Sanjay,

That sound we here is Soroush driving to Austin I think!:lol

Now with You, Jason and Soroush adding so much horsepower where will it stop. 1200? , 1400? There will be 3 bad mother Gt's loose on the streets and tracks around Houston.

Can't wait till Rally Time, Any of the other states out there want to go up against these Texas cars? Side Bets? :eek

With a stock hp Gt here in Houston I feel like a red headed step-child. ha!

These guys maybe directly related to the price of fuel going back up.

Sanjay, please let us know when we can get together after you get it back.

I like how they used blue tape and matching blue towels to protect everthing and still match the heads! Those steps should make it go faster too.

While everything is being powdercoated, and the car is apart, it seems like it might be a good time to put a Stillen clutch in.

However, my stock clutch with 6000 miles was performing fine....how many TT cars are out there still running the OEM clutch?

Decisions, decisions....

Honestly, I think the OEM clutch is fine depending on your driving habits. I never had a problem with mine, but then I powershifted the car a couple times and that seemed to do it in.

I do prefer the Stillen clutch setup to the OE anyways though, just because it engages much quicker with very little, if any, change in feel.

I don't have a TT setup....yet.....but my buddy (pullied, same as mine) has the Stillen clutch. Besides being a stronger clutch, I MUCH prefer the feel of the Stillen to stock. Way, way, waaaaay nicer. This praise coming from someone who doesn't even have it in his car yet!!! As soon as my clutch needs to be replaced, I'm putting that Stillen part in. As for you, if the car is already apart anyway..........
