    MT ET Street Radials on steel rims???

    I'm tight on money and really need a set of DR's. I am looking at getting a set of 275/50/15 MT ET Street radials mounted on a 15x8 rim. I am wondering if I am able to mount those on a 15x8 steel rim? I will save up money for some Welds, but in the mean time, will a steel rim be ok to use?

    mods mods mods lol

    Suspension then power. Build-up the base so it can handle the power. I'd say go for the rims. The UDP's will give you some HP, but the rims you will notice and use every time you drive your car. It's the rims that sets your car apart from everyone else.

    K&N Typhoon intake...so hot it burns the hand

    Amazing, I was about to ask the exact same thing. I have a Predator too and was going to do the same thing. Except, we may have a problem...I think the IAT became part of the MAF in 01 (but I'm not positive). If it is in the MAF, it does us no good. Someone please answer this question!

    4.10's just installed, slight whine...

    I took the car out last night. It does whine exactly between 56-64 like I said. It buggs the hell out of me just because it is in the range where highway driving takes place. Oh well, I'm going to have them looked at to make sure everything is tight.

    K&N Typhoon intake...so hot it burns the hand

    It says it is made of aluminum, which it is, but it is pretty thin.

    K&N Typhoon intake...so hot it burns the hand

    It is exactly like the FIPK, except it has the metal tube between the throttle body and MAF. Here's a link to it: http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=69-3521TP

    Predator Performance Tune vs. Factory HP Tune

    OK, so if I max out the timing across the board, does me living up 5280ft above sea level affect anything? Do I have a greater risk of detonation (pinging) being up here or do I have less to worry about?

    Will a trac-loc for a '98 work in an '03

    Yes it will fit, but would strongly suggest you think about re-building it first or rebuilding your current t-lock. I think you can buy a t-lock rebuild kit for about $45. That would be better than going through the effort of swapping out the carriers and end up having that one fail on you. If...

    K&N Typhoon intake...so hot it burns the hand

    I got a K&N Typhoon intake from a buddy of mine about a month ago. I notice that after driving for a long time, the intake is so hot that if you touch it, it will literally burn your hand. My question is, is this heat hurting my HP more than the intake helping? In other words, I know I got a...

    4.10's just installed, slight whine...

    I just had my 4.10's installed last weeknd (BTW best mod ever!). I have driven it about 200 miles and have notice a slight whine under load from 56-64 mph. This is not a loud whine and probably wouldn't notice unless you know what you are listening for. Should I be concerned about this, or just...

    No 4.10 option on Predator?

    So, I got my 4.10's installed yesterday :D I took my Predator Tuner to change the gear ratio and amazingly there is no 4.10 option, only 4.09. There was the 3.55 and 3.73 option, but no 4.10. What gives? Did anyone else run into this? I figure it is not big deal, but I wanted to see if everyone...

    I want a 5 speed so bad :(

    I hear ya man. I hated my auto in my old v6 w/ the auto. I always wanted to put a 5-speed in, but since I knew I would get rid of it, I never did. I know Mustang Parts Specialties (now MPS Salvage http://www.mpsautosalvage.com) has auto to 5-speed swap kits and ebay is also a great resource. You...

    17x8 or 17x9 black bullits

    When you get them on, post some pics, I wanna see them. From the pics that I have seen of Black Bullitts on MG stangs, I think they look killer! I've decided to buy some Black Bullitts myself, except I am going 17x9's on all 4 corners. But that purchase is a year away. Nice choice!

    traction control

    Agreed! I hate it. It is so much easier to drive the Mustang through the snow w/o the TC on. It just gets in the way. If you really know how to drive a rear-wheel drive car in the car in snow, you use the gas and tire slippage to help steer the car. I have my TC turned off with my Predator, and...

    3.73's vs 4.10's

    Oh no, look what I've started, another 3.73 vs 4.10 argument. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either IMHO. I chose 4.10's because: 1) I am staying N/A, 2) I wanted the little extra kick that 4.10's give me due to the elevation that I'm at, 3) I hardly ever drive on the highway where the...
