    How to clean fuel injectors?

    it does sound cheap...but it really depends on the shop and their overhead. the guy who did all the machine work on my motor has zero overhead because his shop is paid for and all his machines are paid for and he does it on his spare time. so maybe that was the deal with this place

    need help with stall converter

    how will i know if its too high of a stall? will the car just be slower than normal? i mean, i know it will work, but i dont want to have to pull this tranny to replace the converter any time soon since a c4 is pretty heavy and not a lot of fun when the car is on jack stands.
