These are four STOCK rims that came off of a new '06 Dodge Charger SE (6 cylinder 3.5L High Output) that I purchased in 2005 - less than 200 miles. They come with the hub caps. These hub caps fooled me at the dealership (when I got home and realized they were caps, I had rims put on the...

285/40ZR18 - these are the original tires on the car - less than 400 miles on them - I immediately put BFGs on the back - now at 2200 miles the BFGs are BALD!! Anyway, I won't be going back to the stockers - make me a reasonable offer and they are yours - sorry no pics, but this dam forum...

These are Drag Radials 555R - they have less than 300 miles on them - they are designed for the drag strip and to be street legal. I switched to Mickey Thompsons (more consistent at the drag strip, but TERRIBLE in the rain) right after I bought these. I sold the 04 Cobra they came off of...

I have a quick question about the pulley - I have a pulley puller from Billetflow that I used on my 04 Cobra - can I use it on the GT-500? Thanks in advance.

I might go to the track tomorrow - first time on ET Street Radials. I've used Nitto 555s and Nitto DR before. MT website says heavy burnout not required and 12-16 PSI. I'm thinking do a decent burnout and run first at 16psi - any thoughts? I'm trying to hook; haven't had any luck except two...

I've searched through the forums, but my problem is different. The others talk about gear whine from the shifter area at speed or high rpms. I just noticed in the past couple of weeks that I get a high pitch whine mainly in neutral with the clutch out (like at a stop light). It goes away once...

Hey all - I'm running the nitto 555r's on my Cobra now, but ever since I did the pulley and tuning upgrade, I can't get any traction street or strip. Even after a dry heat-up at the track, I spin like crazy. I used the nitto DR's before, and got about 8k miles before they were bald. I'm...

So I called Doug a couple of weeks ago and took the plunge - 2.93 and 100mm idler w/ new idler bracket - followed his suggestion for a gates belt. Got the pulley and the belt the same day. Installed them last weekend. Thanks to tips from you guys, went very smooth. :pepper: Never did get...

I'm halfway through with putting a 2.93 pulley on (and idler), and it looks like I have to take the tensioner off to replace the belt. Do I have to remove the tensioner, and is it only the three obvious bolts that need to be removed to pull the tensioner? Thanks in advance! :beer: :shrug:

Hey guys, I just got my box full of goodies from Doug. I know this may seem like a retarded question, but I am NOT a newbie (I've pulled engines, pulled and reinstalled a transmission myself in one afternoon with handtools, etc.). No instructions whatsoever. I want to know how to assemble the...

Hey all. I remember seeing something somewhere that said you had make some changes to improve the throttle response due to the drive by wire. Anybody know what they are? Are we talking about a tune? Thanks in advance.

I was browsing around and I came across the brisk plugs. Claims of up to 20 hp with just a plug change have been made. I am skeptical. Anyone use 'em; anyone swear by 'em? :beer:

Can someone please post the following TSB? I'm interested, because my Cobra has it. Thanks in advance!!! :beer: Service Bulletin Num : 16069 Date of Bulletin: JUL 01, 2002 NHTSA Item Number: 636265 Component: POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT

I know last time I bought nittos (the DRs) I got them online for around 150 each approximately 320 shipped (for 2) then paid around 40 to get them mounted. I can't remember where I bought them from, though. Also, now I want the 555s so I can get a little extra life out of them. The 555s...

Hey all, I read about the MGW shifter a little while ago - it was still a prototype then. Now that it's been out a while - can a few of you who have installed and run it for a while tell me how you like it? Years ago, I went with a Pro 5.0, then had problems with the shifter bolts in the...
