In January I bought a new MustangGT 2011 with the Ford racing power
pack.
Car color Sterling grey.
Automatic.
Waiting for the calibration from Ford for the 2.3 whipple supercharger for
the auto.
I like to buy that type of set up.
Also I experience some wheel hopping so I will be looking for a good
fix in the suspension area.
Hope to get some help and good contact on this forum so I can
get a good start at improving the performance of my car.

Congrats. To fix your wheel hop look into new upper and lower control arms and it should solve your issue. I got my upper from Steeda.

rear control arms

Hi 1Low 03 GT:
I use to drive and race a Buick GrandNational 1987.
It a big difference in the way the power is delivered to the wheel traction
and torque.
Okay I have some questions.
Is Steeda a good place to buy those lower control arm?
Do I need the upper control arms also?
Is there a web site which test and show the difference in headers,cat back
flowing cfm numbers?
thanks !

I would think Steeda would be a great place to start. I also think there are many sites that have flow charts for you to look at.

No matter what,those Buicks are siiiick!
Yeah,Steeda wouldn't be a bad place to start.Most of their stuff is designed and testing comes from their very own mustangs,plus they are quality pieces.

Alot of the GT500 guys swear by BMR but I think Steeda is ok at and reasonably priced.
