Mickey Thompson Et Streets 305/45-18
Ford Racing Gears 4.10's
Steeda UCA/LCA (stop the hop pak)

I also Still need to instal my 1 piece MCP Driveshaft (3" Steel)

Any guesses on new 1/4 mile times. With out the items list above, my best was 2.02 60ft 12.16@118mph

I have sigs turned off...so don't know your engine and suspension mods. If you're already at 12.16, you have already fed her some additional juice. I'd say the tires and gears will get you another .2 depending on if you can get through the traps without an additional shift.

Is that the car cover that comes with the RSE? I've not even opened mine. Looks like you like further north than I do. Looks pretty cool. Nice looking tires too. What size are those?

Yes, that is the car cover that comes with the Red app. pak.!!!!!!

Tires are 305/45-18 (29 x 11.50) and I will be mounting them on stock wheels. 18 x 9.5.

Those look like the MT ET Street Radials... Any idea on how they'd perform in the rain? I need to shop for a new set - looks like my stock tires are going to be RIP after another 5-8 K miles unless I lay off the gas pedal.. Surely the new 3.73 gears will help that!!

So far leaning towards either the BFG G force T/A KDW, or the Nitto 555R or 555R2. These MT's look a good option too... but probably sacrifice some wet traction I'm guessing.

TD

Good tires. After going to the strip on street tires, that will be my next purchase along with some billit LCAs and UCA to eliminate the wheel hop. Where did you order your tires?

I actually bought them on ebay. BUY IT NOW! $515.60 w/ free shipping. McCormacks Racing in Mich. He had 1 more set available of this exact tire and size. I shoped around and he beat everyones price by $100.

ebay item number: 130207349670

like I said there is 1 more set left! Hurry and get it before someone else does. I am not 100% sure that these tires fit because I have not mounted mine yet. I read on another site that they would fit on the car with stock wheels.

Do you already have the Steeda stuff on? If not, you may want to talk to them about upgrading if that's really the Stop The Hop pack. They specifically told me this was their light duty stuff and would not hold the power of a modded GT500....much less one that hooks up! I had two different Steeda people tell me that!

Yeah they told me the same thing. I just thought they were trying to up sell for commission $$$$$. I do plan to up grade latter. I want to do a setup kinda like Evolutions Ulitimate lowering suspension. So I will be changing out the UCA/LCA at that time. Then I will sell these ones on ebay.


ALSO: I MOUNTED THE TIRES YESTURDAY AND THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM. THEY FIT NICE. I COULD EVEN GO WITH A WIDER RIM TOO. I will try and post some pics later.
