NYC1 · 03-14-2002, 12:47 PM

Ok i lied... 7 Q's

The list kept getting longer. Thanks in advance for any help.

1. Which brand drag radials hook better? (I have 17 X 9 rims)

2. Do I need to upgrade my TB to 70mm? (don't wanna loose pwr)

3. What size Mass Air? (have stock MAF/Sensor on cold air)

4 Do the rear springs from a 94 Cobra fit a 94 GT?

5. Do high flow cats make an off road exause noticably quiter if at all, and do they slow ET's?

6. What size Cam and Rockers recommended?

7. Would I Need to upgrade stock injectors?

It's a daily driven car.

1. The BFG's hook best, but the Nitto's handle better on the street, like when it is wet.
2. No the 65mm tb is great for your combination.
3. A 73mm maf is fine for your combo, a 76mm would be better if you are going to be doing more mods (ie alum. heads, power adders etc.) course you do that you'll want to go with the 70mm tb as well.
4. Yes
5. If you have cats you don't have off road exhaust. Yes it would make it a little quieter and they are a restriction so you would lose hp, though i don't think it is all that noticeable unless you are well over 300hp.
6. You probably don't want anything too radical, I have the TFS stage 1 and i like it, and i prefer 1.6 rockers (if I want more lift I'll use a bigger cam) it seems to me the 1.7's are a little more harsh on the springs.
7. The 19#'s are probably good enough right now, but you want to make sure you have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator so you can boost the pressure if you need more fuel. (the Kirban is a very nice unit and is only $70 or so at www.jdsperformance.com)

If I was you I'd get the FPR first and a 73mm maf second, you can pick one up used for a real good price, check the corral and/or stangnet.
