Wow! Thought about putting mine on the dyno, might just have to do it now. Interested in hearing what you get Taxguy.

I will let you all know, I am just waiting a couple of weeks for parts before it goes to the shop. I am doing a bunch of suspension work as well, the wheel hop is driving me crazy!

It's annoying isn't it. What are you changing out? I had good luck with the Steeda upper control arm on my GT500.

5.0 Mustang

I test drove A 5.0 Mustang. It was a automatic. Just driving 80 km/hr and then smashing the throttle and I could feel the rear start to slip a bit with the traction control on (Advancetrack). It would be ideal for these cars to have wider rubber on the back or all the way around. Just more grip and lateral support. Even the GT 500s are short of rubber. A Corvette with just 435 horepower in the Grand Sport has 11inch or more of tire wideth

I notice with mine that traction is a bit of an issue, but thats with the 6 speed, and they way I drive, I doubt it will be an issue at all. I guess I'm getting old.

Well, I finally got the work done on mine. Full Ford Racing suspension has completely eliminated wheel hop and really tightened up the handling. I added nothing to engine but a cold air intake and custom dyno tune and she pulled 403 RWHP and 390 ft. lbs. I am very pleased by the numbers, but now I have an appetite for more....

We did not do a base line pull but we figure that we have added about 20 ponies so bone stock it was 380 at the wheels so 420 ish at the crank.
