    Supercharger kit and other gear

    Hi man, welcome to NYM! Where in the bx are you? Like tom said above, a trade-in might make sense, but I don't know how attached you are to the car or if gas mileage is a big deal for you (in which case, you might want to reconsider the gears). I don't know what your budget or goals are but...

    Wheel/tire suggestions

    So I'm looking for some suggestions on wheels and tires for my 06 GT. Just supercharged it and going with 4.10 gears soon so I'm looking for stickier tires than my NT555s. I was thinking of the NT555R, but I'm leaning toward the NT05 since I'd like it to last a few summers and it's still my...

    That just happened to me an hour ago! Some ridiculous blue civic tailed me for a block then pulled up next to me. I need no part of that on a Sunday afternoon with groceries in the trunk lol

    Tom, yeah, uppers and lowers, my suspension is pretty much all upgraded with Steeda. Edge, I was actually thinking of the M/T SS too or NT555Rs, they seemed like the best compromise between driveability and traction. I don't think I'll be at the track often, so I'd like to get some life out of them.

    Thanks for the advice. After driving it more, maybe drag radials is the next thing :)

    Thanks everyone! Came in at 392 hp, 9.6 psi. And hooley sheet, it's a completely different animal! I hope it never gets old. Already thinking of getting an intercooler and smaller pulley, but I think I'll enjoy this for now. Thanks again!

    Hey Tom, thanks for the advice, I've got a Steeda separator. Don't know how much boost it's making yet, maybe 7 psi, but it's nonintercooled so I can't turn it up too high. I'm guessing I'll make just shy of 400 hp but we'll see. 4.10 gears, Kooks headers and an intercooler is next on my list...

    Finally decided to supercharge my 3V with a vortech. Dropped it off earlier this week at Realspeed and now I've got serious cabin fever waiting. Does this happen to everyone?

    Wow that's a great deal! I've got NT555s and like them. I've been eyeing a set of G2s on CDC outlaw rims.

    I've been frustrated with AM lately too. Their sales used to be much better, but now it's primarily their own products like SR or MMD. Granted they do offer price matching, but there are still better options out there nowadays. LMR has 7% off site wide now, Steeda does 10% for the asking. Plus I...

    S197 door leather insert repair

    That's an easy fix if it's only peeling, I did it a couple months ago. All you need is spray adhesive, hair brush, tape and a vacuum. Plenty of YouTube videos on it. Takes 15 minutes.

    Is lowering by 1" safe in NY?

    Ah ha, thanks for pointing that out, I had no idea the S550 was significantly lower.

    Is lowering by 1" safe in NY?

    I had the same concern before I put on Steeda sport springs but I never regretted it. In fact sometimes I wish I went more aggressive. Only problem I do have are curbs and steep driveways because I have a chin spoiler so it'll scrape a little there from time to time if I'm not careful, but if...

    Don't know if it's a problem on 2010+ stangs, but rust was a big issue for 05-09 hoods, paint started to peel on edges. TSB for it but not covered under warranty.

    Oh no, I wasn't looking at the twin turbo lol! The single kit will keep me under 450-500rwhp with normal boost I think. $1899, plus injectors, boost a pump, big air sensor I figure makes it ~$2500? That Saleen looks amazing under the hood though
