Well you absolutly need to get both back wheels spinning, so get some form of Limited Slip Differential (LSD), ie. T-Lok, posi-traction, detroit trutrac, and possibly other terms/types.

Most people agree that for a standard tranny, you'll want to get 3.73 gears. Generally auto's go for 4.10's.

Is this your daily driver? What are your goals for this car.


Did I mention, ?

split port and windstar swap, thatd make a pretty good amount of difference. other than that, t-lock and gears, tune if you dont have it. you have just about everything you can do and keep it n/a. oh and underdrive pulleys, i always forget about those

lol exactly
plus somethings dont make sense

forged crank...only forged V6 crank we can use is the supercoupe...but if he has a 4.2L stroker then as we both know...impossible
plus what the hell are performance fuel injectors, valve springs and having a cold air intake then later stating you have a free flowing filter...clearly Need for Speed was involved
