That we will find out over time but... I am guessing the OE stuff will work well enough up to 400 HP for occasional use. If your planning to track the car every other weekend... get it all! Bushings, COs, links and you'll probably want to think about upgrading the rear end.

It kinda funny... guy at work has an 07 GT and he's gone thru 2 rear gear sets running 125 shot NOS (low to mid 12's)... you just never know, even car to car what might break!

I would recommend upgrading the links and bushings anyway. The bushes from the factory are very soft, and the links are two thin to stand up to thicker sway bars.

I'm not seein a need for thicker sways with my Pedders COs... I haven't really pushed it all that much yet though either... but, I like this combo as it is!

I plan on upgrading them soon...I want so track times first to see if there is an improvement in my times I can document.

I'm personally going twin turbos in 2-3 years time. To me, it's more about the project car, than the power. So that's my real reason I'm not trading up to SS. I like to build from scratch. And the V6 is just the less expensive way to mod.

Wheels and tires are next. Full suspension in the year 2012. And FI in 2013.

Sounds like a plan!

brAnd7onX · 05-18-2011, 03:03 PM

I would go by the saying "better safe then sorry". I would upgrade everything including the rear end because you never know with these machines.

Maurdib · 05-18-2011, 06:33 PM

IPSJEFF, if someone would have a non stock catback installed would that effect their twin install any?

Pt_killa · 05-18-2011, 08:16 PM

The fact that they're using the stock cat-back means any after market catback will work unless they require you to do custom work on the stock catback. It shouldn't affect anything and it will actually help build boost faster if your aftermarket catback is less restrictive than the stock exhaust.

Nope, not at all. You can use any cat-back you like. Larger and/or higher flowing mufflers will result in more power but stock is not an issue.

Thanks, thinking about going with ARK, but TT is my ultimate direction, and I don't what any install issues
