I'm thinking about getting a T-Lok but had a few questions first. Now I'm no mechanic but I would think that the T-Lok would rob some power since it's making your car turn 2 tires instead of 1... is this correct? Also, how expensive are they and what all does installing it entail? Thanks.

the 7.5 rear end t-lok runs over 200 at americanmuscle.com. i dont persoanlly have one becuase from what i've heard to get the full potential out of one you'l need gear and a tuner for the gears becuase it throws your speedometer off. but a tuner does several other things as well.

You don't need anything other than a t-lok to get full potential out of a t-lok, it would be BENEFICIAL to do gears at the same time.

worded wrongly. excuse me

no you wont lose any noticable power, and it will be much more benifical cause youll actually be able to lanuch it without one tire spinning so easily. i mean hoenstly i think GT's get less spin off a luanch the a v6 mustang without a tlok

[01stangV6]

well they should. they have 17's, and if im not mistaken gt's came stock with a t-lok.

A T-lok will not make power, and it will not lose power. It will put the power your car makes to the ground in a more beneficial way (more traction) while retaining the ability for one wheel to turn faster so that cornering is nice and easy.

And if you are no mechanic then you will want to pay a shop to do it for you. The tolerances are VERY small in the rear end. If you mess up you can either get a whine when you drive or broken gears. Both of which are bad.
