The problem is with the soft factory lower and upper control arm bushings. I replaced the lowers but still haven't done the upper yet. I'll be adding an adjustable UCA and some LCA relocation brackets (for a more aggressive LCA angle to increase traction) and should be golden.

I'm also picking up a pair of rear wheels for some sticky drag tires.
Ah yeah. When I did upper/lowers on my 5.0, it made a world of difference. I would have thought that on the new 5.0's they had gotten it right by now, though. Does Ford Racing make a set, who's are you going with?

*When I worked for Ford, we thrashed a 2005 GT 5-speed. It would blow the tires off hitting 2nd gear. IIRC, those were PZero's on there as well, albeit something stupid like 235's, lol. Still, 100whp more needs more than just 20mm more tire.
