my plans are: since i'm getting the 07 GT500 , i will keep this car N/A.Jackie Chan said:what are your plans?
i know , i really do wanna get a catback.All i got now is weld-ins , just like you.i'm ordering the o/r h pipe now , and i will leave the catback for a later stepjasonh_86 said:You may wanna get a catback just to free it up a little more or if you wanna get traction you can get some DR's, get your 60ft times down some
Mustanggt108 said:Sorry for the frequent question.I just want to get people's opinion on this.
My mods so far are:
CAI
3.73 gears
U/D pulleys
Steeda shifter
70mm TB+Plenum
o/r H pipe is on the way along with Xcal2.
so what should i get next , other the LT headers ,Nos and FI (want to stay N/A) ??

Sub-frame connectors(weld in kind)
Upper control arms
Lower control arms
It's probably best if you drive this car on the street, and still intend on racing it at the track to get some adjustable upper control arms so you can adjust your pinion angle. Worry about other suspension stuff, like springs, shocks, and struts once you get more power. If you want more power, headers will give you a bit more, but other than that, you really don't have many more bolt-ons to add for power. You would have to either do internal motor work, or add a power adder, like nitrous or a supercharger.
Well, street racing/road racing is one setup, and drag racing is another. You must remember that street racing suspension will help you in turns and corners, but will not do much for traction off launch. I would say look into getting a set of solid lower control arms, like the ones from Maximum motorsports. As for upper control arms, there is a kit that features a single solid piece for both upper control arms that is great for racing, but I'm not sure how much that costs or where to get it. In terms of sub-frame connectors, I would go full-length weld in type. Accept nothing less.Mustanggt108 said:suspension work might be good at this stage.I agree
The car will probably never see the track.And will probably never be launched at high RPM's.just street racing. So what suspension work should i do in my case
that would be called a torque armDark Knight GT said:As for upper control arms, there is a kit that features a single solid piece for both upper control arms that is great for racing
street racing 'turns' or *wink* *wink* private back road straight line racing?Mustanggt108 said:just street racing. So what suspension work should i do in my case
nope.Just straight line private racing. no turns.So will i still need suspension work for straight line races withought hard launches??tomustang said:street racing 'turns' or *wink* *wink* private back road straight line racing?
without losing total driveability, running the stock suspension is good enough, you can switch out for drag springs, but dont choose any UCA's for dragging cause you'll feel the rear feel like is going apart.Mustanggt108 said:nope.Just straight line private racing. no turns.So will i still need suspension work for straight line races withought hard launches??
if yes..what besides SFC's?
