VT stage 1 cams and headers?????'s

[big T]

Will be doing the stage 1's pretty soon. Want to put the JBA cat forwards (headers) on and wondering how much total rwhp could I expect from the combo. Want to put long tubes, but car is too low unless there is a long tube with good ground clearence that I can use...Any recommendations for long tubes?

prolly 40-43hp. I have no issues with my Mac LT's scraping.

good luck

How low do the drag springs drop it. I have Mac LT's also and Steeda sports with about 1.5" drop. No problems with the LT's hitting, if anything the prochamber hits.
Go LT's. Shorties aren't worth it. IMHO.

5.0 magazine got like 3rwhp from shorties

From a 99-04 gt, stock or modded, manual or auto, which shorties? Drag springs drop the rear by about 1.5" and the only dirrerence than lowering springs is on take off where the drag springs allow the rear to drop down...transfer weight better.

Big T how do you like that stall and is it like a stock when driving on the street?

Honestly, when I first put it in, I didn't like the fact that the rears spun so much (street tires), but when I changed to dr's...I LIKE alot! Not really a difference from stock just when u mash it...takes off. Like dropping a clutch in a manual car. Best mod to date for me.

hmm lets see.. if you don't go LT's.. i say with your current mods and shorties plus the cams I'd put you at about 280rwhp

But with the stall can u just take off normal just give it a tad of gas and she gose like stock?

I cant remember exactly but i remember it was an 02 and i believe it was a 5spd. I think they were bassani but im not for certain. I remember from what they gathered shorties are pretty much pointless on the modulars...

How are the stage 2's? I dont see heads in your mods list, are they in the future or their not really needed. I would love to run the stage 2's, but dont know how they would be with the shorties and stock heads.

I love the stage 2's. I still have the stock heads and would love to get some aftermarket ones.. but right now I'm more focused on getting the power I have effecienty to the ground. I'd rather have a built rearend than heads right now Heads will be far off in the future lol
