Bought some Test Pipes. Hoping to get them installed tomorrow, that is IF I can find a shop here in California to install them. Then I just bought some nice new Volks that will probably be mounted this weekend, if everything goes smoothly. Then I want to get my hands on the new Stillen headers. Then I want to buy an LSD, maybe Quaife. Then I want to buy a JWT clutch and flywheel combo. That's it for now...I guess, hah.

How do you lose 15lbs per wheel on the rear wheels and only 5lbs in the front? Coilovers remove 35lbs? What kinda coilovers are you going using? which exhaust are you changing out with a ypipe that is 55lbs lighter than stock?

Injen CAI and Stillen HFCs should be here this week!

Going on my HR 6MT

I'll get dynos before and after each mod to see what I get.

Then I'll be thinking dyno tune....

I think there will be VERY few mods for the vq35hr as all the aftermarket attention will swing to the vq37vhr...

He has a GT, the wheels alone weight 21/28 (F/R) and the tires might be more disproportionate. The seats are power seats, etc.

Can't comment on on exhaust, but Ti maybe?

Yeah, I saw that. I'm a little pissed at myself for jumping on the AP so fast now, but on the other hand, if they refine the maps and are willing to work with me I won't really care much.

I keep looking at the brakes that are 10 pounds less per set, but they're not exactly cheap. I was thinking flywheel, but the harmonic balancer being in the factory flywheel has scared me off that one. That's too bad, because I love the aluminum flywheels in my 89 Mustang and 67 Cougar. Now a light weight pressure plate would be super....
I just sold my 67 cougar

There were a number of intake manifold mods and superchargers released for the DE, there aren't any for the HR...

I returned my car back to stock form. No kit, no volks, just stock. Next mod is paint job, amuse kit, wheels, bbk, and possible turbo. All within the 2 years or so. Trying to pay mostly cash and not deal with credit. OK, might take a little longer than 2 years. LOL!
