    In my 69, with 351w I'm running the 67/73 SMALL AND INTERMEDIATE BLOCK, 390 TO 520 lbs/in I LIKE EM!:nice: I've got the TCP subs and x-brace, 1 1/8" sway bar with all polygraphite bushings from PST, and the 17" wheels - and it goes through turns sooo nicely.. I haven't done any hard...

    TCP power R&P now only 2500

    everyone naturally wonders, "HOW MUCH" - and naturally you can't say, but at least tell us, what are the "significant" parts of the setup. I'd assume this won't involve a specially designed rack <grin> - What rack setup did you use for your prototype? (I'm sure I could find it by going thru...

    TCP power R&P now only 2500

    I know what you mean about competition.. And if that SpeedDirect place can price a mustang power R&P for the price they do the vette conversion for, then they are gonna do REAL well - cuz their power R&P system is like 1200.. And for 1200 for a power setup, I'd send the check out tomorrow..

    The only part that "concerns" me, an a very ignorant way, is the performance of an ESCORT rack and pinion? Are these these tough enough for a 3400lb car, that has say 500hp, tricked out auto-x ready suspension that will push the car hard into a turn??? Hows the radius on such a rack unit...

    I haven't seen it - but don't get too excited. If Mustangs Plus is still selling it at 25 million dollars, then no way someone else is selling it a grand cheaper - I'm sure the pricing is out of date - remember, it takes at least a month or so (if not longer) to print up a parts catalog...

    If their overhead is from insurance, then why don't places like Woodward or Appleton charge ALOT more for their stuff? Same with brake companies like Wilwood? My Wilwood boxes all say for "RACE USE ONLY" - and of course, for racing, bad things can happen so there's really no such thing as...

    TCP power R&P now only 2500

    Re: Parallel Threads! That won't ever happen - offer the same performance but with less looks - then everyone one will buy that and TCP can't continue to rape their "valued" customers. I think the only way to get a cheap power R&P setup is to create a sweet setup and do it as "public domain".

    chepsk8 - very true about hte lawyers - and explanations like that make sense. Which also reinforces my idea of making a system "public domain" with full specs. This way, no one person or company is selling this "kit", but rather components - kinda like cable descramblers. For example - if...

    TCP power R&P now only 2500

    for sure - lots of good info coming down the pike - keep it up everyone :-) As I get updates I will certainly post them here... Of course, we still need to get the detailed pics and/or install info from the TCP setup. I didn't realized the TCP unit REPLACED the cross-member? I dunno -...

    TCP power R&P now only 2500

    more the merrier! At minimum, we need bracket specs, tie rod specs I'd think, maybe centerlink measurements? And AutoCad files are plenty good for me - I've got that here along with the viewer - and then once that's done I can show em to my bro to figure out whats involved exactly in doing...

    TCP power R&P now only 2500

    ok, who around here has the TCP unit installed - either manual or power it doesn't matter - I KNOW someone around here has it! Don't be worried if TCP is watching - there's nothing illegal or wrong with obtaining their mounting design specs - or taking pictures of it and posting them here for a...

    whoa - I sent em a lengthy "note" :-) I encourage everyone to do the same - stir up a little heat. It's one thing if they "adjust" the prices a little - but what they are doing is flat out WRONG. If they were Microsoft, the DOJ would be all over them like flies on sh1t. Last I checked -...

    for no othe reason than to further aggrevate myself - look at the current cost of the KRC pump "kit". http://www.totalcontrolproducts.com/krc.html Yeah, bite me TCP!!! Now you raise the price of your stupid p/s pump too!? $800!? Your company is out of your mind. Man, for $800 I could...

    TCP power R&P now only 2500

    like I already said - what we need to do is pool together some resources and come up with our own setup.. I don't mean we as in StangNet classic people - but a few of us with the resources to do up a "kit"... I can get any machine work done - like some nice machined brackets. hey, whoever...

    yeah, only 2500 - I know this is kinda old news, but I just checked on it today and almost fell out of my chair. how in the world can they just up the cost $800!!! That is utter highway robbery (no pun intended).. Now IS the time for some ppl to put their heads together to come up with a...
