Thanks for the savings tip. I currently have the FRPP shifter. It's a step above the stock shifter but the 1 to 2 transition has always been tight. I may purchase the MGW gen2 so I can have it installed when I need to replace my clutch.
Which handle length do folks prefer, standard or extended?

Here's my oil analysis report on a virgin sample of Mobile 1 5W50 motor oil that I sent to Blackstone for testing. The oil meets API SM, ACEA A3/B3 and A3/B4 and it looks to have an excellent additive package with a good amount of ZDDP, Boron and Moly for anti-wear plus a good dose of...
Ford's normal maintenance schedule says you should replace the cabin filter every 15,000 miles or as required for special operating conditions (dusty conditions, off-road, commercial use, etc). Here's how I changed the cabin filter on my 2007 GT500.

Here's a easy mod for those of you who might be considering a locking gas cap. I installed a Motorcraft locking gas cap on my 2007 GT500 that looks just like the stock cap. I just keep the key in the console rather than on my key chain; I keep the other key at home in a safe place.
The cap...

Here's a quick introduction to the Procal II programmer. The Procal II is not as sophisticated or as capable as the SCTs and the Diablos, but it's much nicer than the previous generation Procal. This one allows you to adjust for tire size, differential gear ratio and offers a 2-step octane...

This is how I Installed Ford Racing Rear Lowering Springs (PN M-5300-L) on my 2007 GT500. As you all know, the rear end of the of the GT500 sits way too high giving it that 4 x 4 appearance; you can put your fist in between the tire and the top of the wheel well. I just lowered the rear end...
