Perfomance ?s

[Heavy Chevy]

Do high performance hoses really help? How much shorter is ur shift with a short thow shifter? Whats the best oil to run in the tc?

[navylife59]

Performance Hoses- Good for show and that is it.
Short Shifters- Depending on brand, but these don't shorten much at all; mostly the geometry.
Oil Type- Full synthetic is the best. Take your pick. I use Royal Purple and Q- Power.

^^^^what he said exactly

[Heavy Chevy]

I use full synthetic castrol, i was told it works best in newer cars. Ok, so a short throw is really a waist of money? Thats good to know cuz i wuz just about to order a megan short throw. I kinda figured that much about the hoses. Thanks for the info.

[Butters]

in my opinion i like the short throw but i drag race at the track and it knocked a mil sec off my time. so depends.

a short throw shifter makes your shift a little faster, but honestly, if youre not racing it, you dont need it. always good to have at the track though.

[Heavy Chevy]

Naw not racing... just want a short shifter look. so would it b a good idea to cut and rethread it. Rather than buy a shifter

[KTeevan]

i wouldnt recommend it. best bet is to just leave it stock. unless for some reason you break it. i used to have a ford focus, and i broke the shifter hosuing cuz it was cheap, so if you were to break your shifter, just upgrade it then. otherwise its really a waste of money if youre not racing it.

no more castrol or mobil 1 for me
STRICKLY AMS OIL
there was this ad i read where an ams oil filter was used on a motorcycle
in the end .. the oil came out cleaner than the way it went in
crazy huh ?? .. i kno

[Heavy Chevy]

Really Is that fully syn. I heard some good things bout that oil

[ac3 b00gi3]

yup 100% FULL synthetic .. really good bro
i just chaged my tranny oil and used ams oil
(75-90) shifts like butter

[navylife59]

AMS Oil is old school. They were the original 100% synthetic. Not sure if they have updated their formula over the years. Much like the Slick 50 originators, their product my be behind the times. Do more research and careful of the hype. As far as I know, AMS Oil has not received any bad marks.

Thanks for the info. What do u think about oil filters. My service manager at my job says wix filters are the best that he knows of. And what works betta turbos or supercharges Just wanted to know cuz my ol lady wants to buy me sumthing for my car for christmas

[ac3 b00gi3]

dunno much about oil filters .. still suck on my ams oil lol
Turbos are more power but can cause problems
superchargers are good .. power but NOT as much power as a turbo
but VERY RELIABLE
it basically comes down to wat your looking for

[Heavy Chevy]

Just looking for a lil more go.. Just enough to beat my boys cobolt. And what problems come with the turbo. Sorry if im asking alot of questions this is my first new car. Im use to working on my s-10 and my 59 chevy pickup.

[bwood87]

I would do a few bolt on things first like lightweight pulleys, better exhaust, then go for the S/C.

[ac3 b00gi3]

yea .. that was my plan in the begining .. but i gave in to the turbo lol
