LOL i probably will never use 5th unless im on a road course that i can hit a 180mph on LOL! With 1:1 4th gear with the last trans it redlined at 148MPH! so that .80 5th gear of the t56 will get me that 180MPH............LOL thats why i want to go with ethier 4:10's or 4:30s so i can use 5th.... God i cant wait! We are going to need a Road course Event very soon!................lol

Isn't that the truth! Dont get me wrong I'm all for 1/4 mile..... But I also like to have a car that handles really well. If you guys would have seen the 68 mustang you would now that. It had 1 inch front sway bar and 3/4 inch rear with 1 1/2 inch lowering, qucik ratio steering box, and of course the weld in traction bars by Carrol shelby... that thing could corner like a new gt and hook up like no other... So with that said

When i build a car i want it to be a STREET MACHINE not "Just" a 1/4 mile Beast...

called

I didnt get any message. I know he checked on it and said it would be 1000$ unlimited cars and runs.. we need to get a for sure head count though. The first DD we set up was kinda a flop. We told them that we had a positive 15 heads or something I think we actually showed up with 8 or 9 cars. I want to make sure we are not wasting anyones time ..

I will hang out for a little bit on sunday, but I have to work at 3:30..... and no never got gears just a cat back and C&L intake.... that i love by the way car doesnt feel slower at all, oh and the 6 speed is like 10 more pounds... nothing to make it slower other then going from a 3:38 to a 2:97 first gear that i love. it puts second gear right in the middle of the power band......it pulls hard!!!!

Well if i wanted the fastest mach around i would through in those gears.....But I drive to many miles a day to go with 4:10's right now...Maybe after im done with school and I'm settled down a little i will prbably go with somthing along the lines of 4:56's!! I dont plan on putting boost, and the people that i have talk to that have ran 4:30's wish they had 4:56's...... You got to remeber the 4V engines loves to rev. But I think im done moding for a while, maybe a tune in the near future, but to be real i just want to drive the car and enjoy it.... I still haven't got to do that yet with all the bull shit that has been going on! But right now I'm loving every minute of it!

I would just like to say.......I love driving my car.......lol! I have to take you guys for a ride. The first gear pull once you hit 2500 is amazing...The new exhuast is awsome other then the hangers but that will be fixed tomorrow.


There's nothing better then chirping third gear in a mach 1 with a 6 speed!!!!


LOL
