    Less drone, GTA's or Stingers?

    I have GTAs and no drone. Hardly any louder than stock though - be aware of that before you make a decision.

    Clunk when letting out clutch!!

    This is not normal for a run of the mill rwd v8 car, I've had lots, never heard this before. Mine is not rear end or trans, has to be driveline slop. Also sounds common among Mustang owners. Why in the world do we have two-piece driveshafts, especially with it being so short? They have made...

    any one running the edelbrock e force s/c?

    I don't understand how Edlebrock can advertise that it makes all this hp at only 5 psi when in reality it's up into the 8-9 psi range at high rpm. That's almost twice the psi compared to what their ads make you think....

    1st automatic after 4 manuals-getting old

    I personally would go with the 3:73s. Given your description of the car is stock, age, etc. I have had experience with all sorts of gear ratios over my many years from the high 2:xxs to 4:56s in my younger days. I don't like to hear an engine buzz on the freeway on trips in 5th gear any more...

    Oil additives

    I respect ole Shelby for all that he did way back when (even had a Factory Five Cobra for years but that's another story), but I agree, he's hawking snake oil now. Sad.

    N/A or Blown?

    That's not going to be easy, even with a blower. They run very well right out of the box and are lighter! It's truly a world class car. It's not your fathers Corvette...

    Hurst Shifter Ball Discoloration.

    Walter - maybe you need to wash your hands more. (Just kidding!!) Seriously, maybe too many hours parked in the sun. The sun seems to cook anything in time - ruins paint, interior, etc.
