    UPR X-PIPE Install Problem, Please Help!

    Damn that bolt was a pain in the ass, I remember it well. Yea, use the special socket for stripped bolts. If you use air tools, its alot easier.

    Is this too much work?

    Stay with the 4r70w. They can be much faster then manuals. If you put the money you'd spend into a manual swap into your auto tranny, you'd have a very low 13 second car without even doing any engine work.

    Flames Out the Exuast

    The kits work like this. Sparkplug is hooked up inside the tailpipe. Press a button, turns off ignition, spark plug sparks, unburned gas ignites, ignition turns back on. 99% sure

    Launch with TractionControl on or off?

    How do you pull it out? On my year, its a button in between the foglights and the rear defroster. Just yank the button out?

    Launch with TractionControl on or off?

    Have you ever floored it on a road that was slightly wet or not the best traction with tc on and seen the green light go on on your dash? If you have, you know it feels like the car dies. It totally stops giving power. Keep it off whenever you race

    2" Sportline drop with Mach 1 Chin

    If the car is lower then stock height, when you launch, and all that power is thrust back, theres less room for the car to "squat" on the rear tires, and hookup.

    what to do after gear install?

    When I get my gears, I'm gonna have the car dyno tuned (probably using a diablo chip) at the same time. So it'll be calibrated for the 4.10s, and at the same time I'll pickup a little more power and firm up the shifts with the chip. Even on a nearly stock GT, you should pickup 7-10 rwhp with a...

    Torque converter for 04 automatic on STREET

    Is there any benifit if I'm using stock tires? Will I just spin? and will it fry my rear end or tranny? And do you still launch the same way?

    hit rev-limitor

    If you love your car get a chip, or buy a hypertech or diablo programmer. The hypertech is like $300, and it'll fix your gears.

    Torque converter for 04 automatic on STREET

    Does anyone use a higher stall speed torque converter on their every day driver? Is it ok to use on a daily driver? Using stock tires, how much will it improve my 1/4 mile time? Is it worth it? Is it only helpful from a dead stop, or will it give me better acceleration if I decide to punch it on...

    Black tinted headlight covers

    I'm gonna get them soon. Some people hate them, some love them. I think it looks great. I wouldn't drive at night with them on, but it takes 30 seconds to remove them or put them back on.

    With a good tune how mush hp can i get

    Like everyone said, you are lean. However, A/f ratios are not stationary, they vary with load and RPM. When are you hitting 17.1 specificly? I was hitting 15.5 in park at idle, and I was hitting 12's at WOT

    why do X pipes sound "bad"??

    I love my X pipe! Awesome sound. Just DO NOT combine an offroad X with straight throughs. I had that setup and it sounded like a freight train. Loud as hell, but not GOOD loud.. Ugly sounding loud.

    My N/A air to fuel numbers

    I got my AF read yesterday cause I was getting horrible gas mileage and it smelled rich. At idle its around 15.1:1-15.5:1, under heavy acceleration it dropped into the 12s. Is this normal?

    Mach I Chin Spoiler, is it tough to do?

    Looks AWESOME. Very inexpensive way to make the front end stand out a little more. Took me 45 minutes to install. Line it up like you want, then duct tapt it to the car so its attached just like you want. Then you'll need to jack the car up like 5 inches for some good room under the bumper to...

    My N/A air to fuel numbers

    Running lean is much more dangerous then running rich. When you run lean you risk damage to the engine, I would get it tuned ASAP. When you run rich you just lose power, risk fouling spark plugs, and lose gas mileage.

    Electronic Cutouts... how much do they help the 4.6?

    Exactly what I'm considering them for. I might be cheap and just get the manual ones. Open it up for car meets/cruise ins/shows, but close it when I wanna race.

    My N/A air to fuel numbers

    Ok guys, heres the question I always had because I fear that I am running rich as well. When you get a DYNO TUNE, you must also purchase a chip (like diablo for instance) for them to program the tune right? They can't "tune" it without a chip, correct?
