    Tuners in grand rapids?

    Anyone know of any good tuners in Grand Rapids MI, I desperately need to get a retune to eliminate some drivability problems im having. i just dont know of any around, plus it has a chip in it and i dont know if an actual tuner can read one of those or if I have to send the thing back in.

    how much psi should i run?

    Well i was running 17 psi for a while and my block was fine, but I have forged internals. Im sure the hypers would not take any more than probably 12 psi, you would probably be running on borrowed time with anymore than that.

    how much psi should i run?

    Id say you would probably be safe wit the 9 lb pulley. you might see hp numbers in between 400 and 430. I cant be sure though, I dont know your whole setup. How many miles are on the engine?

    94 cobra sputtering on freeway

    You can pull codes the same way with the paper clip and watch the cel.Im having the same problem right now as well. But the sputtering goes away if i give it a little gas, and I dont seem to have any power loss if i get on it. And i tried pulling codes too and came up with nothing.

    Temp sending unit reading weird

    Yea i thought that might have been the case so I replaced that wire and its still doing the same thing. Its an autometer guage with a stock sender, will the Autometers only work with an autometer sender? I also tried a different ground for the guage itself and also had the same results.

    Temp sending unit reading weird

    Alright well i let the car warm up for about five minutes and the guage read 250 degrees, well I took the sender out right after I shut it off and shot an infrared thermometer at the coolant. It read 155 degrees. Im really out of ideas, i dont know what it could be. I guess ill try running a new...

    Temp sending unit reading weird

    Thanks hissin, ill check the wire for a possible short to ground somewhere. I tried manually grounding the wire earlier and it pegged the guage all the way to the hot side, Is there another way? Or did i do it wrong? I went from the body to the neg battery terminal with a wire just to ceck it...
