I got my new Boze Forged rims put on yesterday. They are the "Tach" model. 20x9 fronts, 20x10 rears. The tires are Toyo Proxes T1R's. Front 255/35/20, Rear 305/30/20. The backspacing on the back is 7.25". I'm very happy with the look and ride. I do think they spin easier than the stock...

What is the calculation or logic behind SAE correction? I see that term used and I wondered what the difference is. Don

From reading all your posts I thought you would be the guy to ask. Does your car heat up when you running a road course? I just wondered because my S/C Cobra would start to warm up after 6-7 laps on hot days. The power would start ot fall off and I would look down and the temp was coming up...

See my snazzy new stuff. I got a cover from California Car Covers and painted mirrors from Hubcaps Plus. I think I chose well. Don

Do I have to contact Ford or Shelby to get my certificate of authenticity? I did not get one with the car. I want to know the production number etc and have the paper as a keepsake. Don

My car is in! My car is in!! :banana::beer::banana: Red vert, red trim interior, no stripes, no shaker, no nav. Just how I ordered it. I think I'm picking it up tomorrow. The salesman is trying to get them to push it ahead. My JLT stage 1 kit is in the country as well. Of course the snow...

It's arriving the week of Dec. 17th. YESSSS!!! (Red convertible with no stripes.) I will guarantee that the snow will begin on the 17th and I will have to rent a trailer to go get my car. I guess I should have ordered one sooner. But then again....YESSSS!! :banana::beer: Don

Will the SCT tuner that comes with the JLT/EVO combo also allow adjustment for tire size changes etc or does it just put the tune into the cpu?

Are you guys pleased with these tires or are there better options out there? I have Toyo T1R's on my Cobra and have been fairly pleased. I'm just wondering how the Goodyears stack up. Don

What brand and model are the stock tires that come on the GT500? Don

I'm thinking of taking the plunge and ordering an '08. Are there any inherent problems with these cars? I did a search and got nothing significant but I thought I would ask. Do these engines have forged internals? What is a realistic bone stock 1/4 mile time? I drove one today. It was...

I went last night and paid my $20 and tried my luck. It was a lot of fun. My reaction times got better as I went. 1st run .728. Last run .111. I struggled to hook up though. I like my Toyo T1R's for the street but I couldn't launch very hard. My best 60' time was 1.978 and my best run was...

I'm trying to change the pads on the rear brakes and I bought the tool for turning the caliper in to make room for the new pads. I have turned and turned and turned and it will not go in. In fact it has not moved. And yes the parking brake is off. I can't even get the old pads back on to get...

I just had my engine done with forged internals etc by Sean Hyland. I am very happy with what he's done for me. I had the crap scared out of me on Friday though. I'm driving along and all of a sudden I have no oil pressure on the gauge. :uh oh: I was about 200 yards from home so I drove into...

I have never been to the drags before and I'm looking for a little advice. If you read my set-up below, what kind of rpm do you think would be right to launch at? I have 295-35-18's on the back but they're street tires. I thought about 2200 to 2500 rpm would be about right. I realize it...
