    Rebuild T-45 versus T-56 conversion costs? Help please!!!

    i believe the T56's 6th speed has the same o/d ratio as both the T3650 and T45. the only difference is gears 1-5 are geared closer on the T56 to kinda bridge that gap the 5spd's have going from 4th to 5th. IMO if you can afford it, go with the T56. Its a stout transmission, they hold up well...

    Freakin T/As

    1) better tires will help, but if he is that setup for drag (IE stall+slicks) you dont stand much of a chance unless you are setup close to the same. your 4.1's will help if you can transfer that power to the ground during the first 60ft. 2) Spray. if once you guys are moving he cant get an...

    1996-2004 Mustang 2" Drop Spindles Any Good?

    just get the standard spring/shock combo like everyone else. Ride quality is directly related to the combo, if you get 20$ ebay coilovers or cheapo springs you have a ****ty ride, if you spend the money on the right combo, you get a great ride.

    Went To The Dark Side!

    lol but you forget you are comparing a pretty modded mustang to a stock C6. just think of how much a better platform a C6 is, and how much more badass it will be when the C6 is at the same "Pretty Modded" point your current GT is.....

    5.0 Cobra or 4.6 Cobra...

    IMO for me, it depends on goals. If i want the best bang for buck without going Forced Induction, i would go with the 5.0. you can hit 300whp pretty cheap without much effort. However if ForcedInduction is in the plans, both motors wont last long enough to keep you happy (8-10psi from a blower...

    Im tired of Ls1 smack talking

    its actually a 5.7 (350ci) versus a 4.6L (281ci). if Ford went with a 5.4L 4V combo on a stang, it would be at 320-330hp and dead even with a SS/WS6. Hell, take a 99/01 Cobra or a Mach1 against a SS/WS6, youre still losing but its not by much. see what happens when you try to make a closer...

    ever drive starting in second gear?

    it puts more wear on the clutch since you have to ride it out a bit longer, but thats about it.

    Dropzone racing shocks/springs

    isnt DropZone like a ebay brand? i think i knew a guy with DropZone coil-overs on his S2K and he was telling me how much better the car felt when he moved on to real coilovers (Tein i think).

    side exhaust

    ill be the first to go against side pipes with spintechs and o/r X. i think it sounded insanely crappy. i ran that way for a few months and swapped the stock H back in for smog and realized how much better the stock H with the spintechs and side exhaust sounded than the catless x pipe. maybe a...

    Is it worth it for me?

    however if you do it once, you have to use the same place again. you cant dyno one shop for baseline and then go somewhere else for after-mods because no two shops dyno's are calibrated equally.

    side exhaust

    just make your own. i used the Spintech 333SCS muffler (inlet and outlet are on the same side) on my 02 GT with the Roush kit on it, made all the other Roush guys jealous they had such **** sounding exhaust.

    MGW Ltd Short Shifter Yay or Nay

    all shifters are in the 160-180$ range. you can get a Tri-Ax for 169$ or a MGW for 179$ and a pro5.0 for 159$. just gotta pay a bit more for a better shifter (IMO MGW's advantage is the shift handle and its ability to be adjusted more than standard stang shift handles)

    quick! Supercharger question...

    you can get Eatons on other sites (IE SVTperformance) for 400 and under, most of which from people who have gone to KB/Whipple land. IMO you still need EVERYTHING else, aftercooler, heat exchanger, pump, piping, all the pulley **** that i cant even think about the names. all that **** will...

    Is it okay to have a wheel stick out past the fender just ever so slightly?

    looks ok to me, as long as the fronts are tucked in or even and not all low-ryder style. Rears look BA if they stick out a bit, especially if they have some fat meat under them, not no little 275's with spacers, im talking about 315's.

    Racer please read/help

    you should put in a set of 3.90's and some really good wide tires out back (KDW2's, Nitto555R, etc). unless you get longtubes most of the bolt-ons listed wont net you much gains, the 4.6L doesnt flow enough air for airflow mods to make much of a difference like they do for the larger motors (IE...
