Good start! I will say I think the HE is a nice mod, but doesn't add much of anything other than coolant capacity. I've logged a lot of temps and haven't seen much of a gain.
Save money for a twin screw! When you have over 700RWHP on pump gas and it drives like stock, you'll never want to get out of it.

You are tempting me to pick up a GT500.
I just came back from the Shelby factory in Vegas. The Super Snakes look so nice, only if the package cost half of what it does. I can't see spending > $70k on a car that 'may' be collectible someday. For some reason, none of the special edition Mustangs seem to hold there value over the years, so I don't see the Super Snakes holding there value either.

Awesome numbers Sean! Definitely need some tires and then let the ET's drop. You gonna get it back up to the track this year? How do you like the car compared to the vette?
I think it's because there are about 500 different "special edition" mustangs every year, lol.

You're the second person I've heard say very good things to say about those tires hooking up well. I'm glad they make them in a 19 that will fit my stock G8 wheels and I plan on giving them a shot on the rear since there isn't a drag radial that fits.

Honest opinion= MODDED GT500 is better than my 07Z51 but it isn't a New Body Z06...
End all be all would be a Z06 but that is not in the budget and is short a back seat...
Glad I chose it over the New Camaro....
