    Shelby CS21 wheel

    Ordered the new Shelby CS21 wheels for my GT350. Actually ordered them in November of last year and still waiting for them. Anyone on here have this wheel yet? Thinking of going with the R tire setup. Not going to like the extra fender gap or the car being .5” lower, but it’s worth it for the...

    Pair of 325/30/19 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires - $250 each

    Do you need spacers for these to fit a GT350? I remember reading a post that spacers are needed to mount 325 in the rear, as they rub against the shock mount.

    Problem with Steeda rad support

    I took some measurements and sent them to Steeda. It turns out the Steeda rad support needs to be widened by about 5/8" to fit my radiator. Waiting on engineering for a reply. Probably got one that was welded on the wrong jig.

    Problem with Steeda rad support

    Wanted to shave 10 lb off of my front end. Installed Steeda lightweight rad support on my 2012 BOSS. Cannot fit radiator on Steeda support with rubber isolators installed. It barely fits without them. Do you think it would be fine just leaving the rubber isolators off. Do not really want to...

    uneven acceleration

    Since I installed a vortech sc with a Jon Lund tune, I get uneven acceleration for the first few minutes also. I wrote it off as a cold engine. It seems to disappear when the engine warms up. I don't remember this hesitation prior to the vortech.2012 BOSS302-Vortech SC 2003 Cobra-VMP TVS SC

    More traction needed

    Thanks for the info. I do have Concept One wheels that are 9" and 10.5", so the 305 should fit fine.2012 BOSS302-Vortech SC 2003 Cobra-VMP TVS SC

    More traction needed

    Just installed a vortech on my 12 BOSS and my 255/285 Hancook Ventus V12 tires are spinning under boost. I'm about to buy Nitto NT05- 275/35/19 and NT05r-305/35/19 for the car. I plan on street racing only and not driving in the rain. Do you think this setup is good?2012 BOSS302-Vortech SC...

    MGW Mt-82 Shifter bushings.

    I installed that bushing a month ago. Was not easy with the car on jack stands and by myself. You really have to manhandle that tranny to get the proper clearance for that bolt. Two people would of made the job easier. I replaced the bushing with the old MGW shifter. Big difference in shifting...

    MGW Shifter, is it the Holy Grail for the MT-82?

    I just installed the non-race spec version with the upgraded solid bushings. Shifts great, feels solid. A PITA to get that shifter arm bolt out by yourself laying on the garage floor with the car on jack stands. After dropping the trans crossmember, you really have to yank on the driveshaft to...

    Operation BEAST MODE is in full effect - supercharger install with pics/vids.

    Those top tube couplings suck. Those come off and you are on the side of the road reattaching them. First time one of those blew off, I had no tools to fix on a busy freeway. Now my tool kit is like my American Express Card, I don't leave home without it.

    Operation BEAST MODE is in full effect - supercharger install with pics/vids.Good #s. Just finished installing the kit myself. Not an easy kit to install. I've had 4 different coolant leaks and have blown off 4 different ducts at high boost. I did not know you had to smoke down every freakin...

    LCA Relocation bracket and Sway bar clearance

    Great, just ordered the CHE relocation brackets and adjustable LCAs. Not only do I have to worry about the sway bar, but I might have to elongate one of the holes on the bracket to make it fit. So much for an easy install.
