Congrats Lito. Would you recommend the 4.30 vs 4.10?

Edit: I remembered you have a T56 so it probably wouldn't correlate

Thats awesome Lito! Makes me want to do that to my car. But I do kind of like my Saleen S/C. Your car is a beast though, 405 NA through 4:30 gears is impressive to say the least.

I have a 0.54 6th so it will cruise awesome still won't do it on a 3650 but that is me.

Awesome man! glad you are getting to enjoy it a little! LOVE that Fore cover btw.

When you coming back to the USA?????

Thanks!, no plans for now, getting tickets here have became a nightmare really want to make it this year, lets see. Want to see your car running!

If I had an SC I would not do it, tired of the turbo issues wanted to do something weird and it has been awesome so far, hope it stays together.

For some reason I have not analyzed yet, my dyno won't vary with gearing, I've tested once with a 6060 car and had three overlaid power/torque lines in 3, 4 and 5th. Should look into this, maybe is the drumless model? don't know.

Only with the left internal cap holding bolt, we grounded it down enough and used a double nut to torque it down (does not have the allen section anymore) but is good now. The actual cover do not touch the PHB.

So far so good, just switched to valvoline VR-1 synthetic and made about 1500 miles on it, most of them at WOT, no issues so far.

BTW, opened the 2nd oil filter and no brass/bearing residue on it so maybe it will live.

New headers arrived today. ARH 1 3/4" & 3", let's see what happens.

I'm betting on a few skinned knuckles and thrown tools.:whistle1:

I don't know about that on a early S197. Mine went on fairly easy on jack stands.

Now the 2011 was a whole different situation, that was a ball buster and on a lift.

Both were ARHs

I would say the 05-09 are the easiest mustangs to work on, new edge's were tight and '15 are back being tight.
