    need help.... 04 gt with my novi 1k and a horrible dyno

    I have a novi 1000 also. Its a great little blower and can make a good amount of power. When I first got mine installed it had all kinds of issues. I made < 300 hp also. The stock paxton tune was crap. They didn't have SCT back then but I worked with Ed Clark, who is friends with Chris Johnson...

    Why is my steering sloppy? Is it the rack and pinion?

    I have the same problem. Sloppiness for the first few degrees turning the wheel left or right. I don't know what the solution is, but I also suspect the rack. Not a cheap fix...

    ran 13.4 with KB???

    With 390 rwhp and street tires (on 18" rims) I went 13.4 @ 112 with a 2.4 60' time. On ET Streets and everything else the same, I went 12.2 @ 114 with a 1.7 60' time. Traction is definitely the problem. As far as gearing goes, I have 4.10 gears. For me, they are the perfect gear on the...

    Will Saleen Racecraft springs work on my convertible?

    I have the Racecraft springs on my car, along with the Racecraft N2 shocks/struts. They came standard on the 281-E. They are great springs. The ride is very compliant and smooth. They probably lower the car less than the H&R springs.

    Plastic intake + a ton of boost?

    It will not crack or break. I don't know why people think this. Its not made out of paper. Its a very heavy gauge plastic and 18# of boost isn't that much force on the walls of the intake. There are tons of guys running high boost through these intakes with no problems. These intakes have...

    Novi 1000

    Yes, if you want 400 hp. With the S trim, getting 400 rwhp is easy. Going from 350 to 400 rwhp with the 1000 is very difficult, for some reason. Also, at the higher hp range the S trim will be working more efficiently. I'm spinning my 1000 to its limit and have not reached 400 rwhp on the...

    Novi 1000

    By the way, the 1000 flows 850 cfm. The S trim flows 1000 cfm but seems to have a lot more potential, for some reason.

    Novi 1000

    Pony up for the S trim. You will be severely limited with the novi 1000 and will kick yourself for not have gotten the 2000 or an S trim, trust me. Getting 350 rwhp out of the 1000 will require exhaust (which you have), a power pipe, a really good tune, and potentially a smaller pulley. Good...

    Saleen mesh grill....

    The only difference with the Saleen grill area is the chrome outline around the pony is painted black. I wanted to do this to my pony but it seems like people have trouble getting the paint to stick.

    Jba shorties?

    I have the JBAs and mine cracked. It was a PITA to fix because they had to come off the car. You don't want to have go pay to have them installed and then pay to have them removed and then reinstalled again. Mine cracked at the #8 cylinder pipe, where it met the collector. Kind of a different...

    Kenne Bell w/nitrous

    Where did you spray the nitrous/fuel? Did you tune for the nitrous besides taking back some timing? I'm interested in doing this on my car. Its a different setup than yours, being a centrifugal blower. I was thinking a 50-75 dry shot through the air filter, hopefully not having to retune. I...

    Need help on launching with nitto's on a 400hp stang

    You're far less likely to break something on DRs than slicks. They just don't hook as hard. I'm sure someone will come in here and tell you they broke on DRs. Its a crapshoot. I've probably launched 75-100 times on my DRs with no problems. I launch around 3,000-3,300 rpm and slip the clutch. I...
