Welcome and what wheels and rubber have to shod your beast with to put all the power down? Looks like you have used alot of Steeda products and they do a nice job on Mustang upgrades. Glad to have you on TMO!

Just street wheels and tires right now. 20s on NT555G2s. My next big investment will be Apex 18s and Geforce Rival S 1.5.

I think I'm done with the suspension and powertrain....for now, lol

I ran a few sets of Rivals. They're not bad. But I found the Goodyear Supercar 3s are better, even the non-'R's.

I would probably skip the Rivals as BFG is not aggressively participating in the Track/Autocross wars like others and the Rival S1.5 is not near the top of the heap as much anymore, though they are pretty good for a dual purpose tire ( autocross and track ). I have run BFGs many times over the pas 42+ years and they seem to get involved in the aggressive tire competition , do pretty well and then seemingly drop out. You might call Luke Pavlik ( extra. 4362 ) at Tire Rack , though do it soon as he is running " One Lap of America." He has been at the Rack for 25+ years and tracks and autocrosses himself so you get a real Trackrat who knows what is happening and what is coming. He can give you a solid idea on what might work best for your SC'd beast.
