Cause I wanna make sure that the "mental" practice I've been doing is up to par, then I wanna go and destroy a tranny with 150+ HP

I don't know how long it'll be, but I'll be selling my T5 with the triax as soon as I get the T56.

I take it you're planning on grenading the stock tranny for fun?

If I got a Turbo 4 though...i'd be gone already

T56...so you're saving $2000?

i dunno what the name of the place is called, but its over here in lake mary...by the seminole towne center mall. they had quite a few cars, but 1 stang...and it already had been gutted. they had acouple lsc's...but most were tore to hell. i gotta find a good junkyard around here.

and no the turbo's werent already removed...i asked the guy and he said there were probably 2 cars with turbo's on the lot (and i looked at one of them). turbo looked like it would have problems pushing more htan 1lb. of boost...small ass thing. wheres a good junk yard around here? i was all happy when i got enough money for the incon kit...and almost cried when i heard that they were on backorder for like 2 years (no way i can wait for that).

Closer to $3100 after things like the bellhousing, clutch, and driveshaft. And yes. That's probably what I'll use the money from all of my skydiving gear for. If I can get a buyer, that'll be $4000 to put in the car. A bullet proof six-speed sounds like a good way to blow most of it.

Yeah, that's me. Funny because I don't even have a wing. I just have big ricer wing envy . I just saw that pic last night in a thread in the 4.6 forum. Made me laugh pretty hard.

I don't think they're dead yet, but I don't think they're making the mustang kit anymore. I've heard some bad things about their business practices anyways. I've been eyeing the TDC set-up. Looks good, but I'd really like the TT set-up as opposed to the single.

I heard about them not making the kit soon from the Power Adder section, but I read in the 5.0 Section that they are out of business.

Hell, swap in the entire motor. I saw an F250 once with an inline 6 CAT motor swapped in. He had to put a three inch body lift on just to get the valve cover to fit under the hood

Most people like to rev above 3000 rpm

Heard about a CAT direct swap for some Chevy truck. Did it cause the motor was laying around on the farm and it fit up and everything.

Hey Erich, I got a favor to ask you. Sometime I'd like to get together and get you to take some pics of the GTS. Some actually decent pics (I'll even wash her ) for hillie's GTS website. And if you still have those autocross pics, I'll send them too. Basically, I just want som show and shine, a couple autox, and probably a good smoke show.

Oh BTW, what's up with always taking off 5 minutes before I show up? You don't like me anymore?

Yeah, I dunno. I guess I'll find out, though. Still got a few years to decide (thank you BCC!)
