    Beef up the rear...need advice.

    Definitely a daily driver with ...say 10 serious track events per year. Gotta drive it to and from the track back to the house. Also these are full hoosier slicks, not drag radials or dot slicks. Thanks

    Should I get a 75mm BBK TB for $60

    I agree with GB. Even at $60 I feel you are wasting your money at this point. Now if you were FI then I would get it in a heartbeat. I picked up 11 solid RWHP from my accufab unit on my blown application, but even at that I had to retune and that costed me out my ass. You will love gears ten...

    Most HP made on factory bottom end?

    Ok guys, We all know that once you go over 400 rwhp that the factory rods and pistons in the 4.6 is possibly on borrowed time. Post up some of your high hp numbers and how long you have been going on your factory bottom end. Im at 419 right now and want a few more. I have been told that with...

    Power steering rack seal leak

    Guys, I was having some work on the Saleen yesterday and while it was up on the lift a guy came got me and told me to look. I knew I had to add some power steering fluid a few weeks ago, but didnt think much of it at that time. Around where the rubber boot is on the drivers side, there is a...

    Adjusting tune for added boost?

    Do you have access to a wide band? That is really the only way to know. You could just do the pipe and pay your tuner $50 or so to just pull the car with the sniffer in the tail pipe to let you know.

    Can my 96 beat a 05??

    This is quite funny I came across this thread as we were at the track last week and looked back on my video taped footage to verify. There was a 97 GT (unknown mods if any) running consistant 15.0s and several stock 07 GTs running 13.90s- 13.50s from memory. Gears will not help you in...

    Which line lock?

    Thats right, since you have a 98 model. It wont be too aweful bad, just more time consuming than the plug and play 99-04 kit.

    You would be nuts to go back with a factory unit period ...especially for $900. Dear God, that has to include labor or something :shrug: Look at my sig pic and see just how the tubular makes it sit. Rides great and lost a ton of weight off the nose. If you are going to consider $900 then...

    Which line lock?

    I wish the SLP kits would come down a bit in price. They are going for about $155 then you got to add $10 or so for shipping. I definitely need this kit as I cant do a proper burnout for **** with my 5 speed. This is the best kit on the market though. It comes with the correct adapter...
