    Change C&L to PRO-M. Will I need new tune?

    Guys, I'm thinking of swapping out my C&L mass air meter for a Pro-M tuned for 24lb. I've got a custom tune on the car. Will I need to get it re-dyno'd, or should it be a direct swap. Also should I notice any difference with the Pro-M. I've heard maybe a little better idle, and a better...

    Running at 185* with 160 thermostat?

    Need a little help guys. It's about 100* here today in MD, and I just installed a 160 Mr. Gasket thermostat. I had a 180 in, and it ran around 180-185 all day so I thought I'd try a 160. I like things to run a little cooler, but even with the 160 in it the temp still goes to 180-185. When...

    Question about vac leak.

    This may be a dumb question, and if so my appologies. The pcv valve grommet on the back of the intake is pretty worn, and the valve fits in it loosely. Could this be a possible vacuum leak? I ordered a new one yesterday. Just wondering if anyone found this to be the case in the past...

    Question about adding 2nd PCV. Please help.

    I've posted a couple threads about my son and I adding a second PCV to the system. Some how the PCV valves are sucking up oil, because when I start it up it smokes a lot out of the tailpipes. We installed a home made baffle under the PCV valve we just added to the valve cover (I wish I had...

    Where to get the thick valve cover gaskets.

    Does anyone know where to get the thick valve cover gaskets. I've checked Jegs, Summit, and 50Resto. I want to put in a second PCV on the drivers side valve cover, and just want to make sure the PCV does hit the roller rockers. Thanks to anyone that can help. Joe

    Quick question about the Trick Flow intake.

    On the drivers side of the intake there is a T-fitting with the hose from the PCV, and a big "J" looking hose that goes to the under side of the intake. My "J" looking hose has some cracks in it. Can I just remove the hose and plug the ports, or do I need to have that hose on there? Thanks...

    Tough to start when hot.

    I've been searching the threads about this to solve my issue, but thought I'd throw it out there again. Sorry for the repetition. The car starts up quick first try when it's all cooled down (first start of the day), but if I shut it off after it's up to temperature 180* it will crank for 10-15...

    Which trans fluid to use in my 5-speed?

    I bought a Super HD T-5 from Summit last summer which says Tremec on the body of it, and there was a tag on it that said "this transmission must be filled with ATF". I filled it with ATF synthetic Castrol. It seems to be ok, and shifts good though a little noisy at times. The reason I'm...

    Header gasket question

    What kind of header gaskets are you guys using? My wife and I went for a ride this morning, and we heard a sound like something flapping in the air i.e. an exhaust leak. I tightened the H-pipe bolts, and the header which bolts which on the drivers side were very loose. I thought that would do...
