Oh really? You looked behind the glove compartment door and traced every wire you found back to its source?

Thanks for clearing that up man!

the way i see it there are only 3 serious mods you have to make to the 05 mustang
1. exhaust the stock exhaust is garbage this is a must
2. intake the stock airbox is trash i personally reccoment mmr but thats just me
3. wheels i have never been a big fan of the wheels on the 05 but again thats just me

all other mods are for fun but these are a must

all my 05 guys holla back on this one

everything else on the car is fantastic especially the shaker 500 if you got it
Just a couple more from my experience....

rods
pistons
crank
drivetrain
CMCP's
Clutch
entire fuel system
Posi

The rear end, block, trans, and frame are pretty descent on these cars IMO.

My question to Scrming is if that graph with the stock airbox was done witha stock air filter or a K&N type? If it's the stock airfilter I guess I don't need to mod any of the intake unless I change rear gears! Are those also with stock tune?

That's strange - it shouldn't do that. Go back and click on the button on the bottom of the page that says , 'sound' and it will go off - sorry...

Unrelated TNT, but could you tell me how you did the gt350 on the back? Very curious and you're car looks awesome BTW...

Come on, I hope you're kidding.... Apples and oranges - you know that. These aluminum blocks are descent for what they are and love to rev. Sure, even a tescid block is stronger but I have been working with these blocks for awhile and they aren't THAT bad - and you gott a love the fact you can pick them up with one hand...

Decal for center emblem is DS-826 3" Cobra decal. http://www.trophymustang.com/cobra-d...05a3ec3399d825 It's an exact fit until I figure out how to bubble the front per original. The '66 GT-350 emblem is from Scott Drake. http://www.trophymustang.com/196566-...05a3ec3399d825 . I made a template and put it where I wanted the emblem. Then I drilled the holes in the trunk lid. and put the fasteners on the backside. I also used clear door moulding glue behind the emblem to keep it from rusting behind it.
Thanks for the compliment!
