So it's been a while from my last post, but It's been building up!
My last muscle purchase was a 2012 leftover gt500 for 48k. Will never part with it and I have been waiting for the new gt500 or other offerings.
After seeing the price points and options I'm saying it may be time to jump...
I know I'm not the first guy to show stuff like this, but I think it warrants our attention as car enthusiasts.

Sorry for the bad pics, but I pulled the trigger on a new yamaha Raptor 700r. I also bought a couple wee little raptors. Man these things have come a long way since my first warrior at 15. Heading to Durhamtown Georgia for some track and trail riding.
I live in South Fl and it's that time of year. I wanted to share my dice roll on a military gen set and see what others are doing.
My latest purchase was a 2008 fermont 10kw military enclosed military generator. It has a 9 gallon fuel tank and a 4 cylinder Onan diesel engine with 375 hours.
I...
So I'm happy with where I'm at, and it sticks like glue with the nt05r's.
No drag strip launches in 1st. Just don't want to stick it in second and have bits and peaces of drive shaft all over the road. So yes I can upgrade, but only if its a safety issue. I'm happy with car finally!
So I searched around a bit regarding the 555 G2 and might pull the trigger up front.
Anybody running these things out back? Are they worth a damn?
We really need some new tire technology.
My expectation would be traction in 2nd gear with 600-700 hp at the wheel. That should be possible these...
So I'm looking for some opinions about running the Ford M5300-L springs without a front sway bar on the street.
I am currently running the FR3 kit and at full soft/loose it still follows the groves in the road. I'm thinking of just pulling the front sway bar all together.
Anybody running this...
So I'm on my way to work today and give it half throttle up the ramp and "forget about it" I look like one of those bad car show videos where they burn out and lose control.
Yes the tires were cold, but I'm looking for more traction without brake dive.
I have the fr3 with bmr upper, and...
Bought an mgw gen2 because my clutch install was delayed. I'm hoping the combination of the shifter and the twin disc 1000hp mcleod clutch will stop the lock out I get. Ford said the transmission sync test passed. Whatever the hell that is. Anyone running this combo? can you speed shift it or is...
Have a 12 with 680 whp 19.5 pounds of boost witha tvs and a 2.4" pulley and KB 168 mono.
After the headers I'll be around 710whp and 18 or so pounds of boost.
It's my DD so I was thinking why bother with a lower pulley or e85, just throw a 100 shot in so it's there when you need it. The car is...
So I was hoping to pick up a used set of Kooks or ARH headers in the next couple of weeks and have them coated to control engine bay heat.
Has anyone tried other headers like MBRP and are they at the fit and finish quality level needed?
Also am I wasting my time having the headers coated or do...
So I would like start by asking that I be the only one that laughs at me.
I head out of CVS after trying to find the perfect energy bar for the kids sports/ eating issues and I end up at a light with little to no traffic lined up against a BMW 135m.
I know, I know, most of the street pros in...
I'm looking to improve my optimal rpm range at 65mph. I have 3:55's right now and I feel like 2nd gear is to short and 3rd gear is to tall when you get on it.
I could go up or down in gear or I was looking at the 2013 transmission.
It appears to have a different gear ratio that might...
How much boost are you guys running on the street?
I'm curious what boost levels people are running on the street using the tvs on pump gas. I am currently at 19.5 without headers, just an H-pipe. I used to read about 18psi being the threshold, but it seems like people are pushing past that...
So I have a dual fan heat exchanger, but my engine bay is still so damn hot. It actually causes heat expansion in certain components. This seems like crazy heat. Coated headers, custom vents for the hood, upgraded radiator. Is their an upgrade to remove or minimize this heat?
I know it impacts...
My question is about the 3 holes on the ford racing front sway bar. Do they adjust ride stiffness as well as under steer and over steer?
I ask because I would like to soften the front end up a bit and the tokicos are full soft. 2012 gt500
Thanks,
I need advice on Dead Hooker springs ride quality. I currently swapped my m5300l rears back to stock 2012 non track pack because I like the soft ride.
Looking at another swap with the dead hookers to have ride height and traction controlled.
Are the Dead Hookers stiffer?
Any Down side?
Thanks,
So I get the gt350 is a track car, but after looking at the dyno numbers I'm not seeing it. To me it looks like a boss with a cam upgrade on a dyno graph.
I almost bought the boss instead of my gt500, but I couldn't resist the broad power band of the gt500. That's not what the gt350 looks like...
I know this is a tired question, but my recent KB Trinity upgrade has made my 315 Invo's pretty much useles and it's time for tires.
12k a year DD. I want second to hook! Nt05? are they ok for a DD or noisy as hell?
At 540 whp the Invos were perfect, but at 680whp they cant hold second at all...
So I wanted to share some pics of my new tvs Power By The Hour setup. It includes a KB 168 mono and a massive elbow. Also included is 155mm jlt and a BPS 2.4 pulley. Fuel setup was 55lb injectors with a KB BAP. The car made 680whp and 646 Torque with 19.5 pounds of boost. No headers. It's my DD...
So my tvs / power by the hour xba to KB 168 mm mono setup goes in this week and I'm a little nervous. I drive the hell out of this car as it's my DD. I trust those guys and they claim the KB is such a tunable product it should run like stock.
Lots of different ways I could have gone, just...
So I have rear tokico dpec's in my 12 gt500. I really like the ride quality and figured I would pick up the front pair when I change springs.
Wrong!
So I called tokico USA and in turn they referred me to the U.S. distributor. It felt like the whole thing was a big joke to these guys. Minimum 3...
Was pulled for tint on the front wind shield by FHP. Fine, I explain my occupation has me in the dark 10 hours a day, Eye issues. I now have a physicians note. I understand not complaining.
Why would he bring up a prior ticket for estimated speed of 93 that was tossed. The exact estimated speed...
Just wanted to let you guys know I'm backing this horse. I know I don't have the street credit many of you have, but I've been waiting patiently all summer for it. It's being made by "Power By The Hour"
It's basically an elbow that allows you to run a kb 168 mono and 148mm JLT on a Trinity TVS...
I am adding more power and would like to have good weight transfer, but the front end does not seem to rise at all during acceleration. I am open to spring advice, but removing the sway bar seems extreme. What exactly is stopping it? "non track pack with steeda lca's and dspecs in the rear only"
