BTW I am running a cat deletes with Accufab. It drones at around 2000 rpm and is a too loud when crusing to hear my bluetooth phone.

Trying to be green, cruising for gas mileage. :lol

Can downshift to 5th to have a nice music coming from the pipes. Remember I have the 3.9 gears.

My window sticker doesn't list the gear ratio. Where can I find out what my car is equipped with?

Gas mileage? My car gets SPG. Smiiiiiiles per gallon. :) I used to own a Honda RC51 v-twin liter bike. People would often ask me how many MPG I could get out of it. My answer? Hell if I know! The light comes on, I put more gas in it!

The only ratio from the factory was around 3.3 - 3.34.

A few of us got Stillens 3.9 gears installed. They are all sold out.

Is there an easy way to check if all the OBD monitors are clear? Say with and SCT tuner device?

Not with the SCT, I used this, cheap and shows all of the monitors.

I think they have better versions now using bluetooth. The OBDwiz diagnostic software shows the monitors.

I ordered the bluetooth version and the android Torque Pro app. Not bad for under $30....I'll report back how this works. Reviews on other Fords are great and the app looks very useful.

Thanks! had no idea this level of diagnostic tool had gotten so cheap.

Did you know 4th, 5th and 6th are all overdrive?

2112 you have the headers, Jack if refering to the FRPP cat delete pipes that only replace the cats and connect between the stock OEM exhaust manifolds and the muffler or X/H pipe.

Yes, The GTX thru me. Mine are 9430-GTX and the 5230 is GT

According to the DVD that came with the car - from the Nascar guy that DBK(?) posted from someone that youtubed it, "The car does 0-62 in first gear, so every gear above first gear is overdrive. You accelerate in every gear. If you get to 6th it will be your only call from jail. call me." Or something like that. I did 160 in 4th and wasn't anywhere close to 5th. I25 north of Cheyenne, WY.

Interesting. It's definitely geared different than my GT500. I typically cruise the highway at 80 in 5th in the 500. 6th drones out a bit too much with my Borla pipes.

In the GT I feel like I'm almost lugging the motor if I run 80 in 5th/6th.

Love love love this car. I want to get my exhaust and short throw on it and go have fun!
