I have heard nothing but good things about Bob Ida, however, I too am suspicious of the 60hp gain claimed. I am surmising that the horsepower "gain" claimed by Bob Ida can more accurately be described as horsepower "available". For instance, turning off your A/C does not increase engine...

Take it easy for the first 500-600 miles, 1000 to be safe. Vary the RPM within that period. Eric

Nota4RE, That is what I am waiting for: A smaller, lighter weight, heat reducing muffler delete that doesn't drone at a reasonable price. The system that Beach-GT alludes to in this thread http://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2143 looks promising. Eric

Hey Beach, When will the exhaust with removable muffler inserts be ready? Sounds like it may be the best compromise between performance and eliminating highway drone. Will the pipe also be tubular and cut down on engine bay heat? Any weight savings? Eric

The United states is a wonderful country. The largest Iranian diaspora is in the US, as well as the Armenians, Italians, Germans, Polish etc. Eric

Longhorn, Easiest thing to do is just remove the air-box. Two screws and loosen the hose clamp and you are there. Eric

Fully Synthetic oils with the same American Petroleum Institute rating (e.g., SF, SG etc) are virtually fungible. I believe the highest current rating is SJ. I would go with any 5w50 synthetic oil that is readily available. I do not believe there will be any warranty issues as long the oil is...

According to Accufab from another thread: "...Independent dyno tests at Westech show a 12 ft/pound improvement in overall torque and an additional 15 HP over the OEM system. On top of that, the new Accufab X-Pipe saves 44# of weight on the extreme rear end (a 1% improvement on front to rear...

Has anyone had to replace their tires yet? If so what was the mileage you attained before a new set was required? It would be nice if you could give some context when replying, i.e., give a description of your driving habits. After all, if you're gettin' on it and performing burnouts every day...

Re: Kinetics Exhaust Accufab, I believe eShrink was alluding to the exhaust system developed and installed by a local speed shop here in the Atlanta area Call Kinetics Speed Shop. One of the local GT owners and member of this forum (Tungsten) had the Kinetics system installed and later...

I was able to buy Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 75W90 from Advance Auto Parts. Price I believe was under $9.00. Eric

$3,495 WITHOUT tips! That Accufab exhaust is looking better by the day... Eric

Is there a weight savings or performance gain with the Tubi exhaust? If so, how much? Eric

Paul (centerpunch), I remember that issue. They HAD TO rank the GT first. It so toasted the Porsche and the Ferarri, that it left them wondering out loud (in print) whether or not they should have tested the Ford GT against the Carrara GT and the Ferarri Enzo. Eric

If I can recall accurately, EVO magazine voted the GT Car of the Year for 2005. The finishing order of the voting was GT first, Ferrarl F430 2nd and the Gallardo SE 4th. Eric

ZeroVette, Sorry to hear about your repair woes. However, It appears that most of the problems are dealer inflicted and not characteristic of the cars fundamental design. Both my Viper (9 yars old) AND my GT have both been relatively trouble free. Eric

eShrink, I am surprised the youngsters preferred the looks of the Gallardo over the GT. EVERY person I have met with an opinion on the subject, and EVERY auto magazine that has tested the two together prefer the GT's styling and looks to the Gallardo. Eric

Blue paint code is LA. Eric

I agree BlackIce. The instructions that come with Ford Racing cooler directs you to remove the current fittings and replace it with the included "adapters". I believe these adapters are -6AN size based on photos of the plubming. But I could be wrong. Eric

This system looks good and at a better price point than competing systems. It was stated in a previous post that the sound is not "uncomfortably noisy". Can you (John at accufab) or any other members who have heard the system comment on whether there is any "highway drone" at sustained cruising...
