Okay, in reply to my setup, I've got 18X7.5" with 225/40 tires. Black gloss on a black car, I don't know why it would be ugg. Anyways, I also noticed a big jump in pull power on the mid-high end when I removed my silencers. And I'm sure I can attain under 9.0 seconds in my auto with the mods I've got if I just launch good. I mean the gear ratios aren't THAT much off, are they? A whole 1.5 to 2 seconds slower in stock trim just because of the tranny?
Also, getting new pistons and rods WILL improve power gains on a worn engine. And the cost isn't 1100. I got prices for pistons for 300 and rods for 350. And I plan on doing the install on my own with some small help from a shop in the boring and cleaning of the block. Also I plan on turboing in the next couple years and the forged parts will definitely pay off in the long run. I'm gonna try my 0-60 time tomorrow without the silencers and then again when I get the tune up and see how much it improves. I'm pretty sure I can get it down to about 8.5 or so. (I hope)
