upgrades, could not find anything.
Dynamic Racing offers a cam regrind
for $800, but there are no specs on
their website for them. $849
additional for adjustable cam gears.
Prices are a little insane, but at
least someone stuck their neck out and is
selling product.

Sankar,
This sounds like a classic
case of compressor surge. It happens when you
either don't have a BOV, or
the one you have is not working properly.

Team3S: Downpipes and double posting
I appologize if I am still double
posting emails. I am trying something to stop this but if this gets double
posted again I won't post until the issue is resolved.
Now for technical
issues:
Extreme Motorsports also makes a performance down pipe but you
have to use a shorter main cat or a test pipe. this sounds identicle to
ATR It Runs $350
http://www.extrememotorsports.com/gscat/down.htm
DN Performance also has a polished stainless downpipe for
$269. It doesn't have a flex section. You might want to call and check
pipe diameter
becasue it is not listed on web page.
http://66.24.81.222/exhaust.html
DN also has pre-cat eliminators but I think you would have to be
crazy and/or rich to buy them for $499 when it is so easy to gut your pre-cats
yourself.
As for Bob Meltons down pipe.
I am expecting some
performance gain.
The connections to each pre-cat is 2 1/2" dia
verses 2" dia stock.
The main pipe is 3" instead of 2 1/4" stock.
The
flex section is 3" same as stock (I think)
The 2 1/2" pipe into
the elbow of a 3" pipe looks a little odd to me but it does
look like it
will flow better than stock.
The older one I have actually looks
alot like a ATR except it is aluminized.

Re: Team3S: Ground Control - how hard to install?
I have re-installed the
GC kit (this like the 6th time!). The ride is
much improved. Before (bump
stops on top of springs, wrong), I had to
switch to Sport ECS mode as soon as
leaving my house. Now (bump stops
inside of springs, correct) I made it all
the way to work and never
felt compelled to switch from Tour ECS mode. The
ride is a little
more bouncy than stock, but not embarrassingly so. Overall I

I have the GC kit installed wrong and that is why the

A fellow Team3S member (thanks Tom) informed me
I installed the GC
kit incorrectly. I just called GC and confirmed this. I
have the bump

springs! I
will correct this soon and let the list know the difference in

Not so sure the language will be real

All you need is the picture of the part and

Sometimes you need the name but at that point you
can ask the list for a

RE: Team3S: Ground Control - how hard to install?
I agree with
Jeff. We had the same comments when we first installed the GC
kit - the
instructions need to be more explicit (and I don't mean like that
track babe
on Jeff's Website). A diagram showing the completed assemblies
would
have gone a long way to accomplishing this,as would use of
nomenclature for
components that was identical to that used in the Service
Manual.
70%
is still passing!

Subject: RE:
Team3S: Downpipes
So with all these posts about downpipes...
Is it
imperative that you have equal backpressure on both banks' exhaust?
For
example if you used a downpipe that removes the front and main cat and
you
*don't* gut your rear pre-cat... It makes sense that for optimal
power,
you'd want the backpressures to be as close as possible. I'm
wondering if
you had significantly more restriction on one bank, would it
cause problems
(I don't know - vibrations, engine rocking, etc)? OTOH,
the stock downpipe
presents significantly more resistance to smooth airflow
by the 90 degree
bend as the banks' exhaust merge. Anyone have a
definitive answer?
