    need help ASAP- blew out front plug in upper intake

    went to the track this morning to try out the new V2 SQ trim. Made a couple passes that were not that good. Best pass was 12.1. Been having some issues with my foot not being able to push the pedal all the way to the floor cause it catches on the carpet. Well I trimmed the carpet back a bit. Low...

    They'll be enough. That's almost the exact same combo I'm running.

    Headers and 70mm TB help after Vortech install?

    I'm no expert on flow, but it seems to me that that you have a choke point right in the middle with the stock T/B, intake, heads and exhaust manifolds. I thought it was all about getting more air in and letting more air out. You have the flow capabilities on the outer edges (S/C, mass air...

    quick fuel pump question

    Can't really say for sure about the wiring. I just replaced my walbro 255 in tank on Friday. I had wondered how they "wired an electrical connector in the tank". I was able to use the previous connector but was really surprised to see a plastic covered connector splice in the wiring. :shrug:

    not sure why the torque didn't rise. Chris even said with the new crank pulley the torque shold go up. Hopefully I didn't screw my engine up to bad out in Kansas :( the torque peaked about 5200 RPM The heads are GT-40X.

    steering wheel alignment?

    has the steering gear ever been replaced? if it was, maybe it was not centered when they connected the steering shaft. Thats the only thing I can think of as to why you would run out of tie rod end. - straighten the wheels then turn the steering wheel to each side lock and count the rotations of...

    steering wheel alignment?

    I just did mine a couple days ago. Steering wheel was about a 1/8th turn to the right. Straighten the steering wheel. You have to adjust the wheels in the direction that the steering wheel was off (if it was off to the right then you have to adjust your wheels to the right, right wheel...

    A/C conversion ?

    I just put the kit in my car last Monday. Everything worked great! Only issue is that you have to cut/grind the little nub off the front OEM bracket at the top hole (would have been nice to know before hand), and have to turn around the rear bracket to get the supplied mount to fit. Compressor...

    89 GT problem

    well, I was gonna say change the fuel filter cause I just had a similar issue. Maybe you just have a ton of crap in the tank and need to flush or replace the tank.

    man... what is going on with the car?

    FYI... well I replaced the TFI module with a new one, took it out for a drive and had the same issues. Went back to the parts store and bought a new fuel filter, problem solved! :nice: Changed the filter in the Autozone parking lot :rolleyes:. So after spending about $100 in parts and $70 in gas...

    man... what is going on with the car?

    well car is still acting up. I took it out for a run today after letting it sit all day yesterday. Before driving regular it seemed fine. but today when I gave it a little extra gas it had no power. It was just at WOT. i don't think it's the clutch cause the RPMs don't jump up. It seems that...

    man... what is going on with the car?

    my problems started when I got into kansas! Seriously after the throttle body went I hadn't really been pushing it. A couple days after I put in the boostmaster pipe I noticed it was having issues when I dropped the hammer. First I had some issues with the lower bolt on the S/C tensioner and...

    man... what is going on with the car?

    well, I checked the timing and it is currently at 15*. When I left the auto craft shop the car was running vey strong, as it use too. I went to auto zone and had them check the TFI module cause the guy at the craft shop didn't know what setting to test on, tested good. On the way back the Car...

    sticky pedal?

    be careful, I had the same issue. I checked the throttle body and found that the lower screw holding the throttle plate to the shaft was loose. This caused the throttle plate to grind the throttle bore and I found tiny metal shavings. I tightened it once and it was good for a while. The second...
