    1.5" drop with 18's?

    Rim diameter has nothing to do with how much you can drop a car. 17" or 18" rims all have the same outside diameter of 25.6 or so inches when you put the proper tires on. Therfore, you can go with any suspension lowering kit without worrying. Actually, when you go to something like 18" rims...

    What Gears Should I Get

    N/A autos usually run 4.10's for the street or maybe even 4.30's for the more dedicated racer. Since you have a supercharger you will probably want to go with 3.73's. You could go with 4.10's, but unless you like to take your car to the track a lot they will probably be over kill with that...

    Do it Yourself Rear Seat Delete...

    I made my own last year. I posted a bunch of info on it. Search here (Slider) and over at Coral.net (SliderGT) for it. I am not sure which palce I posted it. I used peg board for the back and 1/4" plywood for the bottom. My back still folds down, and I made it so the bottom lifts up so I...

    Can I cut my springs?

    All these guys saying cutting springs is bad don't know $hit. I have replied to these post plenty of times. Let me just sum it up for you. You can cut your springs with out any adverse affects, IF you don't go crazy. The typical max amount is 1 coil. That would yield you a solid 1" drop...

    Why do people going all out on there 4.6's choose s/c over a turbo

    The reason that superchargers are used more often is that "mass market" turbo systems are new to the 4.6. There is minimal room in the mustangs engine compartment, and that makes turbo install a major PITA. This makes for a very complicated setup with all the piping, aftercooler...

    Mach 460. Can the 6x9 in rear be upgraded to a better speaker?

    If you go to lower ohm speakers you are drawing more current at the same voltage levels, V=I*R -> I=V/R. So, at the same voltage level as before you are suppling more power, P=V*I. This is not always a bad thing "IF" the amp was designed for it. Most high quality amps are setup for this to...

    Mach 460. Can the 6x9 in rear be upgraded to a better speaker?

    Just add a seperate "true" subwoofer to your system. I used to have 15" sub with 450W amp in the trunk, and it sound really good. The MACH 460 is pretty good at mid-bass and up since the 6x8's are woofers and not "subwoofers." It just needs a little down low. The easiest solution is to just...

    sequential taillights

    I have some old Pony Express Performance prototype units. I have had them for about 2 years now. They look really cool. There is no confusion about stopping with seq taillights since the 3rd light (trunk light) comes on, and the lights only seq out once and stop. It is nothing to worry...

    Mach 460. Can the 6x9 in rear be upgraded to a better speaker?

    Just as a note the 6x8's are low passed. You will get some midrange out of them since the crossover is not that low, but the tweeter will not do anything. I have seen component 6x9 woofers, but never 6x8.

    shop selling COPIED performance parts!!

    Patents cost a lot of money. If the product is not really that much different then the competetion, then the company may just save the several thousand dollars it costs for a patent (there are patent lawyer fees, the patent fee, legal fees, etc). Some times it is just not worth the hassle...

    Should I get a spec Clutch?

    They are just fine for everday driving and realtively stock cars. However, once you start to race a lot or make some real power the stock clutches just cannot hold up. I toasted my stock one at the track one day. It just could not handle the 5000 rpm lauches on drag radials.

    Should I get a spec Clutch?

    I think spec makes a good clutch. It grabs great, but it is still easily streetable with pratically the same pedal effort as stock. No matter what clutch you talk about people are going to have both good and bad experiences with it. There are so many variables that go into having a clutch...

    Which Safety Loop with FRPP DS?

    I have a HPM loop that I got from Dallas Mustang. It is a very nice unit. The holes that need to be drilled are easy. You only have to drill 4 of them. The only thing is that you need to remove the seats and pull the carpet and a a wire bundle out of the way. It is actually a lot easaier...

    Time to build Rear end. What do i need?

    - C-clips are not needed. They are really only for cars with drum barkes or that are really fast. - Better off getting a new diff. I have a Eaton, but I heard they are in short supply right now. If not just buy a new truck 31 spline trac loc from someone like GEF Racing. - I bought a...

    Rear differential covers...both sides.

    You cannot put a cover on the other side of the diff :confused: That is actually part of the axle housing. I have a trickflow one and it is very nice, but it take the same amount of fluid as stock.

    Should I get a spec Clutch?

    I have a SPEC stage 2, and it works great for me. However, as others have said the SPEC T/O bearing is pure crap. I made the mistake of putting it on, and it started squeaking with in a few months. That sucks because you have to drop the whole damn tranny to replace. I have just let the...
