| Hey guys, my names Mike. Im known on other forums as F8L GT. I have a 2002 Mustang GT that has been set up for the strip. Still running the stock long block N/A. Been working the last 2 years on a face plated trans that I have fabricated all the parts for. Where most stick their money into more power, I spent my money on suspension and rear end. Quickest the car has gone in the 1/4 so far is a 12.55 @ 107. I have had a quicker 1/8th mile that would lead to about a 12.3-12.4 but I cant back that up until I can actually get this trans worked out and make good passes with the car. Mod List: PERFORMANCE- JLT Ram Air Intake Diablosport Predator Tune Professional Products Intake Plenum & 70mm Throttle Body ZEX Power Tune spark plugs MSD 2 Step Rev Limiter BBK Underdrive Pulleys Flowtech Long Tubes Flowtech Terminator X-pipe Bassani Cat-back dumped before axles Solid Motor Mounts TRANS- One of a kind custom faceplated TR3650 Steeda Tri-ax Shifter Steeda Quick relase Clutch quadrant w/ adj cable Stack Racing Firewall Adjuster Fidanza aluminum flywheel Centerforce Dual Friction clutch SUSPENSION- CHE lower control arms Baseline Relocated Upper Control arms Strange 10 way adjustable rear shocks Strange 10 way adjustable struts Stock rear springs Stock front springs -No front or rear sway bar CHASSIS- Jegster driveshaft loop Sub frame connectors SMR Torque box reinforcements Major Weight Reduction REAR- Moser 31 Spline Axles FRPP 31 Spline T-lok FRPP 4.10's Welded axle tubes Proform Perfect Launch Girdle DRAG- Jegs Sport Star wheels (15x10) 28x13.5x15 Hoosier QTP's Jegs Sport Star wheels (15x4) 165/80R15 Nankang CX-668 MISC- Autogauge 5" monster tach w/ shift light Rear seat delete Mach 1 Grille delete and chin spoiler Battery Relocation Line Lock Jegs pistol grip shift handle UPR pedal covers Heres a video of me running a cammed WS6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyBRdkOBHNY | |

| Welcome, I have no idea what the hell you're talking about with this trans business. Get some photos up for the curious (me!). | |

| Sounds like you'll be getting pretty good at rev matching on down shifts.
Welcome. | |

By being quick and firm with your stick theres no taking your time to shift. When its time to shift you have to slam it into gear. I have already broken 2 aluminum shift handles and now Im running a Pro 5.0 steel handle | |
