    What is the plate called between the motor and the trans?

    I had two mechanics listen to the noise and they both said a cracked flexplate. After inspecting the flexplate it looks fine, however it is not SFI approved. Also I have a stock torque converter so I will be upgrading that as well. (I have been wanted to do that anyway, so now is the time.)...

    Anyone running GT Competition leaf springs from Eaton?

    Well I threw on my Dad's 235/60/R15's drag radials and the wheel hop stopped. However by increasing the wheel height by 2+ inches I also lowered the gear ratio at the rear.

    Anyone running GT Competition leaf springs from Eaton?

    Well I spoke to them again and we talked about my tire size and how the lower profile may also be affecting my wheel hop. I'm running 225/50/R15's. My dad has a set of 235/60/R15 drag radials. I'm going to throw them on and see if it's the tires that are the issue.

    Anyone running GT Competition leaf springs from Eaton?

    I'm currently running 1 inch lowering springs from Eaton at a spring rate of 138 and I cannot get rid of my wheel hop even with slapper bars. I have been told it is because of the new angle everything is at because of the 1 inch lowering. (Rear end, pinion, drive shaft) So I was told to go...

    Horse Power gain from Stock Headers to Shorty Headers

    On a side note I see that Stainless Steel headers are much cheaper than Ceramic Coated ones. Any reason why?
