Ford Racing Springs will give a small drop and keep the ride. Tuner, Tune, Cai and Ford Racing or VMP Twin Throttle Body. JLT Passenger side Oil Separator. Hood Struts. Think I'm going to go with the Michelins for tires, lots of choices. Good Luck..
In S. Ca. Stock Tune '14, had a mis-fire, 2 plugs we're loose from the factory. Dealer re-set everything, cleared the codes, Installed New Stock Motorcraft Plugs, installed them properly at .32 Gap. Car runs fine, I use Chevron *91 "Premium". Wish we had 93 or 94 at the Pump, but the...
Ck with Lethal /PBD that they are leaving cat protection on. If yes, good to go. How about emission test passing with this kit?. May want to ask that too. Let us know. Gd luck
Congratz on the new ride en route. From what I remember you can safely get a Tune, Larger Ford Racing or VMP Twin Throttle Body, and I guess a New Cai. Also heard DO NOT get a smaller Pulley on *91. I use Chevron, no Tune runs well. AED is a very good Tuner. Enjoy the New Ride...
I agree pricing is up and availability is down, especially on 13-14 GT 500 Verts. Not really driving my '14 thinking about possibly selling it. Looked on Car Gurus, only 5 or 6 available a few days ago. Interesting times...
My Local Dealer has 2 New GT 500's in the Showroom:
A Red with Black Stripe car with a $ 25K ADM Sticker
A Silver Painted Black stripe CFTP with a $ 50K ADM Sticker.
Anticipate them sitting a long time.. Also has a New White /Blue Stripe Ford GT, not for sale..
Cber: Start calling other Dealers including out of state. Make your deal with the outer dealer, and set up a courtesy delivery to your local dealer. They will only charge you a small prep fee, no shipping costs. Many have done it. Another good option. Good luck..
Good to see you back from the Terminator days. 2021 Order Banks open very soon. Start calling Dealers for an allocation. Order it the way you want it at a decent price, or buy The special Mystichrome Vert Terminator. Good luck
With the Vin # the Ford Dealer can run a Free Oasis report. Do that before buying. Clean Car Fax looks good.
Mr. Norton gave great advice: Find out as much as possible as to the Tune / Tuner. Does the Tuner come with the vehicle? Has a JLT Intake and a dirty filter, hard to see but I think...
Good Info Steve and Jam 21. I read the post by Shawn at AED, who is a very good Tuner. 13-14 GT 500's on Cali 91* "Premium": New Tune, Twin TB, and Cai is OK. He will not Tune a car with a smaller Pulley on 91*. Says he can't recommend it. Watch your Rpm's too. Good Luck..
I asked my Svt Tech friend at the Dealer About the crank re learn. He said it must be done with a clutch change and usually when hunting misfires. He gets lots of GT 500’s that need it, usually after Ind. shops try it with SCT, or HP Tuners. Using the Ford set up takes about 10 minutes. Works...
I know he worked with the Factory Hot line, and did update the PCM, don't know if there was a TSB. I brought it back the following weekend as they had to order the TB. Has worked OK since, no issues. Thx
Had it on my late production '14. Lucky for me the last time it happened was in front of the SVT Tech at my Dealer. Took it back Data logged it and opened an issue with the Hot Line. Car was Stock. Replaced the Battery and Throttle Body under warranty, updated the software. No issues since...
So on a 13-14 Shelby with the Ford Racing Res. Delete, Airaid Dry Filter, a 91* Tune and either a Ford Racing or VMP Twin TB is the JLT or Pmas Cai needed?? Heard the New Cai is needed only when a smaller Pulley is installed?? Thanx..
Tob, great plan. Watched the Install and before and after Dyno for the Exhaust Resonator Delete on the Palm Beach Dyno GT 500 before their Tune. Anyone offer the Front Mud Flaps yet? Really helped with my '14. Good luck!!
He brought this GT 500 to S. OC Cars / Coffee a few weeks back. Talked with him, good guy, said he ran thru his first tank of gas in 81 miles, wow. I want to find the roads he used.. Press car had about 3,000 miles on it, ran great, no squeaks, rattles, no pinging on Cali 91* "Premium"...
Have you taken a look at the intercooler with the motor out? Could be coated, good time to clean it or replace it with the KB Big un? Good luck with the build
Change your Fuel Filter before the Tune. Add a Passenger Side Oil Separator if you don’t already have one. Enjoy the New Power and post the results. Good luck!!
Thank-you Guys. Was on the Chat line with Ford yesterday, made it worse, had me dump the Phone and I think I got it re-paired, very frustrating. Did try other I phones, same result with my car. When I call up Bluetooth Audio it only plays the music from my Phone, even if the Map App is the...
Thanks Mr. Norton. The weird thing is the car mutes the directions from the phone too, so that isn't an option either. Talked to a fellow '14 owner at a show a few weeks ago and he said the maps play fine from I Phone thru his speakers.
Wish mine did.. Thanx
I'm at my wits end. I have a '14 Vert with No Nav. From I Phone, Google or Apple Maps would automatically connect and play the directions thru the speakers, for about 1.5 years, and also play my music from the phone. It slowly all went away, did all the updates and went to multiple Dealers...
