    New TVS owner!!!

    Well I finally did it... Brand new gen2 TVS, 3" upper only, 60lb inj, vmp bap, vmp3000 maf, and a Lfp sbtb. Thought I'd keep it simple to start with. At least, till I can afford to go return/ e85. So for now I just needed enough power to beat a particular friend of mine with an antique kb2.2...

    Abs light + dyno day= fail

    So a little back ground. My abs light started coming on intermittently last year, but for the last several months it comes on within minutes or even seconds of starting the car. It's not been a big deal really since I always manually turn off traction control. I know with the abs light on...

    04 cobra vs h/c gto

    This was a couple weeks ago. I had stopped at a gas station on my way to get the cobra inspected. As I was walking out I hear this mean ass lopey idle coming from a gto sitting at the pumps. Then I see the owner, and it's someone i know. So I pull around and start talkn. He says it's an ls1 with...

    10 spline input shaft?

    I was wondering how much power can the stock 10 spline input shaft handle safely? I know alot depends on driving style, but is there a actual threshold for them? The reason I'm asking is because I'll be replacing my stock clutch after 85k miles, and I'm 99% sure I'm going to splurge on an rxt...

    Help deciding... Borla or SLP

    Alright I'm finally ready to buy an actual catback. Just can't decide between the two. Always loved the stingers, but just couldn't justify the price. So I thought I made my mind up on SLP's LM2's, but found Summit Racing is selling the stingers for 667.95. I believe the LM2's are 649.95...

    ST Turbo specs?

    I was looking into buying an ST model to replace my dd, but I couldn't find any info on the turbo in particular. Such as make, size, stock boost#'s. Not that it matters as I'm pretty well sold on the car already. Just curious though if anyone had some info. On another note, how easy would it...

    Ok so on my way home from work I come across a biker that wont let me pass him.(4 lane city road) Every time I switch lanes to go by he speeds up. After the second time he does this I realize this is the same biker that has done this to me before. Never knew why, but 3 or 4 weeks earlier on my...

    IAT over 140*???

    Just wondering what is the maximum safe IAT we should be seeing is? The reason I ask is because I had to replace my old jlt cai with the stock tube minus the air box(basically a RAI w/ stock parts), and I was doing some data logging to record the difference. While sitting at the drive tru...

    do our cars have eccentric bolt's?

    Tried to get an alignment after I did my H&R race springs, but the tech said I needed an eccentric bolt to adjust the camber on the rear wheels. I guess there is supposed to be one according to him, but said he couldn't find it... First off I don't know what this is? Second is why...

    Suspicious Purchase???

    Ok so I just received my used oil cooler in the mail today. Open the box and there is a milky oily substance seeping out of it. The packaging paper is stained with this substance as well. The whole reason I ordered a new oil cooler is because mine is damaged and was mixing the oil and...

    Ok so I pulled my car in this morning. Walked back out to go to work in my truck, and noticed a sizable oil puddle where my car sat. So I get home discover it's not motor oil. It's power steering fluid(I think). Get under the car to see where the leak is coming from.(sry I dont know what...

    Why is my torque so much higher than my hp?

    Had the car dyno'd for the first time with impressive results, but from what I've seen guy's torgues numbers are generally higher than the hp. Just not by this much... 455rwhp/ 501rwtq (SAE corrected 442rwhp/ 487rwtq) That's a difference of 45. Anyone else seen that big of a difference on a...

    Can I fix this myself??? w/ sct handheld

    Alll right here's the run down. Bought an 04 cobra in April. All mods and tune done by previous owner. Mods are in my sig. Finally made it to the dyno (House of Boost) in Lenaxa, KS for those of you in the KC area. Found out that there is 24* of timing on a 93oct tune(all I have is 91oct...

    A/F too lean. have questions???

    I recently found out that my A/F ratio is 12.5. I bought the car with a 93oct tune, but since MO sucks all I can run is 91oct. Would this be the reason my car leaning out, and if so would adding octane boost help to solve this problem. At least until I can have the car dyno tuned for 91oct...

    24* of timing on an upper only???

    Ok so I finally made it out to "House of Boost" to have the car dyno'd, and found out that the tune loaded on the car is running 24* of timing on a 93oct tune. I don't have 93oct in my area so I've been using 91oct instead. Which is probably why my a/f ratio is 12.5. Is this safe at all...

    Advise on belt size...

    I had to replace one of my stock idler pulleys yesterday, with another stock idler from a friend. Any ways I used CobraBob's belt size chart to find my combo(2.76 upper, single 100mm idler, everything else is stock) and his chart says that I need a 74'' belt. 74'' belt was way too short, so I...
