So what else would you guys suggest to get to complete my build list and I also need opinions on tires, Superchargers, chin spoilers.
Skip those gears with your auto. Your car won't be any faster. Here is a good thread we have going on another site. Proof you can go pretty fast with 3.15's in an auto. WWW.S197FORUM.COM
If you're really looking into a supercharger at some point the Roush one is well put together.
Roush TVS + VMP tune + a good tire is a recipe for mid to low 10's with a tire. All on 3.15's and great gas mileage.
It's cool with the gears I like the opinions i understand both sides but its not all that important to me. Like I said maybe down the road when everything is done I will test different gears out and see works best for me.
The thing is there is testing already done with gears on the autos and they're proving to be worth next to nothing. Now a converter makes a significant difference.
What do you want to know? Currently the only one available is Circle D but it's a billet unit and expensive. Still a very nice piece. A new one is being tested now though and the results are impressive and it will be more cost effective.
A link to a thread from 2010 about a discussion on the manual transmission and gears? Plus the majority of the guys there are totally clueless and frankly complete morons. Keep trying though.
You know I don't know to much about converters . What's the point of them. I basically want a car the is beast and has major power but can still handle well. I also want to start hitting up race courses. For my own personal enjoyment lol. Those tire are sick by the way I do also want to get into drag racing too.
My understanding is that they amplify the power of the car for the initial launch of the car when going from a dead stop and then allow you to keep the high end MPH and pull of the gears after the initial launch.
There's nothing wrong with a centrifugal blower. I wouldn't say one is necessarily better than the other. Here is one of several passes made by Rebecca Starkey, wife of Justin Starkey. He is the owner of VMP and has these autos nailed down perfect. He also used to work for SCT. But my point is with minimal mods other than the Roush blower itself it flat out works with perfect driveability. Rebecca Starkey runs 10.000 @ 138 in VMP Roushcharged 2011 5.0L Mustang GT - YouTube
The Cobra Jet intake will cost $2000 in parts, will lose significant power down low where 99% of us operate, and require shift points in the neighborhood of 8000.
I think everyone needs to stop thinking about it. It will not be for the majority of us.

Cool list, would think about the gears, and the trans setup. Not sure what they recomend for the Auto trans / Gears upgrade. How is the 13 Auto Trans, I have never driven one but I am relly currious about the (step Shifter / Paddle Shift) how's the response? Welcome to the 13 Club as well.

I love it I don't shift it very often but I do place in sport mode when I go hard and it amazing. I love to drive manual but I would trade this auto trans for anything IMO.
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
