    why does everyone want to spin the coyote up to 8000 plus?

    This may be a good thread to post in I’m looking at swapping my 3V for a coyote but I’m used to and really like low end torque vs needing to rev out a high rpm motor The 3V is currently boosted with a Pd blower and I would likely do the same with the coyote. I was looking at doing a gen 2 truck...

    Maximum Motorsports Roll Bar install in a 2010 GT

    Which Braums do you have? What’s the advantage to you over the previous, I’m looking at seats and worry about the cheaper ones flexing and be made for the look crowd vs actual track use Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Luillo's 2013 Shelby Build thread

    I was recommended by a local guy who built several shelbys for drag racing to go with the 2.66 first (stock 13-14) I went with 4.10 rear gears but am only around 500hp He said the longer first gear will provide a better 1/4 mile I think with your power goals the 4.10 may be too steep Sent...

    Steeda Pro-Action vs. Koni STR.T on '07 GT

    Another option is strange adjustable, I use them with BMR sp009 springs (1.5”) and the ride is nicer on the street then you would expect, it actually impressed my mechanic who swore I would hate them as he said a drag shock would be under damped. It’s a great multi use set up, street car first...

    TR6060 pricing/swap

    I put a 6060 out of a 13gt500 in my 2005 last year, the gear ratios were a big part of it but also the better shifting and strength. I was afraid I would break the 3650 with 500 wheel. The 13/14 has a different output flange (cup actually) and the driveshaft options are more limited. I ended up...

    Tell Me about Your Setup

    I have the sve gt350r reps (~24lbs for 19x10 and 19x11) This is my second set of 19s and while I think the size looks right on these cars the tire selection is not great, I’ve ran 285/35 and 295/35 on 10” rears (hankook and super sports) With the wider sve wheel I decided to try the...

    3v trans

    Anything over stock power the 2.66 first will be faster for drag racing as well I am around 500hp and have a 13 6060 with the 2.66 gears and 4.10s and it awesome, if I had more power I’d step down in rear gear. I had a road course day on a shorter track this week and was thinking how much I...

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    Funny I also just picked up the Firestone’s as well, I paid about double the price in Canadian dollars though mine are also larger 285/35/19 front and 325/30/19 rear. I’m excited to get them mounted on the new rims, I only have a week before my first track day of the year Sent from my iPad...

    Quik-Latch Hood Pins on S197, who’s running them?

    Just in case others did not catch the sarcasm These have been copied for a while, I would not risk it, these are a very precise fit and I would never risk a safety item. I have known others who forgot to clip their hood pins and suffered thousands of dollars in damage. Sent from my iPad...

    Comparison with new ecoboost

    Ill go into more detail The ecoboost changed in 18 so I’m not sure if earlier ones are the same Boost comes in and peaks early, it is great on the street but yes it does seem to run out of steam in the higher rpm The 10 speed auto makes it seem like you have 4.10+ rear gears while cruising at...

    Comparison with new ecoboost

    It’s been a while since my 2005 gt was anywhere close to stock but I just traded in an 18 ecoboost after 2 years as my daily They are very different, the ecoboost was a 10 speed auto but I’m pretty sure outside of from a dig it would be quicker, I know raced a 300 wheel sn95 cobra and it walked...
