Front MAS spoiler,AAR rear,fuel/brake lines,Chrome alt.,goodies,...   O.K. the questions.. 1:TTI headers?(most clearance?)2:X pipe?,3:What's the largest wheel/tire combo poss. w/o mods.?  I have a pro touring vision.(big,black,10 spoke Budniks-18's,20's?,4:Where can I get GOOD doorhandles?,5:What brake kits are best for bigger wheels?,6: 3:91's are short-any thoughts to ratios?

    O.K. the questions..
    1:TTI headers?(most clearance?) Not sure about the most clearance but definitely the best fit for your application.
    2:X pipe? Hell yeah!  Why not!  Tests prove that you get better flow from the X pipe!
    3:What's the largest wheel/tire combo poss. w/o mods.?  I have a pro touring vision.(big,black,10 spoke Budniks-18's,20's?,  Check this - - > http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=19470.0
    4:Where can I get GOOD doorhandles? Alot of places sell door handles . . try the Paddock for starters! http://www.paddockparts.com/Paddock/assets/html/homepage.asp?URLCheck=1
    5:What brake kits are best for bigger wheels? Not sure about this one! 
    6: 3:91's are short-any thoughts to ratios?  I like 3.23 for highway use and 3.55 for around town and local driving!
    And the biggest question of all...I live in CO.  Looking for storage!!  I have a garage here in Michigan your car would look really good in!  Sorry nothing in your state that I know of


    That's enough for now,but I have many more.  Thank you all... 


    Welcome to cc.com!  Great place here!   Love your car . . . looks awesome!!  Sounds like you are running a great combo and having alot of fun!  Hope you enjoy the site!

    To fill in some gaps for you, I'd suggest using Wilwood disc brakes to help in the stopping department.  I'd go drilled and slotted to help dissipate heat better and they give for that aggressive, racing look. :2thumbs:  I'd suggest 3.55's as well.  They're a nice trade-off between highway driving and launching harder from a stop. :2thumbs:

    yeah,everybody says TTI's.3:55's always sound good.Willwood's eh..? Funny that's my 1st choice. Solo/roadrace torsion bars,I've looked into bolt in front coils w/rack steering. Anyone? The X pipes are a go.Flowmasters.Electric fans,Mayby billet distributer? I'm always looking for stuff.I'll try to get some updated pics tomarrow if the weather holds.   I live in N. Boulder.I have a sweet race track right outside,about a 6 mile loop.........all curves! There's lot's of really curvy roads. This car is suprizingly agile,few cars keep up.With new brakes,..we'll see.. I chewed up an audi just the other day!   I race downhill mnt. bikes.  Sponsored. 2006 MSC Series Champion.  I like speed. Got busted by a ranger who races CECA a 5 race road course in CO. Says Let's GO!!   He drives a 68 stang,says a 'cuda keeps beatn him!!   My life is so sick....
