    03 Viper for $15k

    Its a great buy for someone who wants to make a custom car on that framework. 'Moe

    ***Getting an R/C into the low 12s***

    I was unaware an 04 RC would run low 13's in stock form. I thought I recall reading they were in the area of 13.7-13.8? Again I just want to plan and budget a build, like I do before I buy any performance car, so I know what I would need to spend to get where I want to be. Knowing the mileage...

    ***Getting an R/C into the low 12s***

    Well I looking at an 04 RC tomorrow morning and I want to know what I am getting myself into money wise to get it where I want to be. I figure its a high 13's truck stock and mid 13s with headers, mids, catback(maybe) and a tune with good tires. I'm really just trying to budget a build before I...

    ***Getting an R/C into the low 12s***

    My concern with spray is I feel its harsh on the engine with that sudden burst of heat etc... These are low CR engines. Do they hold up to low boost ok on stock internals? What would a "safe" shot of spray be on stock internals? 100 shot? IS there any real serious ground to be gained...

    ***Getting an R/C into the low 12s***

    What does it take to get an 04 R/C into the 11's? More to the point what does it cost to RELIABLY get into the low 12's? DD friendly low 12's? Is this possible? Thanks for your time and information. 'Moe

    Tuning question

    X2 on the GTO parts. Stuff for my 04 is very pricey. The problem is they only made the car for three years...sound familiar? To top that off they sold right in the area of 40k cars over the three years so there is not a huge market. $200 for a mail in tune seems reasonable to me for what that's...

    Winter is coming

    I think its all in knowing how to drive in the conditions. Not much you can do about salt though. Keep it clean with a weekly trip to the touchless car wash. I have had two 4WD vehicles and can count on two hands the number of times I used 4WD and can count on one hand the number of times I...

    Flywheel question

    When I changed the clutch out on my GTO to a monster stage 3 I went with the stock weight flywheel. I don't think there are any major pros/cons either way. Lighter wheel and the engine spins that much faster. I don't think at mere mortal power levels the flywheel weight is a MASSIVE place to...

    Tire Update Firestone Destination ST

    I had the Toyo Proxes on my GTO and it was a good tire. Nothing to rave about but it performed reasonably well and wore very well. With that said I am not a huge "tire" guy. 'Moe

    Jegs Mopar upgrades...

    $40,000 for an 800hp motor seems INSANE. Unless that includes the price of sexy lady mechanics to put it in...that's possibly the stupidest thing I have seen as far as price per HP goes. Who buys that? $40k and 800hp? Am I missing something here? 'Moe

    CAI/TB

    I saw your pictures Sky. Looks well removed from hot engine air but to do so you have a lot of bends. A compromise I would say. With that said I applaud your fab skills. I love to see guys making their own stuff. What size tubing did you use? 'Moe

    ***Anyone recognize this truck near Boston***

    I've spoken to David on his RC. I'm VERY interested in it. Spoke with him on the phone and seems like a great guy with a great truck. I need to sell my GTO before I can do anything which presents itself with various challenges. Really would love to buy his truck. Its about in the ballpark of...

    CAI/TB

    I was thinking some Al. tubing and as few bends as possible and relocating the IAT to a place where it would read cooler air while locating the filter as far from hot underhood air with as few bends as possible would be ideal. I know in the GTO's/Vettes the OTR(Over The Radiator) CAI is ideal...

    Carbon Fiber Dash Kit

    Its to a point the CF look has been so riced out that when I see CF I immediately think FACK or RICE. If you are looking for a new interior look think of something else. CF overlays seem...Over done at best and RICEY at their worst. My brother has the CF in his 13 300 SRT8 and even that looks...

    2015 Chally Drag Pak test runs

    Yeah you can option the 392 Hemi without going to the SRT8. I forget what its called but its about $38k and just a hair under the SRT8 core sticker. 'Moe

    ***Anyone recognize this truck near Boston***

    Sounds like finding one of these that has not been wrecked, raced or otherwise abused is going to be harder than finding a 5.0 Mustang that's not been beat on. Maybe I should go back to my original Turbo GMC 5.3 Canyon idea hahaha 'Moe

    2015 Chally Drag Pak test runs

    As big a MOPAR guy as I have been and as much as the Challenger is by FAR the best looking of the next gen muscle cars...its still just slow compared to the GT and SS. YES the new Hellcat is one HELL of a car but I think we'd be hard pressed to say that the next offering of the GT500 won't do...

    ***Anyone recognize this truck near Boston***

    As cool as this truck sounds....It may not be the one you want to buy from what I am reading. Am I wrong on this one? Anything I should look for in the engine? I wonder how much a good mechanic would charge to do a compression and leak down test? I've heard it said that these motors are only...

    ***Anyone recognize this truck near Boston***

    2006 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Srt-10 2dr SRT10 For Sale In Revere Allston Arlington Circle Auto Sales Was curious if anyone here recognized this truck. Looks like it has the Venomous1 super snake hood and possibly a few other things. Thanks for the intel guys. 'Moe

    The search function is amazing!

    I was new to the GTO 3 years ago. But had been around LS powered cars for MANY years. I find that the newb questions stir up old information that has settles down in the bottom of the knowledge pool/forum and helps keep everyone current. Some times a newb question about mufflers or best CAI or...
