Now I'm starting to worry about this ticking coming from the motor. It sounds like a rocker/lifter problem but Im gonna have to wait till I get home to find out for sure and I go any further with this nitrous.

i am putting in an 8.8" rear from a gt stang and frpp 4.10s. that way i will have a very strong posi unit and good gears. i think i will get the xcal 2 by a month or so and keep saving for the gears.

i heard good stuff about rpm-mustangs, and i am going to start looking into cams. i want a fairly agressive but streetable cam to go along with my gears. i have an auto btw, and i was thinking about 4.30s for a while, but maybe 4.10s would be better (i travel highway to work)

Nice, Im fairly confident the 7.5" should hold on these new tires, if not

i dont care about the idle myself, i just need more low and mid range power- mid range mostly. my car pulls hard above 4k rpms, but i need more pull at the 3k-4k mark. that is another reason why i want gears- to get to the powerband quicker

His car sounds WICKED nice! As for gears you will be happier with 3.73 on a manual tranny(sorry bro) The auto sixes like the 4.10's but a manual is so much happier with 3.73's

I was leaving the cage today (huuuge campus parking lot for residents) and I pulled up to a stop and the idle dropped down to about 600 for a second and some people were walking by looked back and I heard one guy say to his bud, "God damn that sounds nasty"
