Mod ideas

Just wondering what you guys think about this combo as far as a kick in the "seat of my pants" and value. I'm thinking JBA Shorties, 4.10 FRPP, and Steeda UDP. Will this put the smile on my face I've been lacking lately?

skip the JBA shorties, IMO. save for longtubes. gears and pulleys will put a on your face. i know it did for me.

+1 on ditching the shorties, I'ld use that money to get a CAI and tune....that combo will kick the seat of your pants so hard it will leave foot prints on your back teeth.

Thanks for the input. I've decided to go with the 4.10's now and do the LT instead of Shorties later this summer. Cheers!

If you go with shorties a dyno tune will be the only way to get what you want . Add your engine mods all at once so you only have to pay for one dyno session with tune. 4.10s require install cost . Both have hidden cost .

When breaking down Bang for the buck always look at the hidden cost involved .

Shorty headers = dyno tune
4.10s = install cost
UDP = IMO a UDP is a DIY job (unless you want to have it installed )

Other options I can think of that are DIY

aluminum drive shaft
LCAs along with LCA relocation brackets

LINK .hear are some LCA relocation brackets as a good example of what they look like

LCAs and LCA relocation brackets stang LCA and relocation bracket descussion link

I think that you would get launch benefit out of adjustable LCAs paired up with LCA relocation kit . adjustable LCAs will correct your pinion angle and the LCA relocation will improve your anti-squat properties .
IMO you will need LCAS and LCA relocation kit to take advantage of the 4.10 gears because the 4.10 gears put more demand on the anti-squat geometry of the rear end .

Thanks for the replies!

4.10's go in as soon as hail damage repair is complete in a couple of weeks. Found a shop locally that will install for $400. How big of a difference should I expect going from 3.55 to 4.10?

Decided to go w/ Kook's LT's instead of shorties, later in the summer.

it will be a noticeable difference. the car will accelerate quicker, assuming you still have traction.

i have 4.30s and love it.
