    2002 ACR Detail - Phase II

    Looks incredible. I've looked through all your Phases on this and you did a great job! On a side note, is that a C6 under the cover in the garage?

    advantages and disadvantages to running ARP Head studs

    You can reuse headstuds, since they aren't stretch to yield they don't get out of shape when you torque them. I always put headstuds on first, then fit the gasket around them (insures proper gasket fitment, and you won't be hurting the gasket by twisting studs rubbing up against them). Studs...

    advantages and disadvantages to running ARP Head studs

    No they do not, they are not stretch to yield. If you have a lot of cylinder pressure (15psi of boost +, assuming stock stroke) you may want to check the torque every 6 months or so.

    What are the normal Bolt On Dyno and ET #'s?

    I'm definitely a novice in this car, the T/A was so much easier to get down the track. Haha, no prob! Yea, I've heard all about wheel hop. I was out of it pretty quick!

    What are the normal Bolt On Dyno and ET #'s?

    No Camaro for me. Bone stock out of about 5 runs it went consistent 12.4's at 117, best being a [email protected]. 60's were horrible, just couldn't get it to leave, it would either bog, or wheel hop like crazy. The car won't ever see the track really again, I was just curious what it would MPH, not...

    advantages and disadvantages to running ARP Head studs

    ARP studs (or any stud) provide much better clamping force than factory bolts. It is hard to explain so here is some verbatim from an article: "During engine assembly or maintenance, a bolt must be installed by torqueing it into place. Due to the head bolt’s design, it has to be rotated into...

    VCA member runs 11.4 in stock gen3

    It really won't vary much with comparable 60's. The reason you went 123 was because you had a worse 60'. Contrary to popular belief, a worse 60' will produce a higher MPH, when you spin off the line you are letting the tires gain speed earlier than they would if you dead hooked so the car will...

    CAT delete, will they do more than set the SES light?

    Interesting concept, were the non-foulers available in different sizes or do you know the thread pitch? I'm doing that. Thanks!

    CAT delete, will they do more than set the SES light?

    Did you leave the o2's in the exhaust?

    Finally bought a '96 B/W today...

    Sweet man! Looks identical to the 97 I just picked up (minus the stripes going through the tag area of course). Did you get a good deal on it?

    CAT delete, will they do more than set the SES light?

    It's a 97 GTS if that helps. I searched 'CATS SES', 'CAT removal' etc. and nothing definitive. If it doesn't pull timing or mess with the fuel trims, I'm not to worried about it, but if it is going to run horrible, I'll wait until the sims come in. Thanks in advance!

    CAT delete, will they do more than set the SES light?

    I'm considering deleting the CATS on the car, and on my other cars the code set off by the rear o2's doesn't do anything other than set the SES light, no performance damage, no crazy fuel dumping etc. I was wondering if it was the same with this car? I'll order sim's but they won't be here until...

    Thanks guys! Shot a PM over and I'm going to send the VCA stuff off in the a.m. :D.

    First Viper, new to the forum

    Yea, that place isn't my favorite, I was usually at Tulsa. I've been to the track a few times in the T/A (never was a big 'want' for me), but it definitely gave me a respect for power: another angle: Lol, when I started reading I was thinking 'that's a little harsh', thank man!

    What are the normal Bolt On Dyno and ET #'s?

    Good info, thanks :D. I hear ya, good time for sure! That is honestly kinda sad for me though, my white T/A went 11.6@117 AFTER heads/cam/exhaust/stall. Looks like I was on the wrong platform!

    What are the normal Bolt On Dyno and ET #'s?

    Haha, yea sorry, meant 1/4 mile. Is that 50 RWHP?

    What are the normal Bolt On Dyno and ET #'s?

    I tried searching but couldn't find much. What would a normal 97 GTS do with Intake/longtubes/catback on the dyno, and at the track, considering a decent driver. The car made 410/464 stock, and I'm curious how much the intake exhaust will help it out. Sorry if it is a repost, I just couldn't...

    PICS – Went Twin Turbo

    Sick sick. That is the goal for mine, the last car was 800RWHP, so stepping into a stock GTS was an 'adjustment'. Looks wicked man, you even have my wheel choice! I love the gauge placement as well. Did you get the center console piece around the HVAC/shifter/radio covered, or is it faux CF?

    New VCA Wheel Vendor - An Introduction

    What's up NineBall, I talked to you about wheels for the T/A on tech', but that other guy grabbed the Astra's before I could. I've been looking at either iForged Flux's, or iForged Daytona's. I'm thinking brushed centers, polished lip. I'm curious on what you think on sizing, and if you had a...

    First Viper, new to the forum

    I might be able to, I may be going to the track Sunday with some friends to get a base line. It will probably be the first and last time this car see's the 1/4. I'll try to though, Deep Fork sounds good right now, lol.

    First Viper, new to the forum

    Thank you sir! Out of curiosity, which station/location are you out of. My best friends dad is an OKC FF. Most definitely, it'll be my first TX2K event, and I'll def. either be on bottle or FI... and still slower than either of our T/A's, yours by a quite a bit more, lol.

    First Viper, new to the forum

    The great thing about the English roads are that they turn, most everything local to me is on grids so they are very straight, not the most fun for a well handling car or bike. I did notice a few crazy drivers when I went back, but it was actually a nice couple of days while I was there...

    First Viper, new to the forum

    I knew that would happen when I wrote fella's! Fail for me! When I say 700RWHP and stock, I mean much less of a race car than the T/A turned into. I'd be happy with a decently easy cold start. :D How's the mother land? I was born in Reading, Berks, moved here in 97 when I was 11. I just got...
