    Don't bother with 3.73's - you won't tell much of a difference. 4.10's for the street and 4.30's for the strip. Oh yeah and 4.56 for the drag racing speed demon maniac.

    Densecharger HELP!!!

    The less bends, the better. Think smooth air flow. Try both positions. I have a 87mm MAF from wms. I had it calibrated for their cai. Why? Because the wms cai has the same 90 degree bend in it before the maf. My filter is down, btw.

    You'll never get to 390 N/A out of the stock engine without lots of expensive mods.

If you really want 390hp the easy way, get a 2003/04...

    I need a good radar detector

    I hate to break it to ya, but lasers are very few and far between. At least where I am (nc) and between upstate NY. As a matter of fact, I have NEVER had a real laser hit and just a few falses (count 5 in 4 years). A laser false is caused by a sun reflection on a vehicle in front of the...

    I need a good radar detector

    I know exactly what you mean about PA Turnpike. They have radar on orange trailers connected to a digital sign displaying your speed. After running into 2 of these things, I had to hit the mute after they were detected. They are all X band, if I remember correctly. This is where you use your...
