Thanks for the warm welcome. I am running an 02 GT 5speed. It was stock, but now it is mildly massaged. 4.10 gears, K/N FIPK, MSD COP's, Bassani catted X-pipe, Magna flow SS exhaust, and a custom dyno tune by the fella's @ Pauls Automotive Engineering in Blue Ash, Ohio. Dyno results at the end were 250 RWHP @ 291 lb-ft torque. They advised me to install a drive shaft loop which makes perfect sense, so since they will already be under there why not add an aluminum D/S? Last thing I want to have to do is leave the little yellow buggy sitting at the track because I dropped a drive shaft or worse poll vault the thing. Of course there is no such thing as a sure thing but you can only minimize the fate of potential disaster. It would not be racing if disaster were not lurking somewhere near by in one form or another. I am working on getting some pictures together. As a foot note, I just returned from taking it to Emerald Isle, NC and I could not believe the gas mileage. I checked my math two or three times at each fill up and I verified that I was getting between 24.3 and 25.4 MPG. I thought at best with a 4.10 R/P, I would get maybe 19 - 20 if I was easy on it. I had to oinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. In case you were wandering 93 Octane gas.
