    I know ford makes the standard rebuild kit and a kit with carbon discs. other than that, I don't think there are any options.

    Finally getting gears put in! 3 Quick questions...

    i'm a little nervous about doing gears myself...i'd hate to have screwed something up for the sake of $200. its not a daily driver. weekends and strip only. I might put 3-4000 miles on it this year, so I want to gear it to maximize strip performance, and i'm starting to lean towards 4.10's...

    Finally getting gears put in! 3 Quick questions...

    ok bobby, I'll cross the c-clip eliminators off the list for now unless someone has a really good reason for me to get them out of the way now. Any other opinions on #1 and #2?

    Finally getting gears put in! 3 Quick questions...

    I'm finally going to get gears done in my mustang. As of right now, I'm planning 3.73's but I have to do a little more math to make sure its my best bet. while the gears are getting done, i'll have the t-lock rebuilt and new seals, bearings, etc. done. 1. Is Pro 5.0 still the only company...

    will two 12" subs fit in my trunk aside from the mach 460 box?

    the easiest way to get just about anything in newer mustangs (subwoofer wise is to do a downfiring box. it can be low profile and there is no chance of damaging the subs.

    I need a pointed direction for my rebuild

    how will you buy a shortblock with a decent amount of power? don't decide what to do til you have the car. you need to know the condition of the motor to make proper decisions on mods, imo. if you get a stang with a strong motor, i would recommend thumper heads, tmoss lower, maybe an ecam...

    Is it worth stepping up to a 28" tall tire?

    shorty1993 - looks are important, but it seems we prefer a different style. i had the car dropped, and hated it. 17's aren't gonna hook nearly as well, and personally, 28x11.50 et streets on draglites will look pretty sweet. timmy - blower isn't happening for a while. if i do end up...

    Is it worth stepping up to a 28" tall tire?

    This winter, I am hoping to get new gears in my 8.8 and I can't decide on tire size. If i stick with a 26" tall tire (most likey 275/50 15 M/T dr's) I will go with a 4.10 rear gear. If I go 28" (most likely 275/60/15 M/T dr's) I will go with a 4.30 rear gear. The problem comes with...

    Roll bar and NHRA question

    I have been thinking about getting a 6 point roll bar for my notchback and I have a question about the harness bar behind the seat. I am pretty tall and leg space is at a premium in these cars, so what I wanted to do is cut out the bar that comes welded in and modify it so my seat can go...

    Torn between TFS Track heat H/C/I or PTK Street Dominator

    there is always the chance of malfunction, and turbos (like any power adder) can be tempermental. is this your only car? do you have access to another in an emergency when you have an issue? that kind of boost should be fine on the motor, but to be safe run a compression test and maybe even...

    what to do with $500..

    its not just the cam that's hurting a stock 5.0 on the top end. the stock intake and heads don't breathe all that well on the top end. as for what to do, gears are a great recommendation, but to offer up something completely different, how about a tmoss ported lower and a pair of thumper's...

    Gear?

    what rpm are you at when crossing the line in 4th? a t-5 and 4.10 equipped stang tops out 4th at around 115, so i have to guess that you are pretty low in 4th.

    stock axles

    don't forget you will need a new diff also. can't just throw in the 31 spline axles. so figure, axles, 31 spline t-lock and c-clip eliminators.

    stock axles

    its not the power that's really gonna kill them, its the traction. what are you doing for tires and suspension? shop around, a set of 31 spline axles and a rebuilt, used 31 spline t-lock won't be very expensive.
