[QUOTE="DMassey, post: 7010017, member: 26299"] Those S197 cars definitely hook like crazy on stock tires with good drivers. The suspension is awesome on those cars. I pulled 1.84-1.90 60's ALL DAY with my 06 GT on stock Pirelli's, on 3 different tracks. The best mine ran was a 12.77 @ 108.84. I had a BamaChips SCT tune, JLT cai, Steeda pulleys, JBA longtubes w/ off-road H-pipe, PSI aluminum driveshaft, 4.10's, and cmrc delete plates. IMO (and as was already mentioned), the tune & cai were BY FAR the 2 best mods I did to that car. Also, from my personal experience, the cmrc deletes are a VERY UNDERRATED mod... they were very effective. And [b]from my experience[/b] (cause alot of people say otherwise), the 4.10's were very OVERRATED [b]if you run street tires and your car has 3.55's from the factory.[/b] I ran just as good times with my 3.55's on street tires. The 4.10's improved my 330' times by a tenth or so, but they caused me to make that extra shift to 4th gear in the 1/4. Even powershifting the shit out of it, my trap speed went down and the et was no better. Lost over 1 mpg as well... which adds up for me as I drive ~28,000 miles a year. The pulleys are what they are... a nice cheap mod; just don't expect a whole lot from them. If you can get a driveshaft cheap, it is a nice mod as well. I would just never pay $500+ for one. I caught mine on a sale. The longtubes weren't a ground-breaking mod either. If I'd have had it to do all over again, I'd have just changed out the H-pipe to take the cats off. That's where the power is in the exhaust. I ran stock mufflers fwiw. Here's my ET breakdown (best I can remember off the top of my head... it's been a while) 8.46 @ 84 in the 1/8-mile... jlt cai, pulleys, & canned SCT tune... with a crappy 2.03 60' 8.32 @ 85 in the 1/8-mile... added cmrc deletes & bamachips tune, 1.9x 60', hot air 13.02 @ 106 in the 1/4 @ Darlington during Mustang Week 06 with same mods with sauna hot steamy air 12.77 @ 108 in the 1/4 @ Mason-Dixon with longtubes, driveshaft, & 4.10's in MINESHAFT cold air (negative DA) and superb track prep. The 1/8-mile et on this pass was an 8.26. 8.18 @ 87 in the 1/8 @ Mason-Dixon on same day... missed 4th gear so I screwed up what could have been a 12.69! [/QUOTE]
