    Broken speedometer on '98 GT

    The speedometer on my '98 GT quit working a few weeks ago. Prior to that, it would do some funky jumping around or stay completely on zero. It finally gave up the ghost when it did a complete sweep of the gauge and the needle now rests on the other side of the peg. I swapped out the VSS this...

    Best location for new gauges: A pillar or in-dash?

    I'll be putting in 2 new gauges soon: oil pressure and water temperature. Not sure if I want to locate them on the A pillar or in the dash bezel with a gauge on each side. To those who have one or the other or both: I would prefer the in-dash bezel but how viewable are the gauges? Looks...

    Are aftermarket gauges really worth it?

    I've been contemplating getting some aftermarket gauges for my stang which is normally aspirated and intends to stay that way. I've been looking at adding new oil pressure and coolant temp. gauges to replace the crappy stock gauges. In the long run is it really worth it and are these the best...

    Anybody here have Stage I cams and didn't get a tune?

    Or at the very most a mail order tune. Just curious. A dyno tune is not always accesible and I'm wondering those who didn't get a dyno tune how your car runs. Thanks.

    If you're upgrading your front GT brakes to Cobra brakes...

    ...is it worth it to do the rears also? I eventually want to upgrade my front brakes with the Cobra brake kit (w/ stainless steel lines) and I'm debating whether to replace the backs also. The back rotors have been turned once, and there is plenty of pad left. Don't really care about caliper...

    Front tire size dilemma

    Okay I'm going to need tires very soon. I've got 255/40's on 17x9 Cobra R's on every corner. For the new set, I'm definately going 275/40 on the rears. No way in heck am I going to get a different rim size so my question is: Do I go with 245/45's on the front? I heard that these tires...

    How long do your tires generally last you?

    I'm asking this because I've got 14 000 on my present tires and the fronts need to be replaced. I rotate them about every 5000 miles, keep pressure at 30psi, did an alignment about 15000 miles ago (steering wheel is still pretty straight) and don't to virtually any burnouts :rolleyes: The...

    Anybody running 285/40/17s on a 9" wheel?

    I've got 9" rims and I've been considering running 285/40/17's (specifically Nitto's) on my rears. Anybody else running these size tires on a 9" rim. How's the fit (i.e. too much side bulge)?

    What are your shift speeds on your 4R70W transmission?

    Ever since I installed my shift kit, my transmission shifts are (obviously) more defined although it feels like it goes into 2nd to quickly. To summarize: 1-2 about 10 mph 2-3 about 25 mph 3-OD about 45 mph I'd like to hear from others with the 4R70W that have shift kits/J-mods and...

    315/35/17 on a '96-'98 GT. Does yor exhaust rub your tires?

    I currently have a Bassani catback on my '98GT with 255/40/17 tires on my rear. There is about an inch gap between the catback and the tire so the biggest I could go with in the rear is 275/40. I would like to get some 17x10.5's with some 315/35's for the rear but there is no way the catback...

    Headers suggestion for auto w/Bassani X-pipe

    I'll be doing my PI swap in a few months on my '98 GT (auto) and was contemplating swapping out the stock headers as well. I have a Bassani x-pipe and cat back. I was going to get Bassani headers but I don't believe they make them for my year (manual only). Any suggestions or anybody with a...

    Cams: Stock vs. PI vs. VT Stage I

    I've done a little research but nothing that will answer my question so I thought I would ask the board. I currently have the stock cams in my 98 GT but I also have the complete PI swap kit (including PI cams) sitting in my garage awaiting installation. I was wondering if it was worth it to...

    In what order should I get these mods done?

    I've planned for a few future mods. They will be done one at a time (funds permitting) and the order in which they will be done are: 1. Complete PI swap then 2. Shift kit/torque converter/transmission cooler followed by 3. 3.73s or 4.10s ending with 4. Tuneup (to correct shift points...

    Question to '98 GT AOD owners w/3.73 or 4.10 gears

    How are the shift points on the auto tranny with 3.73's or 4.10's. I'll definately be throwing in some new gears on my '98 GT and was wondering how funky the shift points get. Did you get a chip burnt or retuned or do you just live with it. I'm not to concerned with the speedo correction...
