    need some help badly

    It stopped spiking the night that it started screwing up and it was running like a champ. I killed it and pulled the charger and sat around for about an hour and went to leave and it barely ran, but no problems until then. As i stated earlier tvmango i compression checked all the cylinders and...

    need some help badly

    Ok i changed the oil out, looks fairly decent. I also compression checked 6 of the 8 cylinders (left the back 2 out) and they all ranged between 120 - 125 psi. Anything else i should try? Also how the hell do you run the computer self test?

    Broke my Baby today

    Just wondering how much you would want for the blower, i have a vortech with an A trim needing to be rebuilt. Also what kind of trim did you have in it, i put a 3 inch pulley on mine and was having all sorts of problems with the A trim, and now even with the blower off the car runs like crap.

    need some help badly

    Its not the supercharger at all, i have it off right now and its running like ****. Almost as if its not hitting on all cylinders or something. When you start it it revs really really high to around 2.5 or so, then it just dies unless you feather the gas. You can hear something whining but i...

    need some help badly

    I dont know what happened yesterday but the car seems like its in limp home mode or something. I had her running 12 lbs of boost till the belt started slipping so i pulled the charger and let it sit for around an hour. It ran fine beside the belt slipping, but when i went to start it after...

    more boost, more problems

    I went down 2 heat ranges in plugs, gapped them at .35 and they were doing wonderful. I used some belt dressing and had a friend hanging off of the tension which kept the belt from slipping for a while. But later during the day it started to slip again so i just pulled her till i can get a new...

    more boost, more problems

    As surmised i pulled the plugs and found that they were the stock heat range and were gapped at .45, so im betting money it will run a little better under boost with these new plugs gapped around .35 to .38. Not to mention the plug was reddish in color almost like rust, so it was prolly running...

    more boost, more problems

    Overboosting isnt my problem i'd just like to keep it from stuttering so badly. Another thought, with my 6 lb pulley i was hitting 9 lbs in all gears....so it wasnt just swapping the pulley that overboosted it. But anyways i will try the plugs out tomorrow and see what type of fmu diaphragm i...

    more boost, more problems

    I actually pulled the supercharger pulley yesterday, im not sure if its got the stock plugs or not i havent really had the car long enough to know how the previous owner took care of it. Im on my way home for christmas so ill prolly put the new plugs in and try it out back home. As for the belt...

    more boost, more problems

    I havent changed the FMU disk out yet, dont have a replacement...prolly gonna order one pretty soon. Also someone told my my 65mm TB may be to small or to go with plugs 2 ranges colder and gapped at .30. It got around 60 yesterday and the car was stuttering really bad, even worse than before...

    more boost, more problems

    Well i put a 12lb supercharger pulley on yesterday, replacing the 6 lb pulley. Holy crap is the car mean now, but i have some questions about a few things. It seems like there is some sort of limiter, 1st gear boost stops at 9, second stops at 12, third stops at around 16, and then there is...

    getting a cam need opinions

    Im looking into getting a cam with my current setup, i noticed someone is selling a b303 fairly cheap in the classifieds. Ive heard some good things and bad things regarding the b303 but nothing saying how well it works with boost. Would this be the wrong cam for my setup or should i find a cam...

    Air/fuel Ratio gauge

    Ok i installed a sunpro a/f gauge yesterday and its acting really weird, it only starts to read at around 2.5K RPM and if you even tap the gas it goes off the chart rich or if you let off at all its off the chart lean. I read something in a search that says you need to install a new wideband O2...

    air/fuel ratio meter

    what is the difference between a digital air/fuel meter and the analog ones that say lean and rich on them? how does the digi one read....does it actually show u how many points above norm u are or the percentage lean u are or what...and how does the analog one determine the byas for the nuetral...
