I moved it



Please read this thread for what should be in tech

Just because it's a 2011 doesn't make it required to be in tech.

It wasn't a big deal I was just making the comment because there were multiple post like mine in the tech section for days and mine was up for like an 1hr and it was moved. That was it, no big deal

That is what you call the right way to do an N/A 4V car.

Why not 5.30 gears?

Why not 5.30 gears?

We would do 5.14's but haven't done the heads yet. Why is everyone scared of gears. These cars will still get your groceries and you have 6th gear. If you want to cruise down the road at 80mph all day then that's a different story but 65-70mph will not be a problem with these cars and gears. The car makes power over 7000 rpms, this isn't the 60's guys and gals.

I ran 4:88s in my NA 96 4V back in the day and didn't own a trailer. Don't fear the gear!!

4.88's Are not practical on the hwy... not because I can't handle the rpms, but its the long pulls you will be getting hurt on

We're talking about bang for the bucks with these cars. You have a hugh rpm range that is hurt by not gearing the cars. I understand if this is your only car and drive 70miles to work each day it doesn't cut it for most but I would if I owned one and I drive about 80miles to work both ways each day.
