I would upgrade. A 3550 or TKO would be good. A T56 conversion would be the best [Smile]

A 3550 would be the easiest route to go.

Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free?

I make friends on the internet that are@Age18

Yes, you read it right, 31 and just as childish as my fresh out of highschool internet friends@31
Oh yeah, this isn't my website, so no one has to ask for my permission to change my sig. Hell, not like I pay the CAFORDS bill, so why should they need my permission to put what they want on their site? We're all guests here. Maybe some of us should start acting like guests or leave?

I was looking at the tko 500. I would be out of about $2350 including the bellhousing, clutch etc. Just wanted to see if there were other options I could take before I spent that money.

A Good used 3550 will be more then enough. Thats what I run and it works great. Don't have to worry about getting a different clutch either. Just need the Bell housing.

you could do a G force T5 and keep all your old stuff. The TKO's are bad too though!

03-04 Mustang Cobra's came with the T-56's from the factory. Just FYI, www.ddperformance.com and sells complete T-56 conversion kits that come with everything needed for the conversion plus a balanced driveshaft for about $2500. You can also try www.ampperformance.com their kit is around the same price range.
