Mod questions....Help the Girl out! :D

#21
Some of what I am going to post has been mentioned already. But here is my $.02.........

Gears- I would go with 4.10's As you know, your car will not gain any HP, but it will drastically improve the SOTP (for Stacy......Seat Of The Pants ;) ) meter.

X-Pipe - I've heard nothing but good things about the Dr. Gas. Only downfall is you have to weld it together as mentioned.

UD Pullies- I'd go with Steeda.

Springs- I had Eibachs (Pro Kit) on my GT and it looked good, IMO. Ride was a little harsher than stock, but not too bad. Install wasn't hard at all. Make sure to get an alignment after the springs settle.

CAI- Like everyone else is saying....they are a waste of money. Not worth it on a GT.


Good luck with everything. :nice:

Hey, I would get a Steeda Tri-Ax shifter. They really make shifting fun and easy. As far as springs Steeda and Eibach are AROUND the same price and are identical. So whatever you find a deal on go for it! If you do opt for a gear change I would get some 3.73's, that will give you some extra "oomph" in each gear without being a pain to drive in weather :)

Good luck, it looks like your're off to a great start!

Are changing gears known for making our cars a pain to drive in weather conditions? Also what will a Tri-Ax shifter do? Improve speed, gain...?

Thanks!

With the gears you just have to be a little more careful during wet conditions. I didn't even try to take the stang out in the snow so I can't comment on that. You will see a decrease in your gas mileage, but not by too much.I think an aftermarket shifter will make shifting smoother, easier, all around letting you shift faster. I don't drive a stick though, so I'm just guessing.

I have heard alot about Dr. Gas, but unsure where I would get it welded around my area. Plus the cost too.

By the time I get done taking all of your guys advise on here..........I'm gonna be BROKE! :rlaugh: But its allll worth it!


Thanks Again guys, and Stacey!!!

when it comes to x pipes, you have 3 choices:
dr gas,
dr gas,
and dr gas. nothing else compares IMO. at 4000rpms the engine comes alive with a crazy sound, it sounds like a UFO or something.
also, i am VERY pleased with my c&l combo. get it

im sorry to all that believe CAI is a worthless mod... but it is my opinion that its definatly not... while a K&N filter helps over the stock for full powerband HP... the CAI really helped me in high rpm(4000-6000).... the engine pulls a lot harder than it did with a k&n and thats the only mod ive done since... its not worthless

Please do not post bad information. If you do a search and read all of the data on CAI's you will see why we say they arent worth more than 50 bucks, if that.

I'm sure my FIPK helped a little, but I wonder if I would've gotten the same results with just the K & N filter. :shrug: I don't think it was worth the $200 I spent on it.
