SOLD!!! Hey guys, I can't believe I'm doing this, but I had a terrible turn of events in my life and I need to sell my car. It is a 2012 Lava Red Premium with the Brembo package. It is an M6, still with the stock clutch(still not slipping). It has about 38000 miles on it and it has great...

Hey guys, I'm getting excited to do my install over the winter and I'd like to see what others are running. I've done threads a LONG time ago but I figure more and more people have installed systems since then. I am installing my 12W7 with my 1000/1v2 this winter in a 2ft^3 box tuned to...

Bored, and figured I'd post a couple pics of my Lava Red 2012 5.0 with the Roush TVS. Not professional pics, just some I snapped with my galaxy s4 :) And a dark one I snapped tonight Mods are in my signature. Only diff is I don't run the JLT anymore...

OK, I'm so sick of all the parrots that come into all the blower comparison threads and say PD blowers are USELESS on the streets, because they're parts salesman ;-) said so.... This is 2nd gear starting a little over 3000rpm- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeLn34YJrnY&feature=youtu.be...

Hey guys, I got my first engine code... lol I know it has to do with a Evap Purge system fault. What steps should I take to diagnose where my problem is? Is there a specific resistance the solenoid should read? Any direction to start in would be helpful. Thanks

I've read a few different places that the roush CAI for the TVS setup is limited to the low 600whp range, but I would like to know why. Is it that the 110mm intake size restricts the amount of air flow, or is it the 110mm intake in conjunction with the stock MAF sensor??? ie: Can the...

Ok guys, I need some suggestions. I am having an issue all of a sudden that I'm trying to figure out. If I'm driving along at say 40-60mph and I push in the clutch, the rpms slowly fall down to under idle (500-700rpms), and then either bounce UP to idle, or drop and the car stalls. I have...

Hey guys, I see people recommending Revolution Automotive rebuilds for the mt-82, but I never seem so see a post from someone who has had it done. If you have had it done, what do you think of it? Does it shift smoother? What did it cost? Would you do it again, or save for the T-56...

Hey guys, I have decided I've pushed my luck on my stock clutch long enough. It has 33,000 miles on it and 13,000 of them are with the Roush TVS trapping over 130 on MULTIPLE track passes. I can't believe how it has held up!!! It's not slipping yet, but I don't expect it to last forever...

Hey guys, my buddy got his car dyno tuned a couple weeks ago and things didn't go as planned. He is running the whipple 2.3 on his 2011 5.0. He now has ID1000's and the rest of the fuel system is stock. He has headers and high flow cats. He had been running on a canned tune from a reputable...

Hey guys, I see that in NY state you are allowed to have one monitor still "incomplete" and you can pass inspection, but do they know how many monitors you are supposed to have to start with? Why I ask.... My buddy got dyno tuned semi-locally and the person who did the tuning guaranteed he...

Hey guys, just like that title says: What's the highest HP people have been able to run on 93oct pump gas only? Preferably with a stock spec motor (don't mind built motors included as long as it's stock C.R. and cams and no head work). I want to build my bottom end and run more boost on my...

Hey guys, just a quick question about an ebay transaction... I placed a "best offer", not bid, on an item, but I would like to just "buy it now" instead. I looked at the choices for cancelling the offer, but nothing will work for me. Any suggestions?

Hey guys, I am looking to put an AGM battery in my car for an upgraded stereo. I was hoping somebody has already gone through the pain in the butt of finding which ones fit/work the best ;-) Thanks for any help. BTW it will be about 2000wrms. A decent battery should be enough at that...

Seems like there would be some "Tax return sales" threads popping up any time now ;) Lets get them started!!! I need a clutch! Lol

Hey guys, my wife made some pretty cool looking pumpkins so I figured I'd share a couple pics with some people who may appreciate them :)

Hey guys, I forget who, but somebody posted in a thread a while ago a vid where a shop showed how easily #'s are manipulated on a dyno. They kept screwing with certain tables in the dyno software and redyno'ing and they kept making more and more power. I wanted to show my buddy the video but I...

Hey guys, I just took a 13 hour (each way) trip to Brenspeed to pick up a friends GB 5.0. I had always heard good about Brenspeed, but had never had the chance to deal with them...yet. I got the chance to take a tour through the facility, and let me tell you, this place is top notch!!! I've...

Hey guys, my buddy just sent me this pic of his rear drivers side wheel. As you can see it is def shifted towards the front of the car. I plan on checking his LCA and bushings, and looking at where the axle tube goes into the diff, but what else can I check as a possible problem? Thanks...

Hey guys, I decided to give my new NT05r's a try tonight and I have a big problem now. I got a check engine light for IAT circuit high. I cleared the code and it came right back on. I tried data logging the IAT and it read like -40 and didn't move. The other big problem that seems to have...

Hey guys, I've been reading about plasti-dip for a long time now and I finally tried to give it a whirl. I did my rear GT emblem on the trunk lid. I did it once and it looked great. I pealed the tape/paper off and let it finish drying. As it dried it started looking not fully covered. I...

Hey guys, it seems like the common issue for supercharged 5.0's rev'ing over 7000 rpms is failed oil pump gears. I have been searching for a bit for any sort of "how-to" on how to install billet gears. I'm no super-master-mechanic, but I did my own TVS install in my garage, so I know that with...

Well, made a trip to the local strip because it's a BEAUTIFUL day. Last time I went it was 93*F and humid as hell (11.94@127). It was 75* and not nearly as humid today. I am on Nitto Invo's that are down to the wear indicators, so I really didn't plan on breaking any land speed records or...

Hey guys, my buddy and I both data logged our cars today using a 4th gear pull from about 1k rpms to 7k rpms' ish. You can see the differences in the tunes! I am running a VMP tune and his was a Dez performance dyno tune. You'll notice the HUGE difference in the spark advance curve. His is...

Hey guys, I've been searching and all I've found is where Roush themselves use Motocract 5w50 full synthetic oil. I see that it's $15/qt. Is there any other oil in that price range that is known to be better suited for our 5.0 with the TVS? Thanks
