Whats next for your car?

[MrDavid]

Since we all end up yapping about what we plan to do with our cars in various threads that were intended for something else, I figured I would devote one just for "plans for your car."

With that being said, post up whatever your next plans for your ride are. Cosmetics? Power Adder? Solid Bottom End? Whatever you have in mind.

Me personally, I am changing the exhaust this week hopefully and then i'll be saving for some forged pistons and rods hopefully in late Fall or possibly Winter.

[Eds98WS6]

A whole New car!!!(something with an ls1 under the hood)

[cdavis01]

im putting 3.73 in my car, maybe that will wake it some more

[The EnforceR]

-drilled/slotted rotors
-sunoco cowl hood
-Ls6 intake

in that order (i think)

[quickstang_1994]

pulley, bypass valve and a new tune.

[comptaclone]

new transmission....that works lol
long tubes...... just waiting for the car to install
full catback..... also just waiting on the car to be back
and a tune as soon as i sell my old shorties...
hopefully within a month all of this will be done

[01BlackBird]

sell the ss
next car (possibly second gen camaro)
fully forged 383 stroker (crank, pistons, rods)
aluminum heads (fully worked)
barry grant carb
NITROUS (fogger setup)
th 350 trans (manual valve body)
373 rear gears
4 inch cowl hood

[The EnforceR]

jay you gettin an early second gen or late second gen? please say itl be an early 70s and not the later 70s that look like mullet machines.

[89RABIDFOX]

Well I Have A Lot Of Different Plans.

Up The Jets!
Change suspension set-up!
Run 7.0 Flat Or Better!
Park Car And Don't Drive It Anymore! Lol!

[michaelxx16]

full bolt-ons
!EGR
!AIR
new clutch
good tune

and change the oil :secret:

[MrDavid]

Thomas, I think you just need to dump the next chunk of money into full suspension. That, plus a little more nitrous should net you a 7.0 with a good 60' and hitting every shift on point.

[89RABIDFOX]

Well I Think With A Little More Nitrous Will Get Me A 7.0 Or 7.1 At Least. I Do Need A Little Suspension Help Though For Sure. If I Was To Change Some Suspension Stuff And Get A Good 60 Foot I Think Id See A 6 Something. I Know It Has It In It I Just Got To Get It Out Of It First.

[RamAirGod]

My next mod is a c5 zo6 body kit, ls6 and t56 swap. lol

[burlap1980]

10.5:1 diamond pistons
ferrea valves
meth kit
solid motor mounts

[01BlackBird]

yea kyle I want a 70-72 but if I cant find one ima get an 81 z28 thats the car my dad (he bought one new) had when he was my age an they can look awsome if done right

[MrDavid]

My next mod is a c5 zo6 body kit, ls6 and t56 swap. lol

looks like your mods are gonna cost a little more than everybody's.

[89RABIDFOX]

That Is Right. He Sounds Like He Has Big Spending Plans For Hiself. But I Think I Will Finish Buying Some Things To Complete The Kit I Have Started And Then Ill Go To The Suspension.

[TurboLSX]

10.5:1 diamond pistons
ferrea valves
meth kit
solid motor mounts


meth? u running a power adder?

[MrDavid]

meth? u running a power adder?

he has one of the cobalt SS cars. supercharged.

[TurboLSX]

he has one of the cobalt SS cars. supercharged.

ooh i see, h
ey dave this guy just made a ton of hp with a 377 twin 60mm set up



http://www.atlpf.com/videos.html

[MrDavid]

holy crap! That is a lot of power! And its a lot of pipe under the hood!

[01BlackBird]

that car was at g11 this year. you cant even hear his turbos and that dyno is dynolab in atlanta the same one all of us dyno on. the dyno runs I saw out of him down there at G11 were in mid to high 500's. either that run was messed up bad or he had boost way down when he dynoed at g11

[The EnforceR]

yea ive seen the car in person, its very nice and the craftsmanship thats gone into it is very nice. the guy is kinda a doushe, but hes got a bad ride. he dynoed on like 8 lbs at G11, he can turn it up to 14 lbs ive heard.

[01BlackBird]

yea hes a big fag but the car had to be on 8 at g11 cause it was quik but not that fast (lol me and kent raced him in kents car he won but it wasnt a walk like it shouldve been)

[89RABIDFOX]

What Type Of Car Are You Talking About A Cobalt Ss Or What? Im Kind Of Confused.

[98chevyman]

i plan on for now finding my problem with my car depending on whats wrong ima work off of that so im not sure of the plan i may follow ssman and get rid of mine but not for anything older.

[MrDavid]

What Type Of Car Are You Talking About A Cobalt Ss Or What? Im Kind Of Confused.

you're always confused. Burlap posted above what he plans to do with his car. Chris wanted to know what kind of car he has. I told Chris he has a Cobalt SS. Chris said "oh, cool" then he posted a link of a twin turbo CAMARO SS and told me to check it out. That is the car that Kyle and Jay are posting about above. U straight now?

[89RABIDFOX]

Yea Thanks Smart Ass! Im Trying To Work And Read All This At The Same Time. I Was All Screwed Up.

[WhiteIrocZ]

Burlap drives a Saturn Ion Redline, not a Cobalt SS.

Chris, what are your plans for suspension/rear end mods to put all that power to the ground???

[MrDavid]

Burlap drives a Saturn Ion Redline, not a Cobalt SS.


ehhh, exact same engine, different clothing.

[89RABIDFOX]

Ha You Aint As Smart As You Thought You Was Are You? Lol.

[MrDavid]

Ha You Aint As Smart As You Thought You Was Are You? Lol.

:stupid: it has nothing to do with being smart. But since you brought that up, I just made the Dean's List at Greenville Tech. Not as dumb as you might think.

[89RABIDFOX]

Dean Dont Mean Shit. You Still Just As Dumb To Us No Matter What.

[The EnforceR]

im deans list at upstate....what biatch.

[98chevyman]

well i dont know who the hell dean is but i aint on his list and dont wana be hes problably a queer. lol

[TurboLSX]

Burlap drives a Saturn Ion Redline, not a Cobalt SS.

Chris, what are your plans for suspension/rear end mods to put all that power to the ground???

narrowed 9 inch, stock rims or zr1s cut to 13 inches wide. then some 325 drag radials for the street. i have et street slicks right now that i will still use at the track

[The EnforceR]

325s ahhhh thatshitisSIICCCCCKKKK. you minitubbin it?

[01BlackBird]

he will have to 325 want fit under an fbody without modification 315 is the max

[burlap1980]

Burlap drives a Saturn Ion Redline, not a Cobalt SS.

thank you that is correct its a redline not a slobalt

ehhh, exact same engine, different clothing.

never really thought of it that way but thats true also

meth? u running a power adder?
yeah like above its supercharged
Do you know alot about meth or not? i have heard yeh and nah about using it whats you opinion? have you ever tuned fro meth? I have hptuners just have never tuned for meth before. thanks

[MrDavid]

Dean Dont Mean Shit. You Still Just As Dumb To Us No Matter What.

I might be dumb, but you ugly. I can study to fix dumb, what can you do?

[01BlackBird]

plastic surgery!! DUH!!!!!! dumbass

[MrDavid]

u going with him? You should. hehe

[89RABIDFOX]

Im Not Gonna Do Anything About It. Maybe If I Stay Ugly Then I Wont Have To Tworry About Another Lady. Lol.

[63 Galaxie Money Pit]

crankin the galaxie for the first time.

[MrDavid]

Im Not Gonna Do Anything About It. Maybe If I Stay Ugly Then I Wont Have To Tworry About Another Lady. Lol.

HAHAHA. Touche Thomas....Touche

[89RABIDFOX]

I Know This Is So Retarted. But Who Cares. Life Goes On. I Dont Need Another Woman In My Life. Lol.

[The EnforceR]

crankin the galaxie for the first time.

and the most random post of the year award goes to.......

[MrDavid]

lol at Kyle.

Well, the true duals are fabbed up and in place. The car sounds similar to Jays now but louder with a little lope to it. Its quite a bit deeper than the SLP but I like it a lot better. I'm probably going to have to wrap the fuel lines and the nitrous line in some heat resistant material due to the mufflers running pretty close. Also going to have to put the stock springs back on or either put spacers in the current ones.

[The EnforceR]

i can second all he just said...it sounds real good. kinda like jays, but his DADDY hahaha.

[89RABIDFOX]

Well Damn If New Exhaust Makes You Peoples Daddy I Need Some. Lol.

[01BlackBird]

hes not my daddy im the one and only ORIGINAL and i got the real deal FLOWMASTERS baby

[RamAirGod]

yea hes a big fag but the car had to be on 8 at g11 cause it was quik but not that fast (lol me and kent raced him in kents car he won but it wasnt a walk like it shouldve been)

i call bullshit on that son. Bj, Will and myself was down there and never heard of that race. Everywhere kents car went, we went. And by the way, he dynoed mid 9's at vengance...hate to call ya out on that but shit happens..

[01BlackBird]

ask kent dumbass it was on the varsity cruise and yall were WAY ahead of us we just did a few short runs with him messin around ask kent if you dont believe me

[MrDavid]

hes not my daddy im the one and only ORIGINAL and i got the real deal FLOWMASTERS baby

haha, whatever lego-boy. You paid more for something that doesn't flow as well as what I bought. You had the original "design" first, but thats all.

Anyways, the duals are screwing with my tune. I am taking it to Mike on Saturday or Sunday because it wants to drop RPM's when I press in the clutch to gear down.

[The EnforceR]

girls lets be nice. dave, you scraped anything yet?

[01BlackBird]

actually i didnt pay more cuz i got mine with the car and if mine were single chambers they would flow the same, but i dont know if i would want any louder

[cdavis01]

what kind of gears do i need to get like motive or richmond and does it need to be 2 series or what

[MrDavid]

actually i didnt pay more cuz i got mine with the car and if mine were single chambers they would flow the same, but i dont know if i would want any louder

the cam is probably the only thing making it louder. If me and you swapped mufflers then mine would still probably be louder just for the fact of the cam. Mine sounds almost exactly like yours until I drop the hammer, then it gets super loud, but still a deep tone, unlike the SLP which was raspy as heck.

[MrDavid]

what kind of gears do i need to get like motive or richmond and does it need to be 2 series or what

I would go with factory GM gears which you can also pick up from the website I told you about earlier. www.neweraperformanceparts.com

Jay can attest that Richmond gears are less than steller.

[01BlackBird]

order them from randys ring and pinion me and bj will attest to them being good

[MadMike 97 Z28]

haha you guys crack me up. as for my next mods

-new wheels maybe some staggered ZR1's or TT2's
-LT's
-ORY and Catback or custom true duals dumped before the axle
-LE2 Heads and Cam
-Good Dyno Tune

[01BlackBird]

true duals sound awsome, kale my chime in here he has them on his lt1z oh and staggered zr1's ftw

[MadMike 97 Z28]

yep i love true duals just gotta find a good shop that i trust i had some work done at steves muffler on my Mountaineer when i had them custom make some true dual side exit Lightning style exhaust. pretty good work.

the 97 Mountaineer was my first car and it is now my little bro's who is still in Greenville some of you may see it around town still its kinda hard to miss a big blue mountaineer with 4 kcs on top and a side exit exhaust. im sure im the only one crazy enough to turn a mountaineer into what looks like a giant "rollerskate"

[MrDavid]

I just had true duals put on yesterday and I am already in love with the deep sound. There is a couple of shops around here where you can have them fabbed up. The guy that tuned my car said he can also make them at the place where he works. He said he can do it fairly cheap too.

[89RABIDFOX]

Yea I Have Always Been A Fan Of The True Dual Setup. I Havent Really Ever Liked The Way X Or H Pipes Sounded. I Mean They All Sound Pretty Good Just Not As Good.

[MadMike 97 Z28]

what are some good shops to get some exhaust work done at in the Greenville area? how much you think it would run me if i had a shop do custom exhaust from LT's back with x pipe dumped before axle? what kind of mufflers should i go with and should i go with 2-3" pipes or 2-2.5" pipes? mrdavid how is yours set up?

[MrDavid]

Mine is Cherry Bomb single chambers, 3", dumped before the axle. It sounds pretty good, to me anyway. I'll get a sound clip up on here tomorrow probably. I'm not too familiar with the Greenville area on muffler shops but, in Spartanburg, Express Lube and Muffler can fab you up some for around $250.

[MadMike 97 Z28]

ya get some sound clips up i wanna hear this beast

[Eds98WS6]

Hey a new addition to the slow lt1 club...lol wats up Mike

[MadMike 97 Z28]

haha ya man we're like the annoying little brother that wants to tag along with the LS1's o well maybe ill be able to hang with the big boys when i start doing some serious mods.

[MrDavid]

LOL, yea, you guys are gonna have to do a little more than bolt'ons to hang with some of the cammed LS1's in this little group.

[MadMike 97 Z28]

i seen some pretty nasty heads and cam LT1's le2 kits are nasty.

[MrDavid]

yea, it doesn't take much for you guys to run with us.

[MadMike 97 Z28]

yep im happy with my 97 LT1 6-speed although i almost ended up with a 98 LS1 6-speed but it was sold an hour before we got there.

[Eds98WS6]

well im sorta happy with mine, soon to have Jet Hot Lt's and custom y and probably a magnaflow catback, with Gm847 cam...30lb injectors and 100 shot, then sold in february and getting either a base c5 or c5z whichever i can afford

[89RABIDFOX]

Well I Am Happy With My 95 Mustang Gts With A 140 Shot That Only Makes 465 Hp To The Wheels. That Is Amazing Aint It. Lol. You Guys Crack Me Up Bitching About I Need Ls1, I Need C5, Whatever Just Do What You Want To Do Not What Everyone Else Says You Should Do. Lol.

[MrDavid]

That Only Makes 465 Hp To The Wheels.

yea, maybe on the Sunliner Dyno. LOL! The place where my car makes 350hp.

[The EnforceR]

polished 2.6 kenne bell,kenne bell intake, boost a pump,60 lb injectors, boost a spark, throttle body, bbk long tube headers, bbk x pipe, eibach drag launch springs spec stage 3 clutch, 24 lb pullie, trick flow heads, crower stage 2 cams, heat exchanger, 50 shot, pro 5.0 shifter

ok? thats one of the most random posts ive ever read. youre first post is your mod list, w/o tellin us who you are, where youre from, your name, car....nothing. kinda toolbagish to me. but sounds like a very fast car if you aint lying.

[99CobraVert04]

sounds more like a christmas list of what's next for his car :D

[98chevyman]

anybody want a 98 ss red 6s peed with borla exhaust 3inch cut outs 600 lift cam headers pulleys and a slight knock 11000 bo or 13500 when it gets fixed

[Eds98WS6]

is it butch?

[MrDavid]

just pop in the very first forum listed on the board "INTRODUCTIONS" and say hey, introduce yourself, your car and where you are from. Most of which, we all know, but there is some people on here that don't know you.

[Eppsstang-GT]

a new car. i think i have a warped head now. time for a change

[The EnforceR]

yea this is butch. but it aint no christmas list i have already have all the stuff in my extra bedroom waiting to get it put on. thomas told me about this web site. i havent figured out how to use it yet.

how the heck can you afford to get all that stuff for your car?

[MrDavid]

a new car. i think i have a warped head now. time for a change

aww man, are you serious dude? That sucks. I'm sorry to hear that.

[The EnforceR]

lol dang must be nice....sounds like a recipe for 700+ at the wheels. justin and BJ said you wanted to run today.....i aint real big on racing in daylight but i understand ya want a before and after race with someone to compare how much ya pick up with your new parts. maybe sometime at night....i havent even raced anyone with the new gear yet so idk how well ill do. car was lookin good today tho.

[The EnforceR]

yea it aint my daily driver....just on the weekends and never in the rain unless i get caught in it. i always keep a fresh coat of wax on it so its easy to dust off and whipe down. the only thing i really gotta wash and put water on are the wheels/tires. when i dont drive it, its garaged under a car cover so the only dust it sees if from me driving it......and from when i go to car shows where they make you park in the dirt/grassgrass??? all these guys pick with me on how OCD i am about it, but i just like takin care of it i guess.

yours is always clean as hel to tho. with that rare mystic color option i wouldnt expct any less tho...

[63 Galaxie Money Pit]

and the most random post of the year award goes to....... it asked what was next? i answered the question. i dont take the time to read four or five other pages of stuff because im a slacker.

[The EnforceR]

haha yea these threads get off topic REAL easy.

[The EnforceR]

yea......if i were you, i'd get some of the clear bra stuff that 3M makes that is used to put on front ends to kep nicks and chips out form behind the rear tires. see if theyve got a roll of it you could buy......slap some on there for when youre driving it around, and easily pull it off whenever youre at a show. that was the rubber/tire shine and wahtever else that gets caked up on there wil pull right off with the tape.

[The EnforceR]

http://www.automotivearticles.com/Clear_Bra_3M.shtml

idk where you can get it but theres a little info on it. evidentally it can protect paint from the damage of a pellet gun lol.

[The EnforceR]

yea but if it can take that, itll withstand rock chips and shit.

[WhiteIrocZ]

That stuff is not easy to apply. I know a guy that does that type of work if you want it done. They did a blue Acura NSX the other day and it had paint almost like the mystic color except more blue and it changed the properties of he paint bigtime. Where the shield was it didnt match the rest of the car. Its not something you can just take off easy either. It takes a lot of heat and steady pulling to get it off and it cannot be reapplied after removal. Just some things to think about before spending 500 dollars to get it done and you not like it.

[MrDavid]

hey steve, when can I get the stripes on the top re-done?

[The EnforceR]

well i dont think he was wanting the whole car done....just the part behind the rear tires where rubber and grime gets stuck real easy.

[WhiteIrocZ]

They dont do the whole car just the front bumper and the fenders and hood. The quarters behind the rear tires is a good idea for rocks and rubber.

[01BlackBird]

when you gonna redo my passenger window tint that is messin up? thats a free acid rain removal right there buuuuuuddddddyyyyyy

[WhiteIrocZ]

What in the world is going on with everybody's stuff going bad....but don't worry I'll still stand behind it. Just let me know when you want to drop it by Jay and I'll do something about it. David, you do the same, just let me know and I'll see what I can do. There really isn't a warranty on the vinyl, but the most you'll have to pay for is the vinyl itself if you have to pay anything at all, and its definitely not expensive. Lets just hope that the hood doesn't start going bad because that thing was not easy to do. Is John's going bad too???

[MrDavid]

Not that I know of. My car is a little older than his and I think it is due to the glue and not just the Vinyl. Its ok if I have to pay a little, I don't mind. I just want it fixed.

[The EnforceR]

dave i promise you its the glue underneath, theres spots on the rest of the panel too, and the bubbles are right in line where they apply the glue from the factory. if he fixes it, its only gonna be good for a few months bc that glues gonna keep commin up.

[WhiteIrocZ]

Yeah, the small bubbles in it are the glue messing up, or whatever causes that on 4th gen cars, but there is a small swirly looking spot on them that is just the vinyl doing funny stuff. It will definitely look better to replace those 2 pieces on the roof, but it still won't be flawless.

[MrDavid]

I can see the glue spots in the glare of sunlight, but on top of the vinyl they have already broken through and look like some little popped bubbles. I have to get that replaced because it looks awful.

[89RABIDFOX]

Well The Glue On My Roof Is Messin Up Also. Can Someone Fix It? Im Just Messin. I Am Gonna Have To Buy Me A New Hood And Have It Re-painted.

[MrDavid]

Steve-O, it looks like I'll be bringing it by on Wednesday in the AM sometime. Do yall have the vinyl stripes in house or are they going to have to be ordered?

[WhiteIrocZ]

In house man....a vinyl shop just opened up next door, and they are guys that done work for us and we have known for years. If you could give me an exact measurement of how wide those stripes are it would help me out. Give me an approximate measurement of how long they are too if you could.

[justins99ss]

i think the next thing on my list is a ls6 intake when i get the money from the cat back then mayb headers but i kinda dont wanna get rid of cats because of the raspy sound of the ls1 wit no cat i heard u could put a cat in the I pipe but i dont know yet i think the pops has kinda give up on the whole not lettin me do nething to it but im not goin all out wit a cam and heads or nothin just bolt ons for now

[The EnforceR]

hahah for NOW you say. dude i was in your boat all the way until last christmas when i got headers. he'll give in, he's a gearhead just like all our dads, id say hes probably more of a gearhead than all our dads too.

i thought i was only gonna have bolt-ons too

nitrous "bolts" right on :rockon:

[justins99ss]

yea he talked to ben christopher about cams and stuff for our cars and ben told him man just put a 100 shot on it itll be fine lol

[justins99ss]

but i dont think i want to do the cams and heads or power adder until somethin happens wit the motor or i hit the lottery lol if i do nething im deffinetly goin to forge everything and turbo it but there aint no since in doin that to a perfectly good motor

[MrDavid]

nitrous "bolts" right on :rockon:

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j129/mrdavid777/icon_nxsmile.jpg

Will do as soon as I get the car back. Hopefully tomorrow but it looks like I won't be doing any racing for at least a week. Back to the exhaust shop.

[comptaclone]

what do you have to break exhaust in now days or something

[MrDavid]

It has a massive exhaust leak where the collector runs into the mid pipe. Kyle's dad is going to have to do some repair work. It is letting fresh air in and when it hits the 02 sensors it thinks the engine is running rich so it removes fuel and thus, it is running extremely lean now.

[89RABIDFOX]

How Many More Exscuses Are You Gonna Come Up With So You Dont Do Any Racing? Lol. What Is Next. My Lugnuts Feel Like They Get Loose From Time To Time So I Dont Want To Race Just To Make Sure They Are Ok. Lol.

[MrDavid]

excuses? You are the one with a broke ass car every weekend. Its spuddering... that seems to be your latest one.

[01BlackBird]

Broke Or Not He Will Still Run His Though All U Gotta Do Is Say The Word

[MrDavid]

thats the difference between me and him then. I am not going to race mine if it isn't running right. I have a little too much invested in it to do something stupid like racing when it might give out due to not enough fuel.

[cdavis01]

what gears exactly do i need for my 00 t/a with a4, i want 373 but idk if i should get gm or aftermarket and do i need a 3 series carrier

[RamAirGod]

in my camaro i had to change carriers since they were 273's also. not sure if they make them the same for 2000 cars. i'd call hawks and just ask.

[The EnforceR]

3.73 is the gear ya want but idk about al the other stuff, never ran into it.

[01BlackBird]

if your car has a 2.73 gear from the factory you have a two series carrier if it has 3.23 you have a 3 series carrier. they make special gears to work for a 2 series carrier so you dont have to change it but the 3 series seems to be a little stronger and hold up a little better. hope this helps

[MrDavid]

yep, 3.73 is all you. If you have a 2.73 rear now, you should see a huge difference. I can't honestly tell you which carrier you will need either. Calling hawks to ask is probably your best bet. I would definantly go with GM if I were you but a couple of guys are running different aftermarket setups that seem to work fine for them. Mine do not make any noise though, just FYI.

[The EnforceR]

mine make ZERO noise and to the best of my knowledge they are GM

[01BlackBird]

if you have a 2 series carrier and want 3.73 gears without changin the carrier you will have to go with a brand other than gm maybe try randys ring and pinion

[89RABIDFOX]

Well I Dont Know If Mine Makes Any Noise Or Not. My Car Is Too Damn Loud. Lol.

[MadMike 97 Z28]

Well I Dont Know If Mine Makes Any Noise Or Not. My Car Is Too Damn Loud. Lol.

too loud?:iggy: no such thing. lol

[cdavis01]

so my car has a 2 series carrier

[RamAirGod]

just call hawks, tell em what you have and tell em what you wanna do. they'll take care of you.

[WhiteIrocZ]

I have heard that the 2 series carrier is weaker, but I have also heard that is BS. Jeg's and Summit have 3.73's for a 7.5" 10 bolt in both a 2 and 3 series carrier setup, so their is no need to change carriers unless one is stronger than the other. The only way to find out is to run the codes on the car to see what it was equipped with. I have a Camaro white book, but it only goes to 97 and I dunno if it works for T/A's also. If the factory tag is still on the rearend, run the numbers on it and see. I did the same thing, and mine turned out to be a 2.73 which is a 2 series carrier.

[The EnforceR]

well stephen arent you just a little walkin car encyclopedia

[01BlackBird]

3.08 and lower (actually a higher gear) are 2 series carrier. 3.23 and up are 3 series carrier the difference in the gear is the 3.73 for a 2 series carrier have to be special made and they are actually thicker (some say they are stronger but not enough to change over) to make them work with a 2 series carrier. the 3 series is supposed to be a little stronger but its not enough to ever help you or waste your money on changin (unless you just want to make the whole rear new) so for the sake of savin money and gettin the same results get 2 series 3.73 gears. oh and make sure you order them for the right year models the rear isnt a 7.5 its actually a 7.625 and thats what the gears are for (just to save you the trouble of returning them)

[89RABIDFOX]

Yea What Jay Said!!! Lol

[MrDavid]

Yea What Jay Said!!! Lol

POST WHORE!!! :twak: :beating: :nutkick: :ko:

[89RABIDFOX]

Dont Be Jealous. I Just Figured Id Put My Little Say So In It.

[WhiteIrocZ]

Summit has what you need...they may not be the cheapest but here it is. Richmond ring and pinion set Gm 10-Bolt 7.5/7.625 1.438" diameter, 27 spline pinion.
2 series carrier is pn: RMG-4900071 and its $199.88.
3 series carrier is pn: RMG-4900461 and its $195.95.

I would also recommend an installation kit complete with bearings and also synthetic gear lube. Richmond recommends pn: RMG-8310441 for the installation kit. It is $99.95 and you'll also need gear lube, its not included with that particular kit.

Also, Orielly's sells installation kits a little more reasonable than Summit, you might want to check them out on the install kit.

[cdavis01]

thanks man ill check into that

[RamAirGod]

kudo's for stevo on that one!

[MrDavid]

Also, Orielly's sells installation kits a little more reasonable than Summit, you might want to check them out on the install kit.

$78. I have bought two of them in the past year. 2 gear swaps, not because something was wrong with them.

Gm Product. That Is Why You Bought Two Sets Of Them

nice try. 3.73's were only $90 and I sold them to Chris for the same price so I could upgrade to 4.10's. And I was saying I have bought two installation kits, which aren't made by GM.....Duh!

[89RABIDFOX]

For A Gm. It Is The Same Thing! Lol

[MrDavid]

Yea, I hear ya, "Fix Or Repair Daily"

course, I can't really say much now, beause mine isn't running worth a flip now.

[89RABIDFOX]

Exactly

[MrDavid]

it will be soon, just hold your breath.

[89RABIDFOX]

If I Hold My Breath That Long I Will Be Dead.

[MrDavid]

then hold ur..........horses. All 550 of them.

[89RABIDFOX]

Damn Im Glad Someone Knows How Much Power My Car Has. Thanks For The Info. Lol. I Will Hold Them Just Like I Always Do. Ill Hold Them Whereever They Go.

[MrDavid]

I think that is a good ballpark estimate anyway. Maybe i'm off, wouldn't be the first time. Hell, I would have never guessed Kyle's car would have made over 400 but I was wrong about that one.

[89RABIDFOX]

The Damn Thing Better Have 500 Or Better. If I Ever Put It On A Dyno And It Dont Make 500 Or Better It Is Getting Tore Apart And Big Blocked All The Hell.

[MrDavid]

I think you can rest assure that it is cranking out at least 500 on the sauce. I really wouldn't be surprised if you are a little over 400 on motor alone. You need to find out what the exact curb weight of your car is.

[quickstang_1994]

I weigh mine at the truck stop off of 85, on highway 290 (its got a wendys on it)

[MrDavid]

did they charge you anything?

[Eds98WS6]

Theres a place right in between ashville hwy and number 9 its on california avvenue if u guys know where its att its free just go when there closed, we should all go when i get my car back ill show yall where it is, even though i know how much mine ways

[quickstang_1994]

That would be nice because the place I go cost $9. Free is always better.

[89RABIDFOX]

I Want To Weigh It But I Have Never Known Anywhere To Go To Do That. Maybe One Day We Can All Get Together And Go Weigh The Cars.

[MrDavid]

Free.99 is my favorite price too. I'll look into this and possibly sometime soon we can just roll up there on the scales right quick and weigh em in.

[The EnforceR]

i could careless what mine weighs. its stock weight and more. its like dynoing a bone stock car, the only reason to do it is to see where yous tarted from incase you're puttin the car on a diet.
