So who here is going to modify their 2013 GT500? This topic of discussion has also been brought up on the Camaro5 website. A lot of them said they won't but that was said before the 2013 GT500 specs were released. That is probably going to change for sure.

Just want to see who here will be bitten by the 2013 GT500 mod bug.

Take the 2.9L off of your current car and put it on the 2013. Stock blowers are easy enough to come by, if you didn't keep your OE/stock one (Shelby has take-off Eaton's for $399).

There, no drop in HP now.

Wasn't sure if it'd fit the 5.8L. If so, you're right - no problem! :rockon:

It should unless the changed the base of the OEM 2.3L TVS.

As of now, all three are interchangable onto the same intake. Stock Eaton, 2.3L TVS, Whipple 2.9L, 3.4L & 4.0L.

All you'd need is a tune.
(EDIT: And I assume FRPP will be coming out with one in the not too distant future but if not, the Aftermarket will).

No doubt if you want traction from a dig you'll need to upgrade the wheels, tires & suspension. I don't believe the LC is going to help as much as people are acting like, I bet it's more like the Boss's and will hold the launch rpm for you. Not many (if any) mfg's make a LC that helps 1/4 mile times drastically like people think this one will. If you don't have auto trans, awd or near perfect balance for weight transfer you can bet it will still come down driver mod for traction through 2nd gear.

OK guys- here's yet another newbie question that has prob been answered before:

What kind of mods can I have the ford dealer do for me that won't void the warranty?

I see lot's of guys on here with '11 and '12 that have extensive mods...did you guys get to keep your warranty in place?

Thanks

If that is a concern, I would think they could install anything from the Ford Racing catalog without voiding the warranty.

Want over 700HP? No problem. A Ford Racing 2.9 Whipple, 80 lb. injectors, CAI, and Ford Racing exhaust should do the trick! :shift:

I am planning on doing a full stainless exhaust from headers to tips, a larger crank pulley (if possible),window tint and convert it to E85 (and obviously a tune to go with it)

I got my GT500 on order and I'm now just waiting to hear back from my fab guy about doing the exhaust as soon as it shows.

I'm laughing at those of you that think they have the self control to not start modding. I'm sure once you step on the gas and the rear wheels are spinning wildly and the a$$ end starts to go this way or that the mods will start. After that, all down hill .... And it will be fund.

Im sure I will do a few things here and there, but I really want to keep the warranty in tact. with that said the performance mods i would do first would suspension/handling, the power is quite impressive already. Im hoping a resonator delete with a drop in airraid will help get a little more "whine" out of that blower. Of course tints and a few cosmetics mods. If the exhaust isnt loud enough then ill do a cat back.
