As far as the suspension goes i will have to do some more research because i have the "saleen" suspension which is pretty nice compared to a stock mustang (comparing to a stock 2001 gt) but i'm just wondering what is still flawed in the suspension after saleen got a hold of it i can see certain things of the bat that are the same but what else to my specific set up would be ideal...and as far as drag i mean i do enjoy it light to light while driving around but 99% of cars that you (meaning I) see on the road are civics with exaust or something to that effect and my car comes with exaust, intake and 3.55:1 rear end and i'm putting in u/d pullys and PI cams in here pretty soon so i definitly have a fun little street car for at the moment! and will probably beef up suspension in the rear, look into t-56 tranny, and BOOST! thanks for all the help everyone much appreciated

i wouldn't do underdrives no matter what build i was doing. Bob Kurgan told me personally that they cause the modulars to overheat.

^ Really? never heard of that. I had them on my car for 2 years, not a problem. My good friend has had them on his car since 2005 and DD's his car and has never had an issue.

you still mad i have had bad experiences with UPR? and i figure that someone like Kurgan who spends most of his time working on Mustangs would know the effects of UDPs more than someone else.
