  1. is this the best cam for NA, daily driver or is there a better one. What are any issues with driveability? how does this change with a bigger cam? I am going to read some more cam info, but your help is great What cam is the best to beat a TBSS? I know there is a post about cam selection but few had any 'after' reports. and with zippy's latest run I really want to know what I am getting myself into with a new cam...I hope just beating my buddy's TBSS
  2. the tank car is one of my favroite cars, the scale it just BIG and BAD.
  3. I think it will help your top speed not much your acceleration
  4. that sounds real cool and very good way to use stock parts for a different, but very high performance direction.

    SS vs. RX8

    what do you thing these mods will get him in the 1/4? the cam is calling, my buddy keeps talking about his damn tbss it would be awsome to beat his truck and see the look on his face
  6. progressive was awsomely....shitty when I USED to have them.
  7. I have an old turbo I'll check if it is what you want, I think it is from a regal??
  8. Where did you pick it up at...same place? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am guessing having the dual gauge setup instead of just one allows you to see twice as much info? Wasn't one of our vendors selling these at one point and who was it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> whats the deal??
  9. the drain plug in the trans is crappy, you almost have to pound a smaller socket on so you dont strip it too much.
  10. that sounds like my truck b4 I got my TB TC
  11. what about this OBD-2 I just dont think I could invest the time to learn how to tune, so why waste money get something to get as much info as you can I' broke
  12. I have looked but have not found a place that gives a program for my laptop to just log stuff to show a tuner? I know I could spend some buck$$$$ but with this internet thing I was hoping to find a cheaper solution and just get the cable made thanks
  13. it is drop time for that high a$$ truck. How they got so different is puzzling? what happened to some shared design and the avalanch needs a sss bumper cover
  14. 04chase is selling one in the forsale section. His price is right, shipping might be expensive on a heavy ass TC

    PCM Tuning

    that does seem dangerous to swicth PCM's I hope the engines are similar.
  16. and we have every right to post our experences, the more of us that read this might get a memeber in Bryan's shop and say to him "Did you every get that one guy worked out?" BUt if we get the F**K out then either people will keep going to bryan or qiuk is not going to get his problem fixed I hope you figure it out, call someone who might drive down, send it to a different tuner, or get really good at tuning to do it your self...
  17. why is there so much tuner beef right now??? I hope we begin to understand that bashing someone turns them off I hope we could learn more from each other...and not bash the unknown, Even if he sent you a bogus tune you should work it out, maybe he did not get back to you b/c he was tuninjg mario andritti's Z06 If we work together we will all go faster.
  18. lube your old stuff now so it will be easier to get off is/was there a gasket between the cats and the muffler? or is it a no-exhaust donut type application, I did not have one, and need to kno9w if I should??
  19. I used steel, but if I ad to redo it I would have got some aluminum from the depot for the support, and re use the stock one for the bottom. If I am not mistaken the tubing is 3/8, again at depot-get a brass fitting that you need, flare nut style. do you have a flare tool, single or double?? I used a single flare on mine and they have done good thru the winter. Justy remember to put the nut on before your flare, and leave enough room around bends and such to get the tool on. I think I have pics of my install on the site somewhere, and a pic of the fittings I used in my garage. 1/2 NPT X 3/8 Flare
  20. mine was held w/ a spot weld so I ended up grinding off a small circle where the weld was and reued the clamp. Yes I did not turn the rradio on, I was crusing w/the windows down Any Gains from this mod??? The system seems better to me, collecting the exhaust before you muffle it
  21. Do it when it is hot, it helps to pull the cup holders when it is warm.
  22. I asked my brother" was it loud" his reply "Sick loud you'll never sneak up on anybody. I could hear you on the corner noise pollution"
  23. not much HP, but the launch/take off is different.
  24. Hey all, Just wanted to post about my corsa, yes new mod It was a PITA to get the stock ones off, espically when you are trying to get it done in a short time, the stock clamp faces up and it was tight but I ended up using a wrench. I need to go back and tighten stuff again after a few miles. the sound is nice. there is a 'gurgle' that is wired, but I am still getting used to it. I really want to Log some time in my truck, anybody want to copy some logging software for me??? Oh well, I cant wait to get somemore drive time...I'll post some pics when I get home tonight. Thanks Holty-your exhaust found a home
  25. I just wanted to tell everybody that holty is I got my exhaust fast and in better shape than I expected. If he is selling stuff, I would buy from him again. thanks Josh later -joe
