    Hurt Shifter Tip

    So here's a pro tip for y'all if you aren't too bright like me. Never trust the two bolts holding the hurt shifters linkage to the main assembly. You might THINK it comes tight from the factory, always remove the bolts, put loctite, and use a hex key and tighten back up... why? My shifter...

    Is my hydroboost normal?

    I'm not sure if I made this thread a LONG time ago or not so if I did I'm sorry, but basically my hydroboost hisses when I engage it, and I mean HISSES, my idle falls a bit too, also it'll engage the second stage of the brake if that makes sense, like it'll click into the second stage it won't...

    SCT X4 no 91 octane fuel option?

    When I go to fuel the only listing is "93, Race Gas". Why is there no 91? In the menu it says choose between two vehicles, "Mustang Cobra" or "5.4l Cobra R" So obviously I'm choosing Mustang Cobra, everything else in the tuning works. YES it's updated.

    I don't just like going fast in a straight so I need the correct sidewalls for handling. I'm thinking 275/40/17 NITTO nt555 G2s for rear, and 245/45/17 for fronts (can I go 255?). How about NT05 for rears? (how long do they last though). This is all on stock 17x8 I can't afford wider wheels...

    What's the most power you can squeeze out of a 99 Cobra?

    FULL Bolt ons what are we looking @? Even the extras like under drive pulleys and coil packs and all that. Just wondering if it'll be enough for my tastes or should I go for an eaton swap, I guess if I'm even asking that question I know the answer already

    4.10 vs 4.30 for my driving needs.

    So first I decided on 3.73 vs 4.10 but 3.73 is totally out now, the 3.27s on are SUCH A DOG that the cobra literally feels like a 2 cylinder until you hit 4000 RPM (why ford..). So I'm trying to decide between 4.10 vs 4.30 now. I do mainly city driving so the mpg doesn't matter much (what's the...

    New rotor and pads, what is going on?

    So I changed the rotors to EBC rotors and the pads are hawk pads, so they come painted in black and obviously when the pads grab on they remove the paint. The problem is the LEFT rotor still has a streak of paint in the middle while the right rotor has 90% of it removed. So what's going on here...
