    L/Ts + an existing Bassani X Ques?

    What track rim/tire SIZE combo are you using?

    Hey everyone... Well I've had the car for over 5 years now, and am planning on taking it on the track (1/4mi) mid April for the first time. Obviously traction is already an issue, and combined with what I've read of zMax's all-concrete track here, I'm thinking it wouldnt be a bad idea to get...

    Rear Spring Isolators on a '99

    Hey all- About a year ago I had a Bilstein BTS kit installed, which included all 4 shock/struts and springs... it made a good ride except im still close to 1/4" lower in the rear than the front. It's especially annoying when there's anything additional in the trunk. Are there any spring...

    Is a Throttle Body worth the $$?

    Reading a lot of threads and hearing both sides, no hp gain VS small gain depending on your mods, single blade accufab VS a bbk. Anyone had good results, worth the $300 to $400? Current motor-wise mods are just the JLT CAI, and hopefully a full exhaust/tune in the next couple of months.
