My # 1 FI Daily Driver Advice...24 Years Experience

[EgoBoost]

Buy an extra set of matching rear wheels and MT ET Street SS tires. When the weather is dry, throw the drag radials on, and enjoy that shit eating grin

You’re welcome! :cheers:

Agree. I hate seeing people spend so much $ on power that they can’t effectively use. Here’s my setup:

24 years of FI huh? Then you can answer ALL my questions haha. I want to run about 650-700whp. What modifications from most important to least important do I need(Planning on p1x procharger beefcake tuning kit) Clutch, fuel pump, axles, driver mod, suspension, haha. There are so many posts about FI and setups that I figured why not ask. And obviously tires are a whole nother story....

I don't have 24 years experience but I do have about 10 :cheers:

My car lasted a year on the stock clutch ( and axles at that) at 700ish-rwhp. I would get good suspension, first and foremost. Then depending on budget go for the clutch and axles. they're both equally weak so you might as well do both lol

I choose AWD for the best daily FI experience, lol. The new Audi RS3 is a bad little car.

I’m on my 16th mustang but none of them were your S550 platform. I would defer to terry (beefcake) for quality advice specific to your vehicle. I will however offer my .02...

1. Sticky tires for traction and so you don’t lose control and kill yourself, anyone else, or your car.
2. Clutch/Flywheel/1 piece driveshaft, Shifter
3. Billet Oil Pump gears/crank sprocket, ARP Crank Bolt, Off road H-Pipe or LTH
4. Top notch tuner. Palm Beach Dyno is my recommendation. Lund is an option as well.
5. Run E85, or 93+Boostane/Octanium/Torco. ID 1000/1050 injectors with Fuel system for E, or BAP for 93 + booster.
6. Safety items: DS Loop, 5 Point Harness, Roll Cage, Fire Extinguisher
If you have Brembos you should be fine with those. Consult Terry for suspension.
Best of luck.

Wrecked one of my Mustangs back in ‘97 with DR’s during a slight drizzle, going 35mph driving over a slight dip in the road. This is why I have 2 sets of rears now. Lol

Is this a cultural difference? Here in Australia, most of us fit blowers and the like to be able to DESTROY tyres at will... if it ain’t spinning, I’m not grinning..

Whipple stage 2. Anything over 5k gets scary dangerous on MT Sport comp street tires. They are 100% worthless for planting power. Living on an tropical island Maui, I went with Nitto 555R 305/35/20 drag radials, stickier than summer tires and wont kill me when I get caught in the rain. For the street I have had great luck with them before. For the track its MT SS every pass.

And thank God for amazon prime. Shipping for 2 tires from every retailer out there was $200+. I joined amazon prime and got them shipped for $37 !!! Woohoo

indeed they have but I consistently see wrecked cars from DR+rain. My experience was during a slight turn which added to it.

those don’t come in “19 for some dumb reason. Good to know about Amazon.

Curious how these will handle 900+ on the street....

Right now I am running ET Street R Bias Ply and want something more stable to play in with my hood rat friends.
