dont you need to go to a dealer for that, so they can recalibrate the cluster for your engine?

No. If you leave everything on the cluster it will work. Just delete PATS.

If you dont delete PATS you will have to go to the dealer.

Pics and a video. It might be off a couple mph around 80mph so it might get worse as you go higher I'm going to look into it. Had to pop off the theft light too cause it kept flashing. Seems to be shifting/running at the correct rpm's though. I love the way it looks. I want to go with a red/black/silver interior scheme. Possibly having some custom door inserts made in a week or so. The exhaust feels much smoother and the butt dyno definitely reads a difference in power. Too bad I can't make use of the boost gauge haha

Looks nice shaun, I'm glad to have a fellow v6 with a termi cluster! When you say that you think the speedo might be off, what is that in reference to? Like a speed sign or the diagnostic digital speedo you can access thru the odometer?

The speed you are travelling is calculated by the pcm and then digitally sent to the cluster. Then the cluster electronics calculate how far to move the needle and convert the digital speed signal to an analog signal from 0-18v i believe (0 being bottom extreme, 9v being middle and 18v being top extreme).
If you want to check the digital signal coming into the cluster versus the analog display of the gauge, check out this site: http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/fcar/dtcodes.htm

The theft light shuts off after a couple minutes. It flashes constantly then it will go intermitently and then itll turn off.

Ive gotten used to it.

You could also ask your local high school's auto shop (if they have one) if they have a ford "NGS Star" scan tool. Thats how I was able to use one. If you can get your hands on one, it takes about 20 minutes to reconfigure PATS, 15 of which is a antitheft safety timeout where you just sit and wait. The TSB explaining the procedure is 01-6-2, follow the instructions in the System type C column starting on page 9 for those interested...

I would in a heartbeat if I had the money Matt. Fink I just ripped it out, I don't care. The speedo thing I meant I felt like I was going slower than the cluster was reading but that might have been because of the new placement of the speed in the gauges and I'm not used to it.
