    I am ready to take it to the next level and add a supercharger or turbo. I wanted to do the junkyard turbo but it is to much of a PITA on a SN95. What is the cheapest supercharger/turbo for 94-95? I know they have limits with the hyper pistons as well. How much boost can I get away...

    2 stupid gauge questions...

    I just installed 2 Autometer Cobalt gauges. One is a fuel pressure gauge and the other is a vac/boost gauge. My first problem is, where can I wire the power for the gauges so it does not turn off when the car is starting. What is happening is the vac/boost gauge is zeroing out when you...

    Should I gut my stock MAF?

    I have read so many posts about gutting the stock MAF. The posts are both good and bad. I, like all, am looking to free some power up. I have done all the exhaust work and want to start on the intake side. I am not pinging yet and really don't want to. All the posts I have seen argue...

    Bearing retainer question???

    I have a 94-05 gt and just got a new T5 for it. The input shaft bearing retainer on the new T5 is a little different. My old one and the new one are the same length meaning the retainer stops at the same point as the old one and the input shaft has the same length as the old one. But the new...

    Where can I get a NEW 95-94 T5

    I have been looking all over for a new T5 for my 94-95 GT Vert. I can not find one anywhere. I see lots of NEW 87-93 T5's for $1,100 but no 94-95's. I wasted my mainshaft, 1st and 2nd gears. After I got the prices on mainshaft, gears and a syncro/rebuild/bearing kit I am just better off...

    What transmission should I get if any?

    I tore into my T5 because 2nd gear was grinding. I wanted to get just the 2nd gear Syncros, but the only thing I am able to get is the output shaft assy for $400 plus 2nd gear for $80. I wonder if I am stepping on my dick to put all that money into fixing the tranny or should I just get a new...

    Do I have a T5 world class or not

    Does a 1994 GT come with a world class t5? I need to rebuild it and don't know what kit to order. I am guessing since it takes syncromesh ATF that it is, but I just want to make sure.
