Street car but I have been going to the drag strip a lot lately. I have the Steeda IRS braces and they helped on the street. At the track last weekend, in good 65* air, the car was making some decent power and severe wheel hop reared its ugly head on the 1st to 2nd shift. 2.0 60fts are getting...
Getting a little frustrated with my GT
Ran the 1/8 mile again today.
I have forever been stick in the 8.6xx world with terrible DA and heat.
Today DA was 2475 with temps in the low 80's at Wilkesboro Dragway.
Lund tune, Steeda intake, Corsa Xtreme exhaust are my current mods under...
Trying to datalog for Jon at Lund.
Issue: "no file " when I got into diagnostics and datalogging to start a file. I have looked at the guides and videos around the net. The gauge is not giving me a file to select to begin a full datalog. I do not get the packets building message and I can not...
Thumbs up..
Bought my wheels and had a great experience. Paul is the man and really goes out of his way to take care of his customers.

A big thank you to Need4Speed for their excellent customer service and help during my purchase this past week.
I finally have a set of wheels that I am proud of...:cheers:
Don't...
Not my Mustang, but for comparison, we took my wife's 2.0L EB 2013 Taurus to Bristol last month. Air was garbage with DA in the 5700's. Ambient was 90+. Best run was a 16.265@ 82.77 with a 2.4 60ft. Car was launching with no spin. Track elevation is 1400+
Took same car last night to...
I am in a position to be able to pick up mint local set of Niche Verona 20x9/20x10 in Anthracite finish. No tires for $600.
That said, I got to thinking, I can go to Newtakeoff.com and get a full set of PP wheels and tires with TPS mounted and balanced already to go and shipped for free for...
Well, I will start out my saying it sure as hell was not the optune day/evening to run , but, I had it planned for a few weeks and we were going no matter the conditions.
By conditions I mean this 90*+ ambient air temp. A calculated DA of 5762 at Bristol Drag way in Bristol TN. Runs were...

I'll start..not in order of importance or annoyance.

Have a set of Steeda springs waiting to go on. 19-20 inch wheels are also coming soon.
So.. wait to do the springs and wheels at the same time and then align? Will larger/wider wheels factor in causing the need for another alignment?
Thanks :cheers:
Bout to load the Lund tune. I have a Steeda intake and realized the insert/restrictor is still in. Just out of curiosity, For the moment,would it hurt anything to run the car with the insert in still? I am dreading trying to remove that sob..
LOL
Thanks guys
I will be running Steeda Linear Sport springs soon. They give a one inch drop all around. I have gotten some solid advice I believe being told that while a bump steer kit is a good idea at that level, it is not "necessary" . I will have the car performance aligned after the install.
I will be...
While putting my Steeda spring in, my top (brown) pedestal got cracked. It prob could have been used but it then slipped off the mount when the pedal was depressed, and launched up into the dash somewhere.
Therefore...
Anybody have one laying around that they want to sell?
Thank you
Ran the GT today at shadyside dragway in Boiling Springs, NC. Temps were in the low 70's (not sure how to get the DA?)
Best run of the day was a 8.614 @87.88 with a 2.097 60ft on the all season P-zeros.
This was done with around a 1500 rpm ride out of the clutch of the line and shifting...
Is there a delay from cold start up until launch control can be activated?
My GT seems to need to see normal operating temps before the "LC" will appear on my display after check marking it.
Is this normal or is mine having an issue?
Thanks guys
Coolant leak from expansion tank?
Smelt coolant today while sitting in traffic, Got home and poked around and found that the level was low and the bottom of the tank had caked/dried up coolant on the bottom.
Anybody else?
Guess it's dealer time...:clap2:
Large piece of concrete got kicked up this evening and hit my lower valance. Took a chunk out of it and scraped it.
Where can I get another one besides a dealer? I looked on e-bay and no luck, all PP splitters. It seems most of the aftermarkets are set up to add to the PP belly pan...
