Just for kicks and giggles. I just noticed after watching the old car chase classic “white lightning” for the 1,000th time, the motor in Gator’s car. When Burt Reynolds’s character gets out of prison and the feds give him the runnin’ car, when they pop the hood and look at the motor its has CS...

Gonna Pull the trigger and swap my GT500 for a new 2020 Challenger Hellcat Redeye Widebody. I have absolutely fell in love with the Redeye Widebodies. Very heavy, but stable and powerful. I have previously owned a 2012 392 challenger and it was no slouch at just 485 crank hp. Inspite of the...

Man as much as I absolutely love my 13 GT500, I have been kind of itching to check out a brand new, 2019/20 Hellcat wide body. Its fully loaded and decent power levels at the factory 717 hp. I was actually heading to Lithia Springs to check one out this morning. I was standing on mine pretty...

Just wanted to share something with other guys who love performance vehicles and driving. In an attempt to get my mind off of the news today, I was cruising my local “backroad circuit” around where I live. Its really rural, and on Sunday evenings there is no traffic at all on these roads. I...

Hey guys. I have a 2013 GT500. Basic bolt ons and tune. VMP 69mm throttle body, JLT 123mm CAI, 2.4 upper pulley w/idler, cooler plugs, custom canned lund tune with ngauge device. Installed mods a couple months ago. All is well, runs REAL strong. Put 2,000 miles on her like this. Now suddenly the...

I have a squeaking /chirping sound coming from what seems like the drivers side, but definitely the rear of my car. It only does it when you are moving very slow over easy bumps (weirdly not on big bumps) and seems a bit more pronouced when turning really slow as you creep along. I had the...

Im so thankful for the Lord Jesus and all of his many blessings in my life. Merry Christmas and God bless you all gentleman! May you all have a good one and a great year in 2020.

Man I was kinda hating on the new GT500 because of no true manual trans being offered, pricing, delayed stats and availability, etc. But watching the rich punchable kid drive his thru the mountain passes on youtube makes me want one... Man that thing sounds pretty sweet. I might learn to live...

I have about 20,000 on the clock now. Only mods are 2.4 upper, jlt CAI, cooler sparks, VMP 69mm throttle body, lethal 3” off road h pipe, MGW gen 2 short throw shifter and lund custom tune. It is now running stronger and Im starting to notice some handling week points. It seems like it is a bit...

I finished all of my bolt ons yesterday and loaded the tune today. I data logged it just as Lund said too do. Idled a bit, then two part throttle pulls from 2500-4500rpm’s. Then one WOT from 2500-6500rpm. Then let idle again and stopped logging. About to email the data log to lund. Do they have...

Hey I am about to start bolt ons and I just started showing 16 psi now in cooler weather (last 3 days) everytime I run the revs up. Im wondering if the previous owner had already done the upper pulley swap and returned to stock tune before I bought her. Everything I read says the factory boost...

I just bit the bullet and bought the VMP twin 69mm throttle body, reische 170 degree t stat, VMP 2.4 upper, VMP 90mm idler, Lethal off road H pipe, BR7EF spark plugs and the Lund n gauge. Adding all of this to my stock trinity with the exception of a recently installed JLT 123 big air CAI. I...

For the life of me I don’t understand how if we dont change the plugs every 3-4,000 miles these 5.8 shelbys start running less than special. I forget each time until it starts barely stumbling/surging a bit off of idle and then remember the plugs. The NGK TR6’s or 7’s both seem to do it. I am...

P1229 code. Supercharger intercooler pump not operating condition. I only noticed it because I checked for diagnostic codes. There are no check engine lights or anything that are present. Seems to run fine, what are my possible causes? Shouldnt the check engine light be on if there were a real...

Im still fairly new to the shelby game (Ive owned my 2013 GT500 for close to a year now). I have had several muscle/performance cars in my day but these babies really react to hot weather more than any Ive had before. When the outdoor temps drop 15 degrees or more mine pulls like it has an...

I was reading in an old 2013 Shelby magazine article today that Shelby doesn’t even crack the valve covers on the 2013 GT500’s for the 850hp Super Snake upgrade. The article states that because the stock 5.8 trinity is designed for high boost for extended periods, they just add the optional...

Its still pretty hot today here in good ole’ GA, but a fine day for cruising around in the GT500... Man since I got her running smooth it pulls so good. I put 100 miles or more on it just going no where in particular. In its stock form these 2013’s seems made for (at least to me) running 70-90...

Hey fellows, I just did a CAI and canned tune on my 2103 GT500. I am about to change pulley size, get a metco idler set up, and upgrade the throttle body before I take her to Kurgans for a “good” tune. Also gonna switch to a lund ngauge maybe for the device. My questions are: isnt it better to...

I finally started moving forward with my basic bolt on mods for the 2013 GT500. You heavily modified guys are worlds ahead, but Im pretty excited. All I have added since the Nitto drag radials are JLT big air intake and a custom tune. All I can say is wow! I have tuned and added cold air intakes...

Do you guys have an opinion on VM octanium octane booster? It definitely seems to give a little crisper throttle response. It’s expensive too. But is it safe to use? If not, what is good/safe that definitely works on a bone stock 2013 GT500? Thanks for any advise.

Hey the last couple of days that I drove my 2013, I noticed it misses a bit if you stab it to half or part throttle. If you ease into it or even stab it to WOT it doesnt miss at all. Again only if from idle or when barely on the peddle then stab it but dont go to the floor it just misses and...

Hey Guys. I have not made it a point to watch on a regular basis, but today I noticed at WOT my boost level reads from 11-13psi. When I watched it right after purchasing it (around 6 months ago) it used to read from 13-15 psi at WOT. It is very hot right now in Georgia (been in the 90’s). Not...

I am definitely going to go ahead with changing my gear ratio from the factory 3.31’s. I am almost decided on going with the 3.73’s. I really love aggressive launches. I do not care about top end speed. I dont really care about mileage either. I went with the Nitto NT555R 305/35/20’s and it...

Hey guys what are the widest tires you can fit on the factory set up with performance pack rear wheels on our 2013 without modifying anything else? Thanks.

Im thinking about installing a set of Stainless Works headers on my ride. I have a couple of questions I need advice on. How hard are they to install on the 13 GT500? I put a set of American Racing Headers on my last 2017 mustang GT, and they were pretty tough on that one! And has anybody put a...
