    switching from manual to auto

    It all depends on what the car is going to be used for.

    Whats it take to get in the 10s?

    It's not like it used to be. Turbo system prices are right there with Supercharger prices now a days.

    Whats it take to get in the 10s?

    Yes, but a built shortblock lends you more time....especially if you're just racing for giggles. I say go turbo. There's a few kits out there that are pretty easy to install yourself if you can read and have a few tools. Ride in a S/C'd S197, then a T/C'd S197 and you'll pick turbo for...

    Whats it take to get in the 10s?

    Thump's hit it on the head. You can get into the 10's, but on borrowed time. Your tune and driving habits will dictate the longevity.

    Forged internals

    I've never dealt with them personally, but I've heard mixed reviews. I know guys that have had worked 3v heads from them. Some were w/o issue while other's had issues. The end result was the Livernois stepped up appropriately and took care of things. As far as long blocks...I've heard some...

    Forged internals

    Boss 330 (Al Papitto) is bar none top notch! The only 2 other shops I would consider if Al didn't exist would be VT or MP. Al has built my 3 valve motor and so far I've been at 650rwhp on 93 octane and 800rwhp on C16 race fuel. The limiting factor right now is the injectors (60#). Al is a...

    Avoid the Diablosport for the 05 +

    This is funny. You have something quirky with your tune. You'd could get the same issue with SCT. As well, I don't know a whole lot of people with a BBK CAI...or anyone for that matter. That CAI could (NOTICE I said Could) flow like crap and be making the MAF go haywire. Who knows without...

    83# injectors are finally here!

    My best so far is 9.73@142. It is a 3V and the stock computer, exhaust manifolds, PCM, intake, and is full trim interior. Actually, I was on my way to a low 9 sec. pass and managed to get some tranny fluid on the tires and got a bit squirrely. I was headed to the one wall @ 135 mph and kept...

    83# injectors are finally here!

    :cool: It'll depend on 3 things....how much the turbo will produce, how much boost the plastic stock intake will take and/or how long it'll take to tap out the 83#r's.:) I'm at 771rwhp @ 26psi and the only hinderance from making more power is the injectors. The stock intake hasn't shown any...

    83# injectors are finally here!

    Just what I've been waiting for. 83# injectors to turn up the wick! Performance Fuel Systems will be rolling them out soon, but not soon enough! I don't know a whole bunch about injectors, but as long as they provide more fuel, I'm good to go. They are High Impedence 83# that was said to flow...

    switching to manual

    For giggles, I have a complete TKO 600 setup for sale. It is hardly used-about 14 passes down the track, no powershifting. From flywheel to differential yoke. I'm going to a C4. Too much power for a stick! Promotion Powertrain prepped TKO600-cryoed, polished, blueprinted New in box-McLeod...

    slicks and skinnies...???

    If you can find a set of Weld XP's, they'll fit. The only problem is that they don't make them anymore.

    Steeda HD motor mounts

    Tis correct. BMR will also be coming out with some A arms before long. There's another 10lbs off the front!

    Steeda HD motor mounts

    I have a set of those motor mounts for sale on ebay. They work fine. I had to take them off b/c I changed out the K member which has motor mounts integrated into it. http://motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZ169stang

    Call JPC Racing. He has a direct bolt on alum. driveshaft for the 05.

    Pics of my new Turbo motor built by Boss 330 Racing

    I managed to pull the carrier bearing in the center of the 2 pc. driveshaft off of the body when I launched on 28" ET Drags and no swaybars. This caused the driveshaft to lengthen as it got straighter....thus shoving everthing forward.

    Let's talk longtubes...

    I had the Stainless Works 1 3/4" longtube headers. They do have a 3" collector, but they come with adapters to go to 2.5". Really nice quality. I picked up 22rwhp/22rwtq with mine and would be great for a supercharger application. I've taken mine off and sold them due to going to a turbo setup.

    Problem with filling up tank

    There is a vent line gas tank vent line that is directly beneath the spare tire well. It runs forward and up above the axle then turns downward (to prevent water getting in). I've found mine leaning against the exhaust pipe and it was melted closed-creating a vacuum.

    Subframe connectors for S197's?

    The only way you'll twist up this car is if you remove the swaybars. When and if you do, the first thing to go will be the driveshaft. It doesn't like the geometry when it's all twisted up. Been there. Without the swaybars, you'll definately need BMR's anti-roll bar to run straight. I...
