    This can't be real......Blondestar

    I don't know Dagger....the sad part is I do believe it, I know people like this. I just wonder how they manage to breath, eat, drink, and keep themselves clean.

    Gears VS ET

    I know this has been posted prior but after searching for 5 mins I gave up. What I was wondering was what E.T. did you pick up with what rear gear change? Modded or stock doesn't matter, auto, stick, etc.... Ex 2.73-3.73 .5 seconds Ex 3.27-4.10 .3 seconds I know traction is a issue so if...

    Gears and top speeds...

    The most I ever ran for rpms was 4500 in 5th with 2.73's and 215/60/15's. I figured it was like 145-150 on radar but if you do the math it should have been 160+ or something. The math doesn't account for drag, load, resistance,etc......This was a slight down grade with a at the time mostly stock...

    Anyone do there own rear gears?

    I have some 3.27's gears from a 02GT with less than 10K on them. Don't really need 3.73's...let me know if you want to work a deal (in NH).

    Who has a custom SCT chip?

    I had planned on doing it last fall but money and a couple car issues were keeping me from it. Now the money thing is still here but I really need paint work before my cars body gets any worse. So it's a toss up....but with gas prices the dyno tune might win. Thanks for all the replies...

    That's what I'm looking at....the local dyno shop has the chip and dyno tune time for $400.

    Who has a custom SCT chip?

    What kind of HP/TQ increase did you get? I would be happy with 10-20rwhp gains, you probably saw more being force induced.

    Who has a custom SCT chip?

    I have seen a few people on here with SCT's in there rides. I was wondering how much power was picked up with the custom tune? Once my car has all the bugs worked out I'm planning on going down to see Pete at Performance Dyno. Just curious how much is usually left on the table prior to the chip...

    How long am I in for?

    Project went great, we took about 4 hours but did some different stuff. We installed the Steeda uppers, changed the axle busings, Pro 3i lowers, Eibach Pro springs, Energy Suspension spring isolators, retorqued Trick Flow intake, and the best of all welded the torque boxes in the rear. The...

    How long am I in for?

    Wow 7 views and 6 comments.....I should mention that I will be doing this in basically a machine shop (with more tools than you can imagine) and also in a pit...not under jacks and stands. We have 3X6 boards that run across the pit for jacking if needed. So I might have a slight edge being in a...

    How long am I in for?

    Um...maybe just the rear of the car. I doubt anybody could do 4 springs, 2 shocks, 2 struts, uppers and lowers, with replacing the axle bushings in 2 hours. I know you just did some of this to your ride (I have been checking around for tips and tricks). Anybody care to put time estimates on...

    bad gas mileage

    Prior to my H/C/I swap 20mpg was my low (still tuning H/C/I). I started getting bad mileage so I changed the O2's and was planning on changing my FPR. I bought a gauge at the same time and my FP was 3psi to high. I change the FPR and set FP to 38psi and picked up 50 miles to a tank which put me...

    header question

    Most used headers are around $100 unless powder/jet hot coated. Mac's do seem to make good power but most don't car for Mac. I have them and the only issue I have is the back pass side spark plug is a PITA to put in and I have to watch my plug boots as I have straights and they close to the...

    Can I do a compression test by turning the engine by hand?

    Your engine needs to be warm...just unhook your coil wire from coil and cap and bump your ignition and make sure throttle is open when doing so. It would take a hour to do it your way.

    How to go about removing my A/C

    The only tool needed is a AC line removal tool (cheap) or hack the lines. Other than that it's just unbolt, remove, bolt in the AC delete block to the head and bolt in the PS pump. Really not that hard and you don't need a write up. Take out the compressor, line going form compressor to...
