Will do

By the time it gets warmer, I will have quite a bit more heat under the hood

What size tires would you suggest jazzer?

Also, looks like a nice engine you are building there! Whynot get it through MMR for cheaper though? Also, you may want to go with a cast crank since its lighter, and will allow the engine to rev up quicker. (much like how an aluminum flywheel helps in that regard.)

 

Just read that thread on modded mustangs, can't wait to see this build done in person. A perfect fit for your needs.

 

You ARE currently running 9"s & 10.5"s, but going with 8.5" & 10" new wheels... correct? If you are looking to hit corners and have lateral grip, my recommendation would be a set of 235's (f) and 265's (r)

Thanks, but not going to change now, as the engine is being built currently (placed the order in early November). I considered MMR, but my builder is VERY familiar with Livernois and prefers them. I wanted to go all forged, so that I "may" add a few PSI one day. If I do, and very likely I wont ever, I would probably go Vortec and get up to a max of 400~415 HP.

Im actually going 9" in the front. Decided to go with the 10th anniversary rims, because they are wider in the front and weigh about the same.

Atleast youll have a bulletproof setup on your motor!

 

^ yup

If you are going 9" wheel up front, I would recommend a 255 for improved cornering/lateral grip.

So I should only have a 10mm difference in tire width, but a 1" wheel difference? Sorry for all of the questions, just making sure I get everything i need.

 

Anywhere from a 245~275 will work on a 9" wheel, but a 255 is a nice balance between rim protection and geared more toward lateral performance. Typically, two sizes down from the max width is a good fit for a cornering tire. I don't follow this rule on my own car, but just kinda a rule of thumb.

It sucks that Nitto doesnt make them in 255 Im gonna get 245/40/18 and 275/35zr/18. Oh well. Still Much better then what I currently have.

 

You go NT05's and will have QUITE the upgrade in lateral grip! Running that tire/wheel combo, will be of even greater improvement.

Pics when done, homie
