1st thing I wanna do to my 2018 mustang is own one😒😒😒

[@MrAdrian13]

🤣🤣

Lol Same here but I want a GT350 white color with blue race strip, swap out the analog guages to digital, with heated seat , B and O sound system with the technology package......a guy can dream right

Do you own one now lol

Just added a Beith Performance steering wheel this week...completely changed my experience from the drivers seat. Can't say enough good things about it, absolutely love it.

Timbo S550 awesome! I need to get mine on, such a solid mod. 👍

[@jerrydaskoski5667]

Timbo S550 I ordered mine yesterday can't wait for it to get here I installed the new Barton hybrid shifter today this is my third shifter and finally found what I was looking for that thing is a must for guys who want their 2 tom3 shift to be a solid no way to go to 5th it's the real deal

[@JJ-ok4pe]

One reason someone might want the Stage 3 Power Pack is that it builds power pretty much all the way to redline which could be better for driving on a road course. It's the same idea as the Boss 302. More horsepower but not as much torque. Boss was designed for a road course as well. Great videos. Keep them coming.

[@websitesbylou]

Jeff -- "I love that sound." Your comment cracked me up. Here you are trying to tell your audience about the power pack stage 2 while you run up through the gears. And, you interrupt yourself to admire the Corsa exhaust sound. No doubt!!!

[@JeffAshton]

Lou C 😁 I couldn't help myself! 😂

[@gcmfskg]

I've got the stage3 power pack and I love it. I did a Steeda stage 2 suspension first.

[@chriscook7219]

I agree with the power pack2. I have a 16 base GT i was very apprehensive on getting it because i got the ford calibration on my 13 Mustang gt and it was not good. But to my surprise the power pack2 for the s550 was actually awesome!! Not earth shattering as far as power but definitely noticeable, and the overall drivability, the responsiveness, of it was definitely worth it. It pulls hard with 331 gears im getting 373 gears installed in a week that should be a blast with the power pack2.

[@TheCmoney21b]

Great video!! I have been trying to decide between Ford Performance Pack stage 2 or 3 for about 2 months now. What you said about the Ford PP stage 2 makes the most sense based on all the research I have done as well. Stage 2 it is. Thanks.

[@Paul_Johnston]

Jeff! Your trying to make me spend more money and its working! lol On that note, I am looking at BC Forged as I am typing this to get an idea of what wheel I want for my car and what it will ultimately cost me. I have no problems paying more to have something different/custom than to have a generic looking wheel.

[@JeffAshton]

Paul Johnston they are amazing wheels. Let me know if you have any questions about them. There's a ton of different options. I'm an authorized retailer for them as well.

[@Paul_Johnston]

Of course I'll be hitting you up man! It's just getting the money saved up lol. I can't decide which would be better, the two piece like you have or going with their monoblock. Both look amazing.

Nice video! Interesting to note you covered several things I am planning on doing for my GT down the road. Already have Corsa Extreme, looking at getting Michelin Sport tires later this year followed by Power pack 2. After this I am not sure what's next. What would you recommend? Looking to get to 500-550 HP with smooth handling and a lot of torque.

Name of the rims? They are perfect for the GT

[@user-hq2lz6fd6n]

Hey Jeff have you ever had any engine "ticking" sounds with the Coyote engines? I've had my 2017 GT since Nov and the original motor had a ticking sound and the dealer replaced it. That fixed the issue but now, 4K miles later and this new engine is now doing the same thing. Could it be possible that I got two Coyote bad engines. I am dreading going back to the dealer again. The first time they had my car for two months 😫.

[@JeffAshton]

Sorry to hear about that, I haven't had any issues like that. I have had a few other issues, but nothing to that extent.

[@petesnik1282]

Do you worry some if these mods will void your warranty if problems occur. I've got the 17 gt perf pack myself

[@sbiegs3885]

IT WILL VOID THE WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE. I have '17 GT Performance Pack too. I have trouble when I bring mine in for service with a PMAS air flow and a tune. Ford always tell me to return my car to stock before they work on it because the ECU is wiped. I no longer have stock parts for the cold air. So, in other words. My warranty is void. (7 yr bumper to bumper is worthless on the engine)

What exhaust setup do you have ?

[@charlesnash4809]

I had the Perf-Pk on my 2015 GT and grew to hate the Perelli P-zero tires. They stopped and cornered fine but had serious chattering under anything approaching full power. Even 2nd. gear if if was under 90 degrees outside. It was horrible on cool and cold days. I thought it was a Ford problem in the IRS or Torsen. NOT! After only 8K miles they were shot with odd wear patterns on the front pair ( I love fast corners).... I replaced them with summer only BFG tires of the same size and all the troubles went away for good. It was the smartest thing Iv;e done to the car yet.

[@sbiegs3885]

Agreed. It feels like you are on an ice rink with buttered slippers. (

[@MLRaceLegend01]

Love that car, how high is the rev limiter with the whipple?

hey Jeff would you recommend the "Ford Performance Power Pack Stage 2" over a VMP tuner with a PMAS or ROUSH cold air intake? thanks man i would be staying N/A 2016 mustang GT

[@williamabuassi5610]

roush axle backs and MRT res delete

[@Lensync7]

If not boosted... Go with Lund flex fuel tune with long tubes, Jlt or PMass intake and a catback exhaust.... On e85 you are serious.

[@JeffAshton]

Lensync7 I'm down with those too, tried to make the list compatible for warranty. At least up until the SC 😜

[@scottcooper7342]

Sorry, gt350 intake is a must if your NA and a spirited driver. Made a huge difference in my car on the upper range of rpm's. Heck screw the throttle body and stick with the stock when you do it. Of course now, the 18 intake is the way to go...much cheaper with only slight decrease in performance over the gt350. Goal for me is to squeeze every bit of hp without opening the motor up and keeping NA.

What's up Jeff been watching your vids for a while. I hope you can answer some questions for me. Are those Nittos you have on good for rain and dry weather? Also, i'm considering on buying the Power Pack 2 as well but i've heard it makes the exhaust less loud according to some reviews on AM. I want to get some kooks headers and a lund tune, but i feel safer sticking to the warranty. I currently have a corsa xtreme catback and love it, really dont want to make is less loud because it always makes me smile in the morning. I hope you see this and reply. Good luck on GT350 Hunting btw :)

[@demetriusdemarcusbartholom3762]

Whats wrong with the pirelli pzeros? I love them and have replaced them with some more pirellis I have a K&N CAI can I just buy a throttle body and a tune and get the same performance as the Ford Stage 2?

[@Spiritcr1jsher]

Yes but it wont be as reliable as a Ford tune, regardless of what mustang owners tell you . "I've had my _____ tune for 20k miles with no issues "...... as if 20k miles is a lot and there are things people just learn to live with on a modded car .

[@AsaNickelson]

You do not have to get a ford tune for it to be reliable lol. In fact OTS tunes are the worst way to go. A dyno tune from a reputable tuner is just as good if not better than the stuff that ford just flashes to a car.

[@DavyDave1313]

Asa Nickelson do I need a tune period? Only mods on my car are Borla ATAK fatback and the cold air intake which I believe isn’t even legal in my state :/

[@Spiritcr1jsher]

@@AsaNickelson says who ? The Ford tune keeps the warranty and not a single aftermarket tuner will back up their tune and fix something when it breaks . Do you really think that a tuner can get 35hp with just a tune and the people who designed the car and engineered it only know how to squeeze out 20hp ? No but Ford knows what is safe and the tuners for the most part dont care . Just look on all the forums, there are threads by the thousands about aftermarket tunes messing up their cars . I'm on my 12th mustang and I have yet to see someone with an aggressive aftermarket tune hit 40k miles with a without a problem. Dont know what you are "lol" about . Just follow the money , if someone is going to tell you a tune is safe but they hold no responsibility then they know it's not that safe .

[@Spiritcr1jsher]

Ford will stand behind their tune ... Nobody else will and ford's tune actually is CARB legal which actually matters to some people.
