    piston to wall issues like termi?

    with the 07-09 gt500, did ford fix the problem with tiny PTW clearance like the terminators had? I mean how you have to be extremely careful making a high speed pull into fifth gear, sometimes causing terminator pistons to swell up and contact the cylinder wall? Just wondering if this is an...

    ported eaton vs 2.6h

    aside from the obvious 50-100hp difference in power capability between a ported stocker and the kb blower, is there a safety difference in the two units? what im trying to ask is, does the kb also run cooler thereby easing some of the stress and heat soak issues suffered with a hard-pushed...

    transmission strength???

    is the t56 a weak point in these cars? I sold my gt500 and bought a vette recently, then sold the vette last week. I just like the mustang better. Always dreamed of a termi, so now i've been wrestling in my heart between another 07-09 gt500 and a termi. I hate the terminator interior (reminds...

    i've had her a month, and i'm in love

    so it's been about a month since i bought my vista blue phallic symbol. I was kinda on the fence for a while, because i'd always loved terminators so much. but watching this thing change a tiny bit at a time, i am in LOVE with the s197 platform now and find them breathtaking. thanks for...

    dropping engine for Cam install???

    why does everyone keep saying you need to drop or pull the engine to do a cam swap on these cars? from the top, everything looks pretty accessible :shrug: I assumed it was because changing the springs is difficult? what's so hard about it? looked very doable to me. i'm ignorant, please learn me...

    18" wheels vs 19" wheels

    I'm lookin for a new set for my daily driver. i think 19" wheels look perfect on these cars, but 18's perform better with more sidewall and a lot more tire options. I want sve drift wheels in 19x9.5 and the best tire option seems to be a nitto invo 285/30zr19 all around. I can't decide if the...

    555r size question

    my 325 nitto's seemed a little wider than other brands in the same size. My question is, will a 305/35-18 nitto fit with sportline springs? anyone run this combo? i will be on 18x9/18x10 AMR wheels.

    Drag radial questions

    I have a set of race star 15x10 rears with 325/50-15 nitto 555r's and i love em. they hook pretty good on the street once warm. the issue is, i can't lower the car much at all because they hang out a bit from the wheel well. these seem to run fatter than most tires in this size. i picked em for...

    nitto 325/50 tire clearance issues

    I've read up and down that 325's on 7.5bs race stars fit with a swaybar kit. While they do technically fit, my nitto nt555r tires rub the inside of the wheel well, on the raised portion in front of the shock absorber. it only rubs when the suspension moves outward (as in the wheel moves down...
