    Yet another race question.

    Yeah they are 500hp stock, no idea what they weigh. Has anyone heard any real world 1/4 times with these trucks?

    Yet another race question.

    Hey guys, a co worker of mine just bought an 04 Ram SRT10. It's all stock with 8500 miles, and I was wondering how we would compare in a drag race. I haven't had the chance to actually drive it but I rode in it. I have to say that when it gets traction, it pulls pretty hard. I'm sure he could...

    Front end noise?

    So my GT has been making a popping type sound from the front end ever since I got the car, but it seems to be doing it more as of recent. It seems to make the noise most when I cut the wheels backing out of a parking spot, or pretty much any other type of low speed turn. I noticed it today when...

    Throttle sticking

    Hey guys, ever since I put on new BBK 70mm TB, the gas pedal seems to be sticking during its first 1/4 inch of travel. It is kind of annoying, because you feel it through the gas pedal and the first 1/4 inch of travel is very difficult. Any ideas on what I could check? Thanks

    Exhaust rattle

    Well I looked underneath again and it looks like the tailpipe is hitting the gas tank shield, I can see where the hot tailpipe melted some of the shield. Not really sure what I can do to fix this.

    Exhaust rattle

    Hey guys, I had my Flow 40's welded in a few weeks ago and ever since then I hear a fairly loud bang underneath when I hit bumps,like the exhaust is hitting something. I checked underneath, and everything is tight and nothing seems to move. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks!

    Question about gears.

    My track is at sealevel, and yeah its a 5 spd. I was hoping for a bit better than high 13's, seeing as stockers have gone 13.9.

    Low end power boost?

    Hey guys, I was wondering what I could do to my car to increase its power below 3000 rpm. I was thinking of getting a set of FRPP 3.73's, I'm sure that would help some. Are there any other things that are known to help low end power? A blower is out of the question at this point. Thanks!

    Oil Question

    Well, I guess I'm doing alright then. I've heard from some people that if you do alot of high rpm decellerating, this can increase consumption. Is there any truth to that?

    Oil Question

    Hey guys, I was wondering if thinner oil generally increases consumption. I currently use Valvoline 5W20 non synthetic, and it uses about a 1/2 qt every 3k miles, sometimes a bit more. If I were to switch to 10W30 non synthetic, would that decrease oil consumption? Thanks!

    Hesitation Issue

    It's funny you mention a misfire, I just cleaned my motor the other day and it has just started doing it since then. Maybe some water got into the coils or something?

    Hesitation Issue

    Hey guys, lately I've noticed that when I grab 2nd gear hard, it will chirp the tires like always, but then it will hesitate a bit and start acclerating again. It almost feels like the traction control is on, but it's not. Any ideas on what this could be? The car has 31k on it, fuel filter was...

    Hey guys, my friend has an 03 ( I think) Acura RSX-S. It is all stock, he wants to run me at the local quarter mile track. I'm thinking I will win, but generally how fast are these cars? Thanks!
