    Help me analyze these dyno numbers....

    Thanks for the help. After I installed the pump I set it back to stock which I believe is 39. I'll go up a little at a time and see what happens.

    Help me analyze these dyno numbers....

    If it matters these runs were made on a portable dyno. Both runs were made with all the mods in my sig EXCEPT the pulleys, and fuel pump which I just installed. Does anyone know why the A/F ratio would lean out with the higher fuel pressure? I'm wondering if the old stock pump couldn't keep up...

    Do I need an alignment with a strut change?

    Thanks. I put new KYB's on about 2 years ago and got the nut off then so it should come off pretty easy (I hope).

    Do I need an alignment with a strut change?

    Thanks. Yeah just changing the struts and shocks no caster/camber plates. Looking at it, I don't see how there is any "adjustment" in the strut itself. There's one large nut at the top, and two bolts/nuts in the spindle.

    Do I need an alignment with a strut change?

    I'm getting the Lakewood 70/30 drag struts and 50/50 rear shocks. When I change the struts do I need an alignment or not. I'm getting different opinions from people. Also the Chilton manual says to "check the alignment" and the Haynes manual does not mention an alignment at all. Any thoughts???

    Is it true?

    I emailed the tech department at Lakewood and asked if they knew anything about factory stuff being 70/30 and 50/50. Here is their response: "The stock struts are more of a 60/40 and the rears are pretty close to a 50/50. It will vary depending on the make of the car. But we are not aware of...

    Is it true?

    I saw a thread on the corral that said factory struts are 70/30 and factory rear shocks are 50/50, and not to waste the money on the Lakewood versions because we already have them. The discussion continued but neither side could "prove" their case. Anyone here know the truth? Also, would that...

    Lakewood 70/30 and 50/50 with stock springs?

    Would it be beneficial to add Lakewood 70/30 struts and 50/50 shocks to a car with stock springs? The car is street driven with trips to the track a couple times a year.

    Trunk Area Push Pins

    Does anyone know where I can get the "push pin" type fasteners for the trunk area of an '88 5.0 LX Coupe. My car is missing all of them. Part numbers would be greatly appreciated. I also need the push pins for the inner fenders if anyone can help with those too.

    Any gains to be had by switching to an X-pipe?

    I currently have an offroad h-pipe on my car, but I was wondering if I would see any gains by switching to an offroad x-pipe (the UPR one inparticular). Has anyone done this and seen an improvement?

    Anybody try this yet?

    I was wondering if this would work on our quarter glass to bring it back to life? Either the auto kit, or the motorcycle kit which I believe includes using sandpaper as part of the prep. http://www.petcar.net/ http://www.pcracingusa.com/plasticrenew.php

    Anyone replace their metal fuel lines yet?

    Juiced, were they difficult to get out? I was afraid I would ruin them getting them out (that's why I figured I would replace them with the rubber kit) but if it wasn't that bad getting them out maybe I'll try. What did you have to do to get them out?

    Anyone replace their metal fuel lines yet?

    A while back I melted one of the rubber fuel lines on my tailpipe and while I was under there I noticed that my metal fuel lines were pretty rusted. Is it difficult to replace the metal ones with new metal ones? I found this kit to replace the entire system but wasn't sure about replacing the...

    Is this possible?

    I just found a melted rubber fuel line by my passenger side tailpipe and the dealer wants $105 for both rubber lines (main & return). After doing some research I saw that Aeroquip and Cartech make adapters to run braided lines to the stock rails but only from where it comes out under the hood...

    SFI Balancers

    I am looking into replacing my stock 140K mile harmonic balancer and was wondering about SFI rated balancers. If I have no plans of revving the motor past 6000 rpms, would I even benefit from an SFI approved balancer? I've read a few posts stating SFI balancers work best above 6500 rpms...

    Need Harmonic Balancer Help and Part#

    I'm looking into replacing my stock 140K mile harmonic balancer and popular opinion seems to be split between the Powerbond/Pioneer unit and the Romac. I was able to find part #'s for the Powerbond/Pioneer units - 872030 (SFI) and DA3021 (non-SFI), but does anyone know the part number for the...
