    gears time...

    hey guys not meaning to start anything here, but I have never had trouble with 5 speeds on the street or track, and the 4.10's have even made that a bigger gap....could have been driver error though...and yes, I know this may be different with slicks, but not everyone has them! But I do miss...

    Auto Trans Won't Downshift, Help!

    First off thanks for the feedback. Secondly, the weird thing about it is that I gave diablosport a call Friday at 1pm and spoke with someone, explaining my problem. I was given the "I'm sorry I don't handle cases in which our diablo tune is modified." I was like WTF??!! So he transferred me to...

    Auto Trans Won't Downshift, Help!

    Hey everyone, thanks for your time in advance. Here's the problem: Just installed 4.10's and I have been running the Diablo tuner. With the tune removed, all shifting/points/downshifts, etc. are fine. With the diablo OR factory HP tune installed the car will NOT downshift when in drive. It...

    Gears are over rated.....

    oh, yeah feels like a 40-60 hp gain, slight difference in gas mileage only because I drive round trip freeway 60 miles per day @70 mph but in town couldnt be better. All the cars that you used to hang with, pull a little on, or get pulled on, will now (within reason) be seeing your taillights...

    Gears are over rated.....

    gears are hands down the best mod you can do with the reasonable chance of paying $300 for parts and install. I paid $200 parts and did it myself, with the advice of a good friend. It's a little overwhelming at first if you have never seen internals on a rear but dont fear the gear. Have a guide...

    Gears and speedometer questions..

    how about this- you grow balls and get some steep gears, I will do the same and use the 125 shot. oh and by the way, i was on my way home a second ago and blew the frickin doors off of a 350 z.....it was nice. :Word:

    Trackbite??

    yes it is safe as long as you aren't pushing crazy power without a built rear. I've seen it used several times on near stock cars w/no problems, I will be using vht with my 285's next weekend for the first time. It does seem to work best with this method- 1. five sec. or so burnout 2...

    Compucar Nitrous Q

    Holy Crap. I just found out the jets supplied in the fogger kit are for a 125 shot. Is this really safe everyone? I thought the kit was like a 75, MAYBE a 100, but I was wrong. I don't mind a little premature engine wear, but I dont wanna be blowin off the intake or bustin the crank. Any advice...

    Compucar Nitrous Q

    No the install has yet to begin. Tomorrow the stang will be going into Jim's garage tame and lame and coming out a beast (well, by my broke-a$$ standards). Gears and nitro tomorrow night, I'm going to try to find a bottle at breakthrough performance or through a buddy of jims. If I can't find...

    Compucar Nitrous Q

    I just bought a compucar kit from a friend and have a couple questions. First off, metering block says 57 on the nitrous jet, and 39 on the gas, the nitrous having the larger jet. Is this correct? I would think the opposite for safe mixture reasons. What size shot would this be? Also, part...

    Knocking on cold startup

    That is odd about the filter thing. I was aware of the anti-drainback valve, but I had to switch from the motorcraft to a wix filter to eliminate the knocking.

    Houstonians come in........

    I'm looking for some local hotspots, car clubs, etc. Two good friends followed my lead and bought domestics and we're lookin for some cruises or meets to hang out and check out rides/mods/etc. I'm really interested in finding some good performance shops and even more importantly a good local...

    OPTIMUM Predator Tune

    I understand that completely, but I dont have the time or money right now to do so. I just wanted to see some of the optimum settings discovered through testing and tuning by others who have done this. But thank you very much for the response. Anyone else?

    OPTIMUM Predator Tune

    Hey guys sorry to bring up an old subject per say, but I just purchased a predator for my 01 2v. The predator tune supplied with the unit was an excellent seat of the pants feel compared to stock, I'm anxious to see the #'s. Pulls very hard ALL through the rpm range. I have searched posts...
