    Side-exit exhuast ideas?

    You could run it behind the rear wheels, but your exhaust would need to have some pretty big bends in it to clear the rear axle. I went with the more traditional approach:

    1/8th mile ET

    I ran an 8.84 but I can't recall the MPH.

    Diablo Tune and JLT

    I agree completely, that is why I took the car to Delk Performance, a CMR dealer, and put the car on the dyno for tuning. We used a wideband meter on all the pulls and the tune in the car now is not the out of the box Diablo performance tune, rather it is a custom tune for my specific...

    Diablo Tune and JLT

    Took the car to Delk today to put it up on the dyno and see what the underdrive pullies, JLT intake and tuning would get me. Before making any mods, we flashed the CPU back to stock to get a good baseline. In this tune it made 260hp@5250/280@4250TQ, HP was right in line with the baseline we...

    Diablo uses my 05 for a test car for the PREDATOR

    If you are worried about the warranty at all, then you should not be modding the car. It's as simple as that. I had less than 1000 miles on both my '03 Mach 1 and '05 GT before I started modding. I chose to do so because I can afford to take the chance. Not everyone is in that position...

    Painted Blackout (between taillights) Completed

    We must be on the same wavelength with mods, as I had thought of doing the very same thing to mine. I'm not sure if I would have gone with a full gloss, though. I think I would use a semi-gloss similar to what is used on the 03/04 Mach 1 spoilers. I have also been talking to a local...

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    I miss the days when the debate was Mustang vs. Camaro/Firebird. Now all the GM guys have to brag about is a Grand Prix on steriods. :rolleyes:

    18's or 20's?

    You could get some 19's as a compromise. :D Seriously, I had the same question, but I think I will stick with the 18's. If you go with a 20", I think it will look okay, but you will give up ride quality with a smaller sidewall on the tires. I think I have decided on 18x9's in the front and...

    For the record, the correct backspace on an 18 x 10 inch wheel for the '05 is 7 inches.

    What is the best way to launch an Auto Trans

    Never drive through the waterbox with a street tire. It does nothing for you. In fact, you will most likely have a worse '60ft time due to the water trapped in the tread dripping onto the track. I have found my best times on street radials come from driving around the water and "dry" burning...

    Okay, all that being said, what would the correct backspace be for a 9-inch wheel in the front and a 10-inch wheel in the rear?
