    Misfire Codes

    Hello all, I have a 2016 GT with 24,000 miles, and I recently got a check engine light (CEL) while driving to work. I pulled the codes (P0300 and P0308), and cleard them since I didn't feel a miss. Two days later, the light was back, so I took it in for assessment. The local dealer changed...

    Fellas, I am eagerly awaiting delivery of my Mustang, and taking advantage of the wait time by researching exhaust. I could use your input on brands, and I am really interested on where you found a good deal. As for sound, I am not looking for maxium volume, and I don't like a raspy...

    Today's the Day

    This morning I pulled the trigger and ordered a 2016 GT. The cutoff for ordering a 2016 is today, and I found out that the Guard Metalic color is being discontinued for 2017. Being that California recently went back to the black and yellow license plates, like the ones on Bullitt, I chose...

    Wow and wow

    So with the wife out of town for a few days, I decided to catch up on a couple wish-list items. First, I swapped out the transmission fluid for the Royal Purple Max Gear. All I can say is wow, the difference is huge; it's soooo smooth now. The second item was the replacement of the door...

    Steeda shifter installed

    I installed my Steeda shifter and JHR bracket today. The installation was easy, with just two areas requiring a little effort. First, the removal of the bracket under the car is a little difficult due to a retainer clip. After removing both nuts, I pulled the driver’s side down and then...

    new toys

    After looking at each of the name brand shifters for a long time, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the Steeda. I had a Tri-ax on my 03 Cobra, but hated it. In fact, it was only on the car a day before I pulled it out and shot it with a 44 mag. That said, I decided to go with the Steeda...

    Exhaust installed

    I finally got around to installing my exhaust, and I am really pleased with the results. I started off with the Heart Throb 3 inch Cat-to-axel system with the H-pipe, and chose Flowmaster’s 40 series for the mufflers. I had a local muffler shop fab up the mufflers rather than buy the axel-back...

    Predator question about timing

    I have heard that we want our timing at 23 degrees as apposed to 26. My question is how do you check the timing? At idle or at a particular RPM?

    I am putting together a pulley kit, and have already purchased the PREDATOR from Rick at Amazon Racing. I was wanting to play with the Predator to see how it works, so I installed the performance tune tonight. I love the tune, the idle is a little faster and it just felt smoother under...

    HELP!!! COBRA ACTING FUNNY

    I was on my way to work this morning and downshifted to third to pass someone. The first thing I noticed was the pull wasn't as strong as usual. The exhaust sounded muffled or restricted, kinda like when you forget to turn the traction control off. The super charger whine wavers instead of the...
