Here are a few pics of what I have been doing all winter to the 5.0. I decided to upgrade a few things and lose some weight while maintaining the driver integrity of the car.
Added new Aerospace front brakes. Aside from the 30+ lb weight loss the amount of free spin is amazing.

While at it I ditched the heavy Sportsman SR radial fronts for some M&H bias fronts losing another 11 lbs per side. Next I added a front bumper delete. I lost around 13 lbs there and also opened up some air flow to the intercooler.

Also added some very nice Braum lightweight racing seats freeing up more weight.

I had some problems with tires leaking from screws so I decided to go with Weld Bead lock wheels and new MT pro tires.

Then on to the rear. Added my rear bumper delete and parachute mount.

Next I went with Strange double adjustable rear shocks and an Antiroll bar. Both were desperately needed.

Last I switched to HPTUner software to hopefully fix a top end gremlin with the car shutting of we have been battling and added the transbrake relays and 2 step.
Its been a pretty busy winter.
