    What it takes to beat a 98T/A in a GT?

    That is exactly what i mean. It kills me that no else takes this into account. For the price of an ls1 powered car you could get a 4v modular car that is even more powerful. My buddy that has a 99 ls1 camaro loves my 96gt more cause it is a better allaround car. Yeah his ls1 is a hell of a...

    What it takes to beat a 98T/A in a GT?

    The one major thing about the ls1 vs 4.6 deal that everyone seems to forget is the fact that the ls1 is the top motor that can come stock in a chevy. Our GT's are a 4.6 2v compared to 5.7. Now put a 4.6 4v, ie cobra or mach1, and its another story. I'm suprised that no one ever brings that up...

    This must be the best bang for the buck mod for Non-PI cars

    Sorry to steal your thread but what do you guys think about this: Some of the 96-98 guys don't PI swap cause of the increase in compression. If they wanna stay NA thats fine but Supercharger is outta question without some work. Couldn't us 96-98 guys benifit more if we used PI CAMS and PI...

    Tuning the Car Up

    I changed my plugs a few months ago at 34k but they were original plugs on a 96. Honestly i don't think that you'll feel a difference unless the plugs are covered deposits. Mine weren't bad at all and i changed them with no difference. But my camaro wen't 80k with the same plugs and when i...

    Just for fun, RICERS stories here!

    This is sorta a ricer story but not really. My buddy has a 01 mustang v6 with a CAI, GT rims, vinly strips, and stock exhaust. Car looks like a gt but slow as hell. I have a 92 camaro RS with an lt1(now upgraded with an lt4 kit), SLP headers and some other little stuff. At least it looks stock...

    Idle Question

    My 96 GT 5spd has the typical slow dropping rpms, but it seems that i never can get any lower than 1000rpms. I let the car warm up for like 15mins in my heated garage and the idle was steady at 1000rpms, this can't be right. Is there any way to lower my idle? I just went and bought some copper...

    4V swap?

    I know you guys probably get this all the time, but when pricing a 4v swap what else should i take into account? I know i'll need the motor and all accessories, but what else will i need to swap it into a 96 2v gt? Will my T45 tranny work? Special wireing harness? ECU? Thanks PS what do you...

    Lights

    I'm sure that you would have to use a different harness. My buddy has a jeep and when he just installed the bulbs it worked fine for like a month, but then it melted and he had to replace the harness with the upgraded one. Since then, its been about 3months, he has had no prob.

    Would putting speedo gear in auto keep it from shifting into O/D?

    I would say that it probably would...From what i have read i would assume so becuase the computer reads the speed from and adjust gears accordingly. I could be wrong but thats my understanding Anyone else?

    4.10's and speedo?

    the plastic gear thing is a new drive gear that goes into the tranny...it fixes your speedo, but doesn't last long cause its plastic. I'm glad to hear good things about the speed cal...I think thats what i will do cause i also plan on getting new rims and tires so if i make any changes it should...

    4.10's and speedo?

    Well i did it, i bit the bullet and went with 4.10's. I was only going to go with 3.73's but I'll be N/A for a while so 4.10's it is. I was looking at the speedo gears from steeda to correct my guages, but it shows the same gear for 3.55, 3.73, and 4.10's? Whats the best way to correct my...

    180 T-Stat installed

    I could be wrong but i read on thridgen.org that by switching to a lower Tstat and not adjusting the fan turn on temps that it causes an open condition in the cooling system. I don't know much about mustangs yet but i will use my camaro as an example. Stock turn on temp for a 92 camaro's fan is...

    lol now you guys got me all confused...i kinda gave up on the interior painting idea and after seeing some pics. I read somewhere that they krylon fusion paint is awsome on plastics so if i do paint i would use that. I still don't know what i should do or even what color. I would just order the...
