You will eventually enjoy Red to the edge of his/her capabilities... moreso than any kid on the street...that is why we follow your thread and attempt to give you the best advise possible...you will understand with no doubt why I suggested the rear brake upgrade even more now that Red had more ponies!

.eventually you will have a Shelby on a budget!

The suspension....I think that has to do with what you're going to do with it. The kid across the street has an 05-09 Mustang GT convertible (I don't even know what year), loud pipes with some stout undercarriage parts, a little bit lowered. He bought it used, built that way, his dad doesn't even know what it is. What's he going to do with that? Cruise and look and sound cool. He'll never use the suspension parts to their design by cruising. Just sayin. Just sayin.

Ryan, you and everybody here have been SO much technical help and advice (and emotional support) during the years-long build. You'd better believe if I want to do a suspension upgrade it'll be yours AND directly from you.

The thing right now is, the car was much better than the driver even before the major horsepower upgrade. We'll see. If I ever get so good (so much better) on a road course that I think I should think about the suspension, that's what I'll do for sure. It'll be RideTech. No doubt, not a second thought because I know you're on the line for help even when you didn't have to be already. Thanks so much un-met great friend!

Dub... I am just going to say this... as we all know, a great driver can make a pig of a car into a winner, albeit, as long as he is used to it and knows it's capabilities...that will come with practice...but as myself, Ryan and others will tell you, even a great driver will see improvements from suspension and suspension tuning... that is why the Bullet is getting BMR rear control arms... over 500 clams...it got ZZP control arms last year... larger anti-sway bars and all poly bushings... we have also installed chrome moly strut braces and KYB AGX struts..
next we will be adding bigger brakes on all four corners... I of all people know that one has to work on a budget...so take your time...eventually you will have a Shelby on a budget!

Seriously though if you have any suspension questions feel free to PM me. I dont care if it is with my suspension or just suspension in general ill be happy to help. Ive used many different suspensions on these cars so I would be happy to share what I have experienced.

DB, I will clarify... I work in an industrial corn processing plant. We process what is known as Dent corn not for human consumption. We make alcohol both Fuel and beverage. Corn starches, and animal feed. Corn oil and sweeteners also. The corn you speak of is more or less sweet corn. Another variety altogether. My best guess is that those plants are more or less for seasonal purposes.

Which company? Does it happen to be GPC?

I didn't see the link for the video, where is it?

Our finest hour until we get to the track Tom.

Page 74, post 1109. Yes, we are proud of that. We WILL say we are. After all of that....

Holy crap, I can't believe I read this whole thread!!!

Peewee, I love the video of Reds first run! Don't ever say you're not a car guy again my friend. Land speed record holder, run at Road Atlanta, Daytona, swapped out brakes, installed a blower, hunting down gremlins, driving it every chance you get, scaring your wife... You have more under your belt than a lot of people. Keep it up, and don't wrap yourself around a tree!

well deserved Mr. PthefrontpageDub.
