Not trying to "plug" any particular vendors, but since you mentioned reliability, I highly recommend replacing the stock damper with an ATI unit (or equal) and using the Roe crank pinning kit (or equal). The stock damper is cast iron and a POS in my opinion. The crank pinning kit that comes with...
Thanks Bat, I have the KW adjustable coilovers and ended up dropping it about 1" in the back and 1-1/4" in the front.
Your car looks great - luv the blue stripes on the VOI.9 cars. Would be my next choice but I couldn't resist the convertible. If I remember correctly didn't you have a black or...
All I can vouch for is the measurements taken on the rotors I took off my car. Maybe yours are different if you read it somewhere. I read the 2004 service manual.
No problem rcl4668.
Actually, the front and rear rotors are the same thickness at ~32mm. The difference in the weight is due to the front rotors having more material in the "hat", i.e. the distance from the outer face of the rotor to the outer face of the hat is greater on the front than the...
I installed the StopTech rotors (drilled) on my '04 and weighed all four stockers and the StopTechs:
Stock front rotors: 26.6 lbs. each
StopTech fronts: 17.6 lbs. each
Stock rear rotors: 24.2 lbs. each
StopTech rears: 17.6 lbs. each
As you can figure, total weight savings by changing...
Len,
Use the brake booster vacuum line which originates on the drivers side of the intake manifold. Cut this line fairly close to the intake manifold and install a "T", then route the FMU vacuum line to the side branch section of this "T". Also cut the vacuum line fairly close to the brake...
SRTLEN, don't want to hijack Ricky's thread but supporting pieces I put on with the kit (would advise for all Paxton installs):
1. ATI super damper. Dump the stock harmonic damper, the damper is the "link" that attaches the entire pulley system to the crank. Stock damper is cast iron, ATI is...
Do it Ricky, you won't be disappointed. 600 HP '08 should put down 520-540 to the wheels, stock '03-'06 with stock Paxton kit will put down 600 to the wheels easy. Paxton install is fairly simple if you have some mechanical aptitude, took me about 5 Saturdays but I installed a few extra...
Re: Best exhaust now, if I\'m doing Pax later?
I put on the Mopar cat back exhaust with the stock Paxton kit and a few supporting pieces, with a custom tune the car did 710 to the wheels with the stock headers and stock cats. Anything you do to open up the exhaust will help make power on a FI...
Tom, No problem and I would gladly try to help you out, however the tuner I used (Velociti) outside of Dallas went out of business a few months after I had it tuned which was about this time last year. I think they opened up under a new name but I can't remember what the name of the new shop is...
Snkeyez,
Ab is correct, the violet wire running from the slit second box was connected to a wire located in the large wire bundle which runs in the front of the drivers side valve cover, when hooked up it gives the split second box the ability to control the fuel injectors and timing. On a...
I have an '04 as well, totally stock engine/Paxton kit with Mopar cat-back exhaust plus ATI damper and DLM intercooler. I had mine tuned with the split-sec box and picked up ~70 RWHP, it did 640 with the stock tune, 710 after the final tune was in. My tuner said they could have gotten more out...
I'm running stock Champion plugs with .032" gap. Mine's an '04 with stock Paxton pulley, Mopar cat-back exhaust and custom tune. I also installed an ATI damper and DLM intercooler for peace of mind. So far I've got about 6K on it with the blower and it runs perfect. Make sure you put the 8:1...
Re: Any Gen3\'s with CCW 505A wheels?
I have the 505A's on my white mamba. For some reason I can't get the pics I have on cardomain to post anymore, just click on the link to check out some pics of mine from a previous thread. I did not have any fitment issues at all with the CCW's, they...
I think YellowViperSRT10 had that problem, not sure what the final cause was. I installed the KW's on mine and everything fit perfectly, they bolted right up as they should. If you have to drill out anything something's not right, they are a direct bolt on. I wouldn't be drilling on any...
I have the KW's on my '04. The ride is pretty smooth, it still "bounces" just a little bit on rougher roads like stock but for the amount I lowered it I have no complaints at all. Being able to adjust the ride height is also one of the reasons I went with the KW's. From what I understand with...
Here you go zen garage, they are CCW 505A's, 20x12.5 Rear and 19x10 front. I have to say they are one of the nicest set of wheels I've purchased for a car:
I am running the PS2 non-run flats on CCW wheels and have to agree with zen garage. The ride is noticeably better and traction is much better than with the run flats. I weighed the fronts and rears (wheel w/tire mounted) and compared them to stock when I put on the new ones. Rears were about...
