I think Im going to get them since my bumpers are off the car. Its a 26 lb. weight savings. Along with a K-member, A-arms and racing seats it will be around 90 lbs.

This is deff. on my list.

That a nice project you have. I have seen that video before. Are you getting the same motor and trans or the 3v in the picture? I want the sequential tranny so bad.

My car is having problems shifting at higher RPMs. I heard a K-Member brace fixes this problem. Does anyone have experience with it and will it work with a after market K-member?

How much of a difference did you see when you installed the brace? Did you have a problem shifting at high RPM's? I have been told almost every 2005+ will have this issue if pushing over 450 rwhp.

Your right, he did beat me and it wasnt because my car is slower. It was a handful of problems that added up. Its going to be hard for anyone to beat a mid 12 sec. car with 4wd in 40 degree weather.

I never claimed to be the best driver. Im having issues with the car. Nothing you would know about because you dont have a S197 or even Mustang for that matter. Ask any S197 owner with over 400 rwhp and they will tell you it is almost impossible to shift over 4K rpm's. Even for someone like you who supposedly knows everything about driving. Arent you in the wrong forum? Here I will help you!
