    One last ride in my 99 GT 3v swapped road course car...

    What kind of power are you making and what gearing to hold that type of speed through turns 1 and 2. My 99' cobra has a 3650 and 330whp with 3.90's and I'm stuck around 125mph in 4th gear.

    Enkei RPF1's and wheel spacers

    I haven't tried that. I know the holes are a bit elongated so that might work but effectively that's more negative camber. They suggested I run -3 degrees camber, which i don't mind as the car is mainly a track car but I don't want to chew everything up. My biggest problem right now is the...

    Enkei RPF1's and wheel spacers

    So what did you do? Here they are mounted with 0.8" spacing with 275/40/17 R888 tires. I moved the spring perch all the way down so i can manipulate the wheel travel and articulation. This is pushed up as far as I can go before it starts coming off the jack stand. I included some photos of it.

    Enkei RPF1's and wheel spacers

    Five years ago I bought 17x9.5 + 38mm offset RPF1's and now five years later I got around to doing the wheel studs and installing the Enkei's. Unfortunately, I forgot what I had bought the 39/64" drill bit for and I didn't rheem the front hubs and I ended up messing them up. I bought a new set...

    What tires are you guys running now that nitto has discontinued the 295/45/18 tire size?

    Hey guys, my NT555's are dried out and cracked after 15k miles, 35k miles total on the truck, and I need to replace them. According to Nitto's website the G2's and NT05's are no longer made in 295/45/18. I want a semi sticky tire, I don't go to the track, that can handle the 450hp and 540tq my...

    mach 1 in the 1/8 goes 5.23 at irwindale

    Awesome and congrats. Isn't the record for a "street" car 5.14 over there? When i use to frequent Irwindale years ago the battle was always between a notchback mustang and grand national right around the 5.1X mark. Its been about 4-5 years though.

    Is there a way to prime the engine like on the 4.6's?

    You are right that it won't actually build oil pressure. I've noticed that on my oil pressure gauge on my cobra. It won't actually even build any pressure but if it can circulate some oil so the vital parts at least have some oil on them topically then that will have to do.
