Made my car too slow
Since times are tough money wise I decided to sell my nitro kit on my car. Almost sold the whole car for 12 grand
 . I put my 3:73 gears back in it for highway friendly use. I then wanted to test it out. It was almost as slow as a zo6....What have I done to my baby. I am now kicking myself in the butt. But there is still one good drawback. I still win races everyday. I guess when the money starts rolling back in I will put on a supercharger. Anyone have a good idea what brand and psi with my set-up? |

Damn, slow as a Z06? That's pretty shameful. On the bright side, you may have spared that T-5 of yours for a while. HEhehehe.

Hey Unit, How does that bbk sound...I have a bbk off-road on and a bbk hi-flow with cats brand new in the basement. Was thinking of putting it on now because emmissions are around the corner. Do you think it will make it sound girly or what. I mean Not as mean sounding?

IMHO a muffled thunder is more appealing than a hollow loudness. When I bought the car it had straight pipes with no cats. I like the BBK/Cat setup better. It does quiet it down a bit, but I like it a little quieter. When I get on it, you can still hear the engine roar above my 2 Tens in the back, but it can also be quiet when that cop is sitting and staring at you. LOL.
