15" wheel with 03 cobra brakes

[SlowOhFoh]

how much spacer is needed and do you need to cut the stock studs?

[justamach]

from what ive gathered, you have to have a 1 and 3/4 backspacing and a 1" spacer on a 15 by 3.5 wheel. ive not read anything about cutting the stock studs.

[DTSVT03]

I dont think you can fit 15" wheels on the rear. I tried with my old 99 cobra and part of the irs was in the way, we tried grinding the piece that was keeping us from mounting the wheels, but it didnt help. Go straight axle and then there will be no worries with mounting a 15" wheel.

[TurboLSX]

why would a mustang need a 15inch wheel, they hook on stock radials so i cant see why a slick would be needed.?

[SlowOhFoh]

i have 03 cobra brakes on the front...

after reading more, 15" wheels wont fit on irs cobras because of the tie rod.. and it takes a 1" spacer on front to fit a 15x3.5, possibly cutting the wheel studs if you use bolt-on spacers. you can do 1.5" spacers but youre strait messican status then...

the same reason people put cams in ls1 cars 90% of the time...

[1997b4c]

you need a 17 to do it right lol

well im one of them that put the cam in my ls1 car but i also gained 40 rwhp so why would that be a waste? If you could gain 40rwhp NA in your mustang for 400 bucks would you do it LOL.

[TurboLSX]

lol tim if a mustang picked up 40rwhp, that would be a 50% increase.

[The EnforceR]

I remember long ago when we put my cam in and it was cool to see a cammed LS1 car. Now they be everywherrre.

Thats what happens when it isnt that epensive to do and can do it in your driveway in a couple hours. Cant beat the price per hp enless were talking nitrous IMO

[BlueMongoose]

so it only takes 40 hp to run low 6s you wasted an ass of money on your last set up then:taunt:

but you are right the 1/8 mile record on drag radials was broke and reset like 4 times on a stock susp. mustang last weekend so you dont need a slick

[The EnforceR]

Well to set a drag radial record....of course you don't need a slick....you hafta have DRs....silly.

You had to know we wouldnt know the answer to your question on here and there is a big diffrence between those cars and your 04. Not hating at all either there is some real fast stangs out there and on here also. Hell i would even own a nice 93-94 stang to make a drag car out of but would have a gm motor in it ;)

PS: Nice pics those cars look sick.

[crumbie]

93-94? I see a lotbof cammed ls1s run mid to high 8s. Maybe 400 dollar tires would be a better upgrade :)

[2001z]

Ya i agree with the tire upgrade especially on the manual cars. That isnt one of my problems anymore :)

LTMQ,

[justamach]

lol. yep, high 8s it is. thats all shes got :whistle:. i cant hang with yall running high 8s? i guess i bit off more than i can chew

[2001z]

who is yall? what mph are you running on motor?

[WS6Tech]

the same reason people put cams in ls1 cars 90% of the time...

So you want your wheels for the sound they make? lol, J/K

A I/E tuned Mach 1 shouldn't have a problem running a low 8, long as you can cut a good 60'.

[SlowOhFoh]

FR500 cam kit should pick up some nice gains on that mach1 if you can find one... oh and its 650 bucks for 4 cams, springs and retainers... gives the car a little bit of a nasty lope...

david wolfes car is stock suspension... so not TOOOO much is different :P

[2001z]

A I/E tuned Mach 1 shouldn't have a problem running a low 8, long as you can cut a good 60'.

How many stock or even I/E full weight GT's or mach 1's has anyone seen around here run low 8s(8.0-8.20) on motor? Prob a few but i sure havent seen any .Just like i havent see many full weight stock ls1s run low 8s but im sure it has happened.

[SlowOhFoh]

Who runs full weight? i've got a rear seat delete on the way to my house right now... 37lbs out... idk anyone who plans on racing who doesnt take out the spare tire and jack stuff... i havent had mine for over 3yrs(mainly because they dotn fit anymore)...

and most GT's run 74-75mph it seems, per greer i've got a highway killuh 2v car at 79.9mph

I ment for the mach1 but even if that is high i just dont see them running low 8s enless it is 60 footing like a monster in a 3500lb or so car.They only weight reduction i have ever done was the spare tire just been to lazy to do anything else LOL

[DTSVT03]

Not a Mach 1, but my old 99 cobra went 8.20s with I/E and bfg drs. I think it went 85-86mph

[justamach]

BONE STOCK with nitto drs, i went 8.37 at union. cai and front suspension and drs i went 8.14 at shadyside. the past few saturdays ive been trying to get the feel for my car.i put a new tranny and clutch in and i havnt drove it in 2 months cause of all the weather. it feels like a completely different car with the new tranny. i have time slips if you dont believe me

[MrDavid]

I believe the times, but I don't think anyone on here is buying the fact that your car isn't tuned also.

[DTSVT03]

The above times I posted were untuned....also the 99 went 8.41 on some Dunlop sp9000 or something lime that

[crumbie]

tuned. lol

[MrDavid]

I was referring to the Mach 1.

[justamach]

the mach 1 is not tuned. my car has never been on a dyno. you dont have to believe me, but its the truth. it will be tuned very soon though

[The EnforceR]

I don't think Justin has any reason to lie....he as straight up a guy as you'll meet.

[blkstang]

yeah, justin is a honest guy..dont think he would lie about being tuned

[crumbie]

what would a tune on a stock mach won mean? 2 hp? LOL

[justamach]

shoot, i hope a good bit more than 2hp. 10-15 would be awesome. idk if itll happen, but ill see very soon

[justamach]

ill be disappointed if it doesnt pick up 10

[MrDavid]

I'm going off what I heard, nothing more.

[crumbie]

shoot, i hope a good bit more than 2hp. 10-15 would be awesome. idk if itll happen, but ill see very soon

the way everyone is making it out - you'd think a "tune" would be worth 40!

[NEMESISVETTE]

Most I ever picked up from a tune was 5rwhp.

[MrDavid]

This was what I heard

A buddy of mine has a Mach 1 that doesn't have anything but an intake, and after we tuned it, it felt like there was a big difference

[DTSVT03]

My boss has a srt-10 ram, he added a volant cai and had amazon tune it. He picked up 43hp 36tq

[2001z]

My first tune on this car it picked up 15rwhp.

[The EnforceR]

IDK what my toonz got me...we shall see if my tooonz are "right" tonight!

[justamach]

david, what you heard must be about another car. my car has never even been on the dyno. i have no reason to lie about it. i tried using my sct xcal 2 to play around on the mach, but it wouldnt let me because it still has a tune programed in it from my old car. the only thing it would let me do was read codes

[SlowOhFoh]

need to unmarry it from that old ecu... untill you do its locked down.

i've got a predator for sale for cheap if you want to get an unmarried tuner :)

i appreciate the offer man, but i will be tuning within the next week. im pretty sure i unmarried it, but it still has the tune for the old car programed in the tuner. the xcal 2 does not have preprogrammed tune to install. from what i understand it has to be custom tuned and you are able to tinker with it after its been tuned for that vehicle

[MrDavid]

So it has some sort of tune in it other than stock right?

FYI, I had the same issue with a handheld tuner before I got a real tune on my pewter car. I no longer had the handheld, but my car still had that tune in it. I ended up having to go to the dealership and have a stock tune uploaded back into the car ($20) before it could even be tuned by HP tuners.

[DTSVT03]

From he is saying I think he still has the stock tune from ford in the car.

how much for the predator?

[justamach]

the mach has no tune in it. the tune in the xcal will not load into the mach computer. it has a different computer in the mach than the cobra. when you do a tune you have to put the computers "number" "code" "whatever its called" in the tuner and it only works on that computer. when i try to load the tune, it says incorrect vehicle.

he's definately not lying..saw it last night

[crumbie]

mach wons only make 250 rwhp. so who's skeered of a tune.
