TUNE AND SPRINGS

NEED SOME INPUT ON LOWERING AND TUNE. I ALREADY KNOW WHAT TONY HAS,AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE OTHER OPTOINS.I HAVE 275/40/18 ON8.5 WHEELS. MOTOR IS STOCK WITH AXEL BACK (PYPES),5 SPEED AUTOMATIC. THANKS!

Most of us are running the Eibach Pro Kit which lowers the car 1.3'' and 1.4''.

Davids running the Steeda springs and i believe they are 1'' all the way around.

In my opinion the Eibach Pro Kit is the best all around kit...lowers the car just enough to cover the fenderwell gap and work great with the adjustable Tocico D-Spec shocks.


As for the Tune Its split....some are running Bamachips tunes and others Brenspeed tunes "mail order". Both have pretty aggressive tunes and wake the car up. Just make sure you order your tuner and tunes from either Bama or Brenspeed... if you just order from a mustang web site then your probably getting "Canned" SCT tunes.

Now if your looking for a true custom tune Kurtis at Archangel Motorsports here in Tulsa will Dynotune your ride. Hes running a 100% load Dynapack dyno and sells the SCT XCAL tuner with his custom tunes specific for your ride.... He can produce some nice HP numbers AND keep it safe.

Some of the mail order tunes have been known to be a little lean on occasion.

Let us know if you have any more Q's ....we all are always up for helping out a fellow member

i run the eibach springs as do several others on here. tony has another brand of springs, i think steeda maybe they dont lower quit as much. for the tune i would buy the sct xcal with the tunes of your choice from brenspeed or bamachips. they are both good dealers and have good customer service.

kurtis has a dyno and uses the xcal for his tunes as well.(archangel motorsports) he is here in town.

we can have a tech day and whip them out in no time. my cam covers should be ready this week, so we can do those to.

Wow! I didn't realize they were so cheap. I'm going to have to do that very soon.

Yep... we installed many sets. We got it down to a science. 45mins to 1 hour.

Tire rack also has the eibachs for $225.

chris, when you buy the tuner, buy the package with the air intake with it. a tune and air intake will make a huge difference in your car. the JLT and C&L racer are the 2 favorites with the club members

Contact Kurtis At Archangle Motorsport. He sells packages (CAI and Tuners) and even dyno tune it for you. Top Notch! 437-7729 Tell him you're with the club.

Brenspeed rules!!! hehe

EIBACH KIT ON THE WAY.MY WIFE WILL PROBABLY KILL ME ONLY 900 MILES ON THE CAR.

I installed new rims and spring with 10 miles on mine. Drove it home and it went up on jacks. I had parts all over. My wife said she never seen a new car that needed so much work... ;)

I had the springs and wheels 3 months before I had the car...

Paul I bet We can change the springs in 30 minutes. 45 tops. Chris I agree on the CAI kit along with a X-cal SCT tuner. As far as where I run the Brenspeed tunes. I like them because if I buy anything else that requires tune rework it's free as long as I buy the part from them. They have very competitive pricing. I am planning to have a tune by Kurtis at Archangel soon. He is top notch. Check out www.brenspeed.com

O.k. boys.Greg says those pulleys came from steeda in that box.I called steeda and they showed were he had ordered them.I gave them the pulley measurements and the numbers on the parts.They said they are not steeda pulleys.There's are 5 1/2'' on the crank not 5''.Called granatelli (they look just like there's)on the web site.He said they haven't made that type for several years,and the part numbers i gave him off the parts weren't in his book.I think steeda uses different venders and they may have put in the wrong set.Not knowing is killing me.If i don't here from granatelli soon i am going to drive it and hope it all works out.

Interesting. That would bug me to no end. Can you post up the Part numbers so I can do a little research Tony?

I bet Kurtis would do the same. I'd call him too. Plus he's local.

Greg... on you on here? Sup?

Hey Chris...as others have stated...dont worry about doing the springs yourself...or paying to have them done.... we as a club have "tech days" which give us an excuse to drink beer and work on our cars haha...... Just let us know when they come in...we will knock out your springs and Docs Valve covers in record time!

As for the tuner I would get either the JLTII CAI and XCAL or the C&L Racer with the XCAL from either www.bamachips.com or www.brenspeed.com Also remember Kurtis at Archangel has tuners and CAI kits. Just let us know when your ready...we'll help you get your car up to snub

HAS ANYBOBY USED THE AIR RAID COLD AIR ? I HAVE ACCESS TO ONE AND NOTICED BRENSPEED OFFERS A SCT TUNE FOR IT.

Nope... JLTII here. Tested out the best.

Call Kurtis. Tell him you're with the club. He'll do ya right.

Havent really heard much about the Air Raid....most of the mustang community have been having great gains with the JLTII and C&L Racer intake.

Its up to you...if you can get the AIR RAID at a great price..then it might be worth it....I went the safer route ...used a CAI that has proven results...who knows you might get great results with the Air Raid...I just dont know much about it.

A FREIND OF MINE HAS A NEW ONE THAT I CAN GET,BUT I WANT WHATS BEST FOR MY CAR. THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR HELP I WILL CALL KURTIS TOMORROW.

Make sure you let him know your with the Bold Moves Mustang club... he'll treat you right.

Keep us updated...Id like to know what you decide

Found a couple of pics of the air raid...

That looks a lot smaller and more bendy than the JLT

FOR SOME REASON THAT PIC DID NOT SHOW UP. IT MIGHT BE MY COMPUTOR. I AM ON A SLOW WIRELESS CARD SINCE KNOWBODY THINKS WE NEED DSL IN THIS AREA.

Thus far I believe the Racer has proven to be the "fastest". LOL I would try to figure out if 1. do you plan to race your car 2. do you plan to show your car 3. do you plan to do both 4. do you plan on supercharging or adding nitrous later. These questions may help you to pick the "right" combo for your application. Again I am a bit bias to the C&L Racer because thats what I have and it works great for me. The JLT is a good buy and looks nice as well. You really can't go wrong with either. The only thing I would look into with the AIRAID is the diameter of the mass air housing. Looks to be moulded into the tube in the picture. The JLT and the C&L are seperate from the tube the C&L is the largest I believe by a few mm.
