    Going to the dyno tonight

    I was going to say, mods to the GT, new motor in the GT, sell the GT for a Cobra...mods to the Cobra. Must be nice having money. :D

    First mod to trans (auto)?

    A transmission cooler is also a great add-on to an auto transmission.

    96-98 guys beware

    To AntiRice98: What type of cams did you install and I'm assuming you've done the PI swap. Just that your claims of up to 50 rwhp are a little inflated. Cams are hotly debated here and it's a well known fact that if you install them that you should get a tune (stage 1's) or you most...

    315s ?

    You guys who can slap them on a 96-98 GT are lucky. There is no way 315's would clear my Bassani exhaust. I've got 255/40s on a 17x9 rim with just about an inch clearance right now. I doubt if a 10.5" wheel would fit on mine.

    Widest tire up front?

    Does anybody have pics of a 96-98 body style with 275/40/17 on a 17x9 wheel on the front? Do they stick outside the fenderwell?

    Widest tire up front?

    I've been researching the same thing myself since I need new tires soon. I want to go 275/40/17s all around too. As far as I gather, a lot of guys do run 275/40s up front and you would not want to go any bigger since the car would be driving you.. There should be no rubbing unless you are...

    If you're upgrading your front GT brakes to Cobra brakes...

    ...is it worth it to do the rears also? I eventually want to upgrade my front brakes with the Cobra brake kit (w/ stainless steel lines) and I'm debating whether to replace the backs also. The back rotors have been turned once, and there is plenty of pad left. Don't really care about caliper...

    K&N FIPK compared to other CAI's

    Granted...I wish I had forced induction. Hell... I wish I had a Cobra!:(

    Radiators, Fluidyne vs. 03 Cobra

    Funny you should ask as I just installed an '03 Cobra radiator in my '98 GT whose radiator was starting to leak bad. The Cobra radiator is all-aluminum, slightly thicker, 3 core and cost me $220.00 bucks shipped to my door. Installation was a breeze and my stock fan fit w/ no problems. While...

    Anybody?...don't fail me now :SNSign:

    Front tire size dilemma

    Okay I'm going to need tires very soon. I've got 255/40's on 17x9 Cobra R's on every corner. For the new set, I'm definately going 275/40 on the rears. No way in heck am I going to get a different rim size so my question is: Do I go with 245/45's on the front? I heard that these tires...

    98 auto with 4.10

    You'll need a speedcal for your '98 since the speedometer is mechanically linked, not electronically linked. Can only speak for the Dallas Mustang speedcal since it's the one I have. It conveniately sits underneath my shifter bezel and you adjust using a series of DIP switches. A very nice...

    Tire Fit

    A word of caution -- try sticking to a manufacturers recommended wheels sizes. Not all tire sizes are the same. Example, a Nitto 285/40 probably has a smaller width than let's say a Goodyear 285/40.

    How long do your tires generally last you?

    I'm asking this because I've got 14 000 on my present tires and the fronts need to be replaced. I rotate them about every 5000 miles, keep pressure at 30psi, did an alignment about 15000 miles ago (steering wheel is still pretty straight) and don't to virtually any burnouts :rolleyes: The...

    HELP! Bassani catted X-pipe hitting frame. muffler shop won't touch it

    Excuse my California emissions ignorance, but even a CATTED x-pipe doesn't pass emmissions testing? isn't Bassani headquarters in California? I can understand an off-road... Suggestions? Maybe try a performance shop and not the local muffler chain. Also, commute to Arizona or Nevada...

    Will my tire size be ok?

    What rear wheel size are you going to go to? Is there that big a difference in price between your rears and the 245's up front? I ask this because you will lose your ability to rotate and in the long run you will save no money at all.
