    PypesOR H-Pipe

    You will likely have to have them welded inplace. Here is a big selection: http://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch.asp?Ntk=KeywordSearch&DDS=1&Ntt=resonators&searchinresults=false&N=+115

    PypesOR H-Pipe

    Resonators are just straight thru pipes with some baffleling inside to help alter the exhaust flow. Basically, they do add some restriction but very little, much less than cats. However, they will change the flow just enough to eliminate the trumpeting caused by removing the cats all together...

    PypesOR H-Pipe

    This sound is what most people refer to as "trumpeting". It happens from removing your cats when you go to any offroad midpipe. The only mufflers that get rid of 99% of it are Corsas. Otherwise, you'll have to live with it, or have some 12" to 18" resonators installed after the H, on the...

    403hp at rear wheels no super or turbo

    BBR, de javu- LOL! I wonder if ol' dude meant crank hp...... I would buy that, but NO WAY "at the wheels" like the title says.

    elec. fuel pressure gauge

    There is no place to access the fuel rail like in previous years...... you either need to buy a fuel rail adaptor guage kit or splice into the fuel line. Here is a link to the fuel rail adaptor: http://rpmoutlet.com/05gtfuel.htm. I bought one of these and couldn't use it because I have the...

    403hp at rear wheels no super or turbo

    What's so secret about the intake manifold that you can't post a dyno sheet or some track times? It's not like you'd be showing us a photo, schematic, etc. of the new FAST piece. I'm glad you got a sense of humor about it, because obviously you knew that coming on and posting about high...

    403hp at rear wheels no super or turbo

    Blow By Racing. About a year ago they were involved in a claim where a car supposedly had like 380 rwhp using their cams, bolt-ons, etc. A dyno sheet was shown that looked suspicious and some forum members offered to pay for the car to be dyno'ed at an independant site, which never happened...

    Paxton S/Cer on GT

    Stay below 500 rwhp (475 is as high as I'd go) and make sure you have good fuel, timing in the mid teens, and a strong reliable fuel supply system and you should be fine. Oh, and don't forget common sense..... you can have the best setup in the world but dumping the clutch at 6000 rpm still...

    Does this guy work for BBR??

    4.30 too big for supercharger?

    I wasn't referring to the powerband so much as I was referring to the additional overall torque produced by the turbos / TS compared to the centris. The additional torque, albeit at around the same rpm range, will make a steeper gear seem even more steep and traction hard to find.

    4.30 too big for supercharger?

    Well you have to consider the type of blower...... for example I'll be using my 4.10s with the Vortech system and I think it will be a perfect match. If I was running a twinscrew or turbo, I would probably back down to 3.73s.

    How much power with bolt-ons?

    Only time will tell, that's for sure...... My own opinion is that it will be really hard to get over 360 N/A, and that's with cams, heads, and even a compression raise but keeping stock displacement. Of course I'm referring to rwhp, not flywheel.

    X Pipe or H Pipe

    It shouldn't...... I think the Cervini's kit works with the factory midpipe so you should be good to go.

    Hi Everybody!

    Mostly stock? Sure........ :rlaugh: Have fune with the car!

    Dyno results Underdrive pulleys

    I was just going to compliment both of you for going with 4.30's. That's the only thing I wish I would've done differently with my car, but it may end up being a blessing since I'm looking at a blower and the lower gears are just going to make traction even harder. BTW, if your chick would...

    Dyno results Underdrive pulleys

    Ok, I gotcha now! :D I would do the pullies- your car will rev quicker, plus when I added mine I got 2-3 more mpg so that will help with your gears. I don't know about those pullies from LFP, but I know you can get the Steeda pullies for $199 delivered from Brenspeed and I have no problems...

    Dyno results Underdrive pulleys

    Great mods! Its just my opinion, but with those mods I doubt you'll find the pullies to be a huge difference- I know I didn't. I had intake, tune, offroad pipe, and 4.10s and when I installed my pullies, the car revved faster and therefore seemed to excellerate faster but I wouldn't call it a...
