    96 GT Starting/Running issues

    If the fuel presure did not increase over 38 PSI once the motor was running that's not good. 38 PSI is low. I obviously can't say for sure whether or not your fuel pressure is directly related to a power or ground problem, but you likely have a problem with the fuel pump regardless. Do you...

    nitrous questions

    Yes, it will make a difference. GM TPI cars have slightly different fuel pressure WOT than these 2 valve mod motors which would affect the fuel jet size, and the GM TPI motor will respond to that N20 jet much differently than our smaller 281" motors. For example I am running a 57 N20 jet and...

    96 GT Starting/Running issues

    The wire power302 is talking about is the injector harness ground lead. It attaches to a threaded ground stud right on top of the EGR valve. I suspect though, that this is not the problem that is causing your battery to drain so quickly reevesracing. It sounds like a fuel pump...

    nitrous questions

    Yes, that nozzle will work. It's 90°. Do the UPR plates go between the plenum and intake manifold? Does it already have 1/8" NPT taps/threads?

    Tach install question

    There are 4 wires that come off the tach adaptor. You need to put the black to ground. Make sure it is a good ground. The grey wire goes to the green wire on the tach. The red/green and red wires go to the coil driver wire that runs through the main powertrain harness. This harness is the big...

    Fuel rail pressure sensor...?

    What's the exact code? Your VREF voltage should be between 4.0V and 6.0V.

    Need a little HELP with Timing

    If you cannot hand turn the crank at least 2 revolutions without hitting something, you are probably having PTV contact. Decent writeup. I don't have time to type everything: PI Cam Swap

    cam overlap and lope/rough idle

    As long as you are using advertised duration, that formula is correct. And that sounds about right for the amount of overlap on a cam with 292 advertised duration on the intake. And yes that cam will lope fairly hard. But even some of the biggest cams can be tuned to idle very well, it just...

    Need a little HELP with Timing

    Is this the stock shortblock? What are the specs on the cams? Need some more info, then I can help.

    nitrous questions

    NOS (Holley) nitrous jets are one of the few N20 jets out there that are actually rated at the crank. So a .47 N20 NOS brand jet will is actually rated at about 85 RWHP. However, wet kits usually make more power than the jet is rated at, so don't be surprised if you actually make more than 100...

    200mph safety questions

    Looks good Steve. Bonneville is a really fun place, been there a few times. Hey BTW, are you guys gonna make it over to the NMRA Ford Nationals at Bradenton Motorsports Park the weekend of March 8-11th? I'll probably bring my car and run it in between events.

    Installing a pi Intake

    Still waiting for anybody with any proof to dis-prove that the adaptors can make more power.....anybody?? Nah, didn't think so.

    Coolant in spark plug holes

    Are you talking about the PI adapter kit? It's not really expensive at all if you consider the price of each of the individual parts that you get. Just a suggestion, but why not create a signature describing your car so that in the future there is no confusion as to what type of car you are...

    Am I running hot?

    LOL, guess I ought to change that on my website huh? :D But I do still have some employees doing some consulting for me in the San Antonio area. I sure do miss my old shop in New Braunfels though. I leased a small one here for now just for mostly personal use...maybe one day I'll open back up to...

    To the Tech Gods

    There are a lot of high revving modulars out there, but they have done work to the valvetrain. There is nothing inherantly characteristic about a modular motor that doesn't allow it to rev high, it's just like any other motor, you really need to upgrade the valvetrain to make it more stable and...

    Installing a pi Intake

    When you use the adaptor kits supplied by people like Livernois, not only are the adaptor plates tapered to go from the PI manifold to the non-PI head, but the PI manfold is machined as well to properly align to the adaptor plates. On our testing and some other shops including Livernois that...

    Am I running hot?

    Yeah, I just moved here to Clearwater about 6 months ago and one of the first things I noticed was the water. I went to a local RV dealership over here and bought a garden hose in-line filter. I use it to wash my cars and trucks, and I also use it to add water to coolant systems. It works really...

    Serpentine Belt after 27k?

    I agree the belts should last at least 50k miles. There was a TSB on the 01-02 GT's that called for a replacement tensioner and/or water pump pulley. On some vehicles equipped with the 4.6L engine, the Front End Accessory Drive (FEAD) belt may hydroplane on the Water Pump pulley when the...

    Engine Ping

    These 2 valves are very sensitive to spark knock (detonation). Normally detonation is relatively quiet, but if you can audibly hear detonation, that is not a good thing. I wouldn't go WOT anymore until you find the cause of this "ping". Given that, I have seen the addition of CAI's cause...
