73 and like everyone else here, I didn't get this thing to drive around town. I have so much $$s into the chassis dynamics and trying to keep it NA so I can carve up the canyons. Just too much fun. The Tremec solved so many issues I can't begin to describe. Couple of sets of wheel/tire set...
I added some rectangular pieces of rubber at the cross member; they're about 1 cm thick. Drastically improved vibration from me.
Good Idea, said the eskimo
Had to lower my trans 7/8" + to get vibration done to a level I can drive with. Haven't actually determined angles yet, but will soon. Contacted MDL and Bruce seemed to feel it was 'very weird' and said they had everything worked out with the kit. Interesting that you, too, have an...
I realize you spec'd OEM. I have a set of MRR M350 19x11s (4) for sale w/4s tires about half worn (approx 3300 mi) $1700 obo I am in Prescott, AZ Still on car I will send pics upon request
dblcbra Let us know how you end up. Is the 350 brace different contour than 5.0?
I called whipple and it took awhile, but got 8 3/8" as the dimension from the intake flat to the top of the gen 5. I am running an aftermarket hood and have at least 1" more clearance. For me, this is a deal...
GMB Racing Gee, I thought I was a bit slow on the milage I am at 10,436 and have another 100 miles on the break in on the Tremec conversion on my 2015 GT PP. I have a complete drivetrain, less motor, from the flywheel to the wheels (inclusive of FW, clutch, MT82 w/Barton, QA1 DS, 3.73...
db252 - Not forced induction, but same trans/DS as you. Just received my Lund tune. No time ti deal with it now.
Car is running quite rough. Will report when I get everything working. The only thing I can think of is the shorter DS geometry demands more exact rotational centering back to...
Thanks. I will do that. Although I think I will wait a bit for some of the silliness to subside. People, probably, are not thinking along these lines at the moment.
Mentioning the RXT chewing up input shaft (mine is the RST), was it the splines? Your slight depressing of the clutch? I went with the McLeod before I knew better. How many miles before you had issues? To do over I think the Tilton would be my choice. How do you like the Mantic? I...
Thanks for the reply. I think that this will resolve itself. I just thought it was a strange comment coming from a different tuner than I was originally working with. As noted, I have time to work all this out. Just got it back from the shop with the new diff gears (4.09). Big...
John Nardi replied with the negative for the cruise control. I spec'd to disable the launch control and rev hang on my tune request, and, so far, haven't been queried one way or another on their viability. Not in super hurry here, as the entire driveline is hardly broken in. Trying to work...
Just getting the Tremec swap set-up running (new clutch, trans, diff) and trying to get the tune worked out from Lund. They just got back with me telling me I can't have cruise control with the T56. Anyone find this is a fact?
Well, got it in and am trying to get everything adjusted (whiteline shifter which is a bit confusing), And, yes. 4.09 gears are in the offing for sure. Saw on the Steeda page that 4.09 gears will not work with the Torsen LS. Anybody know more?
Well, we'll see. As the MT82 1st gear is absolutely useless, The 2.66 is a calculated guess will be better than the 2.97. The other thing is a better spacing throughout the gearing. I am hesitating to call it a close ratio gear set, but it is a great deal better than the 2.97 gear set...
The 1/4 " dimension helps. Thanks. I was looking at your pic for the solenoid and trying to determine the contact point, hence the grinding option. That center section is pretty robust on the S550. Did you mention a ram or go with the big hammer method? And, yes, the tremec is a bit of...
