I like in the first article you posted he explains the spiking in the power curve caused by the electronic torque converter. My baseline numbers were similar, 193hp peak but I was told the average was closer to 180hp. Adding a CAI and dual exhaust and a "messed up" tune added about 12rwhp (the...

Absolutely, combined with a 93 octane tune it will really wake the car up. Ford tuned the V6s very conservatively.

The ford racing CAI isn't fender mounted, it's going to be in the same spot as your factory airbox. Hydrolock is more of a concern on intakes that are low by the wheel. Also consider that the filter is covered in oil, it should repel water, it's just when its fully submerged that it becomes a...

Definitely going to look into sta-bil, fill the tank up, if it's dry I'll take it out to loosen up some of the rust. Battery tender.. if I start it up to move it every once and a while won't that keep the charge up? it's a new battery. AmericanMuscle has a car cover specifically for the 05-09...

I'll take it out as long as my street isn't a powdery white salt lick. They go salt crazy in Tonawanda. I'm might leave the battery in, I don't really have anywhere to put it. the idea is to get it out of the cold right?

Cool thanks! any good car covers that won't blow away or is there a trick to weigh them down? What about the rotors getting that nasty rust? should I just move it back and forth a bit to get the brakes to clean them?

I've driven it the past two winters and fortunately the underside looks good, but I'm not going to take it out this time. Anything I should do to prepare it? It's going to sit in my drive way.

I am selling a set of four American Racing Chrome 16" Santa Cruz rims. I have had the wheels for two years, no winters, they are in near perfect condition. I am selling them with four BFGoodrich Traction T/As tires however, they don't have much tread left. The bolt pattern is 5x114.3 I'm only...

T-lok shouldn't matter, most v6 drivers add it when swapping gears because it's a convenient time to get rid of the "one wheel peel" of the open differential. I think 31 splines is for the 8.8 GT rear end, you'd have to swap the whole rear end. The 8.8 can handle more abuse and there are more...

You got a cold air intake? that without a tune can do it. You're pulling in more air and not enough fuel.

was your buddies car a stock 3.8 or 4.0?

WHAT?!?! seriously. I wish I knew that before hand lol

Cool, Thanks!

I want these headers http://www.americanmuscle.com/pypes-2005-v6-header.html Will I have any issues passing inspection with these?

rp ring and pinion makes sense. I had called them before, not super helpful but had given me a number to their tech guy who never called me back. I think I'm just going to live with it. In the future I may upgrade to an 8.8 rear end but not until my warranty is up

Yea, no problems and you could opt for the 2 step launch controller

I wouldn't say that. it's just an uneven, inconsistent feel. I think because its a race tune they didn't spend much time working out the shift points for mild throttle, so it kinda shifts whenever. That and it's probably a longevity thing.

It could be AM covering their asses also it may be more dramatic in a gt. The most noticeable negative thing is the quirkiness of the automatic when driving slow. that combined with a much more sensitive throttle response makes it uncomfortable for slow driving. "Race (91 - 93 octane) - The...
