    Underside rust on my new 2010 GT500

    my 2006 f150 looked just like that! lol! sorry dude, the b.s is called, and i am not one to do that to people, but your comments are rediculous. bare steel rusts. the control arms on fox mustangs were galvanized, so in areas like cali, they dont rust, but the bearing shells sure did, and...

    Underside rust on my new 2010 GT500

    bro, bare steel, and bare cast iron will look like that in days, i cannot believe yours look that good! every new car out there will look like that on bare non stainless parts. if it really bothers you, paint it now while it is so minor. it will never rust through, but the scale will get...

    got my car dynotuned check it out

    I think it is very good. you would be suprised what 4 octane, and a not-so-safe tune would get you. I would wager a more ragged tune, 91 octane you could be in the 320/350 range. add a converter that stalls about 900 higher, and a drag suspension, and it'll pull the wheels. since hp is a...

    i was worried you may have just read a post where that size was needed....... glad to hear you did it correctly........assuming you used checking springs in place of the stockers, or a solid lifter.......

    331 or 347 Stroker?

    of course he is, read the post. anyhoo, IMHO, if your planning a s/c, dont build a stroker UNLESS you use a good (read: r302, dart, world, boss) block. it is just more wasted money. aftermarket .030 pistons with reliefs, and stock crank/rods is the most cost effective way. if you buy...

    4R70W trans question?

    YEP. all the same stuff. the 5.4 f150 4r is actually called a 4r75w, has a stronger planetary, and a stiffer wave spring. otherwise, same stuff. 98 up is all you want tho.

    Transmission new or rebuilt

    For the same ~1200, Bob Hanlon could build your t5 to a much stronger unit than you will get brand new.... that is the route i suggest. t5's are weak, and knobody knows them better than bob. hanlon motorsports. good luck.
