    the afr is too rich and you shouldnt run less then 40psi of fuel pressure. if your afr is rich at 40psi then you need a chip to take fuel out at higher rpms

    wow i had no idea such a thing existed. thanks a lot! do you recomend the steeda one or the home depot version? that explains the oil in my manifold but is it possible that the oil dripped out the tb, ran down the intake tube, went through the sc and out into the pipe that feeds the sc...

    Cool-Shot Nitrous Injection ? ? ?

    i ran a kit just like that on my goped for a while. it lasted a while on the goped cause you had to feather the trigger or the motor would bog. those tanks are only 8g so if you squeezed the trigger all the way down youd get about 2 seconds out of a tank i supposed if you really wanted to you...

    Novi-2000 and Underdrives?

    i had to take my under drives off when i put on my sc. the u/d pulleys dont do much other then make your alt work harder so i didnt mind seeing them go. with the crank pulley i had no choice because my vortech came with a crank pulley that was one piece (it replaced the u/d cause it had the...

    handheld tuner available

    i dont think so because those years dont have obd2 and thats the port all those tuners plug into. they are a waste of money anyways. add 2-4* on your base timing and run a higher octane fuel and youll get the same gain as you would with a tuner
