Thought I would throw this up for anybody that might be looking right now. I thought about doing it, but I just spent 2k on a HMS tranny so I will wait till next year. I still haven't made up my mind on what I would like to do too. This thread has alot of great info in it. 98 CSVT E1 Previous Rides 03 Cobra 544rwhp & 585rwtq 10.89 at 135 97 Mustang Cobra P1SC intercooled 460rwhp & 412rwtq 11.47 at 120 89 GT w/347 mid 12's 99 Lightning mid 12's 95 Cobra Low 12's I'm a sucker for speed
