    First Time At The Track After Gt40p's

    I get what you're saying here... but really I'm interested in keeping it 'street' and just getting my best time possible with the same combo that I can drive "daily" (i drive it pretty rarely but you know what I mean).

    New Clutch

    Well I raced it a few days ago and the clutch held no problem, I'll get 2nd gear rubber anytime I like. I hear what people are saying alot of autozone stuff is crap but I was impressed with the clutch kit the quality of the bearings was clearly superior than most parts store stuff, and I like...

    First Time At The Track After Gt40p's

    True ! I'm not necessarily looking to hit 12's, I'm basically just asking if this seems normal. It's not my first time at a track, I've probably run a total of 15-20 runs on previous mustangs, but first time with this car so I'm trying to figure out if this combo is dialed or if I'm leaving alot...

    First Time At The Track After Gt40p's

    Cool, I think I did alright too. I just need to check because it seems like everyone on the 'net is running 12's with their P combos... but I know it's in the details and gears and slicks seem to be key. Looking at my video afterwards it's clear I grannied the 1-2 shift a bit too much. As for...

    First Time At The Track After Gt40p's

    Just went to the track which unfortunately was ridiculously busy being it's the first decent weather they've had for a test n' tune event. Spent 5 hours there got in 2 runs... lots of waiting but got to see some nice rides. The first run I spun bad, but the 2nd I hooked ok and went 13.82 @102.3...

    New Heads And Same Inlet Tract. No New Power? Wtf??? O_o

    Stock gears do have nothing to do with it. If you add heads and intake that should net you 50+ HP and the car is now slower - it ain't the gears that are the problem.

    New Heads And Same Inlet Tract. No New Power? Wtf??? O_o

    Also, after going through codes... Don't forget about dumb stuff too, like did you put the plug back into the distributor after setting the timing ? Did you tighten it down ? Put the vac line on the fuel pressure regulator ? Have all injectors plugged in ? Just try to go from air intake to...

    New Heads And Same Inlet Tract. No New Power? Wtf??? O_o

    All things being the same and you added GT40x heads and intake over stock and not seeing any difference... and people are seriously suggesting that that gears/MAF/injectors.. etc etc are the problem ?? You need to throw more aftermarket parts at it ? HELL NO - it's not an issue of what parts...

    Pass Emissions With No Cats ?

    Actually I don't know - the guy at the test station said I passed easy but when I looked at the printout later on it didn't have numbers just a PASS, I think you might only get it on a fail to help diagnose. Probably depends on state also, they all have different limits in place. This reminds...

    Are Ebay Headers Any Good?

    They suck. I was in the same spot as you 6 months ago, and I went ahead and ordered the $100 ebay headers. I mocked them up to the head and found that the flange was not even close to straight, visibly bent and I took pictures that I can share if needed. I didn't tighten them further out of...

    With 4.56s because your car will be nutless and take forever just to get through a couple of gears with 3.08s.

    Popular Mods That You'd Recommend To Not Do

    Ya thats pretty much where im at on the gears. Just a pain in the butt driving. Stock gears let you feel more of the motors torque in 1st and 2nd. That said I still have major traction issues in 2nd with stock 3.08s, time for a tire mod I think. Any recommendations for a grippy street tire on...
