[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 14996904, member: 166576"] +1 for the awesomeness of the GT500 tech forums. Such a wealth of information! First to be modified on my car was the shifter after the trans got repaired. Next, the rear suspension to get it ready for real launching. Then the engine mods after the fine folks at Kearny Pearson Ford figured out her misfire issue. Added some sticky tires (NT05Rs) and did 2 drag events. 1st being a "track" at the Charger's football stadium. Spin city, but fun. Second time out was to Barona Drag way and holy moly, I finally found grip! ...and instantly knew at the end of my night I had to get an upgraded driveshaft. Launching at 3000 RPM (probably going to have to go to 3500 with my new M/T setup out back) I knew the stock DS wasnt going to last. Today Im installing a DSS aluminum shaft and BMR rear chassis brace with integrated safety loop. Next after that will be a McCleod RXT clutch as all this abuse wont let the stocker last much longer Im sure. Even with all this upgrading, we still got a hell of a car from the factory. After mods, our cars are just that much f'n better. All because of the knowledge from this board. Glad I joined! :) [/QUOTE]
