Tremec. No point in having all those ponies if the trans gives up.

Probably making 300 to the wheels. Go with the trans and a fuel pump. The aeromotive kit is overkill IMO

aero set-up is pointless till your at like 450-500hp, I guess the tremec, I personally would go with a drag suspension and slicks.

Almost the exact same setup as me. Get the TKO. The stock fuel system is fine for your power levels. Your stock fuel rails are going to be the bottleneck if it was the case so for a cheap upgrade, get the sn95 5.0 fuel rails. Thats if you haven't replaced the fuel pump already

Capri was prolly thinking the same thing as me... What kind of pole do I put in my house for women to dance on...
