    2012 GT500 safe max power with stock exhaust manifolds

    I have a similar setup to you. I originally left my manifolds and just did off-road hpipe. I did it due to cost. A couple years later I bit the bullet and added headers. I think it gained 20-25 hp but more importantly the torque below 3,000 rpm felt so much stronger. Yea it’s pricey and not the...

    Justified Response??? | Race Track Fight

    Racing for a win and he got hit off track. Understandable that he is mad, but you cant stop the race basically and you and your crew try to fight with him in car. That has to wait until after race.

    1994 Ford Thunderbird & Mercury Cougar XR-7 | Retro Review

    My mom bought a 97 model right when I turned 16 and started driving, it was a pearl white color. Thing was awesome. Even though it isn’t fast by todays standards, it was pretty quick for its time. I won many a race with it in high school. The one I remember most is my friend who’s mom had got a...

    Dyno after 1320 port job

    Cat monkey Now that this thread is back up I want to tell you, you were right. The hump was cut out. I didn’t ask for it so I assumed it wasn’t done. I guess he just started doing all of them like that at the end. Still happy with it 1.5 years later.

    Duralast Max Ceramic Brake Pads DGC1001 discontinued what's everyone using now??

    do they still make the duralast gold ceramic pads? I had those on my car for years and they were great. I replaced my rotors a couple years ago and I decided to change pads while I was at it and they upgraded me to the max ones. I said cool deal and took them, but would have been perfectly fine...

    Track night

    No snow, but we just got finished getting hit by by a category 2 almost 3 hurricane. In late October no less. My lights just got turned on at 3:30 pm yesterday. Thank god it was a fast mover and a cold front came thru right after. Only 2 days out of electricity. I will take it. 10-20 miles below...

Kooks headers and off-road hpipe. 3:73 gears Suspension upgrades first...

    Getting the 60ft Down

    Would you mind sharing what you settled on as your shock settings with the Vikings? Or just give us a range to try out? I have bmr and Viking shocks myself and just wondering.

    To Lower, or not to Lower...that's the question

    10-4. I will try that and see and work from there. I was just wondering. To get it to work on the street like I want I may just have to put up with a lil bounce at slow speeds. Thanks for your settings.

    To Lower, or not to Lower...that's the question

    I literally just did this setup last month. I got a bouncy ride until about 45. I think I figured the bouncy ride out last night, but I had to tighten the strange struts all the way. Now it doesn’t transfer weight like it was and doesn’t grip as well. What is your setting on the strange and...

    Spark Plug Removal

    I have done it quite a few times and never had a problem. It’s very easy to do too. I think that spark plug problem was just for certain year 3v that had those bad spark plugs that would break apart

    Dyno after 1320 port job

    no it’s just the regular port job, I didn’t even think to do that. my supercharger was bad off inside. 1320 thought it came off a blown engine. The guy I originally bought it from thought he had blown his and they had scratches on the rotors from some metal that got inside it. He sold it to me...

    Dyno after 1320 port job

    did you make a thread about it? I would love to read about your results and see if it matches mine. After driving my car more I totally agree with you, it definitely pulls harder from 3000 on. Yea I kinda looked hard at just getting a gen 3, but I was like screw it, I rather port mine even...

    Dyno after 1320 port job

    thanks cat monkey. I don’t really know how to post pics on here too good. And yes it’s just the port job that is the difference. The before was done before they took supercharger off. It closely matches my old dyno sheets ( slightly more hp about +10, slightly less torque about -10) . If I heard...

    worthwhile performance gains from 2.5" exhaust to 3"

    this is what I was basically told when I was researching the same question a couple years ago, so I just kept the stock 2.5 on mine.

    Dyno after 1320 port job

    Recently got my car back from the shop. Got my trinity blower porter by 1320 junkie. I have attached the before and after on 100 octane torco tune. Pretty happy with the gains. I know people say it’s hard to feel that difference at these power levels, but the car feels like it pulls cleaner and...

    I swear I have the worst luck in the world!

    I know what you mean. Can I handle this? I don’t use it all that often. It’s not that bad. Those thoughts went thru my head for the two months I had mine

    I swear I have the worst luck in the world!

    Yep that’s how corsa’s are built. Honestly though, once it gets covered in carbon inside you won’t really notice it and once on the car you gotta basically get on ground to see them I am not sure what that black looking stuff around the tip is. It should be a weld bead but it doesn’t look like...

    Advice for some mufflers with no drone

    I can’t wait to see how the corsa sports are. Like I said I had the original ones, but not sure what they compare to.

    Long tubes vs. O/R pipe

    I forgot I had a copy of my Dyno on phone. I attached it for you. Those are the two runs , manifolds vs long tubes. No other changes. Unfortunately I don’t see anything about the boost. Like I said it was a good 2 lbs for sure. That would be great for you to get you to 18 lbs or a lil lower

    Long tubes vs. O/R pipe

    I think I was at 18 or so without longtubes. After the long tubes I think it is high 15 to right at 16 if I remember correctly. Also I forgot to put in original post that the long tubes made a tremendous difference in torque. I think that’s why I like it so much. I think it was 40-50 lbs...
