    Line Lock tech - I Dont understand!

    Don't worry, it will work properly. Follow the instructions on joe lynch's page. I installed a biondo unit from summit on my car. Works like a charm.

    Line Lock...

    I was cheap and bought the biondo unit from Summit, but a lot of people prefer the Hurst one. You can find a good install article by joe Lynch. I do not have the link off hand. Also, search on here and over at corral.net (SliderGT) for more info. I wrote up an article about a year ago about...

    I spin way too much Need Some new Tires!!

    Nitto does not make a dr for our cars in 18" as far as i know, however BFG does. The guide to drag radials is simple: Street/Strip = Nitto Strip/Street = BFG

    rear end ?

    I f you are not using slicks or drag radials you stock axles and differential should be just fine. I ran on a stock rear end for 3 years. 2 of which where on 15" drag radials. I did wear out the clutches in the stock diff (one wheel spin) and slighlty bent an axle, but both of those came...

    4.10 Gear ..how much will I lose?

    6000 rpm in 5th gear 3.27 = 209 mph 4.10 = 167 mph Those are completely theoretical based on rpm and gearing, and do not mean $hit because they do not factor in hp and aerodynamic drag. The car would never even be able to reach those kinds of speed with out a whole lot of power. A lot...

    4.10 Gear ..how much will I lose?

    Losing top end is a pile of BS. You will not notice any difference in 100+ mph, except your car will accelerate to what ever speed you want a lot faster. The people that are saying you will lose top end know nothing about cars or physics.

    Rear Upper and Lower Control Arms

    I am in to drag racing so keep that in mind. I have Steeda HD adjustable uppers, and Megabite Jr lowers. IMO they make the suspension feel and work about 10x better. The car really feels firm, and it launches hard with great traction even with my 4.10's.

    Gear install charges?? How much?

    I know the feeling. That was me just a few years ago. Installing gears is not hard, but it is time consuming. I would say that a good shop could do it in about 2 hours on average, and definetly not more then 3. It takes me about 4-5 hours to do it by myself. That is sitting on the garage...

    Gear install charges?? How much?

    Install your own = free. That is what I did. An added benifit was that I learned a lot of stuff about gears and drivelines. If you are just changing the gears it is not too bad. A weekend project for a novice. That is a novice to gear swaps, not a novice mechanic.

    LINE LOCK IN AN 03 ?

    I actually used a Biondo one from Sumit Racing. I don't have the link off hand, but Joe Lynch has a nice write up on installing a Hurst one. Also, search here and over at Corral.net. I posted a bunch of info on it last year. My id on the corral is SliderGT.

    *4.10's and the highway*

    4.10's around town are :nice: It was not the big of difference for me as some people on here state. It is not like you added a supercharger or something, but it definetly feels quicker. The most noticable thing is how fast it goes through the gears. Around town they really feel like the...

    Buying new rims...17's or 18's?

    18's look nice, but the big draw back with them is the cost of tires. Tires cost a considerable amount more then their 17" counterparts. Other than that I would call it a draw. I have had both, and the price of tires is the only "real" diffference that you will notice.

    Mach 1 chin spoiler..

    If you don't mind me asking, but where did you guys get the chin spoiler at and how much? I never cared much about it before, but lately I have been seeing a Mach 1 locally a and the chin spoiler looks preety good. It looks like a nice mod if it is cheap enough.

    Questions about Prochamber

    It is probalbly fine. The PC sounds very different from the other mid pipes, especially the stock h. The sound you hear sound be the exhaust gases in the chamber. It should sound like a wooshing sound at medium to WOT. That should be the only time you here it. If you here it while idling...

    High trap seed, low ET?

    You are about right. Get a little more traction and you can probaly get a 13.9, but that is about it. To solidly get in the 13's you need to be around 100+ mph. The best ET I have had with less then 100 mph was something like a [email protected].
