    quick question about SVE cobra brake kit

    I am definately glad to hear that it is a big upgrade from stock because I drove the 2012 charger srt8 and 2012 camaro SS at the auto show and they had great stopping power and the pedal felt great. They have 4 piston brakes at each corner though. If the cobra brakes feel close to the stopping...

    quick question about SVE cobra brake kit

    Thanks for the info. My friend who is a mechanic at Mossy Nissan is going to help me so I dont screw up and kill myself. I have most of the same mods as you and was curious if you have any track times.

    4.10 gears installed... No traction?

    Is there a big difference in feeling between 4.10s and 3.73s? Before i got the gears everyone was telling me to get 4.10s so I got them. Now it seems like they are a little too much. Maybe if my car was stock then there wouldnt be an issue with traction, but damn they make the tires spin. They...

    4.10 gears installed... No traction?

    lighten up on the pedal? That hardly seems like much fun. I may just step down to 3.73 gears. The guy at the shop guaranteed i would like his 4.10s or he would install my 3.73s for free. What would traction be like with the 3.73 gears rather than the 4.10s. Honestly because of all the wheel...

    4.10 gears installed... No traction?

    I finally broke in my gears and decided to have some fun with them. I now cant get traction in 1st gear. I feather the throttle and then floor it around 3000 rpms and the tires just spin til redline. My car has full bolt ons and cams, 245 nitto 555s, j&m lca, tokico hp shocks, vogtland springs...

    what is a Mustang GT's redline?

    Out of curiosity, what is the normal redline for a 2000 mustang gt with manual transmission. How high can you guys rev it before the engine cuts out when flooring it. Obviously we shift before this happens, but at what rpm's do your cars cut out? Mine seems high at 6500 rpm when the redline is...

    99-04 Mustang | Good First Car?

    To the OP. Very simply put... No a Mustang GT should not be your first car. Even if you feel you are responsible, friends make friends do dumb things. When i bought my Mustang last year at 20 I was only a decent driver (coming out of a ranger). My friend who helped me buy the car took me up to...

    how to replace rear wheel bearings

    This sounds like it should be done at the same time i am getting my gears installed. The mechanic said i would probably need new bearings too. Would these bearings include the wheel bearings?

    Bama Tunes

    I just recently purchased the same tuner from AM with BAMA free tunes for life. I was skeptical at first about the tuner and thought that it would be a waste of money, but it actually is pretty legit. I also wanted the tuner because i am going to put in gears and i wanted to fix the speedo. The...

    how to replace rear wheel bearings

    I have a 2000 GT and I keep hearing a wierd sound coming from the rear of the car when i am cruising. The best way i can describe the sound is that it sounds like a helicopter hovering. i believe it is the wheel bearings but i havent heard of them going out on the rear of a mustang before. How...

    Who is BAMA tuning?

    I am going to get gears installed and thought about getting a tuner rather than a speedometer recalibration tool so my speedo wont be off. Anyway I was on AM and found the SCT tuner and the tunes come from a company called BAMA and they offer free tunes for life. So what is the deal with this...

    What is a reasonable cost to get gears installed?

    I finally saved some money so now I am looking at getting my gears installed. I spoke with a local shop who quoted me $650 to install the gears. The shop is also going to replace the bearings and clutch packs at the same time. The only parts I am providing are my 4.10 ring and pinon. Is this...
