Hoping to catch a couple of stops, Probably Rockingham and Charlotte. Don't have any advice for Long Haulers, but there are some groups on FB that talk about this very thing, if you are on FB.

I have Fitech on my set up. I had an external pump initially and it kept getting too hot and would vapor lock, so I switched to an intank pump Stealth setup from Aeromotive. I did the drip in style and used a stock tank. Have had no issues since. There can be issues with either holley or Fitech, just make sure its installed as directed. The main issue I had with mine was RPM noise. But that is resolved now and it runs really good. Forums and Facebook groups have been very helpful and a lot of good info (if you can get past all the bitching).
There are a lot of good options out there so good luck. Just sharing my experience.

I would check your grounds too to make they have good connection.

I have Street or Track Coil over set up as well. Also have the Unisteer Power steering set up and very happy with all of it. Either way, I would suggest call Shaun at Street or Track and talk to him. Great guy and knows his stuff and will not pressure you at all to buy his stuff, only provide you the info to make your decision.
Good luck.Grabber70Mach reacted to this -

I honestly think you would be ok. You would need a pretty sticky tire and stick it pretty good to break. It will find the weakest link for sure, but that could be anything from tranny, driveshaft, u-joints, etc. I would honestly call Shaun at Street or track and talk to him about this and your brake situation. He does this stuff all the time and has a lot of up to date and first hand knowledge of this stuff and deals with it daily. I bought my suspension from him and talked to him a few times before deciding what to do. He is no pressure and will give you some great info.

Do you plan on drag racing? I would still be willing to bet you are going to break traction before you break parts, unless you just get crazy and get a lot of wheel hop or something. The wheels won't fall off just based on the 9in design as the axles are bolted in at the end vs a c clip design in the diff. I would get some strong 31 splines and the strongest 3rd member you can and go from there.

I run a similar set up on my car. I have the 13 in rotor with Bullitt/Cobra caliper. Running the stock booster and master cylinder and just put a proportioning valve in the rear as I am running disc in the rear as well. I know Street or Track has hardware to bolt that up to your spindle if you needed.

Hey Noah, welcome to the site. Sounds like you are building a beast. What are you going to be doing with the car, cruising, drag racing, auto cross? That might be helpful to know. Also, any time anyone asks about suspension I recommend they call and talk to Shaun at Street or Track. He is great to talk to, very knowledgeable and no pressure to buy his stuff. He will just give you the info you need for you to decide. Plus his product are top notch. I am running his front set up and disc spindles on my car. Have no complaints.
Keep the updates coming and progress pics are always welcome!

Good Looking car. GLWS!

What is your current setup?

Reach out to Modern Driveline. They will have everything you need with different options on the clutch engagement.

I am partial to the Acapulco Blue myself, but I do like the Grey with black hood or strips and an option.

I am using the Vintage Venom Cobra brake kit, it uses a
1" hubcentric spacer in the front and a 7/16" in the rear.
Clearanced the front corner of the inner wheel well with a big hammer. Also cut the outter tab off the bump stops. Stock width rear end as far as I know.
Nice Set up Grabber. Similar to mine, but I am running the 18x10 out back.

What is the rest of your setup, motor, gearing etc? Like 1969_Mach1 said, OD is how you want to drive, but I would think also on your setup. I have the standard TK600 similar to the 17765 with the lower OD gear. But I am mainly a highway cruiser and with a big block, plenty of low end grunt if I need to get things moving.

WOW! That thing sounds VERY Angry!

14 hours ago, Nuzzlet said:What steering system did you upgrade to?
I upgraded to a Unisteer PS R&P. Picked it up from Shawn at Street or Track when I did the front suspension. So far it has been great and I have no complaints at all!
-
That looks great!!! Nice work on all the upgrades. Great looking ride.
-
Very interesting for sure. I certainly don't NEED this for what I do with my car, but still would be sweet. Watching this one for sure.

I installed a ididit column on mine when I upgraded my steering. Happy with it and have no issues, with it. Would buy it again.
What did you do to/for your Mustang today?

BTW, that is a good shifter. That is what I installed when I changed over the TKO600 a while back. It has a good feel and always shifts well.
