    TKO or T5Z?

    I had my T5 modded to Z specs with a 2.95 gear set. I love it and since I will never have more than 300 hP at the rear wheels I think it will be strong enough. It cost me less than $1,200 installed.

    REAR GEAR ?

    It may be a .62 5th but yes it did all of that. It was pretty cheap compared to a 6 speed or the G-Force .59 gears. With my KC clutch I am in heaven. :SNSign:

    Seat Identification

    My 87 is Titanium grey and has the pull out leg bolsters which I never use and they just get real dirty.

    REAR GEAR ?

    I have a heavy ragtop so I went with 3.73 with my standard diameter tire (245/45-16) and I did not like the rpm's I was running on the freeway which was like 3,000 to keep up with traffic. Got my T5 modded with a 2.95 gear set and love the combo now. Lowered Freeway rpms by almost 800. I love...

    Fiberglass Hoods vs. Metal Hoods

    The reason why my hood poped open on the freeway is because it became misalligned after about a month of mechanics and myself openeing it up and some of us slosing it too hard. The hood was caught by the safety and no damage was done exept it was really misalligned after the incident! After...

    Brake Upgrade

    No it dont pull at all just locks and smokes! Thinking more rear brake might help. Thanks for the MM update. I talked to them about this and they said the real problem is rear drum brakes as they advise against this mod without going to rear disk brakes.

    $145 good for Tranny flush? {fluid}

    I think they upgraded to Dexron III now days. How do you like your clutch? Just put in a KC and I love mine cause it shifts so much smoother than the stocker. I put on 110,000 miles on the stock one but its action was so heavy even with my Brothers Quadrant and HD cable kit. Now it feels...

    Brake Upgrade

    I had previously put in 73mm calipers up front with slotted rotors, SS brake caliper sleeves, Hawk brake pads and shoes, SS brake lines front and back, 93 Cobra MC with an adapter kit for my 87. I did not upgrade my booster as it was a new unit and I was not sure it was needed and it was not...

    $145 good for Tranny flush? {fluid}

    All you need is the fluid and time nothing else. That is why the dealer price is just way to high! Need about three quarts. Redline synthetic 1MTLQ wil cost you about $8 per quart. I think Ford says to use dexron III atf. Valvoline DEXRON® III/MERCON® MaxLife ATF Automatic Transmission...

    225/60/15 or 225/50/15

    If you are going to go with 16" you can go with Cobra R's (Repros) and go up to 245/45 and fit quite well. I think I would really consider 17" if I had to do it over again although I am real happy with me setup. You will need a minimum of 8" as my old Ponys were 7" and the bigger tire would...

    timing gears or timing chain?

    I woud go with a nice double roller chain unless racing is full time. Gears are very noisey.

    Timing?

    14* should not be a problem if you are using premium gas. However YMMV so be careful!

    Brake Upgrade

    Anyone have part numbers for the rear brake cylinders from either Ford or another supplier. I can only find the stock 3/4" bore diameter listed. It seems it is used for both the 9" and 10" rear drums.

    King Cobra Clutch Does not fit!!!!!!!

    My KC has only 500 miles on it along with my rebuilt and regeared tranny but the clutch action is silky smooth and very light compared to my stock GT clutch.
