I'll say it for him, the TF manifolds.
So I should feel the difference with TF manifolds?
YES and make sure you upgrade the TB, MAF and you'll be set!
I've filed that combo away in my mind...for greener days.

if you're comparing cars and not drivers, the new mustang is definitely faster, stock 5.0's run mid to high 14s and stock 05-06 gt's run mid to high 13's, but i agree its like 90% driver, 10% car especially if its a stick, which is what i assume everyone is talking about.

Nice. That's a great price. I'm still trying to decide whether to take mine somewhere else and have my rear adjusted. The howl has quieted down a lot--its barely noticeable now.

Oh. Well, I took it back to them three or four times. They took me through a bunch of BS, saying well maybe it's this...or maybe it's that--you know, trying not to take responsibility for anything. I finally got them to swap the gearset, and set the pinion depth a little shallower. After that, the whine disappeared, but it still has a faint howl at certain speeds. I think the pinion nut is a bit tight. The thing is, they got so nasty with me, that I stopped trusting them with my car. I finally figured I should just cut my losses, and stop dealing with them--before they break something else. Now, I'm just driving the car. It performs great..it just howls a bit at 2k in fourth gear. I only hear it when I roll the windows up and listen for it. Sounds like someone blowing across the top of a bottle.
