were are you finding a 71mm tb? they come in 65, 70, 75?

can you post links to the parts you found so we can take a look at what you are seeing.

 

Sorry, should have been 70mm, I fat fingered the keybaord there.


Seems like alot of people prefer the Accufab 70mm:

I actually like this set up as well but I would have to part it out with a 70mm TB:

head over to ninosport.com and check there's out. Also try 50resto.com and summitracing.com Those are highly reccomended sites around these parts. Also, some sites give you discounts b/c you're on this one.

Knight, I havn't ran the car yet, but I'm estimating high 14s and around 95mph on a 1/4 mile run right now. Once I do the mods I have planed, I might get high 13s low 14s.

I also plan on doing a track car, but mine will be running about 8second 1/4 miles. Already know exactly what I'll be doing. Highly customized 1969 Boss replica. Only thing that will be Boss on the car is the body. FR engine that puts out about 700hp. If you want more details, ask me, too lazy to post them all now.

 

Remember, your not gonna lower your time if you are spinning and not getting the power you have to the ground already.

So in that case, my opinion before you add more power, add a set of subframe connectors and rear lower control arms. They will help stiffen your car up (all around better in the long run) and the LCA's help keep the rear end in check and planted. Those will help you quite a bit. Then add some nitto drag radials on your 17" wheels and it should almost eliminate the excessive spinning you are getting off the line.

 

Thanks Scott!

 

That makes sense. I know I'm spinning way to much at the line on my race tune so that is why I wanted to go with the drag radials. Stiffening up the rear seems like a good plan.

Any recomendations on brands of LCA's and sub frame connectors?

Thanks.

Thanks Scott.

 

No problem. Also with subframes, they stiffen your car up and help reduce vibrations, rattles and other misc noises after miles and miles have been put on your car. And the LCA's will also help with the handling aspect of the car.

 

And the best part is that I don't have to dip into my secret upgrade fund to do this since i can just tell the wife it will help keep the car from spinning out so much when she floors it around corners in the rain.

Scott do you recomend the SFC's that bolt on with the seat bolts in the middle or do you think the regular weld on versions will work just as well?

 

secret upgrade fund...i need to get one of those! yeah the more parts she knows and is ok with you buying, the more you can buy with the secret fund!

 

Exactly! The wife is a financial planner and I hate dealing with money so she does all our finances. I have part of my check going into the bank account I had before we got married so I use that and I also do some stuff on the side and squirrel away that money to. She knows about the money but doesn't know what is there or what it goes to. It's the only way I can mod the car and buy hockey equipment without having to hear about it afterwards.



She thinks the X-Cal came with the K&N CAI I bought a while ago.

 

dang thats really smart! I need to have part of my check go to another account so our bills and other budget calculate without that amount.

Thanks a lot man that is actually something i might do.

 

No problem.

It started out because there were no branches of our new bank near my office and a branch for my old bank is right across the street so we kept a portion of my check in that account so I could have access to cash if I needed it. It has since turned into a slush fund for my hobbies.

It also helps the wife out since I'm a spender and she's a saver, this way she doesn't have to worry about what I spend since it doesn't reflect on our living exspenses at all.

 

it would help me the opposite way.. my wife is a spender and i'm a saver(unless it comes to mustang stuff.) But every penny i save my wife spends 2 so this will be nice to keep it out of her sight.

 

Ok let me go ahed and say, LCA's and subframes will not help with that particular problem. Thats gonna require less throttle no matter what mod you do. Or the driverseat mod... which is move it back to where she can barely touch the gas and she cant press it down all the way.

I've had both types. ON my GT just the standard weld ons (go full length if you can) and on my cobra I had the kenny brown ones that had the brace that bolts to the seat. I liked both, but the kenny brown ones seemed to be a bit nicer. Either way you will be happy.

 

You guys better hope your wives dont read this thread

 

yeah i was thinking of editting my post for my own protection.



nah she doesn't go on the forums.

 

I know it won't help there but that doesn't mean I won't sell it to the wife that way. I prefer the key mod, that's were I hide the keys to the stang so she has to drive her own car.

So now i have a pretty decent list of mods to get, I just need to scare up the cash.

Thanks.

 

Get the shocking key. Everyone she touches the key, it shocks her! That's what I did! I just told her it's a malfunction in my alarm remote!
