hey, just got a couple questions before i make my decision. well my birthday is comin up in october, and my mom just asked me what i want for my car. i really want 3.73 gears and a t-lock.

Q.1. are gears and a tlock gonna help me on a quarter mile time? the only time i have been to the track i ran a 15.9 at like 89mph. what, on average, would i get in performance wise with that upgrade.

Q.2. was wondering if there are a certain "Better" spark plugs i should run? or does it not really make that much of a difference?

i had a couple other questions but now they just dissapeared out of my head. when i remember them i will post again.


p.s. my girlfriend is gettin me a chin spoiler for my b-day, im pumped, i think those look really good

[Luvdmustang]

is it an automatic?
get the tlok and gears.

[Luvdmustang]

oh, and for sparkplugs, me personally, i used/use autolites and gap them.

[Onemanzu]

they can reduce up to a half second on your e.t if you set it up right...

and plugs... plain copper ones will work...

auto or 5speed?

[Juggalo_X]

auto or 5 speed get the 4.10's some ppl say ooooohhh nooo you have a 5 speed get 3.73 but if u know how to shift 4.10's are good gears will take about a second off your 1/4 mile

i went from a 15.8 to a 15.3 from 4.10s and a t-lok. added drag radials and went 14s.

yah i suppose if you dont got tires to give you the extra advantage of traction that the t lock and 4.10 add then u dont gain as much.

[emgjsdk1]

if you dont have a cai check out ebay
check around for some dual cat backs
or if you have the money convert to true dual

u have a auto rite ?....last time at the track i went a sad 15.4 all night...this friday i might go again with the ported lower intake and new tune...should run 15.3 if not better...still no T lok and stock gears...on the manual trans. .......im might take the ported upper off before the track...idk if its gona help without a new tune...i guess we'll see

[MisterFast3]

yea, i got a 5speed. and also have k&n cold air intake, bbk throttle body, and aftermarket coils and wires with dual magnaflows. so if i got 4.10's i should maybe be expecting .5 second off at max?

yeah, get the gears and t-lok. if you have the tuner already, you can correct the speedo. expect to pay about 700 for gears/t-lok/install, more if you dont have the tuner or speedcal to correct the speedometer

[MisterFast3]

well me and my dad are gonna install them ourselves, he has worked on cars his whole life, so that shouldnt be a problem, how much is my speedo gonna be off? and also so when i get those i should buy a tuner?

[AtlanticBlue99]

speedo wil be about 20mph off at 70 with 4.10s over 3.27s

ya i would reccomend it... a tuner is a good investment and the more mods you put on you can keep updating your tune

[MisterFast3]

ok, so whats a pretty decent tuner for my money. do i also need to buy a chip if i get a tuner?

[02ponypackage]

15.3s with bolt ons, 410s, and a t lok ? what was ur 60' ?

[tjames]

no you dont need a chip, a tuner is better then a chip in that with a tuner you can change your mods and your tune, with a chip your stuck with one tune. SCT or SNIPER are supposed to be the best

[02ponypackage]

Not really about the chip ^ you can get chips that have 3 or even up to 5 tunes on it...I believe Diablo has one like this...and Sniper im assuming because they are the ones who make it....
