RE: Basic Mods for your 05/06 GT
If you have the C&L intake with tune and need to go into dealer for warrenty, How can you flash the car back to stock so the dealer doesnt see the tune if a tune is required for that intake to work. because of the MAF i figured that since u need a tune with that intake u could not do such a thing. can you with out the car running liek **** or do u have to switch back 2 stock airbox. i kno with my jetta i would flash it back to stock everytime i take it to the dealer but i didnt change the MAF.

Hi All,
New to this, but just ordered the procharger supercharger - 1FP202-SCi STAGE ll _tuner_ kit with: 800 HP
intercooler, D1 Compressor, NO PCM tuning. I have added the fuel pump, fuel pump controller, and injectors to
the kit.
Any thoughts/Advice on this badboy?

RE: Basic Mods for your 05/06 GT
I just fabracated a cool CAI shield for my 2006 GT vert. Check m out at
http://www.focuser.com/mustang.html
A little custom machine work and anodizing makes the GT look neat.
Installed FlowMaster exhaust, BBK CAI, Predator II, 62mm TB.
Made a huge difference, but now I want more, Gears next? Pulley kit?
BTW- I had to take apart the new BBK TB and modify it due to the butterfies sticking once the aluminum housing got hot. The diameter of the brass butterfies was too large and there was not enough clearence at close to shut positions. As soon as the new TB got hot it would stick when the car was at idle and cause major problems- engine light, wrench light and the car would go into a force idle condition---- had to turn off the engine and restart just to clear the computer and drive the car home.
The fix was to remove the brass butterfies and grind/ polish about .001" off the diameter then reinstall correctly in the dead center of the TB.
Works correctly now, any body else have this problem.

RE: Basic Mods for your 05/06 GT
JUST as I was finally starting to lean towards getting a CAI & tune- I read this, and am now "back to square one"............
Glad I saw this posting though, cause I agree with EVERY single one of Legendlime's points!
Possibly the ONLY thing I don't like "giving up" by not modding however, is elimination of throttle-lag.
Does anybody know of another way to do this while still remaining "stock"?
ANYBODY...?!?

HMMM...
After reading all the Mods posts, I'm seriously considering keeping my '06 GT dead stock, I'm talking not even opening the airbox!!
Here are my reasons to keep it stock:
1. There is always someone faster than you. I would hate to get into a HP war with myself, every other modded mustang, and my wallet!
2. The car is really great without any changes!
3. I won't be a target for some disgruntled Ford service manager, bent on erasing GT warrantys, because he's sick of his technicians complaining about having to remove someone's CAI to get to a headlight bulb.
4. The best reason of all: When I suck the lights out of some import, I can truly say that my car is bone stock!!

I have aslo done the aluminum rear windo louvers (from MRT) and the side window louvers. Had the side louvers painted but kept the satin black on the rear. The hinged rear window louvers are easy to install and the hinged design makes them easy to handle when detailing.

The only other thing that I have done is the Ford Racing performance Axle Back Exhaust and some showlenses http://www.showlenses.com/(kind of cool!) in Blue and Amber. They have a $19 minimum purchase and they run $5 for a set.
