Glad you like them, but that short 1st gear would annoy the hell out of me. I sometimes get tired of the 4.10's short 1st gear and wish i'd went with 3.73's. Guess I'm getting old!

Damn dude, that npi has come a long way! I've kinda taken a hiatus from modding the stang, in order to get some rifles built. Here in the next 2-3 months its back to the stang for a while. I absolutely love your car and am jealous of it.

Glad you like your 4.30s! My 4.10s suck so far, hopefully they will be better once the whine is gone

Nice run.
Well i went out tonight,i was trapping at 57000 to 5800 rpm in fourth,depending how accurate Ford tachs are?!?....,so i definitely have room for more gear,and 4.30's will do the trick.So next season i gonna make the move.

Wasn't one of my better nights,the air was nice,and crisp,but the track wasn't sticky enough,and was getting wet by the dew later threw the night.
I usually run 13.1's at 106,and the odd 107 out of my yahoo with 1.77 sixties,and the odd 1.8 sixties,but last night i was hitting 13.3's,and one 13.2 with 101 mph,and one 104 mph with 1.9 to 2.0 sixties.Ever since i did the Bullitt intake swap,and added Steeda underdrive pulleys my mph has dropped,and my GT seems to struggle on getting back to 13.1's.I think i need to get a re tune even though i had it re tuned afterwards.She seems to be running really stinky rich,and burning fuel a little more all of a sudden then it did before.She has been re tuned,but something doesn't seem to be right.I use to race almost every friday night,but the last few years i haven't raced much,once last year,and once this year,and both times i ended up with the same result,it's very discouraging really when i added the ported Bullitt intake to go with my cams,plus added Steeda underdrive pulleys,and she seems to struggle to keep up with the less modded set up before hand LOL!
With my set up she should be dipping into the 12's!
This is it for me this year,i really don't have the funds to spend on a dyno right now,so maybe next year i will focus on getting my GT running prime,right were she should be,and plus with some 4.30's it can maybe happen once,and for all.

whats your complete mod list? my best so far has only been 13.1 w/1.86 60'.with terrible weather, it was almost 90*, high humidity, and a DA over 2k feet, my best trap has been 108.00, i know how you feel, my car should have went like high 12's but it didnt happen, i will be going back soon with the 4.30's, and i just bought spherical bushings for the upper control arms, my rear was binding realy bad ever since i put the upr upper and lowers on, so im hoping it will launch better now, my goal at the track this time is 12.80's or better!
