want to make the car "feel" different
 
car: 01 auto gt vert.
im looking for the mods that you can really "feel" when driving the car likes gears etc.
the car is good but i know with some things it will just feel that much better to drive and be much more enjoyable. i already have exhaust and tuner and dont feel like spending 200+ for tb/plenum for a minimul gain that i wont even feel.

i just bought
4.10 frpp gears
transgo shift kit

looking at
QA1 tubular k-member
3000 stall converter
steeda lca's
fox 4cyl front springs
new full lenght sfc's

i figure this will give a nice boost in acceleration a nice feel for shifts a nice base for my suspension and will have the foundation for further mods like a 100 shot
sound like a start? if there are any recomendations lemme know i just want the car to feel more aggresive and really feel it putting the power down.

This is easy you will feel the most from Gears, Nitrous, and Full exhaust which means longtubes also!

rman101 05-02-2009 08:40 PM

eh really not looking to do the headers. just isnt something i wanna do lol

the gears are a definate thought nos or power adder will be in the future. not point in making power if i cant put it down

Well since no headers or nitrous right now the only thing your gonna feel from your list is gears. You have suspension mods listed, but do you want suspension for the drag strip or auto x? What do you plan on using your car for?

jrherald420 05-02-2009 09:01 PM

sub frame connectors, upper AND lower control arms, gears

mainly daily driver i like having the suspension mods for the added daily driving factor just to help it feel a little more solid around curves but not going to be auto xing so its mostly for drag. i hear the sfc from everyone and the ones on the vert are useless. the control arms i hear help alot with putting the power down the k member takes alot of weight off the front for added weight transfer which is why i was going with those springs as well
i just wasnt sure how much i would feel those mods while driving. and by feel i dont just mean feel going faster just feel better overall.

perhaps recomend some things i could do while i get the other things installed like torque converter and shift kit and trans cooler at same time. k member and while im at it change out front springs things that i mine as well do while something else is out?

I just did a lot of suspension to my car: H&R Sport Springs, MM CC Plates, MM strut tower brace & MM full length sub frames. I can tell a difference in how my car rides. It is very stiff now and has no body roll or flex. If you want suspension I would say you will feel a difference if you do Sub frames and a strut tower brace. I recommend Maximum Motorsport (MM). The fitment and quality was great. I bought all my stuff from lethalperformance.com

I would hold off on the K-member until you do headers. If you decided to do long-tubes you want to do them the same time you do the K-Member, it will go a lot easier.

Springs and some poly urethane motor mounts sounds like what you're looking for. Some SFCs would probabably helkoo too. Damn. alkcoholm ./..

i think your list is pretty good, those will certainly wake the car up especially a higher stall converter, though i would go at least 3200 or higher.

RiCe_KiLlEr 05-03-2009 07:04 AM

your mods sound pretty good. id look into longtube headers, they will help out alot when you get all your mods done and also will help with nitrous also. gears are going to be your biggest difference that you will notice, you will love the 4.10s.
