The best tyres are the best ones you can afford, don't skimp on tyres if you want traction. Nitto Invo's are fairly popular and well priced2. The gearbox will hold plenty of power, the clutch won't last long at all. Mal Wood has a great range of products for your car3. Process West, Nizpro and Plazmaman have great kits for the falcons, any of them will be great. Do some more research with what mods people have done and the power they have gotten, your figure of 430hp running 18psi with a stock intercooler seems optimistic. If it does in fact make that sort of horsepower then I would say it is only for the first run on a dyno before heatsoak kills the performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of tyres will hold that, what size wheels do you run?As for coolers, Plaz, process west, and nizpro will all help.Edit. Beaten by senna. 430ho should be on around 12.5-13psi max.

Those numbers are no good man, I would steer clear! That boost to power, somethings definitely wrong, maybe unhealthy motor pushed hard to make a figure.Leaving it in 5th-6th and holding it at WOT will load the clutch right up, and that's were you'll see signs of slip first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs an intercooler asap though, that's why he has to pump 18psi to make that much power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
