woo hoo! New parts coming in!
Right about to order my intercooler/10psi pulley, Steeda: Billet lower control arm, lightweight radiator support bracket w/front sway bar, heavy duty belt tensioner and front strut bar.
I will be getting tires(DRs/rims) locally for about $850!
I figure it's about time to work on my suspension mods instead of focusing so much on power, power, power.. whats the point of spinning through the entire half of the track on street tires? lulz Sure, it may be good for a crazy trap speed.. but crappy ET!
Gonna work on the torque converter/drive-shaft and go forged next summer.
After that, I am pretty much done with the GT....

Are u gonna order new bolts for when u replace your lower control arms. just curious. Im gonna do that project in a few weeks. And then im ordering some DR's from brenspeed for 679 for the rears. Plus 15 for shipping so not a bad price for some good drag tires. So let me know how the lca install goes. i have heard its a pain to get your torque wrench in there to tighten

You wanna know tough? Try torquing down 245 lbs. + 3 90 degree turns while being inside under the hood on a diesel motor lol.. the bolts, right next to the firewall.
EDIT: I mean literally being under the hood, sitting on top and torquing bolts rol
I may end up buying new ones, or may re-use them. I heard it's fine...

..hmm... looking at their site again, I could have just ordered the handling package stage 1 as well.. though I honestly don't know which is better? The FRPP handling package, the Cobra Jet, or Roush 427R stage 3 pack??
Great price as well.
