Do you have an auto or manual?

Next purchase after gauges will be sticky tires.
Having had the V3 for some time, I am looking forward to all that nice low end torque and instant power

I have a strong feeling that I will really like the TVS A LOT and wonder why I didn't go with it the first time!

I bet with a high stall torque converter and driveshaft, along with my 4.10s and lower control arms.. the GT is really gonna be a different animal altogether

Interesting side point, PCM states that on some of the 197. if you add LCA you can get whine from the gears. Never heard that one before. I bought LCA, J&M to also. I will still install in the future.

Have you heard that?

What gears are you running?

Not worried about the 20hp difference, when a blower it's as easy as a pulley swap and re-tune.. maybe even a gear swap

Haven't heard of that theory, but I did happen get some whine from the rear after the install.. I really haven't thought about it to get a reason why?

3.31?!!?!?!?

I have 4.10s and it's a handful.. I have read about 427R/auto owners switching to 4.10s and their M90's with excellent results.

I bet with the 4.10s and other drivetrain mods, the TVS will REALLY wake up the ride.

I would drop back down to 3.73's though for sanity purposes lol

Unless you REALLY like to get on the gas

Maybe when this is not a daily driver I will go to 3.73....but until then.
I like to cruise and hit the petal to the proverbial metal.

lol I don't blame you.

4.10s are a very aggressive gearing. I might drop down to 3.73s or even the dog 3.31 gears

With the power I'll be making with the TVS, the 3.31s sound the most sane of them all rofl

What's up with the vids dude?
