That sucks. I don't think this is that kind of neighborhood, but I will look into it anyways just in case. I'm actually thinking of just taking my wife's TBSS to PT in the mornings just so I won't be "that guy with the loud car" so early in the morning, lol.

Is your wife's TBSS black by chance? I think I have seen you around. I've seen 2 black and 1 white TBSS on post.

I got my oil sending unit today and finished putting the intake back in. Took her for a test drive and definately need to get something on my headers. The idle is all funky. running anywhere between 1000-1500 rpms. if the idle was lower rpms i would almost say it sounds like a nice cam, lol. i'm hoping its just the O2 sensors though and not something else. Also, i'm not sure if its just me but the car feels slower now. i think it might just be the slow "buzz" and rattling thats going on in the inside of the car, lol, makes it seems like it's going slower than it is. I guess we'll find out on Friday.

and on a side note. my door locks are acting funny. they both unlock just fine using the door unlock switch. but they only lock when you hit the switch every so often. I found this out because i was trying to reprogram my key fob (which didn't work btw). When i cycle the ignition the drivers door locks and unlocks the but passenger door just stays locked but makes the "click" sound. I'm pretty sure the fact that my key fob won't program is because the passenger door lock isn't unlocking like its supposed to when i cycle the ignition. but i'm not sure. any input?

Well, looks like ford isn't messing around with this new 5.0 or v6 for that matter. There should defianantly be a steady supply of mustang challengers now. Weather tonight at 1 am was 65 degrees, great horsepower weather. CancerJCC, I have hptuners and will be working on my tune, along with help from zz17iroc. Your best bet is to work something out with him. I have been to a shop that is up the road and was not happy with the tune. You can't work on a previous tune and be done in under 5 minutes. Keep in mind that I paid full price too. Grease, if it feels sluggish down low, once you get the y on there, tune, and good exhaust you will be alot happier.

You ain't kidding....I've always kind of been a Ford guy and now with these new Mustangs i'm happy as hell. The only reason I opted for a camaro over a mustang was the power, lol. guess my next ride will be a Mustang...haha...maybe anyways. I'm kind of fond of the Taraus SHO myself although the price is outrageous.

And as for the exhaust that's what I'm thinking too. The Y with a muffler should help the low end out.

You hit it on the head, the lack of back pressure is hurting it right now. The falcon is going to come to the u.s. again too. The aussie's have had it forever, the fpv290 version makes 388 horsepower from what I remember. They race it against the holden in the v8 supercar series. Pretty cool seeing 4 door car coming out of turns with 1 wheel in the air. The only thing that will kill the mustang is parts cost due to the modular crap. The 03-04 terminators set the bar and ford is still playing catch up. If you can get the y with a 4" out, splurge alittle and get it. You'll have room to grow then and when the noise gets old you'll be able to go out the back with it. As for the cam selection, I would push you to use a custom grind with the EPS lobes. There is a recent post about this, guy made 430 rwhp and ran 11.2 in the 1/4.

LOL, that was when I was running the stock Y open. I was out on the prowl that day looking for a Mustang to pick on, lol.

yeah, the fast toys lid, i ordered their ram air kit too but it's on back order, should ship out next week.







so i took my car to Autozone and then the tire shop to get my DR's put on. And man is my car running like ****. Idle surge, backfires, bogging, etc. lol I'm thinking it's just the O2 sensors since i haven't gotten the Y yet and so they're open. I checked for vaccum leaks and there was no problem there. i'm pretty sure my spark plugs are good (I haven't checked them yet...waiting to see if the Y fixes it first). but yeah, it was pretty embarassing driving on Buena Vista with open headers with my engine backfiring, lol. I got the codes checked at autozone and it was only throwing the EGR and both rear O2 codes which is obvious. nothing else though so i'm hoping it's just the open headers messing with the front O2s.
