    Boost Gauge: Electrical or Mechanical?

    I love it! It kicks in around 4k and pulls really hard to about 6k. I have a super conservative tune and I'm happy with the power that I'm making. You've heard the saying. Slower than some, faster than most......:p It suits my needs and helps me get out any stress I have when I'm...

    Rim question

    Nittos run a little smaller than the actual size, but the biggest I would personally put on a 8" rim would be a 265.

    Boost Gauge: Electrical or Mechanical?

    By then, probably not. Now if you noticed that your pressure was spiking up and down, real low, really high, or none at all prior to blasting down the 1/4 mile, it's already paid for itself. :) IMO, it's more of a preventative measure if you glance at it before you mash the pedal down and...

    Slamming Car Doors?

    Thanks man, but I seriously doubt that was me. I would never have someone else wash my car. I always wash it at work or home. :)

    Bilsteins are in!

    Congrats! I noticed a big difference from my old 2000 GT with the stock shocks and struts and Steeda springs compared to my current ride with the suspension upgrades. Bilstein makes a great shock and strut. Did you get an alignment with the install?

    Slamming Car Doors?

    Same goes for me and I taught the wife to do the same. I also hate when someone rides with me and they plop down in the passg. seat. I get scared that they're gonna rip the leather off or rip a hole in it. I fuggin HATE fingerprints too!!!!!!!:mad: :mad:

    Boost Gauge: Electrical or Mechanical?

    Not trying to scare you homie, just don't want you to learn an expensive lesson. I have electric fuel pressure, mechanical boost, and an A/F gauge I got for $10 :p I do plan on taking out the A/F and getting an oil pressure gauge eventually. It's not high on the priority list though.

    Thanks....:) I actually wanted to get some CCW's but they were WAY out of my budget.

    Boost Gauge: Electrical or Mechanical?

    Oil pressure IS important, but remember, there's already one in your stock instrument cluster. At least you can see what your pressure is now. Your vehicle doesn't come with a fuel pressure gauge so there's no way to see if your pump's giving out or if it's clogged while under boost...

    Boost Gauge: Electrical or Mechanical?

    Mechanical boost and electric fuel pressure are a MUST with S/C'd rides. Too much money riding on that engine and you'd rather spend the $200 on a gauge that can save you several grand in the long run IMO....
