    Adding a blower to a h/c/i sd car

    Hello all! I have an '88 coupe with a fresh 306 (I told the builder I may add a blower later so it has 4 bolt mains, stud girdle, and an appropriate ring gap). It has the following mods: fenderwell K&N (with home-made tubing), 65mm throttle body, 67mm spacer, Explorer intake, Comp Cams XE264HR...

    Speed Density Modders Please Help!

    vristang - I have not hooked up a vacuum gauge yet, I am waiting to borrow one. daggar - It seems like the computer is startig to learn. It's happening less and less the more miles I put on it. I'll check the tps, and vacuum though.

    If it's not leaking, then it's okay that I changed the hose because vacuum is vacuum right?

    Speed Density Modders Please Help!

    DAGGAR, I put the 19's in and it seemed to help, but then it happened again. You mentioned before that I should check vacuum. What type of numbers should I be seeing? Also, I plan on ordering that wideband LM-1. You said you have some nice installation pics? And can you give me more info on...

    Speed Density Modders Please Help!

    Hey Daggar, this is probably a dumb question but since my cam has 4* of advance ground into it and I advanced the base timing to 13*, have I essentially advanced my timing 17*?

    Speed Density Modders Please Help!

    Well I threw the 19's in, set the timing to 13*, and the fuel pressure to 42 psi (off & plugged). Seemed alot better. When I got home I disconnected the battery for an hour and hooked it back up. Now I'm just gonna drive it and let it "learn". I'm still thinking of replacing the 19 year old...

    Speed Density Modders Please Help!

    Thanks for all the info guys (and your offer Daggar - I'll let you know when I get one). The 19lb injectors are back in, I'll fire it up tomorrow and see how she does.

    Speed Density Modders Please Help!

    Thank you so much for all the info. I'm going to try and swap the 19's tonight. I'm also going to verify the TPS voltage throughout it's range, and double check ignition timing. I'll let you guys know how I make out. PS, as soon as I can I'm buying a wideband (maybe an LM-1?).

    Speed Density Modders Please Help!

    I haven't taken a vacuum reading yet (I'd have to borrow a gauge). I know one thing though, my old combo of the original 140K shortblock with the stock cam, home ported E7's, and a Tmoss ported stock lower ran 13.49 @ 101.xx with 3.55 gears so I am expecting more out of what I have now...

    Speed Density Modders Please Help!

    I thought with the increased air flow of the H/C/I the 21lb'ers would be a neat way to get more fuel without bumping up the fp, but maybe it wasn't a good idea.

    Speed Density Modders Please Help!

    You think it's getting too much fuel? I still have my 19 lb'ers. Any tricks on swapping them in without removing the intake? If not, is the upper to lower intake gasket reusable?

    Speed Density Modders Please Help!

    I finally got my combo together and running. I know the computer needs time to relearn, but I don't want to damage anything in the process. I started off with the fuel pressure set to 44 psi (vacuum line off & plugged), and timing set at 13*. At around 3500 rpm under load / acceleration the car...

    Rear gear suggestions

    blackened88lx The car is not a daily driver (although it could be), it's just a car to have fun with. And now that my punk ass cousin bought a GTO, I imagine 'll be going to the track more often. EMW150 The overdrive in the T5-Z is 0.63 Would anyone consider running a 3.90 gear?

    Rear gear suggestions

    Looking for rear gear ratio suggestions to compliment my Thumper E7's (with GT-40 valves), Comp XE264R cam (1500-5500 rpms), and Explorer intake. The car weighs about 3300lbs w/driver and I will be using a T5-Z trans with the 2.95 1st gear (if that means anything). I currently have 3.55's but...

    Looking for motor mount torque specs

    OK, thanks. Believe it or not I actually found a torque spec for them years ago while thumbing through a Chilton book (the largest one I'd ever seen) while I was at Borders Books. But of course I didn't write it down, and the book was super ex$pen$ive.

    Looking for motor mount torque specs

    I will be replacing my shortblock soon, and I can't find the torque specs for engine mounts for an '87-'93 5.0L. I used the search function, Google, etc... and have only been able to find specs for 2.3L and 4.6L. I even tried calling Energy Suspension and they said to check the repair manual...
