    Need a new stereo

    So, the factory Nav headunit in my '08 GT500 'Vert is getting tired. I've looked around and haven't seen too many updated threads on headunit swaps. Any modern units worth looking at? I see the Raxiom model that American Muscle has, but not sure how good it is. Thoughts/suggestions...

    Looking for new tire recommendations

    I have a 2008 GT500 'Vert with 19" CCWs and my KDW's need replacing. Being that those aren't available any longer in 19"....any recommendations on good summer/perf. tires? My current sizes are 275/35ZR19 and 295/35ZR19. I'm guessing Nitto is popular, maybe Pirelli? I'm also wondering if...

    Gauges for 2008 GT500

    I'm looking to have my cam/coil covers replaced in my 2008 GT500 with a powdercoated/polished set and while it is in the shop I was looking to have some gauges installed. I have the Shelby Gauge Pod (without holes) for the center of the dash like the SS and other models use. I know Shelby...

    Cobra Jet CAI question

    As the 123mm Cobra Jet CAI kit for the 5.4L seems to be no longer available, is there a way to 'create' the same thing by getting the 123mm MAF, filter element (both of which are still available) and retrofit the FRPP 113mm CAI tube and/or tub? If not, is there some other way to use the MAF...

    Removing center caps - HELP!

    I've dismounted my CCW's so I can get them repolished/coated. I've removed the TPMS band/sensor, valve stems, etc. What I can't seem to figure out is how to get the center caps out! Are they just pounded in, or some other means that I am not understanding? I tried tapping them out and...

    Storage - gas stabilizer

    It's that time of year again :cryying: with Fall upon us, and winter not that far away. I've already changed my oil, swapped back the stock wheels/tires, and was planning to take it up to the local station to fill it up with some 93. However, I recall last year a thread about Sta-Bil and...

    2012 vs 2013 Boss 302

    I thought this would have been brought up already, but haven't found the thread yet... Other than appearance, is there any functional changes to the 2013 Boss 302? Did the 2013 change anything like spring rates, tunes, ability to use track key, radios, whatever... I'm considering a 2012...

    2014 Boss?

    I've seen a few mention that 2013 is the last year for the Boss 302 cars... Has that been confirmed, or is that a hope/irresponsible speculation by some? Just curious as I just convinced the wife we need one to go with the 2008 GT500 'Vert so I don't want to miss the boat! :shrug:

    New brakes and yet another blkGT500nCA customer

    I was having new brakes installed (DBA 4000's, Hawk pads, Stoptech Stainless lines...) so while I was at it I had Brian (blkGT500nCA) powdercoat the rear calipers black to match the stock Brembos. I wasn't as daring as others to consider Orange or some other color...maybe next time around...

    TruFiber hoods

    For those with TruFiber hoods, what hood lifts did you use? I see on the TruFiber site they sell a set (the nodrill/close to the hinge style) but I already have the Redlines which I really like. Can I just reuse my Redline Elite setup, or do I need new cylinders/mounts for the new hood? I...

    Wheel finish suggestions...

    I'm officially done with repolishing my CCW SP500's. I've tried Shine Seal and other aluminum sealants with no luck. Everytime I wash the car the spots won't come out! :bash: I know I will need to get them fully polished again but I am looking for options for coatings that will work. I...

    JLT Oil Seperator hitting brace

    I installed my new JLT Oil Seperator and I noticed that the top of the "can" is touching/hitting the bottom side of my FRPP brace. Has anyone else run into this, and if so what is the fix? I was going to put some sort of tape/pad on the bottom side of the brace, but wanted to see if anyone...

    Removing the lower grille

    Does anyone know how to remove the lower grille from an '08? There are several tabs and none of them seem to want to let go without a lot of prying. I just don't want to damage the bumper cover (of course). Thanks for any links/help/suggestions as always!

    New supercharger belt...

    Does anyone know where I can get a longer supercharger belt? According to Metco I most likely need an inch longer belt and the Gates site doesn't easily let me figure out which model number I will need. I am planning to use a Metco Idler with my otherwise stock pullies, and since the idler...

    New tune with gears?

    I currently have the FRPP CAI and tune installed on my '08. I would like to get some 3:73's installed but I was wondering what I will have to do with the tune once installed.... Will the existing Pro-Cal that I have cover it, or will I need a new one from FRPP? I have the "older" Pro-Cal...

    Belt size and coolant question

    I've got some installs to do on my '08 this spring and I want to be sure I have everything I need before hand. First, I have the Shelby/C&L HE, Radiator, and Shelby tanks to install. I plan to do the thermostat at the same time. How much coolant will I need to refill the system to 50/50...

    50th Anniversary SS Supercharger

    So, did anyone notice that the Ford Racing 2.9L Whipple Kit on the 50th Anniversary SuperSnake has been rebadged with Shelby on it? Probably dumb question, but are those just decals? And if so, are they available anywhere? I'm planning the FRPP 2.9L kit shortly, but just curious if...

    Dumb CAI question

    I'm trying to become educated on the theory behind CAI's. "Back in the day" it was always better to let as much air as possible be available to a carb., but with modern engines it seems that the air intake is much more of a science. So, I'm trying to understand what the variables are that...

    Max power in a vert

    I'm looking into a supercharger upgrade for my 'vert, but I got to wondering....who has done this already (on a vert) and have they had any issues? So, anyone out there with a convertible that has added a lot of power, say over 800rwhp? Any issues with the body? Anything we can do about it...

    2011 Crew Cab pic

    Even though I own a GT500, I really do enjoy Raptors. A friend of mine owns a Molten Orange 2010 5.4L that I have posted pics of in the past in this forum. This past week I was able to borrow a 2011 Crew Cab for some on-campus recruiting and I decided to take some pics of it while I had it...

    Gauge options...

    So a buddy of mine has a 2007 SS with the Shelby dash mounted gauges (as do many others), and I notice the Boss 302 LS has a similar Ford Racing setup with AutoMeter gauges, and the Shelby GT350 has pillar mounted gauges (even the 'vert..). So my question is what is the general view on...
