    Darn It....though I Would Get Away With It.

    Finally got some time to do some data logging with my set up. Willie from Dirty Dirty Racing has been chipping away on it with me. 331 H/C/I stroker, with all the bolt ons and a V1 S-Trim squirting out 14psi. I'd hoped my fuel needs were being met with the 255Lph HP, stock lines and rails...

    Surging Idle After Revving

    Don't go messing with anything before pulling your codes. You're spitballing until you do so. And you shouldn't be doing anything to the IAC but cleaning it.

    Exhaust Leak

    No, not at all. Almost zero horsepower gain, but the potential to create all sorts of other issues and ECU trouble codes is now present. The pump is only really active during cold start and light cruise. They practically free wheel any other time. Deleting the pollution equipment was one...

    Fox Real Cost And Upgrades Needed For Vortech Blower

    There is "need" and then there is "want". If you're going entry level and aren't planning to drastically increase your horsepower levels beyond what the kit advertises, then you "need" nothing more than is supplied with the kit. If you "need" to squeeze out additional horsepower beyond what...

    Exhaust Leak

    Actually, I meant why did you go to all that trouble, just to delete the pollution pump?

    Forced Induction Which Power Adder For My 90 Cobra Clone?

    I'm a fan of the Vortech V3, but the pro charger is nice too.....just quite a bit more expensive and a much more involved instal.

    Brakes The Ultimate 4-lug/5-lug Brake Conversion/upgrade Thread

    This thread seems to have gotten a resurgence of popularity. As such, I've stickied it to the top.

    Will Heads, Intake, Headers Get Me 100 Hp

    IMO, that stuff should be addressed before one even considers digging into the engine. See.....19-year old me wants to throw a set of shorties, some underdeveloped pulleys and a K&N filter on it and think I just picked up 40hp. Older, more sensible 40+ year old me says none of that means...

    Which Cam And Lifters To Go With...

    I personally think a CompCams XE264HR fits the bill for almost all N/A GT40 top end cars. It's just a great all around cam

    Serpentine Setup Help

    Unless this is a dedicated race car, I can't think of s single reason why you'd want to remove the A/C and power steering. Especially on the south/west coast? The horsepower gain is minimal. Certainly not worth the hoops you've got to jump through to remove them.

    Ac Makes Exhaust Loud..

    When you kick the A/C on, the ecu should compensate by bumping the idles speed 150RMP or so. Try manually bumping the idle with your accelerator pedal to the same RPM with the A/C off and see if it happens. Loading the engine like that (the way the A/C compressor does) will make the exhaust...

    Will Heads, Intake, Headers Get Me 100 Hp

    Good idea. Hauling things down from speed with that kind of power on tap can be down right scary.

    (video Included) Timing Chain Tensioner, Is This Normal Or No?

    Nothing to worry about. You have oil actuated timing chain tensioner on either side of the block. They're only functional when the engine is running and pressurized with oil. If you'll notice each time you detect the chain getting slack, the piston of the acuator on that side collapses. This...

    Paxton Sn 92 Help

    If it was making boost and isn't any longer it's probably in need of a rebuild.

    Will Heads, Intake, Headers Get Me 100 Hp

    If you engine is in otherwise good running condition, I'm thinking you'd be better of spending your money on a V3 Vortech and call it a day. Install is relatively simple (far more so than a top end swap), you'll easily make 100hp over stock, with the potential for far more, yourdrivability and...

    BEFORE you butcher a 4 eye... (56k beware)

    My buddy had a warmed over 5.0HO in a mid-80's 2WD Jeep Cherokee a few years back. He missed it so much after he sold it, he bought another mid-80's 2WD Jeep Cherokee a year or so ago a dropped a 2JZ into it. Both were really unique and fun to drive, but the V8 Jeep made a much better...
