Without photos, you are just teasing us. :hysterical: If you have trouble posting photos, grab a 13 year old and they will walk you through it (worked for me).

Who did the work on your car?

As to the traction issues, you may want to do some additional work on your suspension with a Watts Link of at least an adjustible panhard bar, and control arms, upper and lower. Regardless what else you do to it, you are going to have trouble getting that much power to the ground. But, if you are going to have trouble, that is pretty nice trouble to have.

Congratulations of what you have done so far. Looking forward to the photos.

Jim

Congrats. I run the 3.25" pulley and it's too cold with stock 18" street tires.

You do not need a seperate tune for the 3.25" and 3" pulley. Make sure you know why they are giving you seperate tunes if they are...

I couldn't help but noticed that your from Nova Scotia, you wouldn't happen to be living in the HRM would you? If you are keep an eye out for an 08 Grabber Orange Convertible (mine). By the way what colour is your Shelby? As for centering your rear end, as was mentioned before, a WATTS Link will definately keep rear inline with your front and it also improves the handling of your car.

I have been running 1/2" lowering mounts for about 2 months with the 2.8 KB.

I took the hood insulator off anyway but it clears just fine.
