So I decided to forge the Mach! Now I just need some help choosing the best internals for the car! I'm getting new rods and pistons! I just need to know should I go with I beam or H beam rods? And what dish should I get on the pistons! Considering in the future I'm gonna put a twin turbo set up on the car! Probably the near near future! LOL! Any input is greatly appreciated you guys!

When im on the road shes fine until i get up into the low 100's. usually 90 and up through 120-130 the car sounds like its gonna fly apart and once i take it out of gear the rpm completely dies. I usually have to clutch it, or just start it up while im flyin down the road??? this is a consistant problem. about 6 months ago i had my mach up to almost 175 and there was no death shaking coming from the tranny or frame and it never died at those speeds. prior to these problems i had the motor apart, installed cams, and some other minor bolt-ons and im wondering if this is something i did, or if something is going out??? Also since these problems the whole inside of the car is like a heater, the tranny, the stick up to the shift **** is burning hot??? tranny fluid good, oil is fresh,pretty sure everything is where its supposed to be??? does this sound familiar to anyone? or am i just retarded?
Where the heck do you get your car up to 175 mph, Daytona?
