What does the the TVT265 all include, and how much does it run?
From the sounds of it I'll be going with the 3" CAI probably a setup that runs behind the grill for some nice fresh air. After that I'll get the injectors, plugs, and prolly some new plug wires (while I'm at it) upgraded. After that maybe take it down and get it tuned out. Maybe get the exhaust on first depending on the funds at my disposal.
As for the tires, is going 18 all the way around pretty much just for drag? What are the benefits of going with the 18" in the rear? I've heard people say "No matter what you do with rims and tires, keep the stagger." Thoughts?
P.S. You couldn't be more helpful. All of you. I love how active this forum is.
I can't speak for Tony's TVT 265 package. You should contact him.
Dropping tire and wheel size is effectively the same as lowering your rear end gear ratios. Only much quicker and you can go back to stocksize easy. I wouldn't do it permanently but for the track it might help lower my trap times.
From a handling stand point, the stagger seems to add stability. Plus the car is program to respond to the 19" wheels. TC and stability controls are set in that range. I don't know if such a change would effect these systems.
Some guys have done it or gone 20" all around. I am not inclined to try it for normal driving.
We have a Dragon meet this coming April 16th thru 18th. If you can get away, it is worth the trip. Dragon has had a rock slide but is open. So we may get to ru it as a closed course.
I'm trying to make room in my schedule. ss of now, doesn't look good.
