Thanks for all the info. I really appreciate the time.

Do you have a JEG's catalog? Did you find any Phantom Grips for sale?

i agree with edman that the trick is very very good engine management. but he laso forgot to mention tuning it. IMO you can run even 25 on pump gas as long as you have someone really good that can tune all the settings and i mean everything. Although i think there are some piggybacks out there that can be reprogramed easily and can be very flexible

also for high psi remember get colder spark plugs.

IMO as far as LSD's are concerned if you can find one for your car get a Quaife

He said he doesn't want to spend 800+ on a LSD. Thats why I recommended the Phantom Grip cuz it's only 300.

oh...i did not see that. but from what i hear some of those cheaper lsd's can lock up diring tight turns and that is bad,

That probably only happens when somebody that doesn't know what they are doing installed it.

maybe but you just cannot beat the performance of a cusco or a quaife. they are worth every penny....if you can afford them of course.

i plan to get a quaife on mine pretty soon. i mean heck they are waranteed even if you race...that sais a lot.

Yeah I think I would just save up to buy a quaife, no matter how long it takes. The Phantom Grip is a pain to install too.

I found the phantom grip for 259 + 6.50 shp. Is it worth it to upgrade to the green springs or are the gold ok.

I'm gonna go with the phantom, they have a lifetime warranty too. I hear its a pain to install though.

Rob80 · #25 05-16-2003, 05:16 PM

Well I bought the phantom grip gold 902 but I sent the extra 30 bucks and upgraded to green springs. I read some stories of the gold no being strong enough for the power they were putting down so I didn't take any chances. It was 295.50 shipped with green springs. I guess that's not bad.

PWMAN · #26 05-16-2003, 07:28 PM

No thats not bad at all, it's actually a good deal if it works good. Good luck with the installation.

Rob80 · #27 05-16-2003, 07:33 PM

yeah I read a post about some guy complaining that it took him 8 hours to do. The only good thing is the engine is getting popped anyway for sleeves, pistons, and rods. So I'll be able to get to the tranny no problem.

PWMAN · #28 05-16-2003, 07:52 PM

That will be nice then, you will be able to stand in the engine bay.
