    Why should I get an Optima battery?

    I have one of those. My OEM battery was about three and a half years old, so the timing on this was good for me.

    PCV?

    I used a rubber vacuum cap, available at any auto parts store, on the intake orifice. Always have a extra handy though, because they do deteriorate after a few years.

    PCV?

    I had a K&N breather element on both the PCV and on the passenger side valve cover, but the one on the valve cover would leak a very slight amount of oil when the engine was run relatively hard. I went with one of the high-dollar SHM breather caps on that side and have since had no further...

    Are all chip programmers the same?

    +1 I would buy the SCT Xcal 2 (X2) if I were in the market for a tuner today, although the Predator I have has performed perfectly fine for me and I have no need to replace it. The X2 was not in production yet when I was in the market for a tuner, so the Predator was a good investment for me...

    PCV?

    I was using a breather on the PCV, but hooked it back up a few years ago along with a catch can btween the PCV and intake orifice. Amazing to me how much oil is trapped by in the catch can, and I know my intake, pistons, and valves are thanking me :D

    So I have purchased 4.10s..what next.

    +1 With 4.10's, your engine rpms are going to be about 25% higher than stock 3.27's at any given speed, so your transmission internals will also be running proportionally faster as well. The cooler may provide some cheap insurance against the premature demise of your transmission, and...

    Mechanic Looked @ Gears: Help Needed Inside 4.10 vs 3.73s!:D

    +1 Mileage is not an issue with 4.10's. My Mach 1 has stayed N/A so 4.10's were a natural choice for me, and I have no regrets having gone with them whatsoever. With a blower however, I would likely have stayed with the stock 3.55's.

    Help quieting the 3650

    I drained the factory fill and used 3.0L (about 3.2 quarts) of DEXRON III on Tremec's recommendation of a few years ago when I installed a short-throw shifter. Absolutely no problems with excessive noise, third gear lockout, etc. since then. The gasket some people have used is from...

    Quick Diablosport question.

    You will be able to somewhat modify the tune yourself with the hand-held unit, but generally only across very broad rpm ranges. A shop equipped with Diablo CMR software will be able to offer true custom tuning across much finer rpm ranges. if your favorite dyno shop does not use Diablo...

    GT take off's

    Mine lost some low end TQ going from a 2 1/4" diameter stock midpipe and catback to a 2 1/2", and it was dyno proven. Why run 3" diameter pipes? It costs considerably more for what gain? 2 1/2" diameter is more than enough, 2 1/4" diameter is enough.

    differential

    The whole rear end, because the GT differential is 8.8" and the V6 differential is 7.5"

    Contemplating purchase of an 02 v6.

    The part new costs about $170 and runs about $200 - $250 to install. If you're thinking about changing the rear gears from the stock 3.27's, that would be the time to do it since the installation cost will be the same regardless of what gears you use. Unless you have some experience with gear...

    Contemplating purchase of an 02 v6.

    A grown person can fit back there, so a car seat should pose no problem. As far as driving in snow, a T-Lok or similar limited-slip differential would help, since the car comes stock with an open (one wheel drive) differential.

    04 Cobra **STOLEN**

    His post said Oklahoma I'll keep my eye out here in north Texas. The HPP stickers would stand out out to me because I'm familiar with their most excellent shop in Lewisville.

    Ready to buy exhaust; please look over for me

    No one has to actually cut out the rear bumper to make it look right. GT takeoff rear bumper covers will already have the correct cutouts for rear-exit exhaust tips. I have seen '99-'04 V6's with dual exhaust and the tips exiting under the stock rear bumper cover, and while they don't look...
