    Racing Stripes?? To do or not to do?

    I like racing stripes personally, though, if not done properly, it'll look utterly hideous. The stripes that come on Roush's, like shown above, are tasteful. For me, I like the mix of Red/Black, which is the theme I'm going with at the moment anyways.

    What does it take for a 4.6 GT to run in the mid to low 13's with street tires???

    A couple minor, but effective bolt ons and a bunch of practice will probably net you mid 13's. Low 13's can be had with more practice and maybe drag radials. What I mean is, don't waste time/money with CAI's and swapping out your mufflers for some Flowmasters if you're looking for...

    99 gt faster than 04 gt?

    Auto's have been recorded to do a 6.0-6.1. Not to say that's the best they can muster but, it was an accepted average. 5.5 sounds like a 5-speed launched decently well. Take into comparison that one of the selling points of the 05 Auto GT's is that they are ~1 second quicker in the 0-60...

    No, the drivers/driving conditions just got worse.

    FMS C-Springs (M-5300C) pricing/?'s

    I'm not quite sure if this should be posted in the tech section but, I figured I'd post it anyways. I've had a pair of these springs before but have since swapped it out to another car. Now I'm looking to get them again, although, it seems the prices have gone up. I had initially purchased...

    All that depends heavily upon the tune.

    any complaints about the SLP setup??

    I personally don't like it one bit but, exhaust is greatly dependant upon taste. It's way too abnoxious for me. Maybe when I was younger I may had liked the attention but, you can't be sublte by any means with that set up.

    how much power am i pushing?

    Well, you have 2 mods that actually help your power but, as XStanger said, if you set yourself up with a full intake set up, you should be around 260.

    1/4 Mile With No Serpentine Belt ???

    I think you'd want it to go at least around the crank and alt.

    4:10 gears install in bay area?

    Go to www.bigboyracing.com if you live in newark. Talk to Sheldon. He can do just about anything you need, including installing gears. Although, there are a multitude of shops in the area that are capable of installing them but, Sheldon has been building cars for years, so he's got plenty of...

    How do bolt-on modifications work?

    That's essentially correct. Which is why the term -power adder- is commonly used with superchargers, turbo's and nitrous. It's adding power that the motor wasn't capable of by itself. Efficiency is basically all it is, as far as bolt on mods are concerned. If they're more efficient than the...

    4.6L SOHC Intake Manifolds Suck

    600 for a cast alum. production manifold isn't *that* bad but, it would be a hell of a lot nicer if it were cheaper. Being able to port that thing would certainly be an improvement over stock.

    Nice vids. That LS1 was funny. That's about as bad as me trying to get traction on my lamer ass street tires. I can't get them to hook even if I baby it.

    Drivetrain Loss: Understanding it, and Improving it?

    Priorities I suppose. Although, the weight reduction is nice but, less drivetrain powerloss won't -add- power but it will help to -free- up power. There's a slight but significant difference between the 2. You should, in theory, see more rwhp by simply having less rotating mass and light...

    My dyno numbers...

    You don't do 1/4 mile runs on a dyno. Mach's weigh a bit more than standard 2v's but, either way, his numbers don't seem correct no matter how you look at it. If it were a dyno jet, it would still be high but at least more reasonable.

    02-03 Roush's CHEAP

    Do you mean 380R? If so, there's no way they're selling that for around 24k. If so, they're extremely desperate to sell them and someone needs to jump all over that. I know I sure as hell would.

    spintech prostreets are on

    I guess I'm just used to the plain abnoxious yelp from SLP that everything else seems more timid.

    results are in: my 03 gt vert vs. 350z ...

    Well, even regular 315 tires will give you an edge over your typical street tire. Glad you won, though. I still think the tires and gears were the deciding factor. Besides the fact that he couldn't really hook up.
