[QUOTE="sweatnblood, post: 15466057, member: 183157"] Hey guys, I'm super excited to announce that I have finally bought my shelby:coolman: She is a 2011 convert with the SVT package less than 30K on the clock so should be good to go for a long time. I've been reading and reading trying to figure out where to start. I've seen a lot of post about tires and what not but seems most people have hard tops so my 1st question is best upgrade for the convert on helping out the handling...more autocross than drag strip. Then that would lead into wider wheels, I think I seen something on Gridds site that had competed packages but they start from 4K then jump to 8K+. I know they have been around a long time so quality will be great but is there any other packages from other companies that have good reps? on the power side of the house I've been looking into the VMP 720HP kit or Brenspeed 750HP kit...seems like they are pretty close in price although I've read that the costumer service is pretty dam good from brenspeed so leaning that way for now. With all this being said is the stock clutch and axles strong enough for this (not going to be going to the drag stip every week) mostly a highway killer with some added winding roads since I live in SoCal. Last thing, the car will be in the Dallas area until I get back in end of Dec from Iraq anybody recommend a shop in the area that does quality work so I might get this done before I get back and can just get in and go...again thanks for your time and beyond excited to finally get my dream car for years to come Tony [/QUOTE]
