Hey Jim - The Mickey's are actually doing great. I heard that they don't last all that
long on the street. I'm very happy with them. However, I did get caught in a rain
storm on the way back from the track. The rear end kicked out about 5ft to the left
during the ride home while on the highway. That was an eye opener.![EEK !!](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_eek2.gif)
Just pics I've posted before. I need to spend some time cleaning it up. I'll get some
pics up today or tomorrow.
Thanks.
Actually, it feels really slow to me.
I need another 200rwhp I think. ![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)
Absolutely correct. My limiter is right at 7K rpm. As I mentioned previously, I haven't
really sprayed the KB a whole lot so I don't have all the details worked out yet.
I didn't do any of the gearing / tire height calculations yet. A 28" tire will definitely
be required though. If needed, I'll drop back down to a 3.55 gear. The car sits very
low so I might have to through some different springs on in order to get a 28" tire
to fit.
What tire height though? I guess I should quit being lazy and do the math.![Icon Lol](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_lol.gif)
I would think you'll be very close to 130mph on a 150 shot. There's only
one way to find out.![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)

However, I too have my car lowered very low, and I may need to put different springs on it if I go with a taller tire! I run BFG's on 315x35x17 (ZR1's) when I race and I have the stock 18's when I'm just cruising.
I have been thinking of swapping the BFG's for some ET streets and some 16" drag rims...........we'll see where the spray gets me first!

keep us posted on the progress of your ride. I love the look.

They will be 'a better deal' over the next couple years though IMO when you can get them much cheaper...wouldn't mind having one as an addition to the stable in a few years.

another Mustang unless Ford unveils something incredible. The GT500
is far from incredible IMO.

Sweet car.
Expecting 140mph in the 1/4!?
Good Luck.
My guess, 133.
135 would make me real happy and proud.
How much boost did you run to make that 640rwhp #. 21,22?
Are you running a stock motor still?
Nice car but I think going anywhere near 140mph in the 1/4 isnt happening.
Come over on svtsnake.com we have a few guys in the mid, low 10s trying to hit 135mph.
Again sweet car..

the question with a big shot of nitrous. 140mph might be stretching it, but
it's a good number to shoot for. High 130's on the sauce shouldn't be a
problem.

some weight reduction mods, fuel system upgrades, possibly a few more

a few engine bay appearance mods. Nothing crazy really.
