Actually, the 0-60 time for my car is 6.1 seconds and the time for his maxima is 5.9. When I said I wanted to squeak the tires, I didnt mean in every gear. Just 1st, 2nd and maybe third. I have also been trying to research the 3.5, 3.7, and 3.9 gears to figure out what all they do.

trust me on this buddy, from one fellow auto G to another
you will not be able to chirp your tires through gears
the only time you can chirp is from a dig(with auto)
maybe 1st gear you can chirp(when transitioning to 2nd gear) but you gotta hit it dead on

Have to agree with the "wrong car" comment.

Sounds like you want to make a pretty bad-*** car with the chirping 3rd and all that. To even start thinking about that, you would need to be in a 6MT.

Don't get me wrong, you can make the 5AT fast, but due to the nature of the tranny and its gearing, it ain't going to chirp third or burnout through the entire intersection.

your best best is to search, typically people that know their stuff don't waste time responding so you end up with a bunch of people with a bunch of ideas.

-All i gotta say is spacer the best bang for the buck (either Motordyne or powerlab).
-exhaust for noise and show, i think you get more gains from hiflow cats/test pipes
-headers is probably the worst bang for buck unless you're going full out N/A and get the car tuned.
-Buddy club condensor, haven't heard much, but just get the grounding kit from one of the vendor (search).


search search search..the info is out there

If you want to chirp gears you want a VB upgrade. I can chirp into 3rd. I don't see the whole point of wanting this though?

Really I only noticed a very slight power gain, but I installed my JL system the same day which is like having a 350lb guy in my trunk. i think it cancelled each other out. But the spacer helps out other mods you put on your car.

The VB upgrade is more like $800 not $5K.
