Thanks for all the help and support over the last year guys. Had the car just a little less than a year. I made the decision this morning. The accident was on July 23, so it goes to show you how long it took the body shop and insurance company. There was over $19k worth of damage. We were...
I have posted the fact that my snake is wrecked in a couple of other threads, but here is a new question. Is there anyway to force the insurance company to total the car. The unibody is tweeked, not sure how bad. The body shop's inital estimate for repair was about $20,500. The insurance...
Well, I am fairly certain my car is totaled. On a good note, it was paid off. I got the title about 2 weeks ago. Found a 2003 H2 w/17k on the clock for 40k. Fair market value for my car should be ~ 28-30k based on what my insurance is telling me. Had lots of fun in the snake but I don't...
Wrecked the snake today. Prolly going to get totaled. Damage to the front and the rear. I wasn't driving fast, it was a very hot day, short rain burst made the pavement very very slick. Rear end kicked out in a sharp curve, got a Toyota Corrolla with the front (glancing blow), then spun...
My Nitto DRs didn't get here in time so my 60' times aren't that good, but I had 6 runs today. Here they are you guys that know more about this than me, please give me some advice. BTW, this was my first time on a track ever.
#1 -- Best Run
60'--2.11
12.74 @ 112.02
#2
60'--2.27

I borrowed a Beltronic vector fx2 from a buddy of mine. Are they accurate or just a waste of money.
I did (3) 1/4 mile runs on the street today (never ran on a track).
I borrowed the unit so that I could work on launching the car, I am going to the track my first time on Saturday.
Here...
Well, ran my first tank of gas after the power mods. I got 16.2 mpg (that is in town and using every bit of the 14.5 lbs of boost or so). I never ever got that before. The best I got before was about 15.6. Can't wait to see what I get on the highway.
I just installed the pulley and idlers last weeks, got decent numbers on the dyno, but I seem to have alot of belt dust. It is a gatorback belt. Is alot of dust normal after you first install a new belt. The alignment looks fine. Thanx in advance
Had to go back to the stock MAF, couldn't get the a/f to come down, but here they are. 84 degrees about 80% humidity on a Dynojet dyno with the mods in the sig.
448.5RWHP/465.3RWTQ
If someone can host, I would like to have your opinions about the a/f spread. Thanx in advance.
Can someone who has used the Motoblue pulley tool please answer some questions for me. The hood is up, idlers on, this is the last step
Thanx in advance
Got my car back from the shop on Thursday. I now have every suspension mod that Steeda makes installed on my car. This thing handles like my buddy's SVT Focus now. Absolutely incredible. Also have Bassani Catted X and catback and Accufab TB and plenum installed. The 2.8, idlers, 95mm MAF...
Got my car back from the shop today. I now have every suspension mod that Steeda makes for our cars installed. I am going to a car show tomorrow so I will get some pics of the ride height for the new design Steeda springs. This thing handles like my buddy's SVT Focus now. Absolutely...
There have been several neg posts about RPM (I did a search). Just wanted to put in a plug for them. On Tuesday of last week, I ordered the following:
SS Bassani catted X and catback
2.8 Pulley
Pulley puller
Complete Idler set
Accufab TB and painted plenum
95MM Maf
Monday, it all...
I saw the most horrible shocking thing that I have seen in a while. My installer is installing every single Steeda suspension mod that we can put on our cars. He called me and told me since he was this far into to bring the exhaust (Bassani SS catted X and catback, which was laying in my...
Ok, ditch all the jokes about a vacuum pump. Just had to get that out of the way. :bash:
Seriously, all power mods will be in this week. I ordered the overlay from Ray H. Does anyone have a good place to rent, (borrow) a vacuum pump to re-calibrate the boost gauge. Thanx in advance.

I have all this stuff on order and will be installing it next week. How much rwhp do you guys expect I will see.
Starting point 382.3 RWHP (Steeda CAI only)
adding
accufab tb
Mac 95mm MAF
2.8 pulley w/all three idlers
Bassani Catted X and Catback
Predator Custom tune from Rick at...
Did the search didn't get much info.
Just wanted some input on how accurate these things are, in general. Dynojet dyno -- the closest one to me. Doing extensive mods next week and don't want to screw up.
Thanx
Don
Ok, my buddy has a 96 GT in Tangerine Orange Metalic. It has a weird engine in it. He is the second owner. The first guy bought the car new, (he ordered it) the car wouldn't run right. The dealer did a PCM reprogram with a Cobra program and the car runs great. Stock (except 3.73 gears) he...
I am installing the following mods next week. Bassani exhaust, (Catted X and Catback), 2.8 Pulley, 95mm MAF, Predator, Accufab.
I am going to install it all except the pulley and idler, will do that when I get to the dyno. Just wanted to make sure I would be safe for the 20-30 minute drive...
Not trying to freak anyone out, I am not that dumb, but I needed to get your attention so that I can get an answer.
This coming week I will be installing, Accufab TB, 2.8, 95mm Maf, Predator, Bassani catted X and Catback, NGK TR6s.
Here is the question?
As long as I stay out of the...
Buying lots of mods next week. Exhaust, TB, pulley, predator, MAF. My car is a daily driver, I want to make it stronger, but I also want to maintain drivablitly. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance.
