I'm also considering an E85 tune for my GT350 and it is confusing. The way I understand it is there are two E85 tuning options, Flex-Fuel and E85. The Flex-Fuel tune enables you to run any combination of E85 and gasoline because the ECU recalculates the ethanol content after the tank is filled...
The 5.0 swap will cost more than just buying a 5.0 Mustang, so that out. Then it comes down to what you want. If you looking for something fast, buy the 5.0 and modify it. If your looking for an amazing road car buy the 350.
Just throwing this out there for everyone's SA. My 2017 GT350 with 20k miles and factory alignment was wearing the inside edge of my front tires down to the cords. Took it in for an alignment was toed OUT .10 degrees where it should be toed IN .06 to .10 degrees. Camber was right in specs at 1.6...
This. Avoid Interstates. With a road trip it's all about the drive not the destination. Take the opportunity to take the two lane and stop at as many places as you can. We found the musical highway in New Mexico (lame), Cadillac Ranch in Texas, and a bunch of other stuff along the way. We even...
In 2019 we did a trip from South Carolina through Tail of the Dragon to St Louis, west across Kansas to Colorado and up Pikes Peak, north to Bonneville Salt Flats Utah, south to Rachel NV and on to Las Vegas, south to Sedona through Oak Creek Canyon, then east to Grand Canyon, before doing a...
Buy it and make the dealer take a bath on it. Probably sat on the lot with a ridiculous ADM for two years now the dealer is stuck trying to unload a two year old car. See how much below MSRP you can get it then let us know how much the dealer lost. Payback for all of the ridiculous ADMs out there.
Coming from a solid axle car I can say the IRS leaves a lot to be desired for straight line acceleration. The first and only time I launched it at the strip the wheel hop was so bad I had to get out of the throttle for fear something would break. I installed BMR's cradle lockout kit and it...
When I change the filter. I put the filter in the canister, fill it with fresh oil, then install. This prevents that split second of oil loss filing the filter on first startup.
Maybe someone already pointed this out already, but typically when you paint a car the color coat is applied and allowed to flash, but not completely dry, then the clear is applied over the color. Not sure how the process of transporting the car somewhere else for painted stripes, then back to...

The silver one without the track pack is also missing the winglets on the outside of the front wheels. Overall I think the GT500 is a huge leap forward for the Mustang because of the DCT. The DCT isn't an automatic. I know some have said they want a six speed, but I also suspect people would be...
I took my 2017 GT350 in to get the bumper gap fixed. Found out some interesting facts and curious about everyone else's experience. First the dealer said the TSB fix required drilling a new hole in each side of the body and drilling new hole in the bumper cover. The dealer was concerned drilling...
That's a great point about keeping the static compression ratio up even on FI engines. I hear so many builders talk about low compression for FI, but that makes the engine a dog on the street. I think there is a dynamic compression limit which would basically be static compression plus boost...
For the record my Bullitt is an old 2001 that I built the engine in and I also tune it. It has 10.5:1 compression and makes 572 at the wheels with a Vortech SC. Before I built the engine, it ran imany years with a stock block with making 517 at the wheels. The keys are tune, progressive boost...
