I have the boss mani and love it! 4500rpm and up pulls like a beast. With 3.73's I don't feel any loss at all. I'm full bolt on w/ steeda race tune and can only get into the car 1/2 throttle and she still breaks lose. Need drag radials this is what my set up is capable of runnin with DR's.

Yeah I'm looking for a daily driver that will run with most street cars that think there fast. I haven't done any suspension mods yet but there coming. Springs, LCA, shocks and struts. I'm not really to sure what route to go. I want the boss intake and a custom tune next then probably suspension mods.

I got the 4.10 gears before the intake and I did notice a loss of low torque after I installed the Boss. Before it would spin the tires if I coughed and get it sideways in 3rd. The Boss with the 4.10's made it more drivable I thought. One mod at a time lets you know what you like or dislike and learn. I like the 4.10's but could maybe live better with 3.73's.

Not to bad actually. I'm on stock 18s, but the Pirellis seem to hook up pretty good. If I feather out first then gun it, it will spin then hook, screech a little sideways into 2nd, and bark 3rd. I am pretty surprised at the way the car squats and goes, it definitely hooks up better than my 08 or 97 did. I'll keep u posted on the intake, I hope it gets here by the weekend!

I'm trying to figure out if I want to get the boss intake first of the gears. My gears got me to a stock time of 12.9 and I beat people in the low end so that's why I've been debating changing them, but what I've heard 3.73's will help me alot more for my street driving.
