    Tallest and widest drag slick.

    I may have screwed up with the 4.10 gear install. I calculated my trap speed and it is slower than I thought with a 28 inch tall tire. My axle is laying on my shop floor. Hopefully I will get it in this weekend and I can do some measuring. I figure I could run at least a 29 inch tall...

    Gear change with tuner.

    If I can get all the stuff to finish my exhaust, I may be able to get my axle back under the car this weekend. I went with a 4.10 gear. I have a Jon Lund tune I loaded with an SCT Tuner. Can I go in and change the gear ratio without downloading the same file again? Also, I read a couple...

    C-clip eliminators.

    I dropped my axle so I could paint it and install a set of 4.10 gears. I finished the gear install this weekend. I still have to sand and paint the caliper mounting plates so the axles are still out. I searched a little but still have a few questions. I plan on being close to 800 rwhp...

    2013 GT500 with Stainless Works 1-7/8" LT headers.

    Just finished up a round of mods on a buddy's 2013 GT500. It has the SW's 3" o/r x-pipe connected to the stock axle back. I am replacing it in the next few days with a 3" Magnaflow exhaust. Also installed a 15% overdrive ATI harmonic dampener and JLT CAI kit with a Cobra Jet throotle body...

    Axle back exhaust question.

    I just finished up a bunch of mods on a friends GT500. e bought a 3 inch Magnafkow axle back exhaust. Can I get the axle back pipes out from under the car on jack stands or will I need a lift?

    15% ATI hamonic dampener.

    I am putting a bigger harmonic balance pulley on a buddy's '13 GT500. He bought at ATI. I think I read the 2013 harmonic balancer does not have the tapped holes in if for a puller. Will a standard puller work t hat grasps on the OD of the pulley work? Also, the pulley is slotted for two...

    Just did a LT install on a 2013.

    I finished up the Stainless Works 1-7/8" header install on a buddy's 2013 yesterday. I will say Ford made a lot of nice upgrades to the 2013 from my 2010. I really liked the under panels, painted rocker panel covers and the oil pan. I will say the carbon fiber drive shaft is a very "butt...

    May go to the Dark Side after I saw this ZL1:

    Just when you thought butt ugly could not get any butt uglier.

    2013 GT500 lower pulley install.

    I am doing several mods to a buddy's 2013 GT500 including headers, UCA and LCA's, CAI, TB, tune.............. The one mod that I am afraid of is the lower pulley. I need to call him and find out who makes the pulley. Will a standard harmonic balancer puller work? I read on here there...

    LT header install, 5.4 versus 5.8.

    A buddy of mine called me last night and asked me if I would mod his 2013 GT500. He bought a bunch of stuff from Evolution. I have a couple of questions about some of the parts he bought. The first is the headers. I think he said his headers were made by Stainless Works. I installed...

    Drag wheel/tire help.

    I'm heading to the local tire store to order a set of drag wheels and tires. What would be the best tire size for a 750 rwhp car with the stock 3.55 gear? I'm thinking 26 inch tall. Should I go taller? I'm looking at a Hoosier slick. Anybody think this is a good drag tire? Also, I...

    Weld RT wheels.

    I'm about to buy a set of drag wheels and tires. I can not find any closeup photos of 15" Weld RT rear wheels and 17" front wheels. Does any body have some closeup photos? Thanks, yeller

    UCA and LCA's with spherical rod ends.

    I installed a set of LCA's and UCA from BMR this weekend and I am getting some thumping and squeeking. I torqued the fasteners as much as I could on jack stands and I feel I exceeded the manufacturers torques specifications. Is the noise normal? It would not bother me if I knew it was...

    Brake bleeding help.

    I put a CFM like lock kit on my 2010 this weekend. There kit mounts on the frame rail in the tire well and connects to the steel line using their own line from the valve to the caliper. You have a valve on each front wheel. Not much fluid leaked out while I bolted on the solenoids and swapped...

    Getting closer to the track.

    Here are few mods that might help someone especially the trunk mounted battery. The last time I made a pass was in my 2003 Cobra the end of summer 2005 before I sold it. It went 103 at 7.13 with my foot off the gas the last 100 feet trying to keep it off the wall. I'm going to be a little...
