DavidM

Boredom

You aren't putting out enough HP to need relocation brackets and LCAs, go with the emblems and something else...

DavidM

HMmmm $200 bones to spend and not sure what to spend it on. you could do the following:

1. LCA's and relo brackets
2. Tint
3. Roush emblems and somthing else small
4. Center fog grill
5. Donate to the David SC fund

Get the tint, trust me, you will REALLY need it during the summer here in Tulsa...

DavidM

Dang it you were supposed to tell him that he needed to donate to my SC fund.

LOL

Actually I am... putting out over 300hp at the tires is enough to need relocation brackets and LCA, with the added HP and the now changed Geometry of the cars suspension I really do need some help in the suspension department

Shelby10'

I was putting out 290rwhp and 310rwt before the Steeda UDPs, Steeda CMCV delete plates, FRPP 4.10 gears, Roush off Road mufflers, and Bamachips 91 Race tune. I am estimating between 307rwhp and 315rwhp now. Plus I was already having traction and wheel hop issues when I was at 290rwhp and 310rwt cant imagine how its going to react after the lowereing and the added hp and tq

DavidM

My Personal Opinion on the LCA's is that the stock ones suck big time! They aren't sufficient for the power the car produces from the factory. That being said you have to decide where your priorities lie. Do you want to:

1. Drag Race
2. Road Race
3. Both 1 and 2
4. Neither 1 or 2
5. Drive to and from work in comfort

David I will add to your sc fund if you add to my wheel fund

Shelby10'

I think number 1 absolutely, but I also want the car to handle the corners as well

DavidM

Once you decide what you want the car to do. Then, and only then decide how to build the suspension.

For myself as an example. I want to drive in relitive comfort and enjoy an occasional jaunt down the 1320. So I have decided on the steeda ultra lites for springs, adjustable upper, chrome moly lowers, front sway bar eliminator/radiator support brace, and relocation brackets mabey after a SC. I could give a flip about twisty curvy stuff therefore I have nothing in my plan that would help in that regard.

DavidM

Be sure and use a plan that is track tested by a reputable company. Steeda, I know for a fact tests what they sell. Nothing worse than doing somthing just to find out it doesn't work the way you thought it would.

Plan first
Then Attack

Shelby10'

ok so get her drunk then ask her out... haha thanks for the tip david!!!

DavidM

exactly!

cobra4548

Jarrod, how could you be putting out 290 stock without a tune? Did you actually put it on a dyno or is that an estimate?

cobra4548

If you want to hook up, use drag radials...save your money for those...

DavidM

Well I'm gonna sit out and watch the show for a while. Good evening fellas!

Shelby10'

This is what i had when I dynod the car with chris. AFE CAI, Pypes O/R X, and dougs 91 performance tune, I have the dyno sheet if you would like to see it.

cobra4548

I misunderstood you...I thought you said it was 290 without a tune...I believe it since it was with a tune
