    Id say try a junkyard like stated above. Oh and sorry to go off topic but WTF is with those stupid levers, when I bought my car both of mine were broken off, can we replace those? Or are they part of the seat cause its a PITA to flip it forward cause its two steps, hit the recline lever then the...

    How bad is it to hit the rev. limiter?

    Hitting the limiter wont really hurt as long as you dont just RAIL on it at the limiter, if you just bump it by running a gear out too far it wont hurt but if you stand on the limiter all the time it will definitely do some damage. My old Talon had a pretty nasty setup on it and I would bump the...

    Quality of Pypes offroad-X pipe and violator axle back????

    You might want to hear it in person because I tried my pypes catless x without cats with my SLP loudmouths and it was just stupid loud. I had cats back on it within 20 minutes. I am 100% pleased with my catted pypes xpipe and slp loudmouths though.

    time to replace the stock shocks

    Your right about the truck being neglected, I bought it at 195,000 miles and it still had factory dampers so I replaced them. And you are also correct, I felt as if you were being confrontational. And since it seems as if you arent I apologize for taking a confrontational stance against you. I...

    time to replace the stock shocks

    Bad insulators are not going to account for a 1.5" difference in ride height between corners like I measured on my truck. Plus I did not replace springs either, so only thing changed was the dampers. Like I said in my above post, a bad damper will not ALWAYS cause uneven ride height but it CAN...

    time to replace the stock shocks

    Yes they do. This is why when my explorer had bad shocks, it sat uneven at all four corners, replacing shocks made it sit completely even AND higher than it did with the blown shocks. Im not saying every vehicle with blown shocks/dampers will sit uneven or lower, but it can and does happen. Go...

    time to replace the stock shocks

    Thats actually not true. Shocks when blown can greatly effect ride height.

    thinking about ordering Pypes O/R Xpipe

    It would be a good idea to get a tune for a mid-pipe switch, yes. But I would advise against the offroad x. It is LOUD. I like loud but offroad x is just TOO loud. Get the pypes catted x, I love mine, same sound just toned down a bit.

    While doing research into power adders

    theres no setup for the exhaust side, the piping is not gonna work without major modification, no tune, no injectors, no fuel pump or boost-a-pump, nothin. look up a turbo kit for any other vehicle and you will find it for around that price with similar stuff in it. Its just ebay junk to get...

    05-09 faster then a H/C/I 5.0?

    H/C/I 5.0 should be able to beat a stock 05-09 gt, but a h/C/I s197 vs H/C/I 5.0 theres no competition :)

    Supercharger fitment?

    It probably is the same as the gt500 or at least similar. The GT500 s/c wont fit either without major modification, those s/c's are meant for a 5.4l motor, so their intake and all that is meant for fitment to a 5.4l. Just like anything you can do it but it just wouldnt be worth the time and...

    Eyes hurt from searching, need backspacing for 15x8 draglites for year

    I guess I should have clarified, I am using the jegs stars front and rear. Good to know no modification is necessary for the rear. I appreciate the help.

    Eyes hurt from searching, need backspacing for 15x8 draglites for year

    Well I know the swaybar needs to be relocated and i know the brake calipers need to be shaved down a bit, and I read a 3/8 spacer is needed on the front with 15x4s. Now I need to know what backspacing is needed for 15x8 rears and if a spacer is needed with it. Also if extended lugs are needed.

    Eyes hurt from searching, need backspacing for 15x8 draglites for year

    EDIT, title shouldve said REAR not year. I have searched and searched and searched more, only to find conflicting results. I have an 06 GT, I am putting 15x4s on the front and want 15x8s on the rear. I know the rear swaybar has to be relocated, however I have seen people say that for 15x8s you...

    Will a programmer take care of..........

    I had a lightweight flywheel on my old talon, it actually seemed to make street driving easier, although track driving took a bit of getting used to due to the fact you had to hold it at higher rpm than before to launch it. Car was much more responsive and loved to rev out
