Default A Few Questions

1. Do i need to run 94 octane in my 97 GT, all i have is a catback and CAI or would 87 reduce engine performance?

2. I want to degrease my whole engine and compartment, is there anything under there i should not get wet? I've done other cars with no problem but i want to make sure.

3. I got used Steeda u/d pulleys off ebay for $60, can these things be worn out to the point where i wouldnt want them?

4. Does anybody have the 99 Cobra rims on there cars or know anybody who has them, i was wondering if they will bolt right on with no problems?

Sorry to throw so much out there at once......thanx for any help.

About the gasoline, no, dont waste your money on 94, your car will run fine on 87.

Id cover the alternator and distributor related stuff, then I think you are good to go. And make sure the engine is cool.

Make sure to get a new crank pulley from Steeda with the used pulleys. I think there is a special installation bolt or something.

Yes, the wheels should fit no problem. Someone on another site just posted pics and they looked great.

Good luck,
Matt

1- use 876 like he saud 93 does nothing for you.
2-cover the air filter and distributor if you want in reality you dont really need to cause you shouldnt be soaking the engine that badly.
3-all you need is the installation bolt which you might get a person on the boards to lend to you or give you.
4- they bolt right up like mentioned.
