    Swapping a 09-14 Mustang brake power brake booster/master cylinder into an 08 Mustang

    Since both OEM GT500 master cylinder and power brake booster are not availble anymore for 05-08 models, and the fact that 09-14 Mustangs have better braking feel and feedback, I was wondering what does it take to convert to the 09-14 master cylinder and power brake booster.I understand they...

    S197 Aftermarket Oil Pans for 11-14 Mustangs?

    Hello All,I was looking into bolstering my oiling system just as a precaution while autocrossing (I know maintaining oil pressure while tracking or autocrossing generally can be difficult) and I'm considering swapping to a Moroso Steel Baffled Road Race Pan for the 11-14 5.0's. I just was...

    FR500C Vs FR500S Which would be better for tracking?

    I have found one of each that I am considering purchasing. I am looking for info as far as thoughts on expense of running and maintaining the cars? They both have about 3500 miles on them.

    Strut Mount Bearing

    Hi All, I'm running MM Caster/Camber plates and their front track pack springs on Koni Yellows with an Eibach front anti-rollbar. Rather stiff setup. I was getting ready to install my bump steer kit and found the upper strut mount bearing blown up. Is this from a misalignment during initial...

    S197 Suspension Points

    Would anyone happen to have a point cloud of the S197 suspension points? I would like to model the S197 in susprog or lotus shark to get some data to play with but I haven't been able to find anyone who's measured out the car. I currently don't have the time nor the space to do it to mine.

    Confused on Ford springs

    I am trying to sort thru the massive amount of info on here about springs, and it has brought me to this question. We have L, KA, PA (P spring shows as discontinued). Consensus here seems to be that for a multi use Street/Autocross/4 day year track event car, P springs are a solid answer...

    Relocation brackets. Weld or not.

    Recently installed the Cortex LCAs and Relocation brackets. Seen in the instructions about optional welding them in. Says it is a must for drag racing. I autocross and estimate about 400WHP. Will it be fine the way it is or should I have a shop weld it?

    Best Resonators for Lowering Volume of 5.0 with Full Exhaust

    I have a 2013 5.0 with a very loud exhaust. Not quite straight piped loud, but quite loud at anything above 30% throttle. It sounds great at WOT, but being that it’s a daily driver, I’d like it to be quieter when I’m just trying to take off from stoplights and such. So I’m looking at quieting it...

  25. Curious about installing an automatic transmission with paddle shifters.

    I have been thinking that it is time for a new transmission in my 2013, and I am pretty much deadset on keeping it manual. Or at least I thought I was and then I got to thinking how hard it would be to swap an auto in and mount some paddle shifters in. So my question is, would it be worth or...
