    Drag Radial Question?

    I use nittos as a dd tire. It rains here, but I just drop the speed as needed. They are cheap and can reporteedly get about 10-15k out of them depending on use. Otherwise, bfg/kd's, kuhmo/mx's, mt/streets, falken/azenis, and a couple of others.

    gears

    Check my sig, times are minus the jba's. DO NOT go less than 4:10's...PERIOD!Id say gears/tires would get u a 13.8-14.0's, add a mid pipe/cat back to get 13.6-13.8, 3K+ tq cnvtr to get 13.2-13.5, filter/tbody/plenum will help u run consistent low 13's. This can be done on a stock suspension from...

    JBA's are in!

    Did u get the PM I sent u. Give me a call anytime man. I am trying to decide who to let install my cams, naka's or henry...I think they both do great work, but it comes down to tuning and cost. I think Im going with naka's as he can probably give me a pkg deal on everything.:shrug:

    JBA's are in!

    Thought that might be it so I checked them, tight. I found the rubbing problem. I ask rob to tuck the mid pipe up as high as possible and when we checked it, i was rubbing the under carriage so slightly. I got an extra 1-2" of ground clearence so Ill leave it for now.

    JBA's are in!

    Got all the problems sorted out and rob charged me 450.00 which included some custom down pipes from the mid length collector to the x pipe. Im quite happy now, just gotta get a tune and cams to compliment the headers. Should be solidly in the 12's soon!

    JBA's are in!

    Pretty excited about it when I got my car back today. Drove it around and it seems to pull harder, or at least the rpm's climb faster. Couple of problems I noticed...the steering/power assist doesnt seem to be as smooth as before. kinda like the power assist is fighting with me. Feels like its...

    JBA header???'s

    Hope so dude. Rob at exhaust sys/kailua told me that he liked the 1-3/4" better anyway and it wont be a problem. Said that my power would move up a bit in the rpm range and since Im adding cams after along with a tune should be fine. Said the gears/cnvrtr will take care of the bottom and I would...

    JBA header???'s

    Thx helty, you always try to give as much info as possible. What the heck, I have them already so might as well use them. I cant see it hurting me too much and I figure that they are only mid length and not 1-3/4" long tubes cause I know those would be an overkill.

    JBA header???'s

    How much power should I be making to run them? I will be adding vt stage 2's in the near future and maybe thats why the sales person sold me the 3/4". Man, I hope I dont lose too much power cause Im not making that much as it is. My main concern is that the tubes dont rub against anything cause...

    JBA header???'s

    I ordered the JBA mid length headers and noticed that they come in 2 diff tube sizes. I have the 1-3/4" tube, but they also have the 1-5/8" tubes on thier web site. Does it matter between the 2 sizes. May be a tighter fit in the engine bay is the only thing I could think of and hope they dont...

    5 speed vs's automatic

    YA GONNA STAR A WAR U KNOW! I like them both, but stock, a manual is at least .1-.3 faster in the 1/4. Like my auto though and its reasonably quick for what it is. No track here as of 4-1-06 so Ill just have to wait to see what improvements with the headers and cams will make when it opens back...

    Got my jba stainless mid length headers.

    I dont know if Id call $840.00 a deal, but I guess I paid for the name/quality combo. The total price including 2 day air to Hawaii was 909.00.

    Got my jba stainless mid length headers.

    Just got them from fedex and highly impressed with the quality of the product. Cant wait to put them in this coming week and hoping to gain a .1 or .2 in the 1/4 with them...whenever our track opens back up. I know "this thread is useless w/o pics"!, but I dont know how to post them. Maybe my...

    Spare tire?'s

    How many of u guys/gals ride around with the factory spare tire and jack (I have a 15lb aluminum low pro jack)? Im debating taking it out to save a bit of weight while riding around, but with my luck Id get a flat tire within the first mile of driving.:shrug:
