Also coming aboard to help with the Pinks All Out project car is Mike @ Wolfpack (www.Wolfpackspeed.com). His shop will be building a complete 8.8 and help with some of the welding and tuning of the suspension.

Im very grateful to have Team Z & Wolfpack in my corner for this project. Im very confident in both of their shops parts and abilities. Big thanks go out to Dave & Mike for coming aboard!

Those are two great shops to work with!

Hi guys,
I have a Liberty Gear Proshifted TKO in my Mustang and I drive it on the street. It's jerkey, whiny, and you have to double clutch it to prevent it from grinding on the up and down shift but at the track it's the best investment I've made. I def wouldn't want it in a car that's street driven regularily, that's for sure. I'm actually thinking about looking for a trade for a stock TKO because with the 2 babys in the back seat it's not much fun driving to cruises or shows. Just my .02.

This may be true with an off the shelf cam but I have a custom cam spec'd for my exact combination and it will make max h.p. at all usable rpm.
Big Stroke and lightweight parts =

I have thought about this and still continue to do so.

I do have an agreement to purchase a Liberty Face-plated TKO 600 right now at a very agreeable price that would be very hard to pass up so I am leaning towards the stick.

Im sure the car would be much, much faster with the auto but it's hard for me to give up what I love (stick shift). With a stick its much more of a challenge to get a good 60' and to nail all of your shifts down track.
Auto's just dont impress me.....like a fast stick car does....:)

**yeahloh95** · 02-06-2010, 03:14 PM

i just think its going to be hard to hook up a 8000 rpm stick shift launch where an auto might not hit the tires so hard , and trust me i like sticks as much as anyone

Sponsors? Isnt sponsorship usually based on your abiliity to get the job done and get the sponsers products noticed?
I would think that would be reserved for class racers and such.

**gmkillr** · 02-14-2010, 02:20 AM

Picked up a few parts today and heres a shot of one of them.

Look man i'm not going to sit here and argue in his thread because i made a simple post implying that it's cool he's got people helping him with this new setup. I'm pretty sure he understood what i meant. Sponsorship probably wasn't the best term i could have used, next time i'll be sure to put a little more time into my posts to make them easier to understand

On a more positive note... I'm curious to see how badass this thing ends up turning out.... better not get scared of this one :)

You need an aftermarket engine managment system like (FAST) or (BS3) to run those as there no way to run a MAF meter when using them.

I might be looking into one of these systems but not now, possibly next off-season or so.

EMS's are wild. It's pretty cool being able to change every parameter of my car on my laptop... I actually had a guy helping me with my idle, remote desktop onto my laptop from out of state and spend about an hour helping me set up my tables correctly... gotta love technology.
