    Looking for some upgrade help

    Thanks for your quick response. The car will be used for street driving mostly, with occasional track use, mainly drag strip over actual track driving. Very much a beginner with that stuff at this point. The car is the standard weight for a gt premium, which I believe is like 3850 or...

    Looking for some upgrade help

    I have a 2013 mustang GT that is currently around 600 rwhp. I'm building up a plan to take it to 800-900 rwhp. I've worked with the folks from Brenspeed on the engine in the past, so I'm pretty set on that. As always, if anyone with tips has questions, please let me know and I'll be happy to...

    Worth upgrading to the S550 from a S197?

    For the people that chose the 2015 and newer as their answer, would your answer change if you were going to built a fully built motor in your 2013-14? If the plan was to do that no matter what, would the 15 and above still win out in your opinions?

    Suggested upgrades to Roush Suspension Kit

    I wanted to ask the mustang pros on this forum if you guys could give me some suggestions. I have went through the forums, and googled the crap out of it... but didn't really get a concise answer. Before I upgraded under the hood, I started with upgrading the suspension. I did the Roush all...

    Info for aftermarket hood cost for prep and installation

    No, it's actually the red candy metallic from 2013. I believe Ford went to the ruby red in 2014 and beyond. The local body shops I've talked to local have said the same thing, because these aftermarket places are just pumping them out, they require a lot of prep work, and they pretty much all...

    Info for aftermarket hood cost for prep and installation

    Did that include the cost of the hood itself, or just the work paint/fitment work?

    Info for aftermarket hood cost for prep and installation

    I wanted to ask the crowd here there experiences in what they've seen for prep time and costs... fitting, and costs of painting and blending for aftermarket hoods. Not including the cost of the hood... I was quoted almost 2k for the body work... fitment, paint labor, and paint supplies. I will...

    Suggestions for Drag tire size and wheel to go with it

    I apologize, I should have mentioned that the car would be used mainly for car shows and messing around... and the occasional drag strip (not sure how much)... so I look at it as the clark kent/superman style of wheels.... Not sure if that changes your answers or not.. but I would need...

    2013 vs 2015 and newer torque numbers comparison

    I did not use these forums... and gears cost the same (to my knowledge).. so there is no monetary incentive. I must have associated that gear set with a NA setup... I'm not sure why I was focused on that gear ratio. It's fine... I'll keep trying these... and if I don't like them, I'll switch...

    2013 vs 2015 and newer torque numbers comparison

    The car already has long tube headers. I'm actually quite shocked to hear everyone denouncing 3.73 gears. When I did research on what to change the gear ratio to, it was hands down everywhere i went said 3.73... including the tuner that did the installation for me.... so I'm curious as to why...

    2013 vs 2015 and newer torque numbers comparison

    The car was taken to them and they custom tuned it. I believe the Roush CAI is a closed system. TBH, if I had to do over again, I would have had the block beefed up first, than I would have added the blower and all the components, but I was learning as I went.... and jumped the gun a bit. The...

    2013 vs 2015 and newer torque numbers comparison

    The tune is a custom Brenspeed tune designed under their "710R corvette killer" package. I will have to load my tuner up and see what the timing and fuel is set for.... I don't know off hand. My exhaust setup is a 1 7/8 Kooks long tuber header... with an offroad H pipe... stock catback... with...

    2013 vs 2015 and newer torque numbers comparison

    I did come off a bit harsh.. and I apologize for that. However, I do have to admit, that nothing irritates me more , than when people ask specific questions... and get answers like that. People's opinions on what I or anyone else should or should not pay attention to was not the point. I...

    2013 vs 2015 and newer torque numbers comparison

    Thank you for the answer.... ( I mean that)... I was looking into upgrading my injectors and utilize a half e85/ 93 octane setup.. either ID 96lb ones... or Deatschwerks

    2013 vs 2015 and newer torque numbers comparison

    Your reply was spot on for the analogy used.... however there was a key component missing: It still didn't address any of the questions I had asked. 1. Your response makes the assumption that all I care about are numbers. 2. If I'm not supposed to get caught up in numbers... then why is...

    2013 vs 2015 and newer torque numbers comparison

    Absolutely zero of the 26 words (not counting the numbers) you used answered any of the questions I had asked. If I would have asked "should I get caught up by numbers" ... then your short answers would have been sufficient. "Don't get caught up in the numbers" is a cop out... and a very weak...

    I'm looking for help and information concerning torque numbers for my 2013 Mustang. It is modified, and I will the engine mods below. I'm trying to figure out what supporting mods will add more off the line torque.... and torque in general. My car currently sits at just below 600rwhp along...
