Pretty simple post... I realize there are a million threads on this topic. Fun street weekend car, it has seen a road course and will see more... but no drag strips.. Obvious street pulls here and there but not much activity in my area. Worth swapping the stockers our for 3:73's? I have...

Well I don't do too much street racing for the obvious reason's, plus there arent many cars around my area. However, my co-worker and I have been back and forth for years now with vette's and mustangs. He has been building up his C5 and it's a beast. I just got my gt500 back from a...

I've been anxious to pick my Shelby up and was finally able to do so last night... Despite the 35 degree weather. Noted on my previos threads, the power mods: Ported eaton Ported TB and elbow matched 2.6 pulley Steeda triple pass HE Jba o/rx Jba 2.5 axle backs with 4 inch tips (looks and...

For us Michiganders it has been a long winter. Looks like spring may show its face early next week. I have had this build planned and been saving since mid last summer and it starts this week!!! Most of the work is being performed at my local performance shop "Paul's High Performance." They...

Coming from a terminator vert I realized the importance of subframes after I put them on. It totally transformed the car to a much more solid feeling machine. I have a vert 07 with more power coming this spring. Shooting for 550-575. My car is 95% street and the rest road course track...

Fellas.... First off I know there are tons of Rim threads on here and I have viewed enough to make me sick... so bare with me here. There are so many rim options that look good on our Shelby's even with our brake clearance's etc... it is driving me nuts. I am not a huge rim guy meaning...

I stopped by my tuners shop today because I was in their area and wanted to say hey. It is always bad news when I go in there because there is sooo much stuff going on... 3 Raptors being heavily modded with Whipple's, and Mustang's being Tuned, Custom Ford GT's with carbon fiber body's made...

Let's start with the rear. I have decided to run the NT05R's. I am leaving my rim stock. So my original plan was just to slap on the same size tire as they come with. 285/40/18's. This will work nicely since Nitto makes the NT05R's in that size... but wait... I heard I might be able to fit...

Simple, Which tire would you run? I am getting rid of these crap F1's with only 2500 miles on them. Or would you recommend a different tire...? What were they thinking when they put grooves in the sidewall of these F1's anyway?

I just got my Shelby 2 weeks ago. 07 Black Vert w/Stripe Deletes Red 2-tone interior w/ 2200 miles bone stock #659. Getting things in-line with a small build in the foreseeable future. Nothing crazy, just bolt on's, tune, suspension and brakes. Determining on rim and tire setup us driving me...

I have been on this forum for awhile now but never wandered over to this thread. I was always on the Terminator threads. There just happens to be a deal I can't pass up in my hometown right now and I am jumping all over it. Selling the Terminator locally and buying the 07 Shelby. My father...

So my stock eaton went bad last week (bearings in the snout) so I found a used one with less miles on it. My car only has 37k and only about 1000 miles with the 2.8 pulley and i found it odd the SC went out but hey.... My tuner did most of the swap for me and he called me down today to finish...

I just posted recently about my stock SC bearings and gears going out. I have been looking at getting a used SC but most of them are ported. Before I make a decision I cannot follow through on, what are the general supporting mods for getting a ported eaton? A quick few lists would help...

I currently received bad news regarding my 1st build. My supercharger front bearings and gears are on their way out fast.... Please get at me if anyone is sitting on one! It would be much appreciated. Preferably a stock eaton because I would be tight on cash to do the supporting mods on a...

Went to my tuner today because the stock Eaton was making some funny noises that I was concerned about. We have diagnosed that the gears in the front of the Supercharger are about to go. It kind of grinds while the engine is running and we checked the SC oil which is already filthy from...

I have been seeing this blacked out SS around town this entire spring. My cobra is not my DD but I am lucky enough to see him when I am driving it and he revs at me everytime we pass one another. I always rev back of course and I have even turned around and went hunting for him with no luck...

I want to have 2 wheel and tire setups and am hooked on the FR 500's right now.... Which would you go with on a black vert? I am not looking for a 8k wheel and tire setup for god sake.... Right now my car is sitting on 17's AFS polished reps with the eagle F1's up front and Nitto 555R...

Car was tuned and finalized today. 451 rwhp @ 14.8 boost (was 365 stock) 476 rwtq (was 366 stock) -Powerslot Rotors -Hawk Ceramic Pads -SS brake lines -PHP Full Length Sub-Frames -PHP Toe Link Bars -PHP RAI -PHP IRS Poly Bushings -2.8 Pulley w/...

Did a couple pulls at Paul's High Performance today to get baseline numbers before we dive in. 365 rwhp/ 366 Trq; 80 degrees and about 90% humidity today in MI. (Beautiful Day by the way) Paul say's this converts to about 435ish hp under the hood. From my understanding this is a good...

I am growing to hate the stock knob in my Terminator. I know there are numerous options out there for all different prices. I would appreciate a veterans opinion on this subject considering I have only owned the car 4 months and am starting the modding this week. Thanks fellas.

Needless to say I am very excited. I have been waiting for this day for longer then I can remember. Ever since I became a gear head. (Once my dad explained to me the definition of american horsepower 15 years ago) 03 Cobra # 1018 Black Vert 35k Miles The work I have done thus far include...

My modding begins later this month. Pics to come once I begin. Tire pertinent mods include Eibach lowering springs, full length sub-frames, and its a vert. Right now my car is sitting on stock rims and tires. I already have 17X10.5 replica's and Nitto 315 Dr's for the rear awaiting to be...

Well, with the weather came real excitement for us Michiganders. -I finished my brake job mid week. Powerslot rotors, hawk ceramics, and SS brake lines. -First official wash/polish/wax/detail. Pics Below. -OH YEA.... 1ST OFFICIAL KILL! I was cruising home from work Friday in my...

Working on a brake upgrade last night and today. Powerslots w/ Hawk Ceramics and Russel SS lines. Everything went smoothly like it should for a brake job and then I got it all put together and bled the lines and can't seem to get brake pressure back. I am worried the Master Cylinder...

So everyone here believes that I actually bought one... Here are pictures of my dusty Terminator in my Garage awaiting the spring. Bought 01/23/12; 35k Miles; Bone Stock. (I did the minor cosmetic mods such as front cobra badge, bumber inserts, etc...) 2003 # 1018 of 5082; Built...
