Default Info on these things:

I just bought an SCT tuner, Steeda Rear Upper and Lower Control Arms, and Full Length Subframe Connectors online. I have a few questions:
1. How much would u guess installation will cost for welding on the subframes and putting in the rear control arms?
2. Let's say my 1/4 mile time now is 15.05 secs now, what will it be after these mods(tuner I will do a 93octane tunewith shifts firmed up)?
3. Will the rear control arms and subframes be the only drag suspension mods I will ever need to fix wheel hop?

Thanx for all the help!

1. I have no idea about the install of the LCA's UCA and welding. Most labore is between $40 and $90 per hour.
2. with the tuner alone you should be really close to the upper 14's. Now with that guess have you run it or is it just a guess? Most run around 15.3 with out a tune.
3. the LCA's will help with wheel hop but not totally. I have never seen subframe connectors put on these cars. If someone has them they never list them. The UCA will help also.
I am an auto so I get minimal wheel hop most of the time, its weird when it happens to me.

All in all your times should be a solid upper 14's, get the rear end set up for posi and gears and you'll see much more improvement.
I hope this helps.

Default RE: Info on these things:

Thanx, # 1 I was only welding in the subframes, not the control arms.
Couple more ?'s:
4. How much HP should the 93 octane tune give me?
5.What do u know about subframe connectors and rear control arms, will they stop my tire screeching when taking sharp turns at 25mph?
6. I hear subframe connectors are the best mod for weight transfer besides front sway bar removal, anybody hear of this or seen/had experience of this?
7.My FlyWheelHP is now 235 most people tell me, How much do u think would be safe running on our injectors and fuel pumps?

Thanx again
