    problem with compression but now fixed; have questions now

    Yes it is a roller setup. I am beginning to think it is a lifter. I dont know what else it could be.

    problem with compression but now fixed; have questions now

    Yeah I loosened both valves and had my 150 psi. Its gotta be either the lifter or the valves being a hair longer. I have no clue. All I know is that if I shim the rocker up just a hair then it runs with 150 psi. Maybe I need to just invest in adjustable rockers.

    problem with compression but now fixed; have questions now

    Car has been running like crap since engine was put together this spring. Today I bought a compression gauge. I was getting 150 across all cylinders but one. #8 cylinder had 0. Removed valve cover and hooked up an air hose and could hear air hissing out of lower intake. I go to loosen both...

    dissapointing night at the track

    I found a guy in the tweecer forum that lives about an hour from me. He is gonna take a look at my tune and help me out. Something is obviously wrong but with my luck its probably the engine taking a crap on me.

    compression test with high lift cam

    The reason I ask is because I am getting around 80 psi. I am using my dads gauge and he told me that at one point he had to replace the end with a different spring and pintle. So we are thinking that it may be a stiffer spring causing the lower numbers.

    compression test with high lift cam

    Would a compression test be effected due to a high lift cam? I am wondering about the overlap and if this may cause false readings. Or am I wrong all together?

    dissapointing night at the track

    Yes I know something is wrong. When this car was stock it ran a 15.0 @ 93 mph. It ran a 13.5@105 last year. I need to see whats up with the A/F. I do have a wideband and it seems to read around 14 but does jump a round a little.

    dissapointing night at the track

    I think I will have pay the $$ to get a dyno tune. I was hooking good as far as I know. I just wasnt making power. I dont know what else to do.

    dissapointing night at the track

    Went to the track last night and was extremely disappointed. My best time was a 14.5@99mph. How pathetic. I was even hooking up well too. I obviously dont know what I am doing with this tuner because I cant get it to run any better then this. Reaction .5269 60 ft 2.3480 330 ft 6.2472...

    Why does my car weigh so much?

    Hey thats pretty cool.. small world aint it? Later that night my check engine light came on and just pulled codes. Said I had 136 which is lean o2. I know my fuel pump has been making some racket lately. I hope this pump isnt going bad on me. Its a 255 and I installed it 2 years ago.

    Why does my car weigh so much?

    I have Cobra 17x9 rims. He had stock 5 star rims. From what he told me, he said he hadnt removed anything for weight. I find it hard to believe that my GT would even weigh that much. I guess with driver that would be close to what I assumed. Yes its a TKO and he had a t-5. I know the TKO...

    Why does my car weigh so much?

    I went to the track Friday night and at the end of the drag strip they have a scale. There was a 94 GT vert with a 270lb driver and cast iron heads weighing in at 3810 or so. My 94 coupe with a 195lb driver and aluminum heads weighed in at 3740. I dont get it?? The verts are heavier plus he...

    buying intake hae questions on stuff???

    Sounds like it will rip. You may need a tuner. I know I needed one. I purchased a tweecer but am still learning how to use it.

    It runs good but needs a tune badly. What setup are you going?

    what would you do next?94 gt

    I would leave fuel pressure alone but thats just me. Maybe bump timing up a few degrees. Definitely do gears. I would go at least a 3.73

    buying intake hae questions on stuff???

    94-95 does not use an egr plate. 94-95 egr hangs off the back of elbow. As for the elbow, I used an edelbrock elbow for my edelbrock intake. I believe they are all the same. The purpose of the elbow is to join the intake to throttle. 86-93 and 94-95 uses the same size opening at face of...

    Will Fox Longtubes Fit a 94-95?

    My 94 342 is wearing a set of Mac Longtubes from a fox. The reason I went fox is because I have no egr and I got them for $70. If I had to do it over again I probably would have spent the extra $300+ and bought BBK 94-95 headers. :D I had to jack the engine up a few inches and feed the...

    LOW5.0 i need some help with my paint (others may chime in too)

    I have laser on my 94. I would like to get it repainted. I am a little scared to know what it will run me. Maybe I will do it myself? :shrug:
