    2v to 4v swap, is it emissions legal?

    Kind of helps. The reason I ask is because if I remember correctly, in CA you could not legally have an engine in the car that was a) older than the car. For example you could not have a 1970 LS6 in a 1980 Camaro legaly (sorry to use the "C" word here) and b) you could not have an engine in the...

    2v to 4v swap, is it emissions legal?

    Hi again, I know I ask a lot of emissions questions (probably left over paranoia from living in CA) any way, is this swap legal (2v to 4v), or will I go through hell trying to get this combo smoged. When I was in AZ I asked DMV there this same question, but never got a response. If any one...

    catless exhaust

    I am going to be adding cats to my setup and was wondering if any body has some recomondations for brand, and/or has a part number. I looked at the stuff on the magnaflow site but am unsure of which part# to get. Exhaust setup is in my sig. but in case you dont look down there I have a MAC...

    Mach 1 w/ 4.10's

    I dont have a MACH, but I would say that your only problem with 4:10s and forced induction would be traction. The MACH motor revs pretty high, something like 6800 in the 5 speed so I would think you would go through the traps in 4th with the above setup, but I could be wrong. If Im right I would...

    HI Guys! New Here!

    I used to live in Tucson and I dont remember any loud white stangs, maybe I couldnt hear you over my car ;) Any way, I am glad to be out of that hell hole (In more ways than one, I used to be an artist at the sweat shop known as LFI or Lisa Frank Inc.) God, that place sucked donkey spheroids.

    OCTANE QUESTION

    Tis true, the thing about higher ambient tempperatures causing detonation. This is one of the reasons a modern car can run 10:1 compression ration on 87 octane gas. Back in the sixties all the cars had comp ratios of at least 10:1, but they needed 102-104 octane fuel; the reason: almost all of...

    OCTANE QUESTION

    As far as I know all fuel grades have detergents in them that are designed to keep injectors and valves clean. I could be wrong though. :shrug:

    K&N FIPK opinions

    I like my FIPK. It has something that I dont believe the other kits have, but I could be wrong. The FIPK as part of the assembly includes a velocity stack type thing. It fits on the tube where the filter bolts on. It is sort of like a funnel that smooths and increases the velocity of the air...

    OCTANE QUESTION

    I will second the lower power thing. I have been running 91 and 93 in my car on and off since I installed a timing adjuster, but since I only set the timing to 13* I have found that the car runs a lot better on 89 octane than on the higher stuff. It all depends on ignition timing (and of course...

    Catted X/H Pipe for NY Emissions test?

    Yeah, my car is black. You probably saw me. I work in Nanuet so my commute is basically up and down 59. Do you have chrome bullits on your stang? I saw a silver stang with chrome bullits at the Palisades center, I also saw one with charcoal or anthricite Bullits. I will definately get in touch...

    Catted X/H Pipe for NY Emissions test?

    I know I will fail without cats, that is why I am asking if a a catted x/h pipe will do the trick(But not the factory pipe). I CA you will fail even if you have an aftermarket pipe with cats. In CA you must have the OEM pipe on the car. I was just wondering if an aftermarket pipe with cats is...

    Launch with TractionControl on or off?

    All I know is that when traction control kicks in it basically shuts the engine off (not really, but it shure feels like it) and its really hard to go fast with the engine off.

    Problems after C&L Plenum and Accufab 75mm T/B install... NEED HELP!!!

    Its most likely the MAF. Hook your stock one back up. I had a similar problem with my car when I got a Pro-M MAF. I put the stock one back on and havent had any problems since.

    Simple question for you GT owners :D

    I have 4:10s in my car and shift around 3000rpm most of the time. With the 4:10s your barely moving at 2000rpm (never looked, but probably around 10mph?) I shift at 3000 from first to second and from second to third. I shift around 2500 from third to fourth. I truly feel that 4000rpm with...

    2001 GT vs. 2004 nissan 350z

    In a drag race you should be able to beat him, but from a 100mph roll it might be a different story. I was driving from AZ to CA and came upon one of these cars. Its all open desert highway out there, so driving fast is not a problem. I look in my rearview mirror and I see this guy coming up on...
