[QUOTE="Crackerballer, post: 11148473, member: 20816"] Guys, since we all know signatures are fluid, give a brief overview in the post of what setup you have at the time of posting. My setup: Mach 1 SRA with 3.55s, 2.76 upper, catback and midpipe, STB, JLT intake, tune for 93 Pros: -Good power for the money ($2500 or less since I swapped the IRS for the 8.8 and exhaust), car made 459/482, or +59/+107 over stock -Makes the car very fun and combines both good top end and low end -plethora of aftermarket parts for the 8.8 and relatively cheaper to "beef up" over the IRS Cons -SVTP unjustly hates on us SRA folks talking about how we are dragstrip warriors who's antiquated methods are destined to die a death worse than Amy Winehouse -Little headroom past my numbers. Ports/lowers will add additional heat which may need addressing, you will need more fuel (BAP, pumps), more air flow (MAF, MAFia), and better monitoring (boost gauge, hilton overlay) -Suspension mods not done to fully enjoy the SRA. I still need FLSCFs, lower control arms, and to install my Maximum Motorsports 3-link kit, at which point I will put my suspension/ride quality/traction against any prepped IRS on an 03/04 Cobra out there. The other problem is the amount of "safety" mods you need to make your car reliable and quick (which we know by the old adage won't be cheap). Widebands, subframe connectors, proper monitoring of the intercooler pump, IAT2s, etc leaves a lot of "prep work" that should be done before getting crazy serious with the horsepower. As for setups, no matter what your long term goals with the car, everyone should have: -Wideband -proper boost gauge/overlay -good tires! -robust suspension (can be more setup specific) I never understand the people who make 600-650 HP and run nothing but FLSFCs and a FTBR bushings kit with some 315s and wonder why they can't get traction or post about the cars they [b]could[/b] beat if they hooked. Again I am a street warrior, so lighter weight and more useable power is more appealing to me. [/QUOTE]
