headers...

Re: What am I missing?
 

Yeah and an electric water pump :smack:

Re: What am I missing?
 

Changes to above:

1/2-3/4 intake spacer

Control arms - Not FRPPs but MM lowers and if adjustable Steeda adjustable uppers.

No need for a FRPP 90MM LMAF housing

No need for C-Springs - Stock Mach springs are very good with a 1/2 inch drop compared to GT.

No pullies just Electric water pump.

Remove the vibration dampener from the rearend diff housing.

Remove the quad shocks

Headers - Yes

Electric Waterpump - Yes

Gee, thanks guys. :butt:

Re: What am I missing?
 

Lol I think you got it all.

The list is the car as it sits now.

Re: What am I missing?
 

Upgrade your tranny and drive shaft.

Re: What am I missing?
 

What does that help with, launching?

Re: What am I missing?
 

+1.........I have aftermarket lca and ucas........what does removing the quad shock do?

Is there anything it can hurt by removing the quad shocks?

Re: What am I missing?
 

I just did a little searching and found the quad shocks are there to prevent wheel hop due to the factory control arms having rubber bushings. Most people say if you have good UCA & LCA's with poly bushings you can remove the quad shocks and not have to worry about wheel hop. I'm still not sure what the benefits are other than being able to clear wider wheels. I've also read that replacing worn quad shocks will help keep the rear end planted to the ground on a launch and give better control while accelerating turning.

Revised:

Buy another 3/8ths spacer and double up

Remove the vibration dampener from the rearend diff housing.

Remove the quad shocks

Headers - Yes

Electric Waterpump - Yes

Re: What am I missing?
 

thermostat

coilpacks

cobra intake cams

Gt fuel pump

24# injectors

lose the cats

alum flywheel

egr delete

breathers---keep the crap out of the engine(not pref but reduces detonation)

Re: What am I missing?
 

Cams arn't a bolt-on, and how will any of that besides Alum fly wheel help me?

EGE delete = does nothing
Coil pack... WHY
Pump/injectors, wont help
Cats already coming off when headers go on
Thermo - temps are already good.

Removing quad shocks = a bolt-OFF


"upgrade drive shaft" - its the first thing on the dang list...

Re: What am I missing?
 

changing thermostat provides nothing in newer vehicles(in older cars they helped), they are suppose to run at the temp that is controlled by the factory thermostat

been proven several times over that the factory coil packs are far superior in performance than aftermarket(do a search on the weaponX coils and DanB or M1M)

diggin into the heads leans away from being considered a bolt-on. also gains on those are not worthy unless u already have everything torn apart and can't afford some comp/crower cams

mach1's come with 24lb injectors stock, and the GT pump wont help out unless he is throwin a shot of nitrous or adding boost to the engine, stock pump is good to ~350-360rwhp i believe

Re: What am I missing?
 

Just common sense on most of these, do what you want. You wanted opinions, I gave mine.
