Sometimes there is a fool and his money, but how did they get together in the first place ? :shrug:

Vette doesn't come with a first class shifter ?

How many miles you get on the car before the S/C ?

sounds like trap speeds has the same problem as the dyno. Not easy to make an apples to apples comparison. Burnin4 is trying to compare his VMP / Auto to Whipple / PP manual cars. How many different dynos is there? I would think they would be a popular dyno model that most people use...

what are the dyno numbers of the two kits ? And why are they subjective?

I read through this thread and forgot he is running an auto.

clutch looks like it was overheated. What did the flywheel look like ?

should be fine if they do a good job, and there is no other issues. They check the wheel bearings? It would be cool if you could get the Torsen 3.73

I forgot about the PP tires. What's the speedometer top speed with the PP ?

what's the RPMs at 160 ? isn't the speed rating of the Mustang GT 150 ? If you add margin of safety, maybe 140. I would start by investigating the tires. Blow out at that speed would be bad.

you may not need PP brakes, but they do look cool, particularly with an aftermarket wheel that has a more open 5 spoke design

my old car had this but it was easily defeated maybe they will come out with a locking cap eventually. Until then, its best to be nice to the neighbors :thumbsup:

If its not making any unpleasant noise or generating CEL it should be fine. OP should celebrate by getting MGW shifter. :thumbsup:

wear and tear ? 3.73 will run the engine extra 200 RPM or so in 6th. For the ultimate low RPM highway cruising, you would need one of the 8-10 speed automatic transmissions.

maybe an aftermarket shifter would reduce the odds of a missed shift. if you let the clutch out all the way, you should be able to calculate the RPM based on the speed. Assuming the clutch didn't slip any.

anyone get a bottle the factory fill, and a bottle of a popular aftermarket transmission oil and put those into the refrigerator (or freezer), and then compare how they pour?

if it gets cold, you should be on A/S tires, and if it gets really cold, or cold with snow / ice, you should be on winter tires. Mustang has the LSD / Torsen, so if the rear tires break traction the car can slide easier than a car or truck with open differential.

I think its just gas mileage and engine noise. Taller gear lets the engine run slightly lower RPM with less engine noise at highway speed. Not sure what the difference is. 0.5dB ? The main issue with PP is that they come with summer tires, and they don't come with a spare tire...

with both keys, I think it will use the master. You could get one of those RFID blocking pouches if you want to test MyKey with both keys in the car.
