Bah, try having copious amounts of tire spin with anything more than 70% throttle in any gear less than fourth

uh oh.....

Yes, most likely the exhaust, header, dp and possibly your clutch are all working together to make it stop. I gurantee your car is faster, just cause you can't chirp doesnt mean you lsot pwoer, it just comes at a differnt rpm range. Im willing to bet you gained a few tenths with your upgrades

Well aren't you cool. I'd rather grip then waste rubber.

i know it may have shifted my power band up but my rpms are up at like 6 grand when i slam it into 2nd and its not like it drops to 3 once im in the gear. so i just dont get it. and the werid thing is it still chirped after i put my headers and dp on. so idk. clutch is fine. not even 3k and i dont slip or ride the clutch. so im gonna just stick to saying its the cold.

Will have to wait til spring.

Springs, shocks, drag bags and tires should get rid of most of the problem.

What do I get for showing proof? If I gain some benefit out of it, I'll gladly go take pictures of the car along with censored pictures of the registration and insurance cards.

Anywho, you're right. I did get raped on the balt. I paid too high for the sticker, and my APR was high as well.

for an on topic post to the op.. its cold up where you live right now and the tires isnt gonna chirp when they are cold unless you sit there and do a good burn out to warm them up. when tires get cold the rubber starts to get hard and doesnt grip as well anymore and wont make any sound like the chirp that you're talkin bout. it was in the 40's down here where i live this past friday night and all my car would do is spin without ever makin a sound, leavin a mark or startin to smoke any. i have bfg kdw 2's. they are z rated and have a softer compound than general tires and when it gets cold they tend to get harder than most other regular tires. thats one of the reasons that people up north get winter tires so they will have somethin that can grip.
