    timing advanced or left alone

    i saw that too LOL as for the timing, basically what HISSIN50 said. Also, usuallly, people that run aluminum heads can run a few degrees more without detonation. usually aluminum headed peeps run about 16-18.

    Car is hesitating

    "There should be a minimum of 10K ohms between either pin C or D on the MAF and ground." - something Jrichker said on another post. what does he mean? between pin C and pin B? and between pin D and B? on the actual MAF right? or does he mean with the harness plugged in and to ground to, say...

    What tires grip ?

    i wouldnt get the drag radials unless you plan on heating up the tires everytime before you get on it. I had a few sets of the Nitto DR's on my car (they really dont last that long, about 10,000 mi) and without heating them up, my generic (Daytona) street tires hold on MUCH better. Actually...

    Car is hesitating

    another update to an unresolved issue: I changed the spark plugs, still runs like *****. checked resistance for coil to TFI, less than .4 ohms, so its fine. also the 22k ohm resistor running from the coil (orange/yellow) wire is fine as well. someone else posted last week they had intermitint...

    timing question

    sounds like you have a miss somewhere and not a timing issue. how did you set your timing? setting it at 11.5 with a timing light would be very difficult, i dont know how you can confidently say "11.5" if you did.

    longtube vs shorty dynos ??

    from a dyno runs book i have, it gains a little hp, not much though, but a good amount of lowend tq. between my longtubes and my old equal length headers, on my gtech comp., at 2900 it made close to 40 rwtq more, by 3200 it was making 20 rwtq more but from 3750+ basically made the same power...

    fuel cutting in third gear???

    check your spark plugs, might as well change them while your at it. I had a miss like 4 years ago that went away when i changed the spark plugs even though they looked good. actually, im gonna try that on my car tomorrow since i havent tried that yet since acquiring a miss recently.

    i know the vortech heads are basically LT1 heads but iron and are mounted on a Gen I block. and you also need to run different valve covers other than the regular Gen I stuff to clear the rocker arms on the heads as well.

    ls1 swap

    the Gen III motors are reversed cooled? I know the LT1 is but i thought that idea was scrapped with the LT1?

    ls1 swap

    i agree, they are not gods gift to motors. put some equally well flowing heads on just about any similar displacement motor and throw the same mods on it and the thing is going to make roughly the same HP for the most part. I dont see anything wrong with putting chevy stuff in a ford or vice...
