One thing; is it absolutely essential that I upgrade differentials instead of running stock v6 rear end? I've heard running that much power on a stock v6 rear end will, more or less, ruin it.
All these new mustangs are automatic =/ I will never go back to an auto, there just isn't as much fun in it. It's completely personal preference though.
yes the 2010 models are automatic and also looks like ''shit''
when im finished with saving money i'll buy mustang GT 2005 model v6 or maybe v8 i dont know.. cuz from the new models the 2005 model in my opinion the BEST.
I don't see much reason to yet. I'm laying down the numbers I should be laying down at the dyno with the 7.5 axle and 3.73's. Maybe in the future I'll buy a GT take off 8.8.
@ancapaaron yeah that stock diff is good for a clean 400 or so rwhp, which is well within the limits with the x-charger you have on it, great sound btw!
Can you make a video of the dash showing the acceleration in MPH? I'd love to get my 4.0 Supercharged eventually... If you have time make that video and PM me! :D Thanks a lot
thats awsome man, these X- chagers have a great whine to them and really improove peformance, and jw i dont want thsi tos ound like a stupid question but is you car auto or manual?
This car is an auto. IMHO its a better deal to get the auto 5R55S than the manual Tremec in the v6. Not only is the 5R55S the same transmission they put in V8 Mustangs, its a rugged little transmission than can handle a lot of what is thrown at it. The manual transmissions differ from V6 to V8...and the V8 Mustang has a far better manual in it than the V6
yea i think the GT uses the TR3060 from tremec, V6 has the T5 i heard mixed reviews about fords 5R55S my dad had a simal model in his explorer that had to be revuilt, w/e tho nice car man
There is a couple modifications out there for it to beef it up. Level 10 sells gears and bands for it. I'm a little bit reluctant to tear an automatic transmission apart though. Working on an auto looks more difficult than my backdoor garage level of expertise . Last time I saw one of them torn down it seemed like there was enough parts spread out on the ground to cover a city block.
So far the stock transmission handles the increased horsepower and torque.
is that the auto or the manual? ancapaaron is right on the money with the T5 being weaker but I'm not sure what the strength difference is between the two

Its an upgrade that I wouldn't go without, unless a one wheel peel is attractive to you.

Maybe changing up the rear end to a 8.8" would help. How are the 3.73's working out?
