    Muffler help

    x2 for MBRP. I'm running LT's and O/R H-pipe as well and i will say when you get on it, it's LOUD. But light-moderate throttle around town is perfect imo. Fairly deep and "Rumble-y", as much as a 4.6 can be deep and rumbley anyways

    Hurst

    I have the exact one, Major improvement over stock. No rattles and no slop after many miles. Yes the reverse lockout issue is present occasionally. Not a huge deal, just wiggle it in neutral or put it into 1st/2nd and it should go back into reverse. Hurst ships it with 2 rubber insulators that...

    Setup Questions/Quick Intro

    Roger that, So 3-4 people who are voting for the Koni's or Bilstiens and no real mention of anything else. Tells me all i need to know really. I'll start looking for the best price on the Konis. At this point i may just leave my current spring set alone (Likewise on the Relo brackets) and see...

    Setup Questions/Quick Intro

    46Addict - That's a good suggestion on the GT500 arms for sure. If i didn't just replace my ball joints last fall i would most definitely go that route. Also that bit about the LCA's is exactly what i was looking for, Seems like a quick easy way to judge if i should invest in Relo Brackets, I'll...

    Setup Questions/Quick Intro

    Informative post like always Norm! I did briefly look at the Koni yellows browsing dampers, and i must admit i brushed them aside as i had some older model Koni's on a previous car of mine. They were a red model and only had 9 (Single) adjustment settings, The adjustment knob was on the body of...

    Setup Questions/Quick Intro

    Yes for sure, I know investing in a good quality set of dampers will be the best/most noticeable thing i could do to the car at this point. Everything else is either a $100-150 fix or $0 if deemed unnecessary. Where as dampers i can see running me well over $1500 (Canadian Dollar), Which is why...

    Setup Questions/Quick Intro

    Being as this is my first post geared towards the handling side of things i figured it would be appropriate to give a run down on my current set-up and quick blob about myself since i've yet to do that since i joined. Even though i'm always on here reading, i don't post a whole lot Although...

    OBDLink scan tools

    I have the MX Wifi (Needed to work with IOS), works great. While i can second that there is connectivity issues, How severe is purely user based. When i first got it i had major frustrations, would only connect about 1/20 times and would cut-out in the middle of driving sometimes. Unknown to me...

    Rearend Rebuild

    I just finished doing mine a couple days ago. +1 for the TruTrac. I'd keep factory axles, If it's only going to see street tires don't spend money you don't have to. The best deal on an install/rebuild kit i could get was from Motive Gear, I opted for the slightly more expensive one with Timken...

    Stay with nitrous or switch to paxton?

    I`d keep both, But for now i`d only run the paxton and piece together a A2A system. Then when the time comes down the road you do a motor build (Believe me it will) run a 100 or 150 shot on top of the boost

    there's still a 3v aftermarket? (new intake manifold)

    Also interested in hearing an update. They have a "HolleyDays" promotion running until the 31st of December where the manifold (incl fuel rail kit) is only $476. I imagine this would be a very clean looking set-up for anyone running breathers on their VC's and deleted EVAP, who only require the...

    When are the breaking points of a stock 8.8

    Sorry guys been away for a few days. I appreciate everyone still chiming in with their opinions and experiences. When i started off and made this thread i was thinking of doing my rear end in two "stages", 1) being welding my axles tubes, Support cover, new clutches in my track-lok and fresh...

    When are the breaking points of a stock 8.8

    Yea that's true. I thought i read a thread before with someone explaining how they launched so hard that it actually crushed the crush sleeve slightly and by the time they got down the track and back to the pits their rear end was almost toast. I can't seem to find it atm, But i swear i read...

    When are the breaking points of a stock 8.8

    So general consensus seems to be that a TruTrac would a worthwhile investment, While the axles should be fine for a street/strip car on DR's. Thanks Guys Anyone bother doing any upgrades with the main cap studs? I noticed Strange actually makes a full replacement billet man cap, So i assume it...

    When are the breaking points of a stock 8.8

    Searched and couldn't find any definitive answers, so here we go.. Taking the rear end out of the car this winter to have the axle tubes welded and some mild bracing done at a local race shop. At this point the car has almost 190k km's on it (i think that's around 116k Miles), So i'm going to be...

    Unique Hanging Revs Issue

    Thanks for the reply Bruce! I actually just talked it over with my tuner too and you guys are giving me confudence it's just a tune issue and nothing major. Basically he said the same thing about how it's probably a tune issue, also mentioned how our cars (and fords in general apperantly) are...

    Unique Hanging Revs Issue

    So i was doing some pre-dyno maintenance in preparation for a tune session and i might have run into a little issue. It came up after i cleaned my TB. i'm some glad i did because there was quite the buildup of sludge behind the blades. Basically i have a problem with hanging revs between gears...

    Coolant Overflow Delete?? Old School idea

    Toorbeenee that's almost exactly what i was thinking of! How is your overflow tanked geared up, does the rad just puke into the overflow when up to temp and when it cools down it sucks it back in? Is that hole in the top just to vent pressure? Looks great! i'd probably be able to hide the whole...

    Coolant Overflow Delete?? Old School idea

    Thanks dino! Yea i had the idea floating around in my head while sitting around the house lastnight but then this morning i went out to the garage to take a look at everything and i realized what you're saying; The high point in the cooling system would then be in the engine; Perfect formula for...

    Coolant Overflow Delete?? Old School idea

    So as always the mod bug hit during this particularly harsh Atlantic Canadian winter and like most people i'm always looking for those little things that help clean up our engine bays. A couple of the things i have in mind are relocating the PS Reservoir just a little more towards the drivers...
