    Serpentine Belt Help

    My smog pump locked up and ended up killing my belt. I got a 84.5'' belt so I can bypass the pump, but I cant get it on? How do I adjust the tensioner so I can get it over all the pulleys? Anyone have a diagram on how to best setup the belt? Its a stock 91 5.0.

    Cammed bolt on Fox vs Cammed LT1 who wins?

    Ok me and my friend now both have cammed 5 speed coupes with simaler mods (e-cam, subframes, cai, 3.73's, his has headers, both with catless exhuast) and this toolbag with a 6 speed LT1 camaro with supposedly a cam thinks he will kill both of us. How well do LT1's respond to mods like that?

    Safe rpm to shift at?

    I just put an E303 in my car and it now pulls pretty strong to ~6500 rpm. Is that to high for a stock bottom end 5.0? My car, for some reason or another, has no rev limiter so I dont really know how high is too high. Advice appreciated.

    14.7 @ 95 Good/bad?

    I ran my car at the track last week and only got one run in due to lightning. I got a average launch (bogged slightly) shifted a little early out of 1st and 2nd and ran a 14.7 at 95. My car has a cai (kind of not great) gears (PO said 3.73's, but i'm not for sure, feels steeper maybe 4.10's)...

    Besides being annoying, what does the CEL do?

    My check engine light comes on periodically (i think its the 02 sensors maybe?) and whenever it comes on, there seems to be a slight decrease in performance. I thought I remember reading somewhere that whenever its illuminated, the car is in limp mode, is that right? Seems like every time i...

    Small electical question

    Alright all my wheel buttons (horn and cruise buttons) all stopped working suddenly and I figured a wire got disconnected. I look under the dash, and this is what was dangling down: I cant find where it hooks into though? I assume its the steering wheel controls.

    Whos running cutouts?

    I just got a local muffler shop to do me a set of cutouts, and I have to say, I love them. You have the flexibility to have it reasonably quiet (flows with dumps) or open-header loud. Its the best of both worlds, and amazingly, they do not leak at all. I wish I had electrics, but for now, I...

    Can I take a bolt-on 96 cobra?

    My friend has a 96 cobra with a few bolt ons, nothing special. His best run at the track is like 14.1, but another drive got a 13.8 out of it. My car has: e303 cam, 3.73's, subframes, hurst shifter, alumium driveshaft, mac cai, offroad h pipe, and some flows. Think I can run better than 14.0...
