    Hop-Ups FAQ

    Some people frequently post with is this good or is that good? Well I say lets clean up the clutter and put it all here. Got a question on whats good for the npede drop it in here, I'll get you an answer as fast as I read the message.


    QUESTION: Is a boost bottle really worth it?

    Answer: No, they may do some difference but I have been told you must drill into your engine to install them, so they would require a steady hand. And they aren't known to make much difference when installed correctly, if I were to install this in my truck(which I wouldn't) It would be strictly for intimidation, I wouldn't count on recognizable performance from this.

    QUESTION: Whats the best pipe?

    Answer: Well what are looking for from your pipe? Low end?Top end? If you want low end then a MIP 360 stinger is your best bet. Top end would depend on your header and pipe combonation. An MIP side header with an AE pipe or a Fantom Works off road pipe. (<--my personal favorite) Those 2 are probably 2 of the best pipes for your truck, other pipes are also good, like the paris ringed pipe.

    QUESTION: How do I make my truck stronger?

    ANSWER: Well the best way is to get aluminum parts. They average between 15-30 dollars. They also come anodized so your truck looks very cool. The big guys around here have anodized aluminum, if you wanna see some neat trucks look for MIKE505 and ask for pics, or check the gallery here. The best aluminum parts are sold from RD RACING PRODUCTS And if you want aluminum wheels check out RC PARTS.

    This information will be updated frequntly, fell free to pm me with questions to put up, or just post them in here and I will get back to it a.s.a.p.

    A faq must be objective. This is not a faq, this is a set of opinions.
    Hop ups are a personal thing, not a global thing.
    By caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, By the beans of Java
    do thoughts acquire speed, hands acquire shaking, the shaking
    becomes a warning, By caffeine alone do I set my mind in motion.
