Default More mods on the way 14 gt!

You can see my mods so far in my sig. I got new rotors for Christmas but had to finish the set by getting front ones as well as rear. I also am going to try out the new High Performance Street 5.0 Hawk pads. I am getting the Koni STR.T orange shocks struts. Lastly I am changing out the prokit for the sportline springs.

Should have these mods installed next week so I will post pics.

My philosophy is that I already have 420 hp. Unless I am going to the track, what am I going to do with 650 hp on the street? I want a GT that is going to stop when I need it too, go in the direction I tell it too, and accelerate at the speed I want it too. For me, top end speed does not apply on the street.

However, a 5.0 that gets 500 hp does sound bad ***!!

What is the safe hp that these cars can handle before transmission or other parts need to be strengthened?

Smoove,

I'm 99.9% sure I shot you a reply in another forum but I've said it once and I'll say it again... Looks great!

What are your current plans?

Looks great with the sportlines!

Fwiw, I'm pushing over 700rwhp and I haven't had any trouble with the stock drivetrain. (but I don't take it to the drag strip very often)
