    Hot Rod /Motor Trend Threads In here

    unfortunately i dont think they had much of an option here...gas tank in front of rear axle=no room for mufflers other than behind axle. safety stuff, people made a big deal bout it

    Here It Is: Uncamouflaged!

    Like boomer said this wont have any affect on the sound...I believe the reason for the mufflers being there is that the gas tank is now in front of the rear axle because of safety issues.

    probably 245s in the front, 275s or 285s in the back...know of some people running 315 drag radials on 9 inch wide, but thats a little much in my opinion

    Traction Control off

    Yeah i thought bout buying that from ponyexpressperformance.com, only 50 bucks i think there. I've read in the past that at speeds below 35mph or somewhere around there the brakes can be applied by the system was well as fuel and spark reduction. Above 35, no brakes are applied.

    just thinking

    i'll answer a couple i have a C&L 85mm mass air...happy with it but a gear would give more bang for the buck. whatever size maf c&l gives u with the kit would be fine, i dont know what year u have so that makes a difference. getting bigger wheels wont fill up the wheel well since the diameter...

    C&L MAF, Inlet tube, Intake Plenum, and BBK t/b

    99+ comes with 19lb injectors stock. If you are planning on doing a shift kit maybe look into Jerry's mod first. Costs almost nothing. I think thats the way i would go if i had an auto. Also, may want to think about a gear. 4.10 would probably give you better results than dropping all the...
