[68dustin]

ok i just put a paxton on my car and now i have two weak links.... which one should i upgrade first? disc brakes in the front or 9" with 3:70's in the rear. my rear end right now is a ticking 8" time bomb with new 4:11 gears and a posi unit. I really dont want to break it since i have a 67 cougar that it will fit in. What should i buy guys???

brakes. Fix rear when you break it.

thats kinda the problem...i dont wanna break it.. it only has 1500 miles on it and i can use it in my cougar... think it will last?? just no hard sticky launches?

If you are launching hard enough to break the rear end, but you don't, you may be wishing you had the brakes up front.

+1 for brakes.

Safety safety safety! can't go with out the whoa!!

safety always comes first, do the disc conversion now. unless your engine is making more than 400hp(375 with slicks) AND you are driving like john force in his company car, you are not going the break the rear end anytime soon.

the car should be in the 400 range with 7 lbs of boost. Alright guys your gonna make me do the responsible thing...lol.... usually i just strap in and hold on.... and stay away from water

While driving up and down from Big Bear Lake yesterday, I noticed all the bent and torn guard rails on the winding MOUNTAIN road. I bet those guys wished they had better brakes.

Your car is pretty sweet. You should make a vid. Is the supercharger off of a 5.0? Where did you get the radiator?

 

[68dustin]

the supercharger is a paxton novi 1200 made for old school mustangs with a blow thru carb i will get some vid of the track this year for sure.

...or better driving skills. You should see all the bent rails, skid marks and stains on Angeles Forest/Angeles Crest, and some of the dumb stuff people do up there every day.

PS I vote for the brake upgrade and a lighter throttle foot.
