Aloha... I think that if you leave your gears at 3.73's - you're not going to be taking full advantage of your other mods.

You should really consider 4.11's. 4.56's might be too deep. But the 4.11's will help get you closer to where you want.

JMHO... Mahalo

I agree, i bought this thing with the mods it has now and i'm probably going to be "fine tuning" this thing. In other words undoing all the half arsed mods that have been done to it. When i first got it, it had lowering springs with KYB struts and shocks and I think someone wanted to use it as a daily driver. The heater core is no longer hooked up, the A/C is gone, the wiring for the MSD and other accessories are horrible, most of the gauges don't work, the ones that do are inaccurate probably because of a ground issue (turn on lights the gauges change values). So i have my work cut out for me, not a big deal though as long as i focus on one thing at a time. Since it has 3.73 gears my 26" diameter slicks should work fine although, i agree it does need more gear. I was hoping to see the mph in the 1/4 with the nitrous on and change gear from there.
I'm a glutton for punishment so i guess this GT is a perfect match for me.

Sorry i missed your post the first time through and just now read it. Sorry i didn't reply, now i feel bad. What i would do (you probably figured it out) would be to loosen the mount bolt, take a jack with a block of wood and jack up that side of the engine.
Yeah, send me some contact information (email or phone # and i'll contact you before i head out.) It's really fun and doesn't cost that much (compared to other stuff you can do all day). There's usually a few mustang guys there at the track and they are more than happy to b.s. and help out when you need it. I should be heading out there soon.
