    Valve Covers

    No, you do not have to remove the intake manifold to take off your valve covers. You do have to remove the coils though.

    Ball Joint advice please.

    Balljoints do wear out fast on some S197's. Had to do mine at 35k with it only 1.5" lowered. A set of FRPP (GT500) lower arms with better balljoints runs about $260

    08 gt500 wheels on 08 gt/cs

    I paid 900 for my new take-off 08 GT500 wheels and tires a couple years ago. If you need tires, I would say get the nittos now then save up for the rims. 50 each for nittos is a GREAT deal.

    08 gt500 wheels on 08 gt/cs

    Stock 07-09 GT500 wheels are 9.5" wide. What alot of people don't realize is there are 2 different versions of the F1's. A so-so version on the GT500 and a good version on the GT500KR's. The stock GT500 tire sizes are 255/45/18 front & 285/40/18 rear. I don't think Goodyear makes regular Eagle...

    Brembo brake package wheel and brake question

    A nearly 4000 lb car with over 430 ft/lb of torque can always use some additional stopping power over stock. Especially when cruising on the highway and the idiot (that doesn't believe in mirrors) next to you makes the decision to snap turn into your lane across your nose. The extra weight...

    F/I tuning questions

    I believe KB's advertised rwhp numbers are made with 25 degrees of timing and like 12.5 AF. Thats pushing it a bit.

    E Force Tillman Stage 1 w/Hot Rod Cams - Idle Problem

    I have an E-Force with DR cams. I initially had a dipping cold idle/stalling problem. Brenspeed richened the idle way up and it solved the problem. But still to this day, if I rev her a little when cold, she'll dip and stall sometimes. They also tweaked the throttle decay settings because she...
