    14" brakes or not

    I had read that 3/8 to 1/2 inch spacer would be sufficient, wrong in this? It would still add undue stress, but much less than a 1in. Another thought would be to replace the studs on the hubs, if they can since I actually haven't looked into that. Certainly cheaper than buying new wheels if...

    Cat back exhaust suggestions?

    I would suggest a search on drone and trumpeting. Those threads will help you understand kind of whats going on with the 3v engine. In all honesty I believe a mid muffler setup from any brand will make our engine sound close, close mind you, to the 2v and 4v of old. Also the mid mufflers are...

    GT vs Z28

    It probably depends on the car/suspension. In the Metro I will only be going 60 and it feels like 80 because of the drop I put on it and such. Then I drive the Mustang and wonder why I am going so slow and I am five over the limit already :p The gears prob have another thing to do with it. Do...

    cervini side scoops

    I believe a good method that Kooldawg used was fishing line and a library card? Just keep it slow so you don't mess up your paint :nonono:

    Email Tune?

    Some people have had problems with Brenspeed and Mutha Thumprs, but if you are going with the Rockers, then I don't think they will have problems tuning for them :p All in all a good reputable shop and for what you have now they will be good to you!

    Which mod should I do next?

    +1 gears are probably your next best mod. Plan ahead though! If you want to go F/I later on then maybe just do 3.73s for now. If not then 4.10s are a consistent recommendation from most folks. Other than that, pullies are nice for half to 2/3 the price of gears and it's a diy project with...

    Forum wars?

    I believe every Monday? I didn't check it yesterday, but once a week they post up a new one. Yeah they have a Vette and a Viper dragging it out at some point. Knowing the media industry it will be last... :p Rob said he loved the way his Gt handled and with him having the fastest lap time I...

    Wow...

    It made my day for sure! I'm glad they warranteed it though because that can get expensive... Those of you that store for winter, make sure you bait and trap around your wheels!

    14" brakes or not

    True. Take offs are cheap :D Actually I wish a company would design a set of upgraded calipers that don't need a bigger wheel. I'm sure it could be done, but everyone wants bigger and better...didn't that happen in the 70's :rolleyes:

    Post your exhaust sound clips and list the combo

    Well done sir on the video narration. That definitely helps! Now for a 302 and some long tubes...

    14" brakes or not

    All GTs come with 17" wheels arcwb, unless upgraded :nice: That's the problem that people were having with the big brake kits. Sure they were only 700ish$, but you had to spend more on wheels and rubber too. OP: I am thinking of these same mods. I have the upgraded wheels so it is a little...

    Which direction is the right way to install resonators/glasspacks?...Seems obvious..

    Glad that worked for you UD! :nice: 393: The double glasspacks could quiet it down, could not. My experience is with no muffler and only single exhaust. One 18" gp about 20" downstream of the cat and then a 12" gp for the space where the muffler was. It actually made it louder, but that could...

    Forum wars?

    Anyone following the Royal Purple forum wars? This weeks was a really good episode between the GT-R and 996. Still can't beat the Shelby GT's road track time though :D

    Mutang Miles/Value Question

    I think they both lose about the same value per mile really. The truck might get more resale simply because it has more utility built into it. Meaning that on average more people would lean towards a truck than a sports car. Also with the new engines coming out :shrug: If they don't take boost...

    stock 3.31 gears

    Or the PO swapped in 3.31s in favor of mpg? :shrug: We do it for accel, why can't others do the reverse?
