Thanks...... yes indeed it is the Raptor shiftlight.

In my opinion, you need all three guages- boost, fuel pressure, and AF. Some will argue that you don't need FP if you have AF which, to some degree, is true.... however I think all three is mandatory.

If I had it to do over again, I would have just bought the 2 Aeroforce guages (the ones I mounted in my dash) because they each display 2 parameters (2 gauges = 4 parameters total) and with the right add-ons they'll do AF & Boost as well as all of the other capabilities that they offer. They plug right into the OBD port, so you get battery voltage, water temp, oil temp, ignition timing, mass air meter counts, throttle %, blah blah blah..... really cool units.

I myself like all the guages I can get, mechanical ones. Not super riced out, but so that I know as much as I can. I like the CDC center stack guage pod, but I wouldnt be too crazy about cutting into the dash. I wanna go with the cobalt guages, and make the green to blue LED swap, so I can have the blue theme continued.

You can always take the supercharger off Bill...

What diameter are the center A/C vents?

Luis, day is almost done.. where's the new tint pics?

Superfly SN95

Here it is...forgive the 1st picture...my fat finger is partially in the pic

TacoBill

Looks great Luis!

Will match perfectly with your upcoming blackout panel.


Speaking of dark.. did you have a black 05 or 06 V6 stang with some bling wheels before getting the CS?

JonCo

Looks good Luis.

Yeah I'm still unsure ill do gauges immediately. Cut initial cost. But when I do get then I deff want the three. Fuel pressure boost(do I need one which displays vacum?) and af gauge

LEO_06GT

Looking good Luis.


I just scored a Escort Solo S2 radar detector of craigslist for $150. Should have it by then end of the week assuming it's not a scam. Once I get it and see that it actually works I'll be buying a nifty mount like Bill's.

Superfly SN95

Lol. I did many moons ago. That's where mustang fever started for me. Had to get the v8

Leo - great find better post pics when you get it.

Thanks for the compliments guys

TacoBill

From what I understand, can't hurt. Any postive boost will show on the gauge just as well as a boost only gauge.

Tom1 did the research on this a while back and I'm pretty sure he went with a vacuum/boost gauge.



Awesome! I think I got mine for around $220 or so (used) off ebay.

For anyone wondering what mount Leo's referring to, it's the billet mount from Chotis Engineering.




I drove by it every Tuesday! Chris and I used to look for it on the way to Judo. We'll be cruzin' by your street tonight!

JonCo

Yeah I figured I'd go with the boost/vacum gauge.

I love that radar mount. Have one myself and its worth every penny

Superfly SN95

Let me know what he thinks of the tint.

JonCo

What gauges are these? What color do they light at night?

TacoBill

Dunno.. 'copy & pasted' from the SOS website. Auto Meter has like 20 different gauges, good luck!

TacoBill

I will. Maybe we'll take a pic of the flyby!

Bill or Leo, what model year does the K&N CAI that I have fit? Is it just 05-06 and 07 needs a different bracket? Someones interested in it but they have an 07. Where would they look to get the alternate bracket if they needed it.

LEO_06GT

Why wouldn't it fit the 07?
I checked on the K&N website and tried entering 05 stang then 07. Both gave me the same part number. So don't see how there'd be a problem.

Bill can you post or email me the link for the website that sells the rear view brackets?

tom281

Just FYI, those are Autometer Nexus gauges.

Uh, can you say expensive???? But, if you buy the add-on, you can change their illumination color.

tom281

I'm getting closer boys........

I thought Ford redesigned the cam covers for 07+? I remember reading this on Bills How-To...

I guess I'll have to call K&N tomorrow to find out.


Yeah... expensive but sure do look sweet. Oh well. If I bought the cobalt can the backlighting be changed from blue to green? My car isn't as fancy as your all's car with this change-o-color-o-matic. haha

Very cool indeed. I like how I currently have a faster car then you. Heck the Kia Rio(no offense) I saw this afternoon is faster then Tom... For the time being that is. I mean you have 0rwhp. ahhh sweet victory. haha

When do you get your car back?
