    COOLANT ALL OVER THE PLACE

    Im pretty sure that it needs headgaskets but I was hoping that it could also be the intake gasket. I took the car out for a test drive after putting the whole topend on it and as soon as I went to punch the gas coolant shot out of the overflow all over the motor and then overheated. I started it...

    REBUILD TIME vortech s trim

    I recently installed an s trim and now think I may need a rebuild on the bottom end. Its a stock bottomend with thumper e7s and tmoss stock upper. I did away with the pcv system since it kept popping out and for now just have the nipple on the oil fill neck open to vent. At idle it looks like...

    I have been having so much trouble figuring out how to use the tweecer properly so I have been calling shops to see if they would do it and they all say to get rid of the tweecer and use a 4:1 fmu and msd btm.

    PROBLEM TUNING S TRIM

    Hey guys, I installed an s trim on my car and callled quite a few places to get the car tuned and they all say the same thing to me, they say I need the msd 6btm and the fmu. I was under the impression that if you have the right injectors the fmu was not needed. I also thought that if the car...

    I was at the track yesterday to tune my new combo and I warmed up my e/t streets dr's in the waterbox and went up to the line.

    TEMP SENSOR Q??

    I was wondering what controls the temp sensor. For the last week my temp guage has not budged from below 130. I know its been really really cold here but all the other vehicles I drive get up to operating temp within 5-10 min of driving. The guage was working and all of a sudden doesnt anymore...

    I am having some oil pressure problems on a motor I just put in my car. It was a used bottom end but the oil pressure was great and the only thing I did was add a windage tray to it. I am guessing that maybe when I installed the oilpickup tube back on it that I messed up some clearances or...
