    Octane Vs Boost

    What is a safe amount of boost to run on 91 Octane? My next upgrade will put me at 16-17pounds of boost. Is 17 pounds ok or am I playing with fire? My plan is to run a 91 Octane tune and fill with 93 Octane when I can find it.

    VMP Q Port Inlet Elbow

    I found a Q Port Inlet Elbow that was never installed and got a good deal so I bought it. I have a few questions. On a unported Eaton with a 2.6, CAI and a tune how much HP/TQ could I expect to pick up. Also, will the elbow require a change to my current tune. Lastly, is porting the inlet to the...

    2009 GT500 rear gear options?

    Did Ford offer a 3.55 rear gear option for 2009 GT500's? The reason I'm asking is when I was installed my UCA/LCA's I noticed the tag on my diff cover said 3.55. I was under the impression the 07 to 09 came with 3.31's from the factory. I bought my car new off the showroom floor so I know it was...

    pulley upgrade with no chip?

    I've got a friend with a 90 SC Bird. He ordered a 2.8 pulley and was told he could swap it with the stock pulley with an tuning, or chip. Does this sound right? I told him he needs a chip, he says it's not needed.

    Cold Air Intake

    I'm looking to upgrade my factory CAI with either a C&L or JLT intake along with a pulley and a tune. From what I've read they both yield about the same power increase, my question is which one is better in terms of fitment and quality? I'm kind of leaning toward the C&L kit because I like the...

    3.73's or stage 2

    I've got a 2009 gt500 that is stock except for axle back sgt's. I see stage 2 kits for about 1100.00 that include a 2.6 pulley, CIA and a tune. I was wondering if 3.73's and UCA and LCA's would be a better bang for the buck. What do you think?

    Can anyone give me feedback on the effects polishing a blower would have on the blowers ability to dissapate heat. Would it have any effect? I've heard the removing the coating actually hurts the ability to dissapate heat. I've heard the same thing about polishing radiators. It doesn't make...
