    Need help on changing spark plugs

    Passenger side plugs suck, I don't care what anyone says. The last cylinder by firewall was designed to punish with those damn smog pipes. You need girly hands just to line up a socket on a swivel. Drop the smog pipes, and it's heaven.

    Theoretical gear question (lets get some real tech in here)

    Holy Thread Revival Batman! After living with 3.73 gears for a while (moved down from 4.10's), I can say from real world experience that 3.73 gears are BETTER for WOT from a roll. First of all, if the race is from a roll the advantage of higher (numerically) gear getting you into your power...

    Opinions on first mods

    Your first performance mod should always be stickers. Lots of stickers. Prolly start out with a Type R sticker, if your stock blinker fluid can handle it. Then get a fart can tail pipe. And then that's a perfect time to replace your muffler bearings. :D J/K...

    Clutch install cost

    I am on borrowed time with my clutch (engages in the last 1/8 or pedal swing). So I probably need to do that this winter. Anyone had a shop do their install lately, and care to share how much it ran you? I do plan on doing it myself, but just curious what a shop might charge. Labor alone...

    POS Car!!!!!!!

    Could your spout be bad? You said you pulled it and plugged it in while running. I'm just guessing here, but I was told not to do that too. Don't know why. But maybe disconnecting the spout while running could damage something.

    Bolt size? Cat back to mid pipe

    Thanks Scott. I ended up using a 2 1/2 inch of the same thread depth you mentioned. And while I was at it, I adjusted the catback to push it a little bit more away from the tank and subframe rail. Cleaned up the rattling. Much nicer now.

    Bolt size? Cat back to mid pipe

    Does anyone know the bolt size for the connector between the cat back and the mid pipe? One of mine fell out, and I'd like to run to the parts store and get it.

    Which intake for a nearly stock '94 GT?

    +2 And have an aftermarket cam put in your rebuilt motor for god's sake. Seriously, that would be like falling off a log. Just get a mild cam at least, please (ie, AFM B31).

    come talk me out of getting 4.30 gears(or in)

    My first real performance type mod was the 4.10 gears I installed myself. They were great . . . for a while. But it really does get silly shifting outa 1st so quick. Especially once I did my HCI, 4.10's would have felt kinda dumb to me. So I dialed it back to 3.73. And I think this is the...

    Just got a ticket, and I punked the cop. lol

    Sorry but one mistake on a ticket does not make it inadmissable or automatically get a ticket thrown out. No offense but that's silly. It probably is good advice to always appear in court and challenge a ticket with whatever reasonable position you have. And pointing out mistakes should...

    Edelbrock performer or performer RPM

    Neither, get a Kenne Belle blower as your upper. :banana: Seriously though, I think it kinda depends on what your goals are. Max hp = Performer RPM. Performance street driver probably means Performer. The RPM is a higher RPM intake and will probably produce a few more ponies. But it might...

    American Thunder....40 series?

    Going from 50 series delta flow to 40 series delta flow (or 3 to 2 chamber if you prefer to call them by that name) will increase volume some. But the Am. Thunder cat-back already comes with the 40 series delta flow 2 chamber mufflers. Like said above, the biggest change you can make...

    Am I hurting my motor by shifting at 6k?

    One thought on running to redline, it's probably OK as long as you are not doing it all the time. In my mind the problem with hitting redline everytime you go WOT is not that running the motor at that speed will necessarily cause a problem. It's the few times you overrev past where you intend...
