  1. yes its the one where you cut out the honeycomb stock one. i have no idea what brand it is tho. when i bought the truck i asked them to put one on and the dealership found and installed it. i think i might take it and the bowtie off and get them powdercoated instead of painted. rock chips are a bitch on it already.

    so your sayin that what the truck is doin now is nothing compared to what its gunna do when i get the converter in? what converter should i use i know thats kind of a loaded question but i mean with my mods and nitrous in the future what would yall use?

     

     

    i would look at your graph and see where you start to make a good amount of torque and start there. the idea of the stall is to keep the rpm's higher than normal. if its a big cam then go with at least a 3000 and probably more. the higher you go the less your gonna like it for everday applications. you also have to consider the weight of the vehicle. somewhere between a 3200 - 3400 would probably be good for a high revving engine. you will also want to do heads to get the best air flow possible and efficiency. a big cam will get alot of help with better heads. but what do i know. talk to someone who does this all the time. or wait for the gurus to chime in.

  3. even from a dig i would be very worried. the eclipse/talon/laser ( DSM cars ) were available in a few different levels. the higher up being the gst/gsx or tsi ( for eagle ). the gst was turbo fwd and once you modded it left alot to be desired in the traction department. the gsx and tsi awd were all wheel drive and had the 4g63 iron block in it ( same as all the evos up till now). that engine was bullet proof and could be made very fast for relatively cheap. if its the awd version and took some time to spool up id say he had a aftermarket turbo (16g or bigger) cause the stock turbo had basically zero lag. watch out for these. i used to have one and would surprise f bodies and mustangs all the time.

  4. there was a QC srt10 in sport truck or some other mag a few months ago. silver with black powdercoated stock rims and a paxton 2200 and spray. article said it runs tens with near a 1000 hp. dont know if that was crank or wheels( cant remember) . i think that would have to be the fastest QC around. anywhere.

  5. i shouldnt be to slow off the line with a vig 3000, 0 TM, and 4hi. plus all that good radix torque and being thrown right into it. if anything his turbo has to spool up and i thought a boosted launch would kill him. my main worry is him catching me.

  6. me and a buddy are both going to the track for the first time this spring. hes got a wrx that runs mid 13s. im wondering what i should be running ( approximately ) with my current mods and good launch.

     

    2006 4x4 ecsb

    lq9 radix @ 7.5 psi

    flt fully built trans

    vigillante triple disk 10.5inch 3000 stall

    430hp and 470torque to rear wheels

     

    do you think i have enough to come close with a good 4x4 stalled launch? what do you think ill run? anyone with similar hp numbers please tell what your running and if its 2wd or 4x4/awd. thanks alot. im just deciding if i should put some money on this or if its not worth it.

  7. none of the torque management was removed. i actually just recieved my new servos in the mail and a zippy shift kit is in the mail too. alot of good those do for me now. haha. if you want some billet servos and shift kit i will have them for sale in a little bit here. i knew the tranny would go eventually no matter what i did so why delay the inevitable. i thought i would at least get until spring out of it. oh well.
