treadwear and traction are on two opposite ends of the spectrum..


Someone on turbomustangs.com said he got 10,000 miles out of his et street radials..

 

Yup, they're 275s.. First thing I would do is some kind of CAI (I have the K&N FIPK), a catback, and DR's.


I have a dynojet wideband commander and a predator so I can keep and eye on the fueling.. I have a twin turbo kit I'm trying to assemble or I would have already gotten some other mods.


If you're happy with 450-470 rwhp, get a 2.8 billetflow pulley and 90mm idler and you'll be fine with a good tune.


500 hp get a ported eaton..


600 hp get either a KB blower or whipple.

There's a million different ways you can go. It's easy to put the power mods on but you'll need to do an equal amount of mods to the rear end to keep it from breaking and to put that power down.

 

ya that was my next question. besides fat tires what kinbd of mods need to be done to the ass. i understand that those are as important as the motor mods. thanks for the help

 

i only have an O/R bbk x-pipe and UPR CAI on order along with my DR.

 

I think we covered it pretty well tonight


As far as the rear end.. depends on how hard to want to launch.. if you want to do a 6000 rpm dump with some fat slicks you will probably snap your stock input shaft pretty quick..

If it's just going to be a street car then you can probably get by on the stock input shafts and half shafts.. A good set of stiffer IRS bushings and some anti wheel hop drag shocks should suffice. Also any drag radial is going to go a long way to help with wheelhop.

 

After seeing the PSCA drag radial cars running low 8's on 275/60/15 MT drag radials, I think I'm gonna have to get a set.
