'05 GXP w/ 3.69's - WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, TEP trans installed with some vids

Re: My 2005 GXP: TRIPLE EDGE TAKE MY MONEY

3.69 seems pointless on stock motor you really need to have a valetrain capable of supporting ~65-6700 rpm
 


Re: My 2005 GXP: TRIPLE EDGE TAKE MY MONEY

I don't think a 100+ shot will give two ****s about stock motor :)

And as long as the factory gearing is, this should pull it together just fine.
 
Re: My 2005 GXP: TRIPLE EDGE TAKE MY MONEY

No it won't lol that's what I have right now 100 wet shot, only thing that sucks about NOS is after a few times you get bored with the 100 I'm craving a direct port 250 shot though..
 
Re: My 2005 GXP: TRIPLE EDGE TAKE MY MONEY

with gearing and nitrous its gonna be interesting to say the least!

sub'd for awesomeness.

1 not enough people use nitrous imo.
2 3.69s get a bad rap and i still dont understand why.......

2. Don't understand gearing is good, and how to buy tires that don't suck?
 


Re: My 2005 GXP: TRIPLE EDGE TAKE MY MONEY

2nd gear and up pulls

Dave said 3.69's pull like a raped ape, especially in 3rd with the bottle. I'm not worried about MPG, I'm in the position now where I don't have to get on the highway anymore with most of my commute.

I trust him and his experience with these cars.
 
Re: My 2005 GXP: TRIPLE EDGE TAKE MY MONEY

ive said a billion times not using slicks at the track for example seems retarded and im assuming the point of this isnt going to be running from a dig..... from a roll them gears and bottle im thinkin will piss off alot of other "racekars" haha!!
 
Re: My 2005 GXP: TRIPLE EDGE TAKE MY MONEY

People who don't think gears are worthwhile mods make me chuckle
 
Re: My 2005 GXP: TRIPLE EDGE TAKE MY MONEY

no sh1t people should search what a set of gears and drag radials can do for a damn 5.0 mustang............
 


Re: My 2005 GXP: TRIPLE EDGE TAKE MY MONEY

Or any mustang

Or an FBody

Or honda people that do Si trans swaps

But...it's silly to do on a big v8, fwd car with ignorantly long gears.

Makes sense.
 
Re: My 2005 GXP: TRIPLE EDGE TAKE MY MONEY

no your lost. im saying gears and a set of real tires make a massive difference over stock.......
 


Re: My 2005 GXP: TRIPLE EDGE TAKE MY MONEY

These GPs should've had a 5spd or 6spd manual...and auto. 4 gears is just not enough, why we lived with such things for so long is beyond me.
