    Operation 'Not Performance Improved'

    I wouldn't worry too much about the numbers. Let the mph at the track speak for itself. When I put LT's on my car, the dyno didn't really show much difference at all, but I picked up a consistent 4-5 mph at the track with the nitrous. Picked up 2-3 on motor.

    x2 I love how stealthy that blower is!

    Operation 'Not Performance Improved'

    That does look good black! As for some new hp #'s, I'll guess 405/405.

    nitrous?

    For a 150 shot or less, you are wasting your money with a direct port kit. By direct port, I mean a system with 1 nozzle per cylinder. A single nozzle or plate kit is the way to go. It will save you a ton of money and will be alot simpler to install. With a single nozzle kit, the...

    nitrous?

    Those mods should not effect how the nitrous system works, wet or dry kit.

    nitrous?

    With a wet kit, yes. Usually it is due to having too much fuel and not enough air velocity moving through the intake. Basically spraying it at too low of an rpm. I'm not saying that worse things can't happen, but typically the intake goes first.

    nitrous?

    People will prefer one or the other, but for me I enjoy knowing that I'm simply a fuel jet away from fine tuning my a/f ratio. Good luck doing that with a dry kit, lol!

    nitrous?

    A dry kit would require pretty much a spot on tune, bigger fuel injectors, higher volume fuel pump, etc. A wet kit is more user friendly IMO. From what I have seen, with a wet kit you would normally lose an intake manifold when something goes wrong. With a dry kit you have a greater chance of...

    nitrous?

    Peak torque on a nitrous car using a "wet" kit will be the moment the nitrous system activates. So in that sense, the torque down low = peak torque.

    nitrous?

    agreed and agreed! If you want it to be safe, get an rpm window switch. Like Stumbaugh said, get some colder plugs, a better fuel pump if your gonna spray more than 100 shot, pull timing on anything above a 100 shot, and get a window switch. FWIW, I've been spraying a 125 shot for...

    nitrous safety

    Safe is a relative term when it comes to nitrous use, lol! If you have the right setup, and are responsible about using it, then a 150 shot can be safe. In most cases, that is pushing the envelope however. In all reality though, a 75 or 100 shot is pretty safe for these motors. Even on...

    Photo of high speed on speedometer

    Well, considering that a bone stock GT will trap between 95-100 mph in the 1/4 mile. I'd say exceeding 100 mph is a lock, lol!

    slicks?

    I agree with most about using MT et street radials. I've gotten great results using them, high 1.5x 60's on a 255/60/15. However, if you want it to hook everytime reguardless of track prep I'd go ahead and run a full slick. My next set of big/littles will have slicks on them.

    Can an '03 Cobra carrier be used with Strange 31 spline axles?

    It should be a direct fit, as long as you have c-clip style axles. Lots of people are using the Cobra differntials in there 8.8" rears.

    Used H-pipe. What's it worth?

    I bet you could get more than $60 for it. I'd list it for $100-125 and let it ride for a week or so then start coming down if nobody calls about it.

    Suspension ?'s

    Really depends on what you like to do with your car. If you don't race it much, drag racing that is, then I would also go with shocks/struts before I bought control arms. Really, now that I think about it I would get some good shocks/struts before control arms no matter what type of...

    I agree with Mark, but it does make for a pretty cool camera angle!

    Lowering Spring Question

    IMO, if money is tight you should just get some Ford Racing "C" springs. They will give you 1 1/4" drop and if you remove the isolators you can get a full 1 1/2" drop out of them. If you go any further than 1 1/2" then yes, caster/camber plates are a must. Mine is dropped right at 1 1/2" and...

    Long tubes vs shorty headers

    LT's will not add 20-30 rwhp NA. More like 5-15 rwhp. You will gain hp/tq under the curve, which is the biggest benefit however. If you are a drag racer, you will see gains at the track of around 2-4 mph NA. Even more if you are spraying or boosting your car. I also have Flowtech LT's...
