I think the Mustang times are traction limited. And GM has a lot of room to make the Camaro superior. The Mustang is about as good as it can get...but the Camaro's "mediocre" (not my words) IRS is nowhere near it's performance max and Ford's fancy 5.0 is still no match for a GM small block...

Well...much like the 6.0, I'm sure the 6.4 is reliable for Navistar...

Oh I hear ya. That is what was quoted on www.gm-trucks.com from a 93 tune. It probably feels like 45HP due to the Satan-like torque management being turned wayyyyy down.

Very true. The company I am working with, Black Bear Performance, deals with EFI Live. That being said, I am getting a 93 octane tune which will net me between 25-45HP and 1-2 better MPG on average. April 24th can't come fast enough.

I'm not sure...but over on www.gm-trucks.com they have all kinds of threads on which is best. I have heard that BB is the best due to capability.

Meh...just proves 142K people made the wrong choice...):h

The new ones...as in the GMT-900s? They are...but my cluster is from a 2006 Escalade. Any GMT-800 cluster from 1999-2002 is swappable, and any cluster from 2003-2007 classic is swappable. Thanks for moving...didn't even see the DIY section.

Despite holding the crown of best truck in the world, the GMT-800 basic cluster is not all that exciting. It is very functional, well designed, etc...but from a style stand point...it could be improved. So, I started to research the idea of swapping the cluster after reading about how easy it...

Wow...bow down to the STILL KING of HD trucks...the other two imitators will be playing catchup...again: And you can get the 2011 HD in a regular-cab, short-box configuration WITH the D-MAX!

Well...that went well. Monday I was all set on going down to get the amp......but my plans changed when we got an ambulance call shortly before 4pm on Monday (I get off at 4pm). Of course, the place that had the amp closed at 5pm...and was about 35 minutes away from my house. No worries...

OK...I think I found an amp locally...for only $150.00!!!!! It is out of a 2005 Escalade with 75K on it. Now, I am 99.9% sure that ALL Escalades got the LUX amp. But that .1% of doubt is making me confirm that 100% of Escalades received the LUX amp. Am I right? --------------------...

I hear that... Sounds good. I'll start keeping an eye on e-bay then. If you hear something, just let me know. Thanks for looking though. I do appreciate it.

Yeah...from what I understand, some wires need to change locations. BUT...seeing as I successfully swapped a Mercury Marauder cluster into a Crown Vic, this should be a walk in the park.

X2! I am getting a BB tune in April...and an extra PCM so that if I need warranty work...they won't know...

Black Bear is the only choice. I am getting a BB tune in April on my 5.3.

Of course it handles better...that's why Ford's SUVs got IRS but the sports car didn't. /sarcasm.

I think it would be just fine as it handles the power from this: 425 HP 406 TQ Plus, Control Blade was designed to be as strong as a SRA: LINK

Ha! I'm such a nOOb!!! Control Blade IRS

Yeah...and if I add an upgraded suspension and wheels to my truck it will handle better as well. Without that 'Track Pack', the Mustang pulls about .87G...FAR behind the Camaro with NO handling enhancements. Plus, on the Top Gear test track, the SRA GT500 did a lap in 1.30.0. The IRS G8...
