    Will I need a cage?

    If i recall, you need a cage starting at 13.49? I haven't taken my car to the track yet, and have no idea what it will run. Its a 5speed, has stock gears as of now, about 360-370 rwhp and stock weight. I've played with a few STI's and evos which I know run around that time and I keep up pretty...

    How much are gears worth?

    4th runs out somewhere near 130 i think, (not really watching the spedo when going this fast) and im sure im not going to be trapping anywhere near that high. I have no idea what kind of gain to expect as most people get gears as one of their first mods, not after a new engine and supercharger...

    For all of you asking "Do I need to get C/C plates if i lower my car?"

    It looks like it was a bit low on pressure too? They look kind of cupped.. I dont run any cc plates and am fine (did the alignment myself), but I use a steeda bumpsteer kit and x2 balljoints which help out. Everyone should get an alignment done after lowering their car, but the suspension...

    Valve cover differences

    I believe the 94-95 covers were a bit shorter to clear the elbow in the intake manifold. The placement of the oil fill tube is a little different too if I recall. Im running fox covers on mine and had to move (bend) the fill tube a bit to clear. I have a .5" spacer (I think, it may be taller)...

    How much are gears worth?

    Anyone have an idea of how much time in the 1/4 you gain by going from 2.73 to 3.55 or 3.73's? I tried searching as i thought i read it before but couldnt find the post? Im especially interested in the case of my car as I have about 370ish rwhp and stock gears. At 90 im around 2500 rpms which is...

    Getting gears, should I get a rebuild too?

    These prices include all parts and labor. I've called around and this seams to be the best prices around. I really only wanted to pay like 5-6 for everything, but I guess im out of luck? Either way, should I get it rebuilt too? Or should I just swap out the gears and maybe the bearings?

    Getting gears, should I get a rebuild too?

    Hey guys, im finally getting some gears in my car. I think im going with 3.55's instead of 3.73's but have not decided yet. The rear is stock as of now, and has 108k miles on it. Should I get it all rebuilt while im getting gears? I never have a problem with it not spinning posi, and there are...

    Will my tune still be good?

    Hey guys. I don't know a whole lot about tuning. I know some of the basics, bu tnot in this case. My car is currently tuned (custom burnt chip) for 6psi. If I up the boost a bit, should be tune be ok still? I have plenty of fuel (255lb in tank and t-rex inline) and injector to handle the power...

    Fuel Pump Problems.

    The pump doesn't stay on with the key off. The problem is that the fuel pump doesn't turn off when it reaches presssure. Like when you turn the key to on, the fuel pump only runs for a second. His runs constantly no matter what, untill you turn the key off. When his car is idling, it stays at...

    help with my beater car. No heat, electrical problem

    Hey guys, I have an 88 olds cutlass ciera for a beater. It was ok, until it decided to not have heat anymore. It blows the fuse (25amp) as soon as one is put in, and the key is turned to "on". Here a link to the wiring diagram: http://www.autozone.com/images/cds/gif/large/0900823d800f4040.gif...

    Electrical Problems

    UPDATE: I took out the fuse for the brake light and it made no difference. Im thinking now it might be that my alternator is starting to go. What are some signs of an alt dying? I tested the battery terminals at 14.83-14.85 volts with the car idling, and 12.93 or so with it off. Could a bad...

    Electrical Problems

    Hey guys, my car is having some wierd electrical problems. The voltage, water temp, and oil pressure gauges will all jump around a little bit, and when I hit the brake I can notice the gauges moving up a bit (except for the volt meter which moves down a bit). Another wierd thing is that I...

    Vortech T-Rex pump question

    No FMU, Yes the vacuum tube is on. When my car was on the dyno, it was dropping fuel pressure at 4500 rpm's like I was saying. It goes from around 45psi down to 20ish at 5k rpm's. My tuner is the one who said I needed the inline pump. The guy before me put the in tank pump in, so it might be...

    Vortech T-Rex pump question

    It put out 350hp and 365lbs of torque at 4500 rpms when it ran out of fuel. I have 36lb injectors so they should be fine. Im running 45psi of fuel pressure, and it starts to drop at 4500 rpms, and eventually gets down to like 10 psi at 5200.

    Vortech T-Rex pump question

    Hey guys, my car is still up at the dyno and the only thing holding it back now is that its running out of fuel around 4k rpms. My dyno tuner suggested getting a t-rex and that if I can (which I know I can) install it myself to save money, then have him double check the tune once I get it on...
