    high hp what tranny

    Your best bet would probably be a Viper spec t56. As for clutches, my buddy is using a McCleod RST twin disc setup in his Whippled Cobra and its holding up very well. He is making just under 650rwhp. Tranny's - Welcome to D&D Performance - The 5 & 6 Speed Experts! Clutch - Mcleod 99-04...

    Help! quick... PCV valve question

    If your careful, you can cut the pcv valve out of the elbow. I did that on mine. Then to get the elbow over the new valve, I heated it up a bit with a lighter. But if you can find a new one somewhere, it would be easier to just buy it. Lol!

    Looking to get back into the game after 4 years

    Even with the fender being replaced, I think the Bullitt is a better purchase. Mainly because it will have a little better resale value if/when the time comes to move on.

    373 gears for a turbo car?

    They would probably work well in your case(turning 7k rpm), but normally I would think 3.55's or 3.27's would be better on a turbo car.

    98GT C.O.P swap

    Looks good! Just curious, what made you decide to clock the MAF like that? Did it effect your a/f ratio when tuning?

    Moar new parts!

    Looks like a fuel pressure shutoff switch to me. Coming along nicely! So when are you taking back to the track?

    Bolt-on Performance : Best Bang for the Buck

    You could get a set of Steeda underdrive pullies or a Meziere electric water pump. I would prefer to have the electric water pump personally.

    Bolt-on Performance : Best Bang for the Buck

    Well, honestly saving for a supercharger is the best bang for the buck. But if your like alot of us and don't have the $$$ to throw down on a sc and tune, I would get a set of 3.73 or 4.10 gears and have them installed. It won't add an hp, but it will feel alot stronger and will keep the car...

    Please help me pick 15" wheels for track

    Yea, if you raise them up they should clear fine. I have adjustable Steeda LCA's, but my car seems to hook better when there is less tension on the rear springs. So I leave them set all the time now.

    Please help me pick 15" wheels for track

    x2 on the SummitRacing wheels being a good cheaper alternative. I had the FastFive wheels and they were excellent quality. The sizes you will want are the 15x4 fronts, which will require the use of a 7/16" spacer and 15x8 or 15x10 for the rears. The 15x4 have a 1.75" backspacing, which is the...

    few mods what do you all think???

    Your best bet would be to call them and talk to them. Tell them what you are planning on doing with it and how much power you are wanting to make and they will help you with your decision.

    Traction Control Issue????

    By default, the traction control is on everytime you start the car. You can have a tuner shut it off in a custom tune if you would like.

    few mods what do you all think???

    Honestly, you would be better off getting some forged rods and pistons instead of heads. If you are definately getting a Kenne Bell sc, then that by itself is capable of producing more hp/tq than the stock rotating assembly can handle. Add a good set of heads to the KB and it would be...

    top 2 trans bolts?? what the easiest way to loosen

    IMO, adding 1-2 hours worth of work just to get the top bolts out isn't easier. I'd just use the long extension method if I were you.

    New Times from the Track

    Thats great man! Congrats! You really don't need much more power or weight loss to run 10's as it is. 122 mph is good to run 10's with a good hard launch and a low 1.5x 60' or so. Good luck on the 10 second pass with the stock longblock! It is a goal I am also hoping to achieve eventually.

    top 2 trans bolts?? what the easiest way to loosen

    They are a pain no matter what you do really. You will need about 2 feet worth of extensions and a wobble/swivel socket. Try to let the tranny/engine sag down as much as possible to give you the best access to the bolts. I found it easiest to use 1 or 2 wobble tipped extensions also...

    Pypes O/R X pipe? Or...........

    To a point you are correct. But there are variations in how the x portion of the midpipes are made. For example, BBK uses a clamshell type x for their crossover. Like so... And the UPR/Pypes x is made a little different. Who knows if one flows better than the other, but there is...

    Pypes O/R X pipe? Or...........

    Just get the Pypes X. It doesn't fit that bad, I had zero trouble installing mine. Btw, A friend of mine ordered a UPR x and when it arrived it had the Pypes logo on it, lol!

    15" wheel / tire sizes. what looks good?

    You will want a 5.5" backspacing if you get 15x8's and a 6.5" backspacing if you get 15x10's. IMO, the 15x8's are a better choice due to the fact you can use a variety of different tire sizes with them. In the case of sticky tires, bigger isn't necessarily better. I have pulled 1.58 60's...

    Shortie Antenna

    same here! I don't see a reason to buy one when, IMO, doing this looks and works just as well.
