wouldnt a good tune free up about what hes looking for?

MU71L4710N

not even close (if hes wanting 30 rwhp) if his car is nearly stock. i dont even think a good tune would do 30 fwhp on a stock car

ntirous or full exhaust but u do have to do the work yourself. i dont get why ppl dont like or against nitours its tha same catagory as turbo or supercharger its a type of force induction but i think i just started a war ppl alway shave this fight sorry

Nitrous or a set of cams if you install yourself.[sm=nxsmile.gif]

gonna be tough to make good numbers on cams without the boltons to support it.

can anyone tell me more about this mod? mine is an 00GT..not sure what I have or what I would change to. These are the gears in the rear differential, right? what are the pros and cons of swapping?

well I found some info on gears, sounds like a very appealing mod to look into. seems that people like to bitch about gears too. 4.10 gears.....only con I saw on the board was someone saying it will wear your engine down faster? Is this claim just based on the fact that compared to the stock gears at any given speed you will be spinning the motor at a higher rpm? Surely it can't be that higher of an rpm. or is the wear on the motor claim based on something else?

The biggest power i got was the lt headers and the mid pipe.I wouldnt worry about a catback right now.The catback wont really gain u any horsepower just sound.LT headers, mid pipe and a set of gears wiil be your best bang for the buck and that will keep u close to a $1000 if u and some freinds can do the headers yourself.With those 3 mods your carwill be a diff. animal

ok there is SOME truth to the gears wearing your engine. the "pros and cons" whatever u want to call it are your car redlines alot faster. your wheels turn more times per turn of te axle. you losesome top end speed and while on the highway you will be at higher RPM than stock gears so you waste a little more gas.

now cruising at slightly higher RPM you can already tell where that thing about the engine wear comes at. its not as big of a deal as some people make it out to be though its not going to kill your motor a month after the gears.

and yeah people like to bitch about gears. some people arent satisfied with gears unless they as steep as they can go. im getting 390's put in mine actually (im ordering the bearings and gears this weekend and i got a guy here to install em for 250). the best for a moreconservative gearing is 373's for a stick, 410's with an auto. you can go higher if you want but its all up to you and what your car has to do (is it your DD and you put alot of miles on it per day, if so you may not want to go any taller than above but i definately wouldnt go below otherwise its a waste of money)

i wouldnt put nitrous in the same category as a blower/turbo at all. they areall power adders yes, but they are completely different animals. ive never seen a supercharger puddle in the intake and blow the intake manifold off the car. im not trying to "start a war" either,but nitrous seems to be a little more risky thantrue FI
