Working on that with my Durango. I have added rear leaf springs, swapped the diff gears to 4.56:1, and have a rebuilt, bullet-proof transmission with shift kit. Tows 7,000 lbs every day!

Sounds like a beast fer sure.

I'll never forget that start from the back lesson from my Bro.He built hotrods and had a 450 HP 68 Camaro SS.

He had heavy duty everything but didn't upgrade the drive shaft.He lit it up one day and the tires hooked up perfectly ,, then the driveshaft sheered in half !!

There's a guy that I know that lives here close to me that has a 96 (I think) Mustang Cobra that he has spent MUCH money on. His theory is to just keep upgrading until something else breaks and then upgrade that. He's somewhere at the 700 hp mark right now.

Is that 700 to the wheels or from the crankshaft?

He must have a beefy rear end to be able to push that kind of power.

His tune still wasn't 100% and his last dyno (wheel hp) was over 700.

That's probably not the best way to get help on here. 2 posts and already calling people names.

scott the english professor, jako the wako and, well, the little green one here seem to be the frontrunners in the game of "pick me pick me".last i checked. this is not americas army and you are not admins. refrain from your sarcasm for a moment and reflect on these words of wisdom.people come here for answers, not critisism.jim wolfs ecu is the only upgrade for an ecu that i would choose, because it "maps" your load/rpm combo continually. Optimizing begins by addressing the fuel and ignition timing demands required for crisp response during throttle position changes.a magnaflow universal cat back cant hurt,or you could have tonys auto in the bronx swap your vg out for a 300zx vg and throw two straight ram intakes on it. i would suggest forged pistons, lighter retainers and valve springs.eat your heart out, Texas.your

Words of wisdom? Wow, you are full of yourself!

Oh really?

How do you make a universal cat back fit on a J30? Without custom fitting work, it won't fit.

Swap a VG for a VG? Why? If you're talking about a twin turbo swap, it's been done before by others on here. (And well documented.) It's not for the faint of heart. One guy that did ALL the work himself was still at the $4k mark iirc and he was still on the stock transmission. (And was blowing them right and left.) I would imagine having someone do it for you would run the price closer to the $7-10k range.

I mostly don't know what you're trying to talk about...but do you mean pay someone else to do a TT swap? Because doing it yourself costs what? Over $5k? Paying someone else to do it would be way to expensive to be worth it. You could just buy a TT Z for that price. And sell your J and use that money for some mods. Then you would actually have a fast car (with an aftermarket!)

A catback is still going to be restricted by everything in front of it. It might not hurt, but it sure won't help a whole lot.

And if you're NOT talking about a TT swap, that's even more retarded. Swap an NA VG for an NA VG? And then mod the still NA version? Some of the more powerful NA Z32s I know of are still only in the high 200whp. Not exactly braggable. It's enough to be fun, but it would be suuuch a waste of money to buy the engine, then have it swapped, then mod it.

What kind of 'kit' are you looking for, anyway? Body kit? Doesn't exist. Turbo kit? Doesn't exist. Some sort of upgrade package? Doesn't exist. Suspension kit? Doesn't exist. The only kit I can think of that DOES exist for this car is the 60k/120k mile maintenance kit. That's money well spent.

wow. it worked. p.s. it costs about 2k parts and labor for a tt swap in ny. including transmission. some ppl arent crazy about mustang roush editions with 700 blah blah blah. being unique and having a comfort zone in the high 200s probably signals alot more fun than bragging rights to them. swapping a vg for a vgtt from a 300 is worth it to those who are looking for that sort of thing.a gound effects kit. i guess has to be custom made right? just a lip, side skirts, nothing outlandish, just distinctive.

If you're talking about a TT swap into a J, it's not just a direct swap as far as I know. The people that have done it on this forum spent a lot more than $2k, and that wasn't including labor. Most front clips alone run $2-3000, and to be honest, I wouldn't trust someone who would do the whole project for $2k. You'd probably run into cut corners and stuff everywhere.And it's not like everyone wants 700hp, obviously. It's just that you're going to have to spend a ton of cash to get an vg30de to keep up with a vg30dett with a few hundred dollars thrown at it. If you're going to swap a vg30dett into a J, then yeah, it would be worth it if that's what you're into. If you think "throwing two short ram intakes" on a swapped vg30de is going to make you fast, then you're just an idiot. And if you want a body kit, yeah, it's going to have to be custom. Have fun with that...

There is no way. Even just the labor will be more than that.

And a good transmission that will hold that power will be over $3k by itself.

Yeah...pretty much. You can get JDM engines with the stock transmission attached, but by the time you buy the rest of the **** you need, you're going to be better off with a front clip.

This dude sounds like I did when I was 14ish...

Are you even allowed to drive your J yet, big guy?
