    steeda underdrive pullies vs. timing adjustor

    i always said they sucked =P thats why i dont have them on my car. when i had my car dynoed, i put down 256/296 std, which is like 246/280 sae with just timing adjuster, o/r x and catback. id attribute the t.a to some of that.

    102 trap w/ only exhaust. Magnaflow exhaust??

    a)when they replaced the axle, they put a used one in it and it has bad bearings, because it makes a terrible wah wah sound from like 30-50mph. i want to get it fixed before i race again. b) i dont have a job right now, and i cant afford to pay 15 dollars to go run on my stock tires and...

    102 trap w/ only exhaust. Magnaflow exhaust??

    the statement of better 60' and overall time lower mph is correct. there is a trade-off point between e.t. and mph, lets say a decent spin run would net you your highest ever 103.5 mph. with this speed your car has enough power to run a 13.1 lets say. well, the closer you get to that 13.1...

    low trap speeds?

    actually bad wheelspin is the difference between a 13.2 and a 13.7-13.8 i know, thats what happened until i learned how to redrive with the 4.10s. same 60's too.

    Gears - Breakin time?

    i pulled out of the shop and nailed it. they are fine. the manufacturing and everything gears go through make them fine to just get on, back in the old days it was a diff. story tho.

    steeda underdrive pullies vs. timing adjustor

    i had it set at 16*, then i set it down to 14.5 or so and i gained 1 mph without any other changes. havent messed with it since. ps. all of my mods and runs are well documented with over 100 1/4 passes in my car. i ran 13.9 at 101 with just x pipe, catback, cai and timing adjuster. then...

    steeda underdrive pullies vs. timing adjustor

    1. if you believe ANYTHING written in MM&FF, you help me to prove my point, that many mods are BS. just like they got 10rwhp from porting a STOCK plenum; and when they did a bolt on test, and said they got more HP from a catback than a mid pipe :bs: 2. i did not say upper intakes plenums arent...

    steeda underdrive pullies vs. timing adjustor

    i had pulleys on my 98, and then didnt do a thing. like you just said, you saw them in everyones sig, so you got them. think of how many other people have done that, and now look at why everyone has them. they are a 2-3 hp gain, and definitly not worth the money. the same goes for Mafs...

    steeda underdrive pullies vs. timing adjustor

    T/A pulleys are crap. the stock pulleys on a 4.6 make very little drag anyways, and you will probably gain 2-3 hp. in my opinion thats weak. i trap 104 with just t/a,cai,x pipe, catback, and gears, thats what most people with every mod trap. and to those of you who say pulleys are a...

    Stay NA or get blown?

    i think you could do over 300 rwhp, with the SVO heads, intake and a great tune, and just about every other available bolt-on. do the supercharger later when you have the money to build the bottom end

    Stay NA or get blown?

    dude, it will be a big mistake to s/c you npi GT, i do not think that many of the people up top have seen 96-98 s/c ed GTs run and just think having a s/c is cool, but i go to the track almost every week... and a 96-98s/c will only run between 13.1-13.6 at 103 with a decent driver. whereas an...

    Cons betweent Mac/BBK LTs?

    BBKs are easiest to install i believe, MACs make the most power and hookers are good if you want to be able to remove the tranny easily.

    UNplanned mod: Did I do something stupid? (tire experts, please)
