Sales, and all things pertinent (beyond sponsorship) belong in the Classifieds. Thank you.

This actually happened 11/7 but the insurance company has been dragging it's heels on getting things going. Oh, well - it's courtesy of Sherwin Williams and the dumbass 18 wheeler driver. He clipped my left rear quarter panel and I spun out and hit the center concrete wall. I have no idea...

OK Stangers - my problem is as described above. I have to really push the shifter hard in 1st and 3rd usually grinds no matter how hard I push the shifter. When I'm in 5th gear it will just pop out randomly. When I shift into 2nd & 4th it feels like a firm shift (goes in all the way) but 1, 3...

If this doesn't belong in tech, my apologies. I have had my H&R SS's for 2 weeks now and I'm still waiting on my CC plates. I don't think I can wait until NEXT Saturday to install my springs. Would I be doing a disservice to myself installing the springs now and the CC plates when they come...

OK, I just got my tuner ans flashed the PCM and test drove it. I flashed it with the 93 octane tune and didn't adjust any other parameters where spark/fuel were concerned. When I drove it i got a lot of pinging at WOT. What should I adjust to get rid of the detonation? It only seems to...

What a great shifter! Short throw nothin' - it's more like no throw! Really tight and it practically shifts into 3rd by itself. I highly recommend this shifter to anyone thinking about getting rid of the POS stocker. :banana:

1. At what point in your list of mods done does one decide it's worth the cost of a dyno tune, or do you wait until you're finished modding? 2. Where in the Dallas, TX area is the best place to go? See mod's in signature - I'm installing my FRPP 4.10 gear next weekend and I hope to do a...

Well, I just ordered my FRPP 4.10 gear and I'm going to install it myself. I've read every how-to I can find and it doesn't really sound that hard if you have the proper tools. So I also bought a 1" dial indicator with a magnetic base, a dial caliper and a buddy of mine has the torque wrenches...

Can you use cats on long tubes or are they strickly o/r? I want a Prochamber with longtubes but I'm not sure I can get away with an o/r pipe in Dallas. Do I need to re-think my exhaust plans or is there a way to get a state inspection in Dallas without a hassle?

I've been considering a mid-pipe and headers for a while, posted a couple of threads and determined that the new BBK shorties might be my best option (so I can be sure to fit cats on for emissions). I am also pretty sure I want to go with Dr. Gas to go with my Flow's. I've listened to the...

OK, we all know (OK, most of us) the what RWHP means and we know that torque is the seat-of-the-pants (SOTP) thrill you get on acceleration. Please don't reply to fix my words or grammar; that is not not what this thread is all about. Here goes: Torque is seen expressed as xxx Ft. Lbs...

I have chrome Bullit wheels (stock size) with 245/45/ZR17's on them. I was at Discount Tire yesterday to have my routine rotate & balance when we discovered that one wheel has a flat spot on the inside requireing over 9 oz's of weight to attempt to balance it. We never could get it balanced...

If I plan to stay N/A, will I see much gain (HP or TQ) or will it generallly only help with forced induction? If N/A gains are worthwhile, is it low or high end? I'm still a newbie to mods and there is almost too much to digest. Thanks.

Based on my previous post I have decided to go with the 4.10 gear (I have a 5 speed vert with no plans to go forced induction). Now should I get a Speed Cal and sell it later, get an off the shelf chip, a programmer or put up with an inaccurate speedo until I have all my mod's and get a dyno...

I have only done a very few basic mod's - removed silencer, K&N replacement filter and Flowmaster mufflers. I am on a tight budget, have no desire to race at the track (or street really) but I hate having a "stock" vert. I want the neck snapping torque (eventually) but I don't think a S/C is...

I am confused as to which exhaust upgrades I can do and still be able to pass the sniff test in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I hear L/T and mid pipes will fail you (and possibly the visual too). That leaves mufflers and/or a cat-back system. Then I read posts that say shorties aren't worth the...
