What all is done to the car thus far?

101fng · June 11th, 2009, 11:36 PM

exhaust. everything else is stock. i probably should've mentioned that earlier.

1FUN4RD · June 11th, 2009, 11:37 PM

Gears, short throw shifter, Cold air intake.

07stanggt · June 11th, 2009, 11:39 PM

Exactly. CAI/TUNER and 4.10s. New car.

Is it an auto or manual? The optimal gearing is 4:10's for a manual and 3:73's for an auto.

are you sure that's not backwards? anyway, i'll be getting a s/c on down the road so if i don't stick with my 3.55s then i'll get 3.73s.

Well in that same line of thinking dont get a cai and tuner either, the supercharge will come with a cai and youll need another tune. Just put it towards the supercharger.

Bank it.

how bout gears, short throw, and some suspension shit?

edit: and the s/c won't be coming until after the next deployment. i don't want to feel like i'm strapped for cash, you know?

TheUNZippee! · June 11th, 2009, 11:51 PM

Cold air intake and tuner with custom tunes, and gears would be my suggestion.

101fng · June 12th, 2009, 12:08 AM

well, since i will be gettin a blower on down the road, i think i'm going to mostly focus on suspension. are there any good kits out there that will leave me with enough dough for gears and a shifter?

usafimj · June 12th, 2009, 12:16 AM

If your getting a s/c then get a nice suspension set up. Custom Handling Package

Jucostud · June 12th, 2009, 12:24 AM

how 'bout mac lt's, o/r x, and 4.10 gears? You don't exactly have a new exhaust... you just have mufflers.

Suspension

Probably for one or the other, but not gears AND a shifter.

But keep in mind bro, if you get gears, then you will need the tuner anyway to calibrate the speedo.

suspension

And it will be useful for him to have a tuner when he gets a S/C so he can make future adjustments like tire size, save his S/C tune and his stock tune so if he ever has to go back to stock, and check for trouble codes.

that custom kit looks mighty rich for my blood. would i really want all that shit once i get the s/c? what about just springs and shocks?

Yes, and I contemplated stating that, but quite often when you purchase a supercharger, the kit comes with a hand held tuner.

that BMR lowering package looks a lil more appealing. good point about the gears. but, don't most s/c's have a "tuner kit" that excludes tuners and other odds and ends?
