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...

What is involved in going to 03/04 or aftermarket halfshafts? (31 spline) Will the existing gears work or do they have to change as well? How big of a job is it? Don

I just had my first run with the s/c on mycar and it makes a noise on decelleration. I have never been in a supercharged vehicle before. I assume it's a wastegate or something similar letting pressure out. Is this normal? Don

Well I took the heap for a test ride today. It was right around freezing and the roads were dry so I thought I would try it. I just had forged internals, a D1SC with 3 stage intercooler, 3650 transmission, and 4:10 gears done in it and new FR500 rims and new tires put on. The rims are 17x9's...

Gentlemen, I need to find the Cobra emblem that goes right on top of the throttle/intake. It's just a sticker of some sort. Mine had to be changed when the s/c was installed and the one they found didn't have it. By the way, talk about chomping at the bit. I got my car back last night after...

Well, I ended up having to order new rims for my car. I couldn't get the 18x10" chrome bullits from American Muscle as they are out of production right now. So..... I ended up getting chrome 18x10" FR500's for the back and 17x9" FR500's for the front. The 18x9" FR500 are out of stock right now...

I want to put wider tires on the back of my car but I just bought new tires and rims for it. I was hoping to go to 295/35/18's on the back. It has 245/45/17's all around right now. I can get an 18"x10" in the same style. Will 17's on the front and 18's on the back look stupid? Otherwise...

With my new setup I'm going to need wider back tires and rims. I would like to get the same rims in 10.5" as I've got but they may rub. Do I need to use a spacer and if so what width spacer do I need? I have Toyo T1R's on it now but I don't think they come wide enough in 17" rims. That is...

Well I just got faxed the dyno sheet on my car after the mods. I now have the D1SC and 3 stage intercooler, forgerd internals, upgraded oil pump, dyno tuned, a T-3650 transmission and 4:10's. I was forwarned that because it was so cold and dry here the dyno numbers are a bit exagerated and I...

I'm going to have about 430 - 440 rwhp with 4:10's and a Procharger. I just put in a new clutch before I found out the engine needed work and decided to upgrade everything. Will it last a while or is it going to start to slip right away? I'd like to get a couple of summers out of it before I...

As I posted here last week I'm getting forged internals and a blower on my car. This was prompted by a "rattle" in my engine when it was cold, then it would quiet down and sound ok. When they took the engine apart it had small cracks in 3 of the pistons. I'm glad I didn't decide to wait until...
