Anyone running Granatelli COP on their N/A 99+? I noticed them on a few websites but haven't heard of anyone running them. Are they worth any power, throttle response etc.?

Problem is that Granatelli is the only one making 99+ COP stuff. I would try it if it weren't so overpriced...

I hear ya with the price (about $500). Was willing to give them a try. I would be satistifed even if I just benefited from better throttle response and a few HP and TQ.

I agree don't get the Granatelli control arms whatever you do.
All the Granatelli stuff is junk.
Also avoid SHM like the plauge!

Yes, him AND his company do, and this is the only site out there that doesn't have himself and his ego posting bullchit on here, and I would like to keep it that way

I just got a set of Maximum Motorsport's LCA, let me tell you I am impressed. They are well built, the quality is second to none, they are made from thick tubular steel and are super solid. I got the street/strip ones with spherical bushings on the axle end and urethane bushings on the car side. I can't wait to get them installed.

I've got the Granatelli COP connector kit on order from JC Whitney. $99 and free shipping. Proof is rolling in with dyno numbers and resistance readings of the connectors. Blown 2v's in the 400hp range are seeing 10-20 rwhp increases with the full kit.

The connectors seemed to be the biggest bang for the buck versus the whole COP kit for 400. Also, 2v motors benefit more than the 4v due to the 4v stock connectors having less resistance. There's explanations out there why the difference which I'm not going to get into. I haven't seen much here on it.

How do I put it, it's like the stock connectors on Viagra.

people with very hight hp boosted cars were getting good results with them. As for quality they are too new to judge that yet.
