I was definitely impressed with build quality of the Pedders coil overs and caster plates when they arrived. They have been well respected in the Chevy world for years from the research I could find on them.
I have also added the Steeda Front Control Arms to the list of parts now as well...
Not quite my speed with those guys. After watching that show I now understand why a buddy of mine quite racing in that class, after he complained it was tough to get anyone to actually race instead of stand around and talk sh*t all the time.
2016 GT - PP - 18,500 miles.
Full suspension upgrade. Been gathering parts for about 6 months now and finally ready to have a wrench turning jamboree. Just waiting for last couple of parts to come in next week
:headbang:
Will give before and after change in handling report soon...
Eventually...
Every now and then, not all the time, I will feel a slight vibration in the clutch pedal right as the clutch is starting to engage up to where it is fully engaged, but not when the pedal is completely down and clutch is fully released.
It's a very slight vibration. doesn't seem to be any...
Ups and downs for both.
Bags are way cool but....
Cost
compressor noise
more to break
weight
lose trunk space
I went with coil overs, but I was more interested in cost to performance ratio than looks.
As MakStang said, check Ammo NYC's info vids on chip repair. He has some great YouLube how-to videos making them look like they were never there. Just takes time, patience, and elbow grease.
Considered a shot of nitrous for the straight aways instead of boost ?
Car has plenty of power in the twisties. Really just need that extra punch for the high speed straight aways.
Lighter, cheaper, no heat soak issues.
One of the great misconceptions about "boost". Boost is not a measure of air flow. It is a measure of back pressure. Open up the intake and exhaust, make the S/C more efficient and you have less restriction for the same amount of air flow. Less restriction = lower "boost psi" reading, but you're...
I think Whipple was claiming 30-50rwhp gain from the new Gen 3 design. So a Gen 2 would have made 650'ish rwhp. Which is probably the number you were expecting ?
