First: I'm gona do sn95 brakes all the way around (factory brakes suck with a 347).
Which means 5 lug wheels. I got a set of sweet 18 inch 2007ish gt rims. My car is currently dropped and has 17s on it and the front rub pretty good. Should I go with stock replacement springs or say 1 inch drop springs?
Second: does any one know of any tricks to band aid some more life into a T5? I know a google search will net a ton of info but it seems all over the place (one thing is for sure that they are NOT a strong tranny). I'm not running a drag tire. I know a billet countershaft plate helps, maybe thinking about a beefed up input
shaft.
I'm not ready for a tko or T56's tho one day I'll be buying one since I got twin hair dryers for the car and working on a dart block combined with a fully forged eagle rotating assembly/afr heads etc. some make for 800hp easy. Man I sure love having a ton of projects. Starting to feel like 410customs. Hehehehehe
