One Car Ahead Of You
Been chasing traction/stability issues at the track (car would love to try and hit whatever wall it felt was proper at the time) and finally solved them.. The rear, built in 2006, need a bit of help from a good ol' fashion spool/33 spline lightweight axles, and supporting mods.. As the eaton diff was finally giving up, and it would violently pull the car to whatever side was letting out.

Props to NASTY5.0 on here for the install :beer:

Now:

Decided to celebrate today by spraying it on the street. Street tune of 93 octane.. splash of torco, and 150 shot. :banana:
Only problem is, it pushes the front tires down the road... I need spray just to do a burnout!

Car is effortless now, and can't wait to send her down the track :rockon:

lol that's good stuff. Glad you got the issue fixed.

Hey I think I saw you one night on the pike. You were at the dunkins right next to Best Buy, Olympia Diner, and Town Fair. I was coming off the light in my cobra on my way somewhere else, and I was like oh damn I think that's the car from svtp... It was maybe 2-3 months ago I think, everyone in the group was deff looking at my car as I drove off.

Cool.. what are the specs and what are you asking for it?

The car is an 84 gt, clean no rust. Ford racing crate 347 with an NX hitman plate on it. Jamie Miller 6 point bar, subframes, and anti roll bar. Full upr suspension with tubalar k member and front coil overs. Best of 11.04@124 on the motor and 10.19@135 on spray. Those passes were with a Dave Reed rebuilt t5 full syncroed stock style, the car now has a pro shifted t5. Asking 10k obo and I will include a redneck performance c4 and hurst quarter stick which I purchased used but did not install
