Re: Faster off the line.

Is your car stock? Get some sticky tires. Replace your stock torque converter with an after market stall converter. Buy some steeper gears for the rear. get a small shot of N2O. The list is never ending. You have a very basic question that could receive a very broad range of answeres, like I have listed here. The performance of your car will really depend on your budget. So basically its hard to answere that question because we have no idea of any mods that may already be done, your budget, how wild you want to get, ect ect ect.

So far I have a Magnaflow Exhaust and a CAI installed. I do not have a huge budget but I got some money to spend. I am not going to take her to the drag strip but when I step on the gas I want to feel it!

Re: Faster off the line.

Then in that case a set of 3.73 gears for your rearend would be in order. These gears are steep enough to give you that seat of the pants feel, yet mild enough to keep your gas mileage reasonable. Your gas mileage probably will go down some, but not much.

A T-loc, you mean a line lock? A line lock is for manual transmissions. If you mean a trans brake, then it is useless on the street. If you meant trac-lok then that is the differential in the rearend which should be fine since the car is an 01.

Re: Faster off the line.

yea i was talking about the trac-lock witch makes both wheels spin on ur car and gives it a lot better traction so u dont have to work on a launch. im still think u should get 4.10's expecialy since u already have 3.27's ur gonna spend probaly around $800-$1000 getting gears and everything u need so it wouldent be worth almost $1,000 to go from a 3.27 to a 3.73 expecialy on a small budget
