Pushing a little bit further...

[zuritausmc]

So after reading and rereading threads on here about the a 3.0 pulley, I think Im gonna pull the trigger on it and see how long she'll last. Lol Im gonna be setting aside $$$ for the new 5.0 upgrades or a new engine, which ever comes first. Ive got the V-10 wp and will be ordering a roush tensioner soon along with some 90mm idlers. Im only seeing 8lbs of boost on my 3.4 and 420whp so Im figuring about 12 after the upgrade and just under 500 staying on the safe side. (kind of lol) Im putting in my UCA LCA and panhard rod tomorrow and my last step will be some of the new Nittos before it sees some track time. Tuning is done by RET here locally. So Ill keep you guys informed! Any suggestions?

How about a bigger intercooler to help keep IAT temps down and try to keep things cooler.

Better tires than Nittos if you plan on running at the track.

I would recommend the Thumprrr tensioner instead of the Roush along with better tires.

Really? I thought the new nittos were suppose to be pretty good.

Are you talking about the Nitto NT05 drag radials?

I'll be curious to see how those work... haven't heard about much real world experience yet.

+2 I'm pretty happy with my M&H's, but have been waiting to hear reviews of the new Nitto's. The M&H's are finally gonna get a good test in a couple weeks after the trutrac and 3.73's go in.

The NT05 treadwear is rated at 0, so they may not last that long. If you plan on using them on the streets and track, they may last less only 10-15,000 miles. You may want to buy tires for the street and tires for the track.

If you could get 10K-15K out of them, that would be pretty dam good.

Lol. I just dont want to deal with them in the rain. Hows the summer here? Usually dry?

Im afraid of the Perfect Storm like we had a few weeks ago. I was all over the highway to 40 to 45

 

[gmantheman]

Summers are usually dry.
