Honestly if your going to run a 275 leave it if you want to go bigger you don't have a choice imo. I have a 315/60/15 on a 12"wheel and had to have the wheel wells stretched too.
I wanna go 275-285 but i was curious with going coilover can i still fit a 275? Some guys can and some cant
The coil overs mount inboard of the frame rails, you certianly can put coil overs on and remove the factory springs, done right it costs some money and honestly we have had a car go 1.32 60ft with stock rear springs and adjustable shocks. If you were to do coil overs look at Wolfe or team z for the crossmember kit and shocks.
Need some help you guys income check is on the works and parts of my money im gonna get injectors now what size you all think i should get based on my motor im think 44 lb so when i go turbo i will still be able to use them or should i bump up higher to 55?
right now the car dynoed to the crank 410 but i plan on turboing it as well im doing the calculations on rc engineering and for 410 bhp im looking at 33 lb/hr injector. but since im planning on going to about 650 horsepower i should probably size for that bhp correct which would be by their calculations 62 lbs/hr. but that is 650 bhp should i go off of that or off of whp?
im looking at some trickflow 44lb/hr which would be for n/a applications good til 563 hp but go and put it into a turbo engine and it is only effective to about 469bhp
Use BHP for all injector size calculations. If you're planning on 650rwhp, you're probably going to want injectors in the 75lb/hr range @ 80% duty cycle.
What would 650whp be at bhp? About 730? And thanks for the help on this its just some formulas are good just would rather get some reassurance of things
More like 750ish. With a manual transmission, I typically figure about 13% drivetrain loss. That may even be a bit low.
I was thinking about 15% but i was just talking with rick at rnh and he bumped me up to 60's which should be plenty i think i mean hope lol
Got a few things done to the car in the past week but havent had time to upload photos so here are some pics of some things i did.
Got my torque boxes welded i dont have more pics for i sound deadened everything right afterwards
Got my sound deadener in this is just the first layer another layer of foam based insulation goes down but i forgot to take a pic before i put the carpet back in.This stuff is up there woth dynamat but half the cost, www.raamaudio.com

Another view of the raam mat but dont tell me i missed a spot i just havent gotten to it yet i was getting to the point where i could carpet back in and get it to start forming to the car again.
I also was ble to get both door windows and 1/4 windows installed as well has anyone had a hard time with the windows fully seating in their new window run channel weather stripping?

So I purchased some exhaust pieces from a fellow member here on stangnet and just wanted to show him i got them put on the car. I got a set of stepped headers and x pipe from 90lxcoupe.
they were definitely tight to put the collector on like you said but a little never seez and they fit right on in there.
I also put the rear spoiler bumper and tailights back on the car i was going to wait to put that stuff on so i dont mess it up but i couldnt wait much longer.
as soon as my seat belts come in i can finish most of the interior minus the headliner.

Oh trust me i did it in my truck in the door and rear panel where the windows are ... it made the sound system amazing
Got my interior back in in the rear, I know I am getting close to the end because im starting to run out of parts in my basement haha, only pic i didnt take was with the rear seats in.
It needs some clean up but i will do that before i go any further i think

Alfight so i went into overdrive on this project the interior is now 85% done just need the door panels in and headliner and i can cross that off the list. Now onto pics
