    Any pics of gaugeplate.com gauge cages?

    Any body else? I am thinking of getting the gaugeplates unit to mount an oil press, water temp, and tranny temp. I was wondering how it compared to the Autometer setup.

    Help with a Body Shop in the Kitsap County Area

    Wiley's does good work, they are in the port orchard area. Integrity in Port Orchard is cheaper if insurance isn't involved.

    Gear Install - prices and shops

    Exactly what he said. Randy's Ring and Pinion probably installs more gears in a week than most shops do in a couple of months. They are one of the largest dealers in the nation. Please don't drive all the way to Oregon, if it makes you feel better, you can just give me the leftover money it...

    Disappointment at the dyno: 227 rwhp with afr165's and custom cam

    I'd say you are down about 50 hp as well. I agree with a lot of points that have been made. It looks like you definately have a valvetrain problem. There is no way anyone can tell you that the stock p-rods will work for your car unless they had access to your longblock assembly. Yeah, yeah...

    Got me some L7's

    HAHA, I thought I was the only one who knew who Haystack was. I have one L710 and a 600.1 Xtant in my s-10, and it is plenty loud. Sure 2 would be louder, but really, what's the use, I don't do SPL competiton or anything. BTW, I have a W3 in my Stang, and I am happy with it.

    I used the Crane 36623-16, they are 6.375". But I had to use varying amounts of shims on each rocker. I ended up having to buy 2 sets of shims.

    Crane 2031 problems- pushrod length, lifters, adjusting. please help!!!!

    Some of this wording is confusing me. The original poster first says the p-rods are to short on the exh. Then he says "after all the rockers were installed i noticed that i can push the plunger down in the lifter a little on half the rockers and the others are solid. this is with the valves...

    Crane 2031 problems- pushrod length, lifters, adjusting. please help!!!!

    Were the heads milled? 2031 is a small base circle cam, so with stock heads, you would NORMALLY need longer pushrods. An adjustable pushrod would be helpful in this scenario.

    clearing cel codes

    I can't seem to clear my KAM codes. I tried pulling the jumper during the test(twice), turning the key off during the test, and pulling the batt cable during the test. Nothing has worked. I cleared the CM codes, but can't get the KAM codes to go away. What am I missing here?
