Well I got my tuner shipped, ordered, and installed. As I stated before, I am buying everything through American Muscle because of their great service, and as part of buying the tuner, I got a free custom tune programmed into the tuner for the exact engine parts that I have installed so far. The purpose behind the tune was to have my Mustang run more efficiently with the original stock parts and to fully utilize the after-market parts I have installed so far.

I got the next phase of working on my car complete. I got a new BBK Throttle Body and a Steeda Throttle Body Spacer. The spacer pushes the throttle body out about an inch from the actual engine. There is a swirl design inside the spacer that helps promote airflow by breaking the surface tension of the incoming air. The new throttle body itself helps bring better and increased airflow into the engine for the purpose of adding more horsepower to the engine.

Mustang CAI

Hardware, Mustang Comments Off

I just received my Cold Air Intake for my Mustang that I ordered a few days from American Muscle(great website and service btw). I ordered the BBK brand CAI for two reasons, one it was technically the cheapest by about $20 at the time of ordering and BBK also has a video on their website for installing the CAI on my 2005 series Mustang. Personally, I learn best through watching others versus reading or hearing, so the video installation series they have is great. Following the video, it took me no more then 30 minutes to install the BBK CAI. After installing the CAI my Mustang sounded a little bit louder, which is awesome.

Elgato Systems has recently released Turbo.264, its h.264 hardware video encoder accessory for Mac computers. Some may be asking why should I buy a video encoder when my Mac can already encode videos with h.264? Well, whenever you use Quicktime, for example, to encode a video, it is using the Quicktime software and your processor to render out and encode the video. When videos are being encoded it pretty much uses 100% of your processors power, leaving you with next to no room to do anything else(browse the internet, listen to music, etc).
