- DaveW replied to the thread New Aluminum Bellhousing for Magnum XL Swaps.I am geared to approx 78mph in 2nd with the T56 (53-ish in 1st). Since it is a stock manifold, we turned off the rev limiter as it won't pull enough air to hurt itself and banging against the limiter is hard on the oil pump gears (per Lund)... (see full post)
- TeeLew replied to the thread New Aluminum Bellhousing for Magnum XL Swaps.I didn't realize you were a cone guy like me. That 2-3 shift is a proper PITA. I replaced the 3.55 rear in my HPP with a 3.15 so I could stay in second the whole lap. Eco's have plenty of bottom end (I can make 600 lb ft of torque), but about... (see full post)

FastEd replied to the thread Over achieving street/track tires?.I have the Conti on my Mustang and they are definitely a pleasant street tire as far as performance rubber goes. Decent grip at the track too but I did end up getting an extra set of wheels that I put Hankook RS4 on for track days. (see full post)-
..............and by the way Gunslinger, having run the RR ( Spec Race Tire ) it wears somewhat well, communicates poorly , and it butt ugly slow, part of the reason so many drivers in NASA begged for an upgrade. The R is an improvement yet for...

I run them they fit mostly fine a bit of a front scrubbing on the plastic fender wall at full lock at around 1" lower than stock. I like how they handle wet and road use and the taller ratio actually helps with gearing at my local tracks namely...
bnight replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.I think this is just the Street calibration for the street cars. Ford Performance sell a bunch of track specific ABS's. Terry Fair put one on Trigger you can read more about it here... (see full post)-

2012Boss302 reacted to BackInBlack's post in the thread Black 2012 Boss hood decal needed with Like.Well they have a bunch of colors [color table here] (promotorstripes doesn't have an exact match for the black '13 Boss' silver stripes) but I got matte black. (My car is a '12 Boss transplanted into an '11 chassis.) So my car is black on black...

2012Boss302 replied to the thread Black 2012 Boss hood decal needed.Cool, thanks. On your '13, were the stripes reflective? I have a friend with a GHIG '13 in need of stripes (see full post)
