Hooking questions about newer 5.0 Mustang STICKSHIFT

[James Hill]

At 3620 it has to be an 08+ I assume?

The qtp's are imo junk compared to a normal slick unless you have to run them for some sort of class rule. Stiff would help... Whats your current suspension setup?

it is a customers car....its a newer 5.0. 2013 i believe. Suspension is pretty stock at this point still.........Trying to get recommendations on everything that you guys think will work the best.......

If the rear suspension is at the stock angles, the instant center is way forward of where it needs to be. It needs shocks/struts, rear control arms without all those rubber bushings, and at least the body side mount for the upper control arm that will let you lower the front to shorten the instant center. I'm not a big fan of those aftermarket brackets that lower the rear of the lower control arms, they often get the axle crooked, and I think even the first hole is often too much of a drop. Totally agree on the previous comments about tires, a real slick will make a difference. However it will probably also break the driver side axle in rather short order once you do get it hooking hard. I'd save yourself from the problems now and get some axles in it, as well as pinning the axle tubes to the center, they come loose quite often.
