[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 15543528, member: 166576"] As stated, shifter and trans fluid upgrade. Im running an MGW gen 2 and Redline D4 ATF. Combined with a WOT Box for no lift shifting and 1-2 grind under heavy load is all but gone. I would call this a manditory week 1 upgrade if you plan on driving this car hard. You will literally have no regrets. Now the WOTBox is a hard wire in unit, some cutting and splicing will need to be done but its not horrible by any means. Had i known of its power as a shift aid, i would have made it my 2nd mod no questions asked. For the record, i have the 2 step launch controller thats built into the WOT box turned OFF until i upgrade the engine lower timing gear, oil pump gears and install thicker 8mm timing chain tensioner pivot posts. After that, a swap to a 2.5" upper SC pulley, 90mm idler and intake should be next. Add a passenger side PCV oil catch can if you can swing it. The sooner the better. I found the factory differential breather had a tendancy to puke diff fluid out after a few runs down the track. JLT makes a very nice catch can that eliminates the issue. A warning about polyurethane bushings: on the street, roll racing, and road course setups poly is fine. For drag racing fairly regularly from a dig, the shock of launching with slicks WILL blow out poly urethane bushings. Every poly bushing i had on my car blew out. Ive since swapped to rod end controll arms. There is noise increase, but its something you'll have to consider depending on what you want to do with the car. Gear whine: if your gears are NOT whining right now DO NOT drag race with slicks yet. Install a Swarr or CHE rear axle brace AND a ford racing G2 diff cover first. I firmly belive that in GT500s, the 8.8 rear end needs some beefing up. I believe the diff carrier deflects under load with slicks causing a poor gear contact pattern. This pattern i believe is what causes the whine issue. biminilx seems to have had great results with the G2 and brace. Welcome to the addiction brother. [/QUOTE]
