I'm still not comfortable with the "Torque to Yield" bolts yet, when I did mine, I just followed the instructions until I got the the one more 1/4 turn thing, I set the torque wrench on 40lbs and clicked away. Marked the bolt head locations with a yellow paint pen, and it's been fine ever...

A friend of mine down in Houston has a small company that does custom carbon fiber stuff.... if you're interested, I can provide you his phone number. mardyn

If the snake was really that aggressive, yeah, I'd do him with a .22 cal, and move on to the issue with the neighbor next. What kinda' snake was it? I'm at a point in my life where I don't want to kill anything these days... but sometimes, in a case like this, it become necessary. mardyn

That would look absolutely bad ass with the standard GT stripe package done in satin black... Cool like it is though. mardyn

Very nice... does it absolutely require external sensors or can it get most info from the on board ECM? btw.. what kinda' price range are these things? mardyn

I also like the idea for an array of progressive RPM LEDs similar to what used in the digital dashes on race cars... anybody having luck with this so far? mardyn

Fubar, my exhaust system was built by Chad Ernst at Fat Cat Fab (FCF) (formerly Kinetic Speed in ATL) mardyn

apparently, I didn't get as many pics as I thought.,, only one good pic of Steve's GT, and a few of the t/a cooler and fire supression system on Fubar's car. oh well.... next time maybe. btw.. great pics on the slide show Bird, that old black T-bird with the OEM supercharger was really cool...

3 GTs, 5 GT peeps... I took a few pics, I'll try and post 'em tomorrow. Good to visit with everyone out there today. mardyn

It should be a good time, I look forward to seeing y'all over there. mardyn

No, I can't... that's why I'm using the magazine numbers for a basically stock GT. http://jalopnik.com/cars/jalopnik-fantasy-garage/ford-gt-262394.php With the relatively simple mods I have, and a great tune, I feel (I'm sure) my car is significantly quicker & faster that it was originally...

What does FGT Forum think? I'm writing a description of my car to go with a photo shoot (calendar) the car was used in for my favorite girls HS softball team... I've described it thusly: 2005 Ford GT, 600 HP 5.4 DOHC V-8, supercharged with dry sump oiling system & Ricardo 6 speed transaxle...

Are any of y'all planning on going to the Ford shindig over at Sandy Lake Park next Saturday (4-19-08)? SCAT is also hosting its monthly GTG over there at the same time in conjunction with the Ford Picnic. If the weather is decent (which it's supposed to be good all week), I'm going to drive...

Works fine on mine, I've had it on my lift several times, with no damage to the front pan... but be very careful, it has to be on the diagonal cross-member. GT Guy Rich Brooks advised me on this when they were here working on the Dallas GT Group cars, so I feel fairly safe on use of these...

Yes, there are alternative forward lifting points for our cars... difficult to explain, but basically, anywhere along the forward sub-frame from the forward wheel well across to the standard lift point... but extreme care must be used as it's covered by the belly pan. I'll try and find a...

Yeah, me too... I've had mine on the lift for about a week now. Took me about an hour to get it positioned just right, get the arms situated, get the blocks of wood under the lifting points, and so on. Now, I don't want to take it back off until every last thing is checked, and re-checked...

Thanks SM, it all makes sense now. mardyn

of the requirement for RTV/gasket maker between the flange washer and the t/a output shaft. just curious, anybody know? Also, for those that have completed the latest update themselves, did the torque values supplied in the instructions for the updated bolts seem a little low? My update job...

Thanks for all the positive replies... 'cat, yes, the cross over is active and also has some additional baffling to help with noise control. (one of my BIG concerns was I didn't want it too loud) The bottom mount uses the stock bracket off the back of the transaxle and has provisions to...

Old news, I know.... just bare with me. So, this afternoon, I'm all hunkered down under the rear clam shell of my GT, removing the half shaft bolts to complete the drive flange bolt update. As I'm attempting to remove the necessary hardware, I'm simply mesmerized by the outstanding quality of...
