    Which Octane?

    I assume by reflash you mean re-setting the computer. If that is what you meant, than no, that will not richen it. If you really are running lean, you could get an AFPR or custom chip burnt. Jon

    Yes.

    Q's about LT header, and sniffer test-Ohio resident needed

    You *may* pass a sniffer but you won't pass a visual. The trick with long tubes is not whether or not you can install cats, but how far away the cats are from the block. Catalytic converters only work when operating at a certain temperature; you may have noticed your car smells different when...

    Am I expecting too much?

    Yeah, that is too high. You cannot expect to get more for a car with mods--you will usually lose money on modifications. Try $6500-7000. Jon

    Which Octane?

    Xanax, what is your reasoning for your gas comments? You are aware that Chevron and Texaco are the same gas, right? You are also aware that the exclusive gas chosen by Ferrari is Shell, right? Jon

    buying a supercharger soon...which kind should i buy?

    I completely agree with turbos being more efficient than supers. I never said they weren't--I simply said the centrifugals are very similiar to turbos--in fact, they are affectionately called belt driven turbos. Again, I will stress that a well matched turbo will give great results, hiding...

    Which Octane?

    Like what has already been posted, higher octane is used to prevent detonation and preignition in engines. It is NOT used to "get more hp" or "clean the engine". Engines that run higher internal temperatures due to increased carbon build up, poor (lean) air:fuel mixture, higher compression...

    buying a supercharger soon...which kind should i buy?

    I agree, which is why I said "generally speaking". As for turbo efficiency, there is much to turbo planning that I don't have the specifics on, and it can get very complicated. One must pick their hp goal, boost level, rpm boost level goal, etc...and then find a compression map that matches...

    That's cool. Thanks for not taking offense. Jon

    buying a supercharger soon...which kind should i buy?

    How can you say that? It all depends on turbo size. If you want a turbo that will make any kind of appreciable gains, there will be associated turbo lag, due to the larger turbine needing time (and exhaust) to spool up. That is precisely the reason for a twin turbo setup--two smaller turbos =...

    will 245 tires fit on 10.5 wide rims?

    245s are a 9" tread width tire. They barely fit on my 9.5" rims, which also happens to be the smallest size I can put on my 9.5". So NO, they will not fit. Jon

    wooo, mach-1 suspension came today

    Isolator? From what, the chassis?

    buying a supercharger soon...which kind should i buy?

    I've always been a fan of the Vortech. That would be my first choice. Do a search on this topic; I did a thread on this awhile ago, and it showed some very telling dyno results. It really is hard to argue with the Kenne Bell. Jon

    buying a supercharger soon...which kind should i buy?

    You have three choices (basically) 1. Centrifugal (Vortech, Paxton) 2. Roots (Ford Racing) 3. Twin Screw (Kenne Bell) The first acts like a turbo in that a propeller is spun to massive rpms and boost potential is almost unlimited. You will get the largest gains from this setup...

    What is that on top of the springs? Who makes this kit for Ford--I heard the shocks/struts were Tokico--what about the springs? Jon

    OT: Why don't I see a PM button?

    Click on their name, above their avatar. It will bring down a list of options. Jon

    Check, Check, Re-check the double Check, Check? CHECK!

    Urethane bushings for suspension would be a great thing to get now, while you are in there. Eibach springs are not supposed to "settle", and if they settle excessively you are return them. For more info, check www.eibach.com. As for the pro-kit, isn't that the less aggressive spring set? Jon
