The AM Girl...

Sexy Girl

Introducing the AM Girls (from left to right): Julia, Lisa, Kelley, Kristin, Brooke, Megan.
There’s nothing like getting a close view of 500+ of the top Mustangs from around the country. Nothing, that is, except a close view of the AmericanMuscle girls! Not only are these girls smokin’ hot, but they collected thousands of dollars in raffle tickets sales for charity. If you missed them walking around the show (get that checked out!), we’ve got some video footage for you!

Now I can’t give too much away… but if you’d like to see more of these girls, pick up the AmericanMuscle 2010 Calendar. It will be available on our store in October, or in the January issue of 5.0 Magazine on sale 11/9 — or Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords on sale 11/23!

2011 Mustang GT: Prototype CAI & Dyno Tune — Huge Power Gains!

Bama Custom Tuning

Our 2011 5.0L Mustang GT, a Prototype CAI, and the Bama Custom Tuning Team.

Within 24 hours of taking possession of our 2011, we turned our Bama Custom Tuning division loose on some exclusive prototypes for upgrades to see what performance gains they could squeeze out of the GT. With a custom tune developed on our dyno and an exclusive new CAI prototype from C&L Performance, we were able to feed our need for speed. Read more and watch the video at blog.americanmuscle.com/2011-mustang-gt-prototype-cai-dyno-tune-huge-power-gains.

Here’s a summary of our chassis dyno testing:

* Stock — no modifications: 363RWHP / 331RWTQ
* Factory tune, Prototype C&L cold air intake: 374RWHP / 338RWTQ
* Bama Custom Tune, stock Airbox: 379RWHP / 357RWTQ
* Bama Custom Tune, Prototype C&L cold air intake: 385RWHP / 362RWTQ
2011 Mustang GT 5.0L owners can expect a nice performance bump from just a tune alone. These numbers rival the high output of the SVT Performance group’s Supercharged 2003-2004 Cobra and various other high performance models from Ford’s Specialty Vehicles Team. Camaros and Challengers, watch out! With a Bama Tune installed, the new 5.0L has become the leader of the pack!

In addition to the rear wheel horsepower and torque gains, drivers will experience better throttle response, faster/firmer shifting, and an overall increase in driveability. These hot new calibrations are available immediately, exclusively from AmericanMuscle.com. Final production versions of the C&L cold air intake will be ready to purchase from AmericanMuscle before the end of summer, 2010. Stay tuned for more exclusive prototype test results and footage!

AmericanMuscle & Swarr Auto = Great Mustang

V6 Mustang Project Car

How do you take a V6 Mustang from stock to super-powered? Dave Kaek from AmericanMuscle and Swarr Auto have teamed up to modify a stock 2005 V6 Mustang and see just how much horsepower they can crank out of 6 cylinders. Check out the video series to see what they did to make an average Mustang look and perform like a super-powered beast!

The first video features Dave Kaeck kicking things off at Swarr Auto with our baseline dyno run to get the raw numbers, plus a first look at the huge variety of parts we're using on our '05 Legend Lime V6.

Video two begins our performance overhaul with the installation of a new CAI, exhaust, and custom tune. We also start our styling with by installing lowering springs and adding a new set of wheels and tires.

In the third video, the crew from Swarr Auto brighten up the 'Stang with new headlights, taillights, and and some side marker decals. After that, Dave heads to the home garage for some final styling featuring painted parts from AM.

And in our fourth video, we reveal our final numbers as Dave heads back for one last dyno run (and to add a little something extra).

A firm lotion — the lever of a transmission of own working out with the truncated courses and a white tip. The spare ball of black colour lays in a glove coupe. Whence such fetishism concerning process of switching of speeds? Simply company Hurst here "stamps" 40 years sports side scenes and selectors for mechanical and automatic transmissions.
