I got a set of 1" hubcentric wheel spacers from a local shop, but they did not come with lugs. Did your guys spacers come with lugs? If not, where did you get lugs that will fit? Thanks
Hey guys. How much I/C fluid and what kind should I get to replace mine? Do I need to buy it from Ford or can I get it from Discount Auto Parts? Thanks

Pretty much done with my NX wet kit. Only thing left to wire is the WOT switch and Window/1st gear lockout switch. I was going to use my PSP nitrous plate, but it would not work. The nozzle would hit the valve covers if placed on the bottom, and was too tall to close the hood if put on top...
Hey guys... Im ordering my 1st gear lockout/window switch mechanism. It comes with a set RPM activation, but 2 selectable RPM deactivation points. What RPM's do you nitrous guys spray? Its a wet kit. I was thinking 3000-6200 and 3000-6400. What do you guys think?
Heres the mechanism...
After a little bit of trouble with the springs, I finally got the right spring compressor and the rears only took 2 hours. Along with the H&R's I added a set of 10th Anniversary Wheels. I had wanted a Silver 10th Anniv Cobra, but didn't like the red/black leather seats. Loved the rims though...
Alright. I used spring compressors to get the stock spring out. I was told I could do the same to get the H&R back in, but I just can't get it in. I took the bottom shock mount off, what else can I take off to lower the bottom arm so I can get the spring in? Thanks

I got my Super Sports in today. I have a couple questions before I install the fronts. Did you use the rubber spring insolater around the bottom coil? Did you use the circle shaped insolator at the bottom of the spring? Last question, do I need a spring compressor for the front springs...
Has anyone given any thought to trying out an alcohol injection kit? I know when I had my Lightning a couple guys running high boost were running these kits. They were able to run high boost (with high boost you get lots of heat from the heaton) without any detonation. All of the Buick GN...
Anyone have a Spring install How-To? Im not worried about figuring out how to replace the spring, im more worried about putting the nuts and bolts back in to the right torque spec. Anyone have any kind of How-To? Thanks

I ordered a set of H&R Springs. After seeing the thread about it stopping some peoples wheel hop, I thought about IRS bushings. Should I go ahead and get these now while im disassembling the rear suspension to put the springs in? Thanks

Im going to order Boyd Coddington Smoothie II's for my car tommorrow. Im going to get 18x9's for the front and 18x10's for the rear. What Backspacing and Offset should I get for the front and the rear? The front I don't want much of a dish, but the back I want a real wicked deep dish. I want...
I was just curious if X2C is going to make a turbo kit like the one in their 03 Cobra Test car? Does anyone know what kinda turbo they used? About what kinda hp it is making? Thanks

How strong are H&R wheel spacers? Reason I ask is because I love 10th Anniversary Rims (17x9's) and I love FR500 Anthracite Rims (18x9's). I found a wheel shop that will widen the rims to 10.5" inches for me. If I add 1.5" to the inside of the wheel, I need to push the wheel out of the wheel...
Ok, so it wasn't in the Snake but it was still quite a thrill. I went to Frank Hawley's Super Gas Drag Racing School this past Monday and Tuesday (29th and 30th). I was taught from start to finish the proper procedures from burning out, to staging, cutting lights, and driving the car down the...
Whats the best 18" rim width/tire combo? Im trying to decide on rims, but I don't know how wide I need to go in the rear to utilize the best tire, which brings up the next question. Which tire should I use on the rear which provides the best traction? Also, is 18x8 too skinny for the front...
Im looking into getting some Boyd Coddington Timeless 2's for my snake. http://www.billetwheel.com/Wheels/Signature/timeless2.html
Im trying to figure out what the best backspacing would be so that the outside edge of the lip is perfectly in line with the fender or a tad bit in. I plan on a...
I just got a Predator for x-mas. When I turn it on, it says 5.4 Lightning... (I used to have a Lightning but not anymore, its plugged into my snake!). Anyway... Are all predators the same. Should it say 4.6 Cobra? I want to play with it... but I think I got the wrong one! Anyone?

When I first bought my car, I really wanted a 10th Anniversary Cobra because I loved the wheels and the interior trim accents, but just couldn't see myself driving a car with RED leather. I have been looking at wheels for a while now, and the 10th Anniversary rims only come in a 17x9" wheel. I...
