    Do the 17" or 18" wheels work with a lowered car (1.5-2")?

    I installed the Global West Negative roll system (frt upper control arms, springs,frt sway bar,rear control arm,no rear sway bar) with their Delum bushings. My wheels are the GTA 16x8" with 245/50 fronts and 255/50 rears. The front brakes are 12" 1LE. The car handles great on the street. I've...

    Wheel tire choice in the 16 -18 inch range

    I heard that wheels with 17x8.5" w/4.25" back spacing and 255-40s in the front and 17x9.5" w/4.75" back spacing and 285-40 in the rear is a good combination but I do not know if this is good with a lowered car?

    Performance Gains

    I can vouch for the power enriching properties of Dr. Nehi! At the 2001 Nationals, Dr. Nehi helped me run in the low 12s without detonating! Pepsi or Coke couldn’t hold a candle to The Doctor! ;)

    How much fuel pressure with RA107 & 009s

    I'm looking to push the boost towards 30psi ,and want to know how much fuel pressure can be run with RA 107 chip & 009s until injectors are maxed? I usually start at 43psi and beginning tuning. I've just installed the 0.63 housing on the TA60 and I want to know if upgrading the injectors will...

    Wastegate Actuators: heavy duty vs super heavy duty

    I'm thinking about upgrading the stock actuator to help reduce boost creep. It is my understanding that the difference between the heavy duty and the super heavy duty actuator is that the spring is heavier on the super heavy duty. Right? I plan to run 26-27 psi 2&3rd at the track...

    RA's 107 chip and keeping boost constant

    OK, now let me ask some basic questions: How do you by-pass the ECM solenoid? Do you mean a bleeder valve in the cockpit for manual adjustment of boost? If so then how would you change boost through the run? I assume you would adjust it by hand.... These might seem like simple questions but I...

    RA's 107 chip and keeping boost constant

    Thanks for the information, guys! I'm now in the process of porting the wastegate and will consider a heavy duty wastegate actuator.
