keeping the 4.56s!

mustangsoldier · March 28th, 2009, 08:38 PM

so i decided today that since im going to be buying a beater car in jan and its not killing me on gas anymore since i moved closer to base, that i am going to just keep the 4.56s instead of switching to the 3.73s. so now that i'm going to return them i will have money to spend at LRS. i am currently thinking about the 50resto tubular upper and lower control arms, a/c delete w/ belt, and a new set of plug wires, which i hate to buy AGAIN but somehow one of my wire boots hit the header so its fucked. anyone have any suggestions on something else to buy instead?

Are you planning on running the 1/4 ???

jessemachone · March 28th, 2009, 09:05 PM

what is the advantage over tubular vs boxed?

mustangsoldier · March 28th, 2009, 09:08 PM

occasionally but not much, its mainly a street car...

93mustank · March 28th, 2009, 09:10 PM

If not much track then keep them....what rpm do you shift at?

mustangsoldier · March 28th, 2009, 09:13 PM

am i going to run out of gear in the 1/4?

lol i have no idea, my stock tach hasn't worked since i bought the car and i just got my new tach in yesterday.

fateisajester · March 28th, 2009, 09:33 PM

wrap your headers... it will cost a little more than boots and wires, but at least you'll never have the problem again

mustangsoldier · March 28th, 2009, 10:41 PM

lol yea might do that

baine21225 · March 29th, 2009, 01:42 AM

mustangsoldier · March 29th, 2009, 01:48 AM
