    Reached an agreement to buy a FGT...need opinions

    700hp sounds about right with the pulley & tune. That 700hp would not be at the rear wheel. Typically, a GT with such a mod would be in the neighborhood of ~625rwhp and if a conservative 10% convention is used for parasitic power loss to the wheels, that translate to ~695hp.

    To plug or replace, it depends on what kind of driving you plan on doing. If you do street/hwy driving, you should have no issue with plugging. However, if you plan on doing track events or any kind of Mile run, replace the tire. The exact issue happened to me a couple of months ago and the...

    Has anyone re-wrap their Heritage GT?

    Thx for the reassuring input!! I thought these wrap installers use some kind of handheld heater, similar to a hair dryer. Never heard of steam... I'll make sure I'll inquire when talking to installers. Thx

    Are racing gas dirtier than normal 91 octane pump gas?

    That's what I originally thought, but I double check the drop-down menu, and the heading clearly indicates "unleaded".
