    S197 2011 Mustang 3.7 Performance Package, Shooting my shot at CAM-C

    Great update brother. I highly recommend the ported intake. Here’s the trick: port the upper and lowers to match (the real gains are in the lowers). then get the GT throttle body machined to bolt into the intake, you’ll need a new coupler for your CAI to match to the throttle body. I have an...

    Weight Reduction That Doesn't Ruin Your life/Safety, Thoughts?

    This is why I went with a double disc setup. I really enjoy driving with the McLeod clutch. It’s also lighter and smaller diameter than stock

    Weight Reduction That Doesn't Ruin Your life/Safety, Thoughts?

    The BMR poly mounts barely add any vibration and they weigh a lot less than the ford performance mounts. I really only feel more vibration at idle.

    Weight Reduction That Doesn't Ruin Your life/Safety, Thoughts?

    LW flywheel and clutch. Saved 21 lbs by losing the v6 dual mass flywheel and clutch combo. recaros are much lighter than the stock pony seats

    S197 Snoop the Sleeper 3.7

    So the McLeod clutch and 2017 s550 trans is in. I just had to swap the tail shaft so it would bolt up to the s197 driveshaft. The s550 gears are a bit shorter than my years so it’s a nice little boost in speed. Car officially hit 146k during the clutch break in. That puts the new engine at 50k...

    S197 Snoop the Sleeper 3.7

    RAM HDX clutch died this week with 26,000 miles on it. It died almost exactly 2 years after install. Since my 2nd gear is pretty much useless, I’ve decided to replace the trans.-I have a 2017 MT-82 with 28k on the way and a new MCLEOD RST with lightened flywheel sitting in my garage.Now i’m...

    S197 Snoop the Sleeper 3.7

    I happened to score a full Recaro interior off a local guy. He gave me a great deal. I had to replace the airbag and reupholster the drivers seat because it was blown. The good thing is my OEM premium leather seat airbag was a direct fit in the Recaro. My first impression is amazement. I feel so...

    The demise of my Mustang

    Something I haven’t seen mentioned: a part out to fund the next build. Sometimes a fresh start is more exciting than a repair. Have you at least TRIED to call the insurance? Delete the YouTube video first lol

    The demise of my Mustang

    Man i’m so sorry to see this. How are you holding up? Remember that you have time to make a decision, don’t rush into trying to fix it. Take your time to consider options logically. I hope you don’t have any Injuries.

    S197 Seat airbags from standards seats fit Recaro?

    I am having the full seat re-done because skins are discontinued. I received quotes ranging from 450-650. I’m going with the higher end of the range for full leather. My seats came out of a track pack GT with the recaros. The 15-22 seats look pretty similar, but the mounting holes are in a...

    S197 Seat airbags from standards seats fit Recaro?

    Updating for someone who may need this in the future: the s197 stock airbags DO fit onto the s197 recaros. I was able to remove the airbag from my 2012 stock leather seats and put it into my new recaros. The part numbers are different due to the mounting bracket revision. However, the recaros...

    S197 Seat airbags from standards seats fit Recaro?

    I picked up the recaros today. The plug looks the same. I’m hoping the bag fits.
