Well, I may not run very well at the track, but on the street its a different story. Tonight on the way home a couple guys in a Camaro pulled up next to me and tried to race me. The had a head start and even launched thier car (Auto I think) but I was able to pull them in first and second. I had to let off after that due to a car in front of me. I was also thinking that the car stopped chirping the tires after I installed the Pro-Chamber, so I guess that could have something to do with it. I did get it to chirp a couple times tonight, but I used to be able to do it at will. Im having the car looked at this Saturday to try and figure out what, if anything, is wrong with the car. As far as whats wrong with the driver, thats sort of a long term project.
When I got the pullies I didnt know that the stock pullies were of a similar ratio. I just learned recently that the stockers are a more aggressive ratio than they had been in previouse years. As far as the ported plenum goes, Ben Alameda was right up the street from where I used to work, so I decided to get it done and see what happened.
Any way, I have to say, the car feels fast, so I think most of the problem is with me. Should know after this Saturday if the car is messed up or not. Hope not, but if it is it gives me a great excuse to get some major upgrades or maybe even a new engine (hope not though) By the way, does anybody know the legality of swapping a 4v into a GT in Arizona. Will they fail me on the visual? Will they be able to hook up to the computer if it has the swap chip that one place is selling?
Thanks

yes, i have seen it. pulleys dont do crap on 4.6s, their stock pulleys do not eat up that much power. everyone made them, and everyone bought them cuz they were a proven mod on the 5.os for 20+ years.
dude, i trap the same(if not higher) than guys with all those extra worthless mods. maf, tb, intake spacer, and pulleys.

heh, don't worry bro. you'll be fine and will be pulling times just like us..
well i'll get a good deal on the headers, and since i'll be going supercharged, they'll help with the flow out of the engine. plus LT's aren't legal here as you know..and as for the shorty x, i might be getting that for a really really good deal and if i put it on i'll get some free dyno pulls out of it. if the magnaflow catted x was legal, i'd get that instead. but as of now it still isn't legal to my knowledge...damn our emissions laws suckKaPPaBaLL said:

the shorty x welds on after the cats and before the mufflers. so that portion of the pipe is still intact and attached to the headers. and the JBA's will bolt on to the stock pipe. i think Dave and Bruce would have let me know if i was in for a big surprise
haha ok ok.. it's just the crossover pipe then.. i gotcha.
Usually people refer a "shorty pipe" to be the whole mid pipe itself that goes with LT's.. hehehe
right now i'm running a MRT o/r H-pipe with my welded 2chambers.. i want louder sound!!
