    need help

    Do you really want to go with cheap studs though when the difference is only a few bucks and your putting extra stress on them via the spacers? I had spacers on an old car of mine and I lost a wheel while doing about 65 cause one of the new studs sheared off.....that was no fun.

    Bust cat..can it get in muffler?

    A soft mallet should work. Being that the exhaust is dangling fom rubber hangers, is should move enough to jolt any pieces of catalyst around.

    Subframe install in central IN?

    I also would have said Kenney Brown but alas, they are gone :( It was nice having such a great shop close by. I'm not to sure about any northside shops ( I actually live in fishers) but if its just the subframes you want installed, its pretty straight forward and any shop with a competant...

    Running Lean?????

    I have followed DSS's insructions to a tee for break in. Just letting her run for 1/2 hour in a high idle, check for leaks, and change the oil. I dont plan on doing any extended highway drivng or anything else to stress the motor for at least 300-400 mi. I knew my fuel sytem was enough just...

    Suspension or more hp

    Well, in that case, I would go with the suspension. The TB and plenum also go along with the boost or cams. What type of charger are you planning on running? If its a roots or twin-screw, the plenum wont be needed....

    Suspension or more hp

    Both options would seem to compliment the mods you have already very nicely. It all just boils down to personal preference. W/O any spings your car is most definately riding to high and that nasty gap in the fenderwell should be taken care of ASAP. Although with what you are spending in...

    How about these rims?

    The first set looks like an 8-lug wheel for 4x4's..probably wouldnt even fit a stang and, IMO, wretched. The second set is on the right track....Looks like your leaning towards more BLING. I have 19" 3 piece M5's and they're gorgeous. You cant go wrong with 5-spoke deep dishes on a...
