Beautiful car! GLWS!

Thanks!

So, the car is almost done at Lidio's with the rear end. Turns out I had 3.31s and will have 3.73s. How much if any does that help me in that race against the BMW?

Lidio recommended the Kooks 1 3/4. Pretty sure he can do them but he's several weeks out on them.

Thinking of putting on some Kooks 1 3/4 headers X pipe and cat back. Any recommendations on a good exhaust shop in the northwest Oakland/NW Macomb county area?

That's an incredibly great price for a phenomenal piece of machinery! GLWS!

Well, dropped off the car at Lidio's and getting the 3.73s and the J&L oil separator. Pretty excited!

Yea, that's the truth and partly what's fueling the HP wars which benefits us all. Only a few years ago it seems, 662HP was an insane number. Now the Shelby's approach 800, the Mopars have some 800HP cars and GM is loading up a new ZR1 supercar that's rumored to be in the 800HP range. How soon...

Thanks for all the info everyone. Learned something new about those cars.

Yes, I have a 2.4 pulley and a tune. Mods in my sig. Need more I guess. Cha Ching!

Was just driving home down a pretty open two lane road and a BMW comes up to me with the usual loud BMW exhaust sound. I typically stay away from street racing but it was later, the road was ride open, the temps were cool, so I figured what the heck. I've raced a few BMW M classes before...

I ended up getting a J&L one to support Lethal Performance. This is the one I got: J&L 3012P-C 2007-2014 Shelby GT500 3.0 Passenger Side Oil Separator (Clear Anodized)

Thanks Vinnie! Looking at this one from UPR. 10-14 Shelby GT500 5.4 5.8 TVS Passenger Billet Oil Catch Can Do I need the one way breather, replacement o-rings, magnetic drain plug, and drain line kit? Edit: Didn't even see the link you provided. So just order that one and I'm all set? Going...

How important/necessary are catch cans?

Thanks for the link!

I have a 2013 Shelby GT500 Race Red with White Stripes. Is it okay to use a clay bar on the stripes, or will it damage them. Do I need to be in the shade, or is it much better to do in the shade?

Thanks and no. I don't think I'll be adding much more HP but then again, doesn't everyone say that? LOL! I need to call him and get the rear gear done and see how it performs with that and these new tires.

Yea, that's way more than I want to pay. Think I'll focus on tweaking a little more horsepower and also work on the suspension.

Thanks! So basically, buy that kit and then I'd pay the installation and tuning costs?

Okay, thank you for the info.

So, rather than create a new thread I thought I'd piggyback on this one, which is a great thread BTW. Say I want to upgrade my rods because I know they're the supposed weak point of the Trinity, what is involved in doing that and do I/should I also upgrade the pistons? Is this something I...

Wow, night and day difference. Was just out doing a few pulls and even at 60 degrees I was barely getting wheel spin! I feel like I added 2-3 tenths just with better tires.

Getting the Nitto NT555 RIIs 295/35/20s installed on Monday. Can't wait to see how they perform.

Yea, while I like the wider look, size of the contact patch is more important. I need more traction.

Thanks all. Will probably just go with the 295s.
