    275/60R15 DRAG RADIAL

    If you have 3.90s, then you should be going through the traps in 4th gear well before your limiter on a 26" tall tire. Last time I was out at the track, I went through the traps at 112 mph in 4th with a 26" tall tire without banging the limiter. You've got about 100 more rwhp than do I...

    Crushed oil pan

    Now see, that's EXACTLY the way I think . . . Honey, I had to drop the K-member to get the pan off - there is no better time to install headers . . . !

    275/60R15 DRAG RADIAL

    275 / 60 / 15 is a 28" tall tire 275 / 50 / 15 is about 26" You should take this and your gear ratio into consideration before deciding on one of the other.

    Shelby GT 500 Vert spotted tonight!

    Scottsdale, AZ at the good ol' Pavillions. Dark gray - and I hadn't even seen a coupe on the street yet! The vehicle was unoccupied, so I couldn't talk to the owner about it but it was all opened up - VERY nice. Weirdly enough, a pair of Shelby GT-H 'stangs were sitting right next to it . . ...

    Broke rear end? Weird shift under torque. Please help

    Is it possible you damaged a control arm or torque box?

    KB is a pain in the ass to install. If you did, I need advice...q

    What kind of connector is it? Is it a run of the mill molex plug? Can you give us a picture? I guarantee I can help you.

    mid length headers

    I've had my tranny out twice since I installed the Bassani mid-lengths. Simply rent a slide hammer and remove the collectors on both headers and you can get the tranny down pretty easy. This is where it pays to use plenty of anti-seize . . . you did use your anti-seize right?

    Pre amp out put?

    Let's just say, that after 17 years in the car audio business, I thought I make a career out of it.

    UPS guy dropped off a heavy box today!

    Wow! Educate me - what's the difference between the stock calipers that come on the 2003 GT stock and the Mach 1 calipers in the kit you bought? Are the Cobra calipers any different? These are super reasonable prices . . . might have to jump on that deal myself.

    DRAG RADIALS

    BTW, if you've got a 5-speed, hard launches with this kind of tire is a crap shoot. The recommended upgrades to prevent a trip into the wall courtesy of a broken axle are: -31 spline axles -31 spline diff -welded axle tubes -welded torque boxes -aluminum driveshaft I put a d/s loop on...

    DRAG RADIALS

    Again, the 28" diameter will hurt you unless you have enough gear that you need a larger diameter tire - like 4.30s or 4.56s. Look at the link and it will show you: >recommended wheel widths >width of tire on the ground with wheel in the middle of recommendations The choice is yours...

    Pre amp out put?

    BTW, I found the source output impedance on both units at Pioneer's website. Click here for the info on the 9800 - this deck has a FAR better preamp section than does the 6800: Pioneer 9800 Specs

    Pre amp out put?

    Lots of bad info in this thread. First and foremost, high voltage preamplifiers are always beneficial over lower voltage ones for numerous reasons: 1. Higher output voltage from your source means that you can turn the gain control down on your amplifier, thereby reducing floor noise - the...

    DRAG RADIALS

    According to BF Goodrich's website, the 275/60/15 is 28 inches in diameter. That's gonna really hurt you, unless you need the extra diameter because you're bouncing off the rev limiter at the traps. I like the thought of a 15" drag radial versus the 275/40/17 drag radial that most folks...

    What does it take to have a higher revving motor?

    OK, so now that we've given him all the reasons that he shouldn't do what he wants to know how to do, does anyone actually know how to get the 4.6 to rev? I too would be curious. NASCAR employs good ol' american V8s as well . . . and they make power up to 8k or so. This may be my single...

    Replacing ECU?

    How do you know you have a short in your ECU? That seems highly unlikely.

    What FMIC?

    Got it . . . makes sense. I've got a few ideas, where there's a will, there's a way. This looks like an extremely well thought out kit btw . . . http://www.paxtonauto.com/coolers.html Anyone have one?

    What FMIC?

    OK, I'm ready to add an intercooler. I can't do the Vortech aftercooler, as I can't relocate my battery. I was looking at the kit ProCharger offers - looks like it would be a fairly simple install. I do NOT want to cut the crash bumper, so it's gotta' go between that and the radiator...

    Running slicks...

    Very little sidewall deflection on 17" DRs . . . sure wish someone would have told me that before I blew mine up . . .
