode. What's the duty cycle on you injectors under wot? Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using the...

    I thought all gt500's had fully forged rotating assemblies. I know freak stuff can happen as my coworker totalled his 14 gt500 that had cams and long tubes that he was unable to recover. Anyway, I think I'm going to just try to max out the stock blower or see what pops up in the for sale forum...

    So just for clarity, what is the recommended maximum safe power limit for the 07-09 motors before having to open and fortify the engine? What is the most common weak link? I could build the engine up myself as I work on cars for a living. Honestly, I just don't want to. Especially when it comes...

    Well my intended purpose is to not get embarrassed during impromptu highway encounters with all the hellcats and modded scat packs in my area if I'm spending this amount of money in mods. I initially bought the car because of the potential ease of higher power with simple mods obviously it was...

    After doing some high-tech research on Youtube (sarcasm) it looks like you may be right on needing a bigger blower. Found these two making my goal #'s with the 3.4L on stock motor @ around 20#. So is there no way to spin the 2.9L to 750+? After watching JD's video it made me believe the 3.4L...

    What is exactly the henderance on making 750+ rwhp on a stock motor with proper fuel and intake/exhaust mods? I plan to use the water/meth as a safety net not specifically tuned for it. I like the idea of e85 but it's not widely available and I daily drive my gt500 so e85 is out the question. My...

    I watched JD's video which is what made me consider the vmp. Not sure why I would need to install cams to reach those #'s. I already have all basic mods on my car except fuel and lower crank. I should be able to get close with 21-23#'s of boost. I also plan to spray water/meth through the...

    So tax return season is upon us and I want to finally get a new bigger blower. My ultimate goal is 750-800 rwhp without dipping into the engine internals. I'm stuck between the gen 3 2.9 Whipple and the gen 3 vmp. I really want the Whipple based on looks and displacement but the new vmp blower...

    WTB TUBE FOR BLOWER CASE

    Not sure if you're going to be able to find that separate. However, the damage doesn't look too bad. You should be able to repair it with a set of punches and needle nose pliers. Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using the svtperformance.com mobile app

    20 Alcoa Wheels prices

    Being that I daily drive my car on rough roads I'll likely going to sell my alcoa's and get something I can live with possibly getting damage and put that money else where although I love the way they look on the car. Sent from my PURE XL using the svtperformance.com mobile app

    I want my vert to look like this but maybe doing some kind of color matching with the wheels since the theme is pretty much red with black accents. Sent from my PURE XL using the svtperformance.com mobile app

    20 Alcoa Wheels prices

    I was just looking through the seller market place and seen a couple of for sale posts for 20 Alcoa wheels. My mouth nearly hit the floor after seeing the prices. My car came with the original 20 Alcoa wheels when I bought it a few years ago. I kinda knew the wheels were expensive but good golly...

    Tuning/throttle body issues

    I would assume that the same electronics in the frpp stock throttle body are the same parts installed on the mono blade. Also I believe Ford oem parts come with a 2 year replacement warranty. Sent from my PURE XL using the svtperformance.com mobile app

    Tuning/throttle body issues

    So I've been doing some research on Ford electronic throttle bodies and confirmed the issues I had were due to the throttle body. I found a couple of good reference video's on how to check and diagnose this issue and is relevant to all Ford electronic throttle bodies. , , & . I haven't...

    Tuning/throttle body issues

    They sent me a new tune that omitted the mono blade and so far I'm having no issues. But I still would like to use the mono but thought of it failing and leaving my car stranded is not something I want to deal with. I guess a option is to carry the tools and the stock throttle body to swap if it...

    Tuning/throttle body issues

    I knew the mono blade was likely too much for my set up but I do have plans to eventually go to a 2.9 or 3.4 Whipple. I bought the mono blade about a year and a half ago for a $450 which I thought was a price too good to pass up. It has a build date of 4/22/15 so it should have been one of the...

    Tuning/throttle body issues

    I believe the mono blade to be the issue. As soon as I connect the throttle body and turn the ignition on without starting, it sets both P2104 and P2112 codes. The throttle body does actuate to fully open and closed positions with the accelerator pedal. Not sure if the throttle motor are drawing...

    Tuning/throttle body issues

    I've been in contact with the tuner trying to resolve the issue. They state the the tune file they sent is a well known good file that has worked on several other gt500. I didn't think I needed to go the local tuner route as these cars are pretty old and I don't have anything wild done to my...

    Tuning/throttle body issues

    I'm having issues with a mail order tune I just received from a well known reputable tuner. My current setup on my 07 GT500 is a 123 jlt intake, off road x pipe, fresh NGK TR6 plugs gapped at .028" (required according to tuner), and FRPP mono blade throttle body. I originally got a free custom...

    How do you put OEM TPMS sensor bands on wheels?

    I believe the OEM style was a screw type band. It's not the best setup as you may encounter the sensor moving causing excessive vibration due to out of balance wheel. Also another down side of the band style is that every time you need to remove the tire you run the risk of breaking the sensor...

    Gen 3 2.9 Whipple upgrade?

    Is it possible to spin the 3.4 to 17-22 on the stock size lower or will I need a 10% lower? Also I'd rather run a meth injection kit for a octane boost rather than deal with the hassle of e85. Torqo is a option if I know I'm going to be racing at the track. I'm just trying not to over spend on...
