    Thinking of buying a 99 GT

    I gave 5250 for my last ls1 z28 with 100k on the clock bad clutch hydraulics scared the seller. ( 6 speeds are expensive to rebuild ) That being said I have 6500 in my 04 yellow gt I picked up with less than 100k, so on this site I payed too much considering my car is stripped. I thought that...

    how come..

    In my opinoion I have owned both(LS1s and 4.6) ls1s respond great to bolt ons, 4.6 P.I. not so much. I can see the argument from both sides, displacement, weight, suspension ECT. What gm can never match is power for dollars spent. A perfect example 02 camaro ss or TA WS6 mid thirties new and...

    Ringing sound around 2000 RPM

    Thanks nyuk98gt I did a search and found that the bell is used to seal the driver side pipe.I have a 04 so I don't know if it needs it or not. I've got to install rear shocks sometime this week, I'll look for loose clamps or exhaust componets rubbing anything then. I just filled the thank...

    Ringing sound around 2000 RPM

    Thanks guys . I did not notice the sound before I put the x pipe on . I was so annoyed by the rasp after installing the x pipe,that all I could hear was rasp. I'm not sure it started right after putting the ORX on. I just thought of something, I bought the x pipe used. The guy I bought it from...

    MGW Shifter Install Question...

    Thats the grommet that seals the factory boot to the MGW shaft I thinks more for noise suppression than anythig else . I don't think would hurt to leave it out if you need to drive it . I would call MGW and see if they would send me one though.

    Ringing sound around 2000 RPM

    Sorry about slow response been at work. Its a 5 speed and only does it with the clutch engaged. It don't do it sitting still with car in neutral. It does it with any amount of throttle applied, whether I'm bringing engine speed up slowly or hammering on it. The sound does not get louder the...

    Ringing sound around 2000 RPM

    I have a ringing sound around 2000 RPM under load. The sound is faint and only when in gear. ( sounds like coins jingiling ) I didn't notice it untill I installed a BBK off road X pipe. I think it may be lightly tapping something under load. Am I on the right track or could something more...

    I've got a yellow 04, those are the ones I was wanting too, not sure about 18s though. I wish I could find some pics of those on a yellow car

    shifter recommendation

    MGW is really quiet for an aftermarket shifter, great positive feel, shorter throw, and adjustable. Only time I have missed a gear is just being lazy cruising.

    Grinding/Clicking Noise Coming From Front End

    Are you sure the sounds not coming from your power steering pump? If it has a leak and the fluid level gets low they can make alot of noise when cutting the wheels lock to lock. Just somthing easy to check, if its low add fluid and see if it helps.

    How does a P1152 code work (rich condition)

    In my opinoin the exaust leak is causing this . How many times have you reset a code to have it come back two weeks later. If i'm not mistaken the ecm ( whatever we call it today ) does periodic checks of sensors. If you are getting fresh air into an o2 wouldn't this cause a lean condition. If...

    Sorry for being a few days late guys. Thanks for all the sugestions! Sounds like my goals are within reach either way I go, so long story short 350 is not only safe but easily attainable F/I or N/A!!!

    How do I make 360 Rwhp

    Jim your set up sounds like its making great power. I wouldn't imagined a 4.6 (N/A) making 355 none the less an auto. If you don't mind me asking roughly how much did the heads, cams, gaskets,ect cost, just parts not labor. I'm basically a mechanic for a living. I feel confident doing the wrench...

    How do I make 360 Rwhp

    Last car was a 99 Z28, full bolt ons netted me 356 Rwhp and 362 fLbs. How do I make similar power out of a 2V 04 GT. Nitrous is not out of the question, (although I'd like to make some of it with bolt ons) I know these cars don't respond to exhaust and cold air kits like ls1s do . I know they...
