    ET Streets

    I am looking for some drag tires and was wondering what everyone thought about the Mickey ET Street 275/40-17 on the stock 17X8 rims? They are listed as working on an 8.5 rim, but have heard through the grave vine that they will fit an 8 rim. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome, thanks in...

    3 points or sub frames?

    OK, my next add is going to be a chassis stiffener but I can't choose which way to go. What is everyones take on steeda 3 point torque boxes?

    Traction? or should I say lack there of

    I know my 255/45/17 fuzions are junky tires but the lack of traction from my 05 GT is crazy. I have BMR billet lower control arms and relocation brackets as well as a CHE control arm brace with torque limiters but that is all I have for suspension mods. Can anyone help me get my pony doing more...

    Tire Reccomendations for 2006 GT

    I have Fuzion ZRi's on my car and I can not with a clear conscience recommend them. When it is cold they are completely useless, I have yet to get any traction from them when the temps fall under 60 degrees. I have been cruising in 2nd and with no clutch kick or anything just light them up in a...

    Best Cold Air Intake

    If you do a search you will find this thread has been on here a few times and everyone as their own personal reasons why one is better than another. With that said, I will throw my hat in the ring and say the Tunable Induction by DeMolet is one of the best piece out there! I still love mine and...

    S/C Gauges and Performance meter

    OK so I am not going wild on boost like most, just getting a MagnaCharger just in case Chevy ever puts out that two door something or another I keep seeing at the auto show. So my question is, what are the most important gauges to have? I know A/F is a good one but don't know what to pair it...

    BBK TB install gone wrong

    Thanks for the advice, I can't believe I didn't think about using the vise grips. I did break the head clean off one of the TPS screws. That's more than likely why I didn't think about using the vise grips, to damn made that such a little screw was put in so tight and with so much thread locker!

I tried to force the issue and broke one...
