    Check valve (PCV) - TVS

    I have a TVS setup on my car and breathers installed along with a oil cap breather. On the passenger side the one way check valve is still installed. I can't really wrap my head around how the system operates. I've asked vendors like JPC about this in the past and they said no need to remove...

    Replacing GT500 AB

    I have single tip GT500 mufflers on this 2014 5.0 car. Stock headers, lethal off-road H, lethal OAP with resonators welded in. I'd like to replace the mufflers I have now with something: 1. Little to no rasp 2. 4" or larger rolled tips 3. Can be louder, not quieter Does such a thing exist in...

    HE Fans

    I read DOB's article on the HE fans and am considering removing them. Has anyone actually done testing before and after under similar ambient air and driving conditions to determine the effect? I mean in a real supercharged car and not sticking the HE on top of a truck. Just bought a set of...

    MT S/S vs M&H on 18x8

    I know the M&H will fit on a stock rim but will the MT S/S? The latter is a cheaper option. Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S Tires 90000028443 275/45/r18

    Best DR for stock wheels

    Car is a 2014 GT w/the stock 18x8.5 wheels. Are the M&H 275/45r18 still the best option 27.2-29" tall? Car is not lowered and I want something that will fit the stock wheels. Filling out the wheel well a little better is a plus, don't want to go any shorter than stock OD.

    vibrant j style o2 spacers

    Got a set of these to try out. These have three different "jet" sizes you can choose from. What would be the best jet size to choose on these? I'd like to get this right the first time since the midpipe may need to come out for the install. Thanks...

    lethal oap and condensation

    I have a set of lethal oap and I can't get them to stop dripping water on cold starts. I can't hear or feel a leak but the evidence is there in the water that drips down. It is coming from the clamps highest up where the pipes go over the axle. I've moved the clamps around and re-tightened...

    need o2 defoulers

    The vibrant aren't going to work in my car. I was able to get the driver side in but the passenger side is interfered by the transmission pan. I know they make a j-style option. May be worth a shot. Extensions are a pita to install too since I can't get a hand up to disconnect the sensor...

    outlaws vs gt500 axle backs

    Hard to find first hand comparisons on this and I've done some googling. Anyone who has had both care to comment? Preferably with stock headers and offroad H + resonators. Thinking about giving the outlaws a try. Have the GT500 single tips right now. From what I have read: 1) Outlaws have a...

    WA state race tracks

    Not looking to put a roll bar or cage in my 2014 tvs car. Are there any race tracks in WA state that will not kick you off for running in the 10s? I understand bremerton and pacific are out. Mods feel free to please move if this is the wrong section. Wasn't sure where it fit. Not really...

    mosaleen belt problems

    Does anyone have one of these systems installed? I have a TVS with a 72mm pulley on a 2014 car. When I start the car the belt immediately walks forward onto the snout. I put a picture on here to show what happens. The larger bolt at the bottom with the big spacer (not in photo) has a ground...

    How are you gentlemens? I am considering at some point picking up a set of weld rts. I want 17" on all four corners with 17x7 up front and 17x10 out back. I've noticed that when I look at these on websites for sale they show a back space figure along with an offset. I'm not used to...

    roush boost gauge flutter

    Just installed a 72mm pulley and 90mm idler onto my TVS system. At or near maximum boost of around 11psi the gauge seems to get a little bit of flutter. Around .5-1psi. Is this an abnormal situation or should that needle be pretty much rock steady? Boost is low due to altitude FYI. DA...

    2.3 tvs efficiency range

    I have googled until my fingers went number but I cannot locate any information. How small a pulley can you run before this compressor begins to get out of it's efficiency range? :read:
