Other than the axles, is there anything else that is keeping it from a 6k launch? Is it the weaker cobra t56?
Any details on the rings selected (material, size) and perhaps why? Gapless 1st only?
Satisfied with the trade-offs necessary to fit that girdle? Do we have any option that doesn't have those trade-offs?
Is the idea on skipping the ARP lube with main studs being it isn't necessary, or that it could be detrimental? Or is it just that the torque numbers you like are essentially dry numbers, so leave them dry?
4000lbs and 6000rpm launches are not compatible using street type components.Other than the axles, is there anything else that is keeping it from a 6k launch? Is it the weaker cobra t56?

No, you are interpreting things to suit your own viewpoints. First of all Mustangs don't weigh 4000lbs, second they already have solid axles, third they have a plethora of aftermarket parts to choose from.Ok, when you said solid axle mustang I was assuming you meant street type Mustang.
First of all, people with automatic SC's like to lord over everyone else how quick they manage to run the 1/4, and consequently the people who are asking how fast it will go are going to compare whatever I say to how fast they've run with their cars or how they've seen an auto run. All they want to know is if this car will beat theirs or someone else's. I'm not going to answer that.

Its funny, the manual guys like to lord over the auto guys their rwhp numbers on the dyno since they have less drivetrain losses. Cant say how many E mails I have from manual guys telling me about their superior hp. Guess we all have to have something to brag on

hey Dave, did U ever get a good high lift Beehive Spring setup going???
I am doing an ULTIMATE SC BUILD but using SPI Mustangs heads, for my son!
Ok, I'll say this. I expect it to be the fastest manual trans SC. How's that?
I am not on here all that often anymore, so forgive me for this "pages ago" question:
Dave, you said there are nylong bushings in the upper that need to be replaced as they wear. Which ones? Pic or something?
And for the ARP lube, I guess I am missing something. Did the caps not stay tight on it? Did they loosen or just not torque to where they should have?
Last, is that girdle the only one available for our cars? If so, why would someone get it that is going to have to do that much modding to it? Was it on there when you got the car or did you recomend it?

This is a title I wish to hold someday.
