    2005 or 2007 ECU?

    My 05 Mustang Gt auto tranny is toast, motor has 147k. Bought a 2007 4.6 and auto trans with 77K. Motor has Detroit Rocker cams, CAI with tune and long tube headers. Can I use the 07 ECU? Or do I need to stick with the 05 and by another SCT tuner and install a new tune ?

    How do I make 400whp in an 06 GT?

    I think you can get close to 350 RWHP NA, maybe a bit more. 350 Hp is a bunch for a 281 CI. Cams, tune, CAI, long tube headers, bigger throttle body, underdrive pulleys, aluminum drive shaft will get you there…Reducing weight won’t make hp but will make your car quicker. I have all the above...

    Strange Manual brakes from BMR

    How would you restore the car from the ground up?

    I owned an aluminum boat company for 23 years. Aluminum oxidizes quickly so it has to be painted within 24 hours. But the only failures we had (2) was a painter who never properly sanded, prepped, or painted correctly. We found a new painter and problem solved.
