"If you want to accelerate faster, you're better off making more power, weight reduction, tire/suspension and driver mod."
Weight reduction can be tricky if you want to keep your seats in your car. I guess you can remove the can of fix-a-flat also. What else can you remove?
Replacing your...
Shifter is a new design for 2015 from what I heard. To those who are Ford employees/fanatics and believe nothing can ever go wrong with their new car, just wait until something breaks on your car and see how you feel about it. I can't wait until you post something so I can blame you for the...
Break in period is 500 miles and I past that last week. You don't buy a GT PP car just because it looks nice, you buy it for the performance. If Ford has some quality issue with the stock shifter or some quality issue when they publish numbers like 435 HP at the flywheel (since there are...
Found the Procharger for $5329 as you said here: http://treperformance.com/i-20145523-ford-mustang-gt-2015-procharger-5-0l-ho-intercooled-p1sc1.html
For the Procharger, they make it sound so easy to install. They quote a '5-hour job', so I wonder if that included the fuel-injector installation...
I noticed the turbochargers have the option to manually increase/decrease boost pressure:

Can I use a similar boost pressure regulator (like this one below) with any of the superchargers listed...
Do you know if Ford installs an aftermarket shifter approved by Ford racing, does it still get a warranty? I found this short-throw Ford racing shifter for $450 including shipping (did not see a 2015 model yet):

While trying to get close to the advertised 4.4 second 0-60 speed (main reason I bought this car other than the new style/features), I didn't really 'wait' a second or so to feel like I am in neutral when going from 2nd to 3rd. After a bit of research as I looked at people posting their...
Yea, not sure how I abused the stick shifter by trying to shift fast enough to get the published 0-60 times. If this was a luxury brand (with all of the options on the car, it does kind of feel luxury) and you just paid $40K + for your new car and something broke on it in the first two weeks, I...
I agree that the prices should be either much lower or they should give you a full warranty on your engine/drive-train for the $7000 they charge. I've been looking at supercharger kit pricing for a while and recall about 8 years ago when $3500 - $4000 was the going rate (without intercooler)...
I've had my new 2015 GT Premium with PP for about two weeks now. I am always looking for the most performance at the lowest cost. I think it is way too early to void my warranty with a supercharger, but I like to play with options. So what are the best supercharger options for price versus...
The first time I called, after being transferred to a service advisor and waiting 4 minutes, somebody just picked up the phone and put it back down so they didn't have to take the call. The second time I called, I had to leave a voice message with "Kyle". In my 3rd call, I verified the service...
I was doing some quick shifting trying to get to 60 MPH so my track-apps would give me the best 0-60 time. I noticed reports of a 4.4 to 4.5 second 0-60, so I just had to try to accomplish it. Since I had to hit 3rd to get to 60 MPH with my 3.73 gears (to get track-apps to return a time)...
I do not have a breakout diagram of the 2015 GT 6-speed shifter, but if I did, I would guess that something is bent/stripped and the locking screws/pins no longer hold the assembly. Since I make at least 3 shifts every time I have to stop at a red light or stop sign, I estimate I need to make...
I just repeated the calculation that was posted earlier to show the RPM versus MPH in each gear with 3.73 rear end. I found a discrepancy between the front tire size max MPH in 2nd gear and the rear tire size max MPH in 2nd gear.
It looks like if the track-apps is based on the front tire...
The first sign of an issue is when I can go into reverse without pulling up on the part marked below as (1). The next sign of the issue is when 3rd gear is slightly difficult to get into. Finally, the stick just falls off and the car gets stuck in whatever gear I was last in.
When trying to shift to get the best 0-60 times, I noticed three issues on my manual 5.0 GT with PP:
1. Need to be in 3rd to get the built-in track-apps 0-60 acceleration timer to return a time. Going to 3rd gear quickly is a hassle as sometimes 3rd is easy to miss and you end up red-lining in...
I retried the 0-60 with launch control enabled at 3000 RPM, 3500 RPM, 4000 RPM, and 4500 RPM. 0-60 didn't seem to make much of a difference at any RPM (tried at least 3 attempts per RPM), but 3000 may have been slightly better since it had the least tire slip.
3000 RPM: 5.3 seconds
3500 RPM...
Just had a best time of 5.4 sec without launch control enabled. Also, I have to agree that just as I approach 60 MPH, I redline and need to upshift into 3rd. I find myself hitting 3rd to make the 60 MPH acceleration timer in my track-apps work. I found something else kind of strange, but not...
I'm still waiting for 500 miles on the odometer to run the 0-60 MPH and 0-100 MPH built-in acceleration timer application on my GT Premium with PP and manual. I should be there in the next day or so. So shortly after 500 miles (break-in period), I will sit on my street and do 0-60 MPH several...
