    Bad throw out bearing or time for a rebuild?

    I've been noticing a lot of noise coming from the transmission lately and am slowly losing hope in it being a bad T/O bearing. It started off fairly quiet but is now starting to sound like a power steering pump low on fluid. When revving the car in neutral with the clutch out the sound gets...

    Exhaust rattle

    Was that on the stock cat-back? My exhaust is mostly stock except for the H pipe. I'm hoping it may be the EGR but it probably isn't.

    Exhaust rattle

    I've got an exhaust rattle on my 04 GT and it's starting to drive me nuts. It started out really quiet on a cold start up and is now becoming louder and lasting longer as the exhaust heats up and expands. It sounds like it is coming from the front of the car. I know it isn't the O/R H pipe...

    Handheld tuner question for 04 GT

    Thanks guys. I have a few mods but I think for the price it's worth trying. I'll be happy if it takes another tenth of my quarter mile time.

    Handheld tuner question for 04 GT

    I found a used Predator tuner in my area for $125. I was wondering if I should go ahead and buy it or save up for an SCT. I have heard better things about the SCT and I don't really know of any local tuners that use the Diablosport. But $125 seems like a pretty decent deal. :shrug: Any help...

    4.10s in a t5

    Sorry to make another gear thread but i just bought a 8.8 rear end with 4.10 gears. I'm swapping out my 7.5 with what i believe are 2.73s. Will this be too much gear for the car? I have always been under the impression that 4.10s were the gears you wanted for track use. It runs high 13s with the...

    13.7 in lightly modded 2v

    You beat me to it. I guess I'm making a trip up to Norwalk if its open. Hopefully it's pretty consistent with D42. But ill honestly be happy even if it runs a 13.9.

    13.7 in lightly modded 2v

    I honestly don't know how fast it should be. Like I said that was my first run and first time at the track in this car. The only other reason i can think of is maybe I got a little back draft from the wind that day. I do know that the track is fairly accurate. The Cobalt SS/SC was running 14.5s...

    13.7 in lightly modded 2v

    I'm not saying it was all that fast, I just wanted to know why the guys at the track were so surprised by it. Hopefully one of these day's ill learn to launch and run some better times.

    13.7 in lightly modded 2v

    Yeah after reading his first post I'm not too sure why I got my panties in a bunch. I guess I'm just a little touchy today.

    Sorry i took it the wrong way. I may have read into it a little too far. My bad :cheers:

    13.7 in lightly modded 2v

    This was at dragway 42 in west salem ohio. It was about 55 degrees out. I've been going to this track for years and have no reason to doubt the times. The one other 2v there had a CAI, Trick Flow TB and plenum, SCT tune, catted x pipe, and i can't remember if he had drag radials or not. He was...

    13.7 in lightly modded 2v

    I beat a bone stock 3v GT with a 14 flat even after missing 3rd gear. He ran a 14.1 with a passenger so I'm sure he could have done better but it surprised the hell out of him. And i stayed right behind a guy i know with a 6.0 GTO just like mine. He is a former 2v owner and thinks my car may be...

    13.7 in lightly modded 2v

    Trust me, there's a lot of people that think it looks crazy. The only weight I removed was the spare tire and jack. I was also running on 1/8th tank of gas. It did spin pretty bad on that run but i have other slips where i bogged on the launch and still ran 13.8 at 101. I can post them up if...

    13.7 in lightly modded 2v

    By the way this isn't my black 96 gt. That was sold a couple years ago and this is my black 04 gt.

    13.7 in lightly modded 2v

    Well a couple days ago i ran a 13.7 at 101.99. All that is done to this car is a K&N CAI and a Mac O/R H pipe. Has anyone else seen times like this with these mods? A lot of guys at the track thought i had more done. I honestly don't have any gears or a tune. Do you think it's just a strong car...

    H pipe questions

    Over the weekend I'm going to go cheap and buy a summit H pipe. I have heard some people say that 04 Mustangs need O2 extensions. Is this true? What else will i have to buy to make it work? And lastly will the car still run fine without MIL eliminators? I'm not afraid of the check engine light...

    !4.6 vs 2.0 S/C!

    Both cars are about the same stock for stock. I ran a 14.3 completely stock in my old Cobalt. When i put the Injen on i was running consistent 14.1s at 101. Those cars have good top end power but almost nothing below 4k RPMs. It was a sweet car but i had so many problems it made me sick. I do...
