    They are UMI Drag Race Lift Bars.

    No more 4x4, pics...(56K beware)

    I got tired of the 4x4 remarks and decided to install a few "new" suspension parts on the GT to give it a "better" stance. I installed some FMS C-Springs sitting around in my garage on the fronts, only. Then I also installed some UMI Drag Race Lift Bars so it raised the...

    99-04 saleen 1/4 mile.....?

    Well, given that I don't have any exact numbers and I know that the power ratings vary during the 99-04 years but... given that they all have the Saleen Racecraft Suspension on them, I'd wager to say that they aren't exactly drag strip monsters out of the box and would most likely run between a...

    So I've heard 4.10's with an automatic, 3.73 with manual but why?

    My 4.10's do not spin so bad at higher mph's. I personally would go higher than 4.10's in an auto w/ a 4R70W. /shrug And I'm sure I'll get flamed for this one but, oh well.... I barely notice a difference in acceleration with my 4.10's over the stock 3.27's. Maybe it was all the hype I was...

    satisfied or not...

    My satisfaction with my car is in direct relation to my right foot and my desire to accelerate. Meaning, for the past few years, I have little to no urge to drive fast or have spirited runs. Hence, I was satisfied with my cars performance. Now that I caught the itch again, I'm dissatisfied...

    Stangs with 315's

    Hmm, I could take a picture of mine but, I'm not lowered and I'd really hate to hear all the 4x4 comments. I have Sumitomo 315's at the moment on 17x10.5's.

    stroker guesses?

    Yeah, it's more beneficial for you to have a big bore over a stroker for pure bang-for-the-buck displacement. I'd get a stroker only if I was already replacing the internals. If I was getting a new block, I'd be all over a big bore. Then again, at that rate, I'd get a big bore stroker :)

    What to do...

    I'm definitely on the side of the fence that favors go before show. I could care less about my car looking better if it doesn't actually perform better to me. Lowering springs are subjective too, though. Just because it lowers your car doesn't mean it'll improve handling around turns. Some...

    Dumb question - Spintech side-exhaust install...

    I used to have spintech's on my Roush. If I remember correctly, the baffles were literally small (3-4") swirls. The inlet side had a baffle closer to the outside than the exit side, I believe.

    Clutch slip debates.

    You are both right to some degree. Either of your assumptions could be correct given proper circumstances. If the clutch continues to slip and never fully grabs, then you are right, if it does grab at some point, then your brother is right.

    Installing LCAs. Any other minor mods I might want to do while I'm in there?

    Well, if I'm understanding this correctly... it would be in your best interest to relieve any and all pressure the LCA's could be under. With no pressure on them, the bolts should be able to be removed with only slight effort. If I'm misunderstanding your question, my apologies. I'll be doing...

    Installing LCAs. Any other minor mods I might want to do while I'm in there?

    This is true to some extent. Although, *just* about any boxed or tubular LCA will provide sufficient enough traction to warrant the removal of the quads. Worst case scenario is, you still have a small amount of wheel hop under heavy load. Simply reinstall the quads or replace them with heavy...

    Granatelli Fuego tuner

    I personally would never touch one of their products. Especially one that messes with my a/f and timing.

    ok, I never ask for opinions, but....

    I really didn't like the steeda wing at first. But I can't deny that it does go with the theme and honestly, if I were building an auto-x car, I'd have a steeda wing.

    dyno tune or handheld?

    I would say that would depend greatly on the tuners in your area. Personally, what I would do is, get a full dyno(approx 3 runs) with a/f and all and send that to Tim and have him build a tune around that and slap it in your handheld. best of both worlds.

    Installing LCAs. Any other minor mods I might want to do while I'm in there?

    Since the stock lower control arms are so amazing to begin with, Ford put in quad shocks as a band-aid to prevent wheel hop under heavy acceleration. Hence when replacing the amazing lower control arms with superior ones, the quad shocks no longer provide the quick fix they were originally set...

    Questions about 99-04 cars

    I don't know how you do it then :) We have serious trouble just fitting the 3 of us in my car with the car seat. It can make for an extremely uncomfortable and upsetting ride for my wife.

    Lower torque box reinforcements to go with those LCA's. Insurance is always nice.
