    Highly Recommendeding G-force T5

    1320, I understand and totally appreciate all input even 6th hand as it's a little better than none what so ever. Glad your friend's unit is FINALLY working well. Hope it and mine last a long long time. If not, I'm sure I'll be on here posting, THE HONEYMOON IS OVER!!! But for now at...

    Highly Recommendeding G-force T5

    For better than a year, I've been shopping for a better alternative to my borg warner "world class t-5" which clearly has seen better days. Days back when I could get it into 2nd gear as well as third. Damn those were some great times. But as horse power has risen, my little tranny had...

    Help with suspension setups

    Can not recommend loudly enough tcp supframe connectors and their "x cage". Also very little is more important to your handling than the rubber holding you on the road. I went with the biggest sway bars front and rear I could find, added the subframes mentioned above, kyb (cheap and pretty...

    Problem with t5 clutch cable and tri y's

    As mentioned in another thread I wrote about finally getting my g-force t5. It's running great, but the guys at Mike Reed's Aamco (in Bakersfield) have warned me that my tri y headers are running way too close to my clutch cable. Anyone know a good quick cheap fix for this delima or do I...

    Ordered my G-force tranny

    Well.....I picked up my car today. After much screwing around and a lot of help from the guys at Mike Reed's Aamco and CJ Pony Parts it's shifting and running like never before. Feels strong and this thing is geared differently than my previous t5 in that first gear isn't such a short gear...

    Cobra's hood

    so on another thread there were pics of the test mule doing some laps. And, we've all seen the shots of Shelby driving the mule. Both have a big giant non functional scoop looking thing on the hood (likely to make room for the blower). What if the final production has something kinda like...

    Questions about going from 302 to 408

    Thanks for the intel! I gotta assume there is someone in central or So CA who does quality precision porting on Trick flow heads. Any suggestions?

    Questions about going from 302 to 408

    Absolutely, that is what I was alluding to when I said, "other than a SHORTBLOCK, what other parts will I need" I may not have been clear. I'm ultimately trying to figure out what parts I can re-use. I was hoping heads and carb would be up to the task, as that is another 1500 that I'd...

    Ordered my G-force tranny

    In theory ALL NECESSARY parts came in friday from CJ Pony Parts. I want to state again that these guys seemed to work overtime to get me the parts that they felt I would need. Numerous conversations between them and me and them and the shop doing the install. Hopefully I'll be driving...

    Questions about going from 302 to 408

    I hear you, but I was under the impression that my trick flow heads would be good to go and my bg 650 would also be up to the task. I'm looking at a shift point around 6000 to 6500. Am I way off base? thanks for the input.

    Questions about going from 302 to 408

    Hey guys, I have a year + (hell maybe 2) til my gt500 gets here. So I was thinking about maxing out my current 66. Going from a lowly nicely modded 302 to a 408 seemed like a way to increase hp. Now I'm not much of a mechanic but other than a standard short block, what will I need. I'm...

    07+ Shelby/Cobra convertible?? Wife's idea!

    Same for me. She told me that I DEFINATELY NEEDED ONE. I agree completely with her. Then again I just bought her an Acura MDX so I guess, it's only fair.

    Changes!!!!

    I've heard some of things things, but not all. I'm really going to miss that hood, unless they come up with something special. I don't have a problem with taped stripes at all. I wouldn't mind if they put some fat bullet/Torque thrust looking wheels on the beast. I hope to hell they don't...

    First Race with LS1

    Yeah, you're right. An 04 cobra with around 370 rwhp stock would have no chance against an ls1 f body with 320 or so at the crank. PUT DOWN THE PIPE.

    Why does ford keep letting GM beat us?

    So I say " GM offers NOTHING anywhere close to Mustang performance and refinement for anything near the price." And you say compare trucks???? WTF. again: "GM offers NOTHING anywhere close to Mustang performance and refinement for anything near the price." Your response: Compare...

    Why does ford keep letting GM beat us?

    The urge to be sarcastic is overwhelming, but I'll fight it this time. First of all THEY ARE NO LONGER MAKING MACH 1's. Second the new vette basically starts at 50k. I know they have been throwing around something like 45, but I've looked and not seen anything like it. The new...

    Lemon Laws and our Warranty

    I would definately contact another dealership. Further since FORD RACING makes rear end gears, I absolutely would have them make the changes. Much more likely they would honor your warrenty.
