    Alternator Suggestions

    yeah, but im not sure on the quality of it. its probably good, but PA performance sells the kit for like the same price or so and always hear good things from them.

    Equal length?

    on a dyno i posted a while back on equal length vs shorties, the shorties made more lowend up to about 2800 and made a little more topend from 5000+. only about 2 hp more in both the low end and topend. in the midrange it actually fell back about 2-3 hp so on average it made the same.

    Alternator Suggestions

    alterstart makes some great alternators. 3G 160 AMP alt for 129.99. you will need to upgrade the wiring, which i got through PA performance. there isnt much to installing at all. i run underdrives and with my lights on, electric fan and stereo there is no dimming, but thats also with an ASP...

    Clearance problems with 1.7's rockers?

    with the 1.7's youll be at .529. I dont know about clearance tho, someone else must have run this set up before. everyone will say tho that you should double check with clay anyways to make sure the valve wont hit the piston since everycar can be different, especially with tolerance stacking.

    missing hard around 2k please help no ideas on the cause.

    are you sure your plug wires arent grounding? when i had those cheap ass "lifetime" spark plug wires, with the lights off outside in the dark, you could see the spark jumping to anything metal really, like A/C bracket, intake manifold, valve cover, you name it. and this was with ALL the wires...

    What Intake Manifold?!?!

    exactly what i was gonna post. the test motor they used was a cobra motor (GT-40 heads) but with the stock HO intake manifold. was really biased IMO. they shoulda done a shootout, but then again that was STILL just a test intake not the real deal quite yet. they should do a shootout, with stock...

    tps sensor

    ive read that the computer only needs to read about 2.7v higher than the idle voltage to consider it WOT, so WOT would be about 3.7v or so, depending where it idles at.

    Whats better in a 5 speed: 3.73 or 4.10

    how high your lookin to spin the motor should have an influence on what gear you should go with. I always got way worse milage lugging around in a higher gear in town vs. just letting it rev at about 2500ish.
