    Launch Suspension

    I think I'm missing something. The tires stuck well, so I'm not sure why I would go with a stickier tire. That's originally what I was told also, which is why my shocks had previously been on their softest setting. But the current popular opinion seems to be to have the rears set hard to allow...

    Launch Suspension

    So I made the following changes. 1. Swapped the Nitto 555r 275's for 315's 2. Switched the Koni's to their hardest setting to transfer weight to the tires. 3. Replaced the stock upper and lower control arms with UPR's. My passes sucked because I hit the rev limiter (you can hear it from...

    Kicking a dead horse > Removing quad shocks

    I lived in Monroe. They're not too far. Especially if you wnt to give your car a fair shot.

    Kicking a dead horse > Removing quad shocks

    Yep, that's why I asked. It's very real. While island is fun to run on, it's not the track to go to for numbers because it runs uphill!. Go to Englishtown or Lebanon Valley.

    What control arms are you running?

    UPR upper & lowers. No opinion yet, but I'll let you know tonight when I take my first run at the track with them. UPDATE: *No improvement whatsoever.* None...nada...zilch.

    went to the track last night...

    I like the vid. Now I know what it looks like to go faster than the speed of light! :D

    Kicking a dead horse > Removing quad shocks

    I don't understand that at all, unless it possibly had something to do with the track prep. Where were you, Island?

    Got a supercharger at last

    Very nice setup! I hope you have some SFC's and enough rubber to hook all that new found power.

    How Much HP Does it Take to Trap 113?

    I'm having a hard time believing that. I've seen 300 hp cars trap that high, but not toting 3300#'s.

    The new 5.0 in a SN95???

    Ouch! Now that's harsh! Personally, I don't think they're bad at all, just a little..Um.."hefty". :) I'm just addicted to mine. I'll still take that 5.0 though. :nice: That's the sweetest mill Ford has produced in decades.

    What do low boost superchargers trap?

    Makes sense, but your setup is way past "basic" as is mine now. The base model Vortech he's asking about will get him 6-8 lbs and I've never even heard of one netting 12's in that region without additonal modification than he has now.

    corvette question

    'Vette Etiquette. It's been around long before even I've been driving and that's a long time. And you're right, it does not extend past their own and 'Stangs seldom do it at all. Shame.:shrug: But at the same time, I found the stang guys to be much more socialable and helpful at events like car...

    What do low boost superchargers trap?

    cronin had much better numbers than I did. When I first installed the Vortech, I was dynoed at 325 rwhp. Running in the tracks in that area (Lebanon, NY, Island & Englishtown, NJ) when I first got it (and had 3.73's & Catback), I was launching at about a 2.1 60' and trapping mid 13's (13.45...

    Awesome! FI is the single most exciting mod you can get. Enjoy! Are you getting a cooler with that?

    3.55, 3.73, 4.10 Automatic

    Sell it. It's going to get stolen anyway.:rolleyes: Sorry, having lived there for many years, I couldn't resist.:p Seriously, given how wet the snow gets, I wouldn't go for 4.10's You're going to have enough trouble with 3.73's. That said, with your truck and public trans. it's pretty easy to...

    Likewise. That's definately American muscle. It's okay to love Mustangs and enjoy other cars too...Really! :flag:

    The new 5.0 in a SN95???

    Maybe for some that's a better option, but not me. I have so much in this car besides the engine and with only 9k miles, it still is new... and I own it outright to boot. This engine or another, there is no way I would use that money for a down payment and be paying for 72 months and modding all...

    What's the deal with MPH?

    Last I heard he partnered with Mr. Norms or something like that and has moved somewhere in NW Illinois. I didn't make a note of it because I don't deal with him anymore. Try this. http://www.chicagolandareamodernmopars.com/mr-norm-s-garage-f43/info-on-mr-norm-s-garage-t2137.htm

    If anything were to happen to my beloved 2v, it would be very tempting to grab one.:hail2:

    Diablo vs SCT

    I've had both and they each worked very well. Free tunes carries ALOT of weight. Makes it a no-brainer IMO.
