FI or Nitrous are the only 2 things that will help you overcome the High DA's that you will have since both are pressurized. No CAM, no tune, no mod is going to condense the air for you and create more combustion other than FI or Nitrous.
You will always be playing catchup mod for mod until...
everyone who buys a car should be forced to learn what Density Altitude is. That would reduce a lot of the wasted jibber jabber about why this dynoed that ect...
Tuning yourself will always be superior once you learn it. Don't let anyone deter you or fool you that it takes some kind of magic touch. its simple math and once you start getting the hang of it you can do tunes that are vastly superior to "can" tunes that will NEVER be optimal. NTM when you...
Not to burst your bubble about the plugs it might have helped but something else also helped ALOT.
Your first timeslip the DA was in the 400's. The second timeslip the DA was around -1200 That is Negative 1200. 400 da to a negative -1200 is a pretty big difference. that can easily account...
What area and date and time was this dyno? do you have a printout or pic of the time? I am curious on the density altitude during the run. and yes removal of the Cats is what increases your power not really the LT themselves. The Cats are the biggest restriction on basically any modern car...
There isn't much difference in modding between Auto's and Manuals for the most part.
The most commons "bolt on" modifications and things people get are in no specific order Long tube headers in conjunction with aftermarket exhaust, Cold Air Intakes and a tune. IMO if you want to maximize the...
with normal generic "synthetic oil" from say mobil 1 or Castrol, royal purple or Pennzoil ect your going to be fine anywhere around 5k-7k unless your doing a lot of Hard aggressive driving or happen to be pulling extra weight. which i doubt many on here are pulling heavy trailers with there...
Solo as well here. they have been using the Helmholtz setup for a long long time. I have got several compliments on my exaust. Below is where I bought mine. Me and a couple others on here have been using their exhausts long before most on here even knew they existed...
I have more than half the tread left at 18k. A long as your not acting like an 18 year old doing burnouts at every light trying to race anything that moves the stock tires will last a good while.
I was also astonished when i realized my 15' premium had the dang rubber band 235's on the 18's.. im trying to figure out now what is the best combo of width vs brand/compound i can fit on these 18's. Very surprising to put a not so highly rated tire and so small on. but i guess its all about...
From what I have found online it seems my car is an oddball being a premium car with the tiny 235's on the 18s
So far the only really big improvement in dry grip i could find are the Nitto NT555 255/45ZR18
Their does not seem to be a huge selection of tires for these rims.
I'm guessing...
nothing wrong with Oiled filters. I've never had a MAF problem. neither do most other people who know not to spray a gallon on the filter.. The biggest thing is don't just throw the filter right back on after cleaning and oiling. let it sit somewhere for 30-40 minutes preferably in the sun...
Yeah. I prefer the note of the Solo's over borla/cora ntm same quality and better pricing :P
I've already been getting compliments and thumbs up all day driving around.
