if you don't plan on getting real tires, there's no point in getting mods. I tried to stick with "good" tires with some basic bolt ons and it was like trying to drive the car on ice. Mickey Thompson ET Street R's @ 305/45/18 now and she finally sticks. it's like a different car.

i'm probably an outlier tbh- i actually never really loved the look of the S197's it was more of a slow burn for me- i had an 03 sonic blue terminator making 500 wheel and she was great- but after selling it I really missed having a fast car. i took another look at all muscle cars and couldn't...

yeah they're kooks (ceramic coated 1 & 7/8") they just sometimes come without being a perfect fitment- and mine were unfortunately one of them that don't fit just right and it was slightly touching/rubbing the steering shaft. every other area has (slight) clearance.

Turns out it's my steering shaft rubbing on the headers since they're not in perfect spec. smdh getting a thinner steering shaft at this point since it's a lot simpler than taking the headers off and sending back to kooks.

where do we get this tpms "wake up" tool exactly?

yah not sure on the wcf car was dynod before headers in about 60ish degree weather after headers was dynod in about 30 degree weather

makes sense- this is my before and after just the kooks headers + vmp heat exchanger (+ clutch) (mustang dyno) before: after:

when did you install them? recently? i think covid changed a lot in regards to supply and they make to order now which is probably why they have more fitment issues now than before (and massive lead-times- I waited about 8 weeks for mine) I'm not saying everyone has issues- but I know for a...

I will say as a heads up with Kooks long tubes- their fitment is shit. they're way too tight and I'm currently dealing with now having to replace my steering shaft with a thiner one cause its touching. Be prepared for the possibility of a bad fit.

12k miles here and done with car (for now) only oil changes and tires from here on out, so I plan on putting at least 10k/year on her going forward.

Same here lol

going for straight drag setup? those thin tires up front make me cry considering how well these cars can handle. i run 285 up front

Hey guys car has 12k miles and long tubes and McCloud 1200 clutch were just installed. I noticed the car now makes a grinding sound and you can feel it through the wheel whenever you turn hard at higher speeds. i looked all around and don't see any visible rubbing anywhere. I also just...

my first VMP heat exchanger was leaking from the welds, and was replaced for free of course- but something to look out for

(mustang dyno) basically full bolt ons- key is in the tune 100%. I'm pretty much maxed on fuel but the potential of these cars is pretty amazing. i'll probably end up grabbing a boost-a-pump and some ID1050 injectors and just be done with the car. all mods in sig
