Did you get the FRPP mufflers or just the CAI? Also, I thought the track kit was only for coupes, not verts. How is that working for you?
Hi all...
I'm looking to bump up the performance on my 07 GT convertible.
So far I have the FRPP cold air kit (FR1) and the track kit (FR2).
So...I'm thinking this for the next steps...
1) go to 4:10 rear gears
2) install Underdrive Pulleys
3) install the larger FRPP throttle body
4) maybe steeda charge plates...
I think that bumps up the snappiness...but keeps the car very reliable.
Does that sound like a good (balanced) approach?
How do these parts gain HP?:headscratch:I can't remember exactly what the Ford kits are composed of...
The gears are an excellent idea. I'd skip the pullies and the plates for now. Lower control arms, wider tires, and sway bars are all zero risk and much higher gain than those two parts combined.
Can't go wrong with more HP...Hi all...

So...I'm thinking this for the next steps...
1) go to 4:10 rear gears Good, but lose HP
2) install Underdrive Pulleys Maybe 10....
3) install the larger FRPP throttle body Not with out some F/I
4) maybe steeda charge plates... Sure, good for another 10 or so..

+1....These are my next mod(along with LT's). The way I understand it the butterflies on the stock plates fully open around 3500 RPMs, so if you have an intake and tuner, they are not at their full potential under 3500 until you get rid of the butterflies.The IMRC delete plates are actually a pretty decent mod.

I thought the main restriction was prior to 3500 before they are fully open, or are they fully open at lower RPM's and close up as the RPM's increase(can't think of why they would operate that way though)?
CMDP I'm all for the charge plates. Once past 3500rpm's the butterflies are a big restriction and screws the airflow into the intake port a lot.
They're a restriction even when fully open.I thought the main restriction was prior to 3500 before they are fully open, or are they fully open at lower RPM's and close up as the RPM's increase(can't think of why they would operate that way though)?
