    02 GT Gear Install

    my .02 on you diff. anybody who recomends auburn is losing there mind. they are not rebuildable. eatons are nice but they are too much money IMO. If you want carbon fiber clutches ford sells them for $100 as opposed to $50 for the stock ones. the factory trac lok with the right clutches...

    tranny guys..come on in

    I would look at the tko 600. I like the ratio splits on the tranny better. After I did my gears I get kind of anoyed at how low first gear is.

    Brake Compromise

    are you doing it for looks or stopping or both. if you are just wanting a bit better stoping I would do mach 1 calipers, stainless lines, get rotors on ebay ( I used rotorpros). then I would add a bit more aggressive pad and sell the stock ones on ebay. if you want looks spend more on the...

    GT to Cobra Brakes

    The rear brake converstion is kind of a pain. your quad shock brackets have to be cut off. you have to pull you axles. for the limited gain it is not worth it IMO. I did the whole conversion on my car and in hindsight I would have either kept the stock gt rotors in the rear or bought the...

    Rev Limiter with Cams

    have you verified how much power you are making and where it rolls off? without seening the power curve it is hard to say. your cams raise you rpm band but the stock intake may choke you back a hair. I know on my car I would hit the limiter in first very easy stock. even worse when the...

    Mongoose in but runs PIG rich

    I would not even run or or dive it with the stock tune in it. you know 100% that tune is going to be off.. If the thing is running that bad with the supplied tune I would not drive it that way either. when you say fuel leaking do you mean leaking fromt he fuel system or just un burned fuel...

    Help me out guys, take my survey and comment

    forge the bottom end then run a TT, kb 2.2L, or novi 2k setup. save the extra money on the shortblock and put it towards the boost IMO. staying with a normal setup will make the work go nice and fast and save you $$$ for adding insane power in the future.

    Embarassingly Loud Back-Pressure - HELP!

    you are not hearing backpressure. you either have a leak or you are getting cold air rushing back into the exhaust too fast. I am assuming you are getting popping sounds under deceleration. I would presonally just change the catback if it is not a leak. I have the normal borla and it...

    MM XD LCA's First impressions

    that is odd because my mirror is rock solid. I don't notice that much vibration. maybe a little but nothing crazy. I get a little more road noise. It is more of just a low, slight howling sound. I only hear it mainly if I put the rear seats down. the solid bushins are probably just...

    E Brake??

    the ebrake on my car is very simple system. there are two rear cables, one cable from the handle, in the handle there is a tensioner. It is like a coiled up spring that you have to undwind to get the cables in place and then it just keeps constant tention to take up the slack in the system...

    Quiet Catback Take 2.....

    I had 50 series flow and 40 series flows on my chevelle. I think most people would find the 50 series stuff livable. there is a HUGE difference in sound and drone. I don't htink it will be as mellow as the FRPP catback but the FRPP catback does not do much for me sound wise.

    Best Mods for staying N/A

    If you are talking wheel horspower you will never make it with a 2v. highest I have seen was 360rwhp and that was not a daily. now if you are talking flywheel horsepower you can do it or get real close but it will cost you. 1. heads 2. cams 3. longtubes 4. intake 5. tune for...

    Will this break my axles or differential???

    simple answer is yes you could damage something. I would upgrade becasue sometimes you can damage the housing itself buy spinning the tubes. 1. 31 spline axles 2. diff 3. weld tubes 4. weld torqu boxes probably. I have read if you run reallly good control arms (no poly bushings) the...

    help with rear control arms

    easy problem to fix. get the metco arm I posted in earlier. I would get drag shocks and struts as well and ditch the springs you have in favor of drag springs.

    gear debate

    4.10's are going to pull better period. 112 or so will be the top speed in 4th. as for the 3.90's laying down I don't know quite way you mean as they will pull 4th much better than the stock 3.23's will. there will always be a bit issue with the gear splits in the stock tranny though...

    03 cobra t56 in 98 GT

    well as far as the speedo goes I know you can get mechenical speedo t-56's I just don't know if they make a mechanical tail section for that model. I would just call D&D performance and get the info from them. 1. speedo 2. crossmember 3. driveshaft 4. reverse lockout solinoid 5. I...

    Best Exaust

    borla and bassani are the nicest best sounding choices but they are aslo the most expensive. if you don't care about alumized I would try to find a good deal on the bassani bx. the mufflers are still stainless and it sounds way better than flowmaster. magnaflow is probably the best value as...

    Suspension Setup

    the CC plate thing varries from cat to car and the c spings seem to vary as well. CC plates are a good addition though for handling but do transmit a little road noise. Read up on them most poeple don't read enough about suspention before they buy. here are my three sugestions for...
