must go faster

[Hiflyer746]

Hey Guys,
New here my names Tim. I bought an 03 GT 5 spd. First off anything I need to know or should know about my drivetrain in particular? Next. . . simple it needs to go faster. Its not a DD so mileage isn't a worry really. I've spent most of my time on powerstrokes so its been a while for me and gassers. So let the information flow!
Thanks.
Tim

As far as drivetrain, some of the earlier 3650 transmissions (like you have) especially <03 have problems with the synchros and eventually gears. Stock clutch should hold 500hp or so depending on current mileage. So you'll want to upgrade trans/clutch eventually... If you are focused on drag racing and the launch, at a minimum get some 31 spline axles and 31 spline diff, weld the axle tubes, and torque boxes.

Now I have a question for you, how fast do you wanna go?? With a power adder (nitrous, blower, or turbo) high to mid 11's will be possible on the stock block, any lower and that and you'll want a built shortblock block (rods/pistons/crank), and maybe heads/cams.

www.Modularpowerhouse.com has some affordable/complete supercharger packages.
