New guy here saying Hi

[dave377]

I am a 57 year old male with a 97 v6, auto, mustang. It has a supercharged super coupe engine in it with a 10% over pulley a 70 mm mas air and 70 mm tb and dual exh. I am getting ready to install a 8.8 rear with traction lock and 373 gears. I think the change from 273 to 373 gears should make the car feel a little stronger. It seams to run pretty strong now but I think it will be much better after the change. I just hope it is not to much gear for the super coupe set up for street use. I would like to change the converter to around 2500 rpm and redo the valve body but that will have to wait. I also was wandering if I should have the trans reprogrammed after the gear change.

Thanks
Dave377

J mod is the way to go, I was going to do a B&M shift kit but after reading the tech write up by the Ford engineer i have decided to j mod it. That guy is one of the orig desighners for Ford, he knows what he is talking about. The write up is in the Forum somewhere but I copied it on a word doc if you want pm me your email and I will send it to you. Also a high stall converter is going to raise your trans temp. unless you have a cam that needs the eng. to tach up before it makes power I would stay away from that unless you are dragging it at the strip. you are right your gears are going to make a huge difference. they are the best dollar/horsepower mod you can make. You may tach up quick enough with them to cancel out the need for a high stall converter. Do you have any pics of your engine swap. I had a SC tbird, great car. I bet that motor pushes a stang pretty good huh?

welcome aboard. Was going to do a supercoupe swap before I did mine.


I bet it's sick.

The gears will completely wake the car up and will not be too much. In fact you might be wondering why you didnt go with 4.10's

Yes Framda it does pushes a stang pretty good; I enjoy it. I will get some pictures on here soon

Welcome Dave.

I sure liked the feel of my car after doing a stall. Also agree on the Jmod. did that to mine as well./

Enjoy the forums, and we'd love to see some pics of your ride.

Well guys I got the 7.5 rear end out last night, I had to cut the two lower rear control arm bolts because they were froze in the bushing. I will go get new bushings and bolts today. I also noticed that some one has cut the coil springs to lower the car and I like the way it sets & looks but it will beat you to death when riding on ruff roads. I am thinking about get new lowering spring for a V6 may it will ride better then. I will be cleaning up the control arms and the disk brake assembly along with the dust shields so I can get it ready to go back together with the 8.8 and 373 gears.
