Why 3.73s if you don't mind me asking?

I feel like, since the car is my daily driver, if I get caught in the rain with 4.10s, I'm screwed.
Kinda feel safer with 3.73s, idk know exactly why.

Well, I can't say that I don't understand where you are coming from, but I have driven my dad's 09 GT/CS with 4.10s, a CAI/tune, and UDPs in very heavy rain, with absolutely no problems. I am a bit worried about how she will do in the snow, but some extra caution, weight in the trunk, and decent tires will be a fine fix.

I will never drive my car in the snow. I got caught in light flurries once, and that did not go well whatsoever...

I was surprised to make it home alive.
I'll just use my Dad's Charger if I really have to drive in snow.

Really lol? With my stock pirellis with maybe 5% tread depth I made it through most of the winter with no weight in my trunk. And I had alot of fun, too. Only had 4 near death experiences, too.

OK,

Great news, the Tuner and CAI really brought my car to life (love the jolt forward shifting from 1st to 2nd gear)

Next up will either be 3.73's and/or dual exhaust.

Also, does anyone know where to find an Underdrive pulley for a 4.0? Just Curious

Glad to see you like the CAI/tune. What tune are you running, btw?

The only UDPs I could find are these

I'm actually running the 93 Race Tune right now, and HOLY CRAP does the car kick.

And how can an underdrive pulley for a 4.0 cost 200 some odd dollars, when a 4.6 is like 75-100 dollars?

But seriously, does anyone know anything about the Screaming Demon coil? I've heard people claim a ten hp boost just because they were able to open the sparkplug gap up a little bit. Is this all true, or just a waste of time?

Thanks
Waste of money on the coil.
Throttle body really a waste too.

Much more power from other mods and much more bang for your buck out there on other items.

i bought one from Stangmods.com, install was simple. It comes with belt and installation bolts. I noticed a difference in acceleration from 3k-6k rpm, a good mod.

All the others do not come with belts or installation bolts.
