    Diablo Or Superchips For 1996-1998 GT (Specifically)!

    Hey guys! I am not looking to debate which tuner is "better" on paper. I am looking for input from members that have or have used either of these programmers and have any feedback (positive or negative) about them. I have a few mods, and will probably be doing the Accufab and throttle body...

    Looks pretty good. Where did you mount your switch? All of the wiring easy to install and hide? Thanks!

    White Faced Gauges Revisited!

    Hello! I know there was a recent post here about white faced gauges, and thought I would see if anyone could expand on it. More specifically, does anyone have the EL (electroluminescent) powered "reverse" gauges? I saw a couple on ebay and thought they looked decent. I even saw some that...

    How Hard To Install Hey! I have been thinking about doing this to my 1998 vert. How hard is the installation? I always see where people say it is best to have them "professionally installed." What is involved with the installation?

    Where Can I Get Clear Cornering Lights?

    Where is a good online or catalog store for ordering cosmetic parts such as clear cornering lights for my 1998 vert? I am also considering a show/light bar. Where can I get one of those? Thanks!

    What Should I Do For Suspension Next?

    Hey all. I just had my 98 vert in the shop and had the gears, KB subframes and Steeda Sport Springs installed. I am very happy with the gears, but the car is riding very rigid now. It looks great, but i need to get off this pogo stick. What should I install next? Do I need new shocks and...

    What Is "Break In" Period For New Gears?

    So, basically, what you guys are saying is "NO BREAK IN PERIOD NECESSARY"! LOL! It's been tough not breaking them loose just to see how much more she has! I have put over 150 miles on it so far without any weird noises or problems, and have had it in DC traffic once. So, it has plenty of...

    What Is "Break In" Period For New Gears?

    Wow! Don't think I would have put mine on a dyno the same day (personally) based on the "tone" of the mechanic. I guess it is hard steel, so unless I thrash the heck out of it, they should be fine! Besides, she's my baby and I treat her nice! I'll continue to listen to her purr to see if I...

    What Is "Break In" Period For New Gears?

    Hey! Just had my 3.73's installed around 100 miles ago. When I picked up the car, the mechanic told me to let it break in for 500 miles. What does that mean? Is there a certain speed or rpm's I should not exceed while they are breaking in? He told me not to stay at the same speed for...

    How Much HP Should I Really Have On 98 GT?

    I think he'd be happy to do the job as he would be making $$$. However, he is pushing me more towards the supercharger route. Of course, he is quoting me somewhere around $5k installed. This, of course, is more money than the headswap. Modifying these cars does get expensive if you are not...

    How Much HP Should I Really Have On 98 GT?

    Hey stimmler! Did your superchips programmer make a noticeable difference with the mods you have? I am considering following your mod list (somewhat)! :D How do you like your plenum and tb setup?

    How Much HP Should I Really Have On 98 GT?

    Thanks for the advice. I have been wondering which order to follow. I am still unsure about the headswap as my mechanic tells me most people are disappointed at "true gains" after having PI headswap done. :bang:

    How Much HP Should I Really Have On 98 GT?

    Hey guys. I have only made a few mods to my 1998 GT convertible including FM catbacks and K&N FIPK. Realistically speaking, how much rph should I have? I have never had the car on a dyno, and am wondering what the real amount should be. Also, I am considering an Accufab plenum and throttle...

    Should I Buy CC Plates After Spring Installation?

    Thanks, and excuse my ignorance, but what is a bumpsteer kit?

    Should I Buy CC Plates After Spring Installation?

    Thanks for the reply. I will probably go ahead with the CC plates just to make sure. I love the way the car is riding, but am sure I will also need to do the shocks/struts too. More money! :bang:

    Should I Buy CC Plates After Spring Installation?

    I think he dropped it the "normal" distance of around 1". We didn't go radical or anything. It looks great, but I don't want to tear up my rubber for nothing! I will probably have the CC plates installed just to make sure.

    Should I Buy CC Plates After Spring Installation?

    Hey all! A week ago, before going on vacation, I finally had some gears and KB subframes installed in my 1998 GT vert. While at the shop, I had the guy install some Steeda Sport springs to lower the car. He informed me that they were not able to get the front end alignment back to a setting...

    97gt can't spin tires?

    Not Running On All Eight Cylinders? Hey! You think there's any chance the previous owner(s) drove the #### out of the car and sold it because it would no longer burn rubber? I mean heck, it is a possibility that they have dogged the car until it is only hitting on six or seven cylinders...

    Will Superchip Microtuner Adjust Speedo in 98?

    Hey! Thanks for responding to my post. How do you like the microtuner? Do you think the Accufab and plenum made a big difference to stock? I am considering the same type of setup you have already on your car. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
