3800 What should I spend my next $1500 on??

[Royalgtp]

1) Quaife Differential- ( Help with my badly needed traction)

2) Bear Brake kit (need brakes in about 5k miles)

3) Intercooler(would be sweet, but traction is already tough. Would be great for the top end)

Help me decide........Other mods in my sig....... h34r:

you shoulda done a poll LOL But I choose # 3 since I cant have one

 

[horist]

a TH400 and if you can't use it I'll take it


I'd do a differential first and upgrade whatever trans components you can

Just write us a check. We'll tell you what's good!

Seriously though, the Quaife is an awesome mod, the Intercooler is an awesome mod, and the Baer's are even awesomerest! I'm a big fan of suspension mods and braking. The Baers are on my list. That would be my choice.

 

[Royalgtp]

Yeah, MFULLER on this site PMd me and he said hands down the Baer brake kit was his best mod ever.

He said the braking was unbelievable and they still look great after 2 years.



These brakes along with my other suspension mods would feel awsome......


Still not sure......

Mike, What is the difference in your Baer kits (F and R) vs. PFYC.coms?????

PFYC is cheaper, but does not seem to include rear calipers in thier kit.

In your website, you have to buy the frt and rear seperatly?

How do the other brake offerings on your site compare?

If anyone else knows, please fill me in?

You dont need a BEar KIT. I Gm 12: upgrade will perform well.
A quiafe is overkill unless you plan on doing some serious modding..
An IC well its a win win situation.

You can do a smaller pulley and add timing. OR run pump gas when gas goes too high.

just do an LS1 Caliper/rotor upgrade then w/4" wide tires up front I have no problem slowing down from 120+ (well right now only 115 but new TC should gimme my missing mph) to a near stop w/in the shutdown area

 

[Royalgtp]

I forgot about the ls1 upgrade.....

Got a like or someone who sells this yet??????

How much?

 

[jk99gtp]

I second what Alex said, go with the 12" GMPP upgrade.

I recently did it to my GTP and its the greatest thing I've ever done mod wise yet, next to the rockers.

 

[dole21]

how far are you looking to go with modding?

A quaife might be overkill for ya. sure its great..but a Gen 2 LSD would be wonderful too.

and how bad can you're traction be? you've running a 3.4 and headers...sounds like ya need to work on launching...LOL

 

[Ripn12s]

Quaife

then later one you could get a SS intercooler

 

[Mike K]

John,

If you combine our front and rear kits, they are more expensive than PFYC because we offer replacment aluminum rear calipers as well as cross drilled/ slotted rear rotors, Hawk Pads, and SS brakelines. The front kit we sell is the same as the PFYC kit for $500 less and no rear rotors.

I personally thing upgrading the rears is a little overkill unless you plan on tracking the car.

As for the 12" brakes, I'm running them on my 98' and I think they suck. I'm running them with carbon ferrod pads also and they just can't get the job done. I'm going up to the 13" Baer rotors (which are labled incorrectly as 12.5" on our site, just an FYI).

The intercooler is fun, just have to watch out for those pumps.
