    Do 87-93's have govener speed limits?

    yep, there is a provision in the code for a speed limit, but it is not enabled. Uses the factory speed sensor, and can be activated.

    fuel injection opinions or ideas welcome!!

    cheap or expensive, and how much work do YOU want to do? Cheapest.... 1227749 GM computer from Quad 4 Grand Prix, Turbo Sunbird or Sy/Ty. Diagrams on the net, just wire it in, and you can tune it youself with a $80 prom burner and free software. Works from a stadard magnetic trigger...

    balancer question, what is 'sfi approved'

    SFI is this silly foundation that supposedly tests race equipment, and makes sure they meet their standards. When you race at a sanctioned track, certain equipment at certain speeds must be SFI certified. Stuff like balancers, tranny shields, seat belts etc. To find out what you need and...

    Carb Swap and Stock Fuel Lines

    tube nut, tube sleeve, flare the stock line...screw onto a #4 (return) and # 6feed) AN adapter, then buy some line to go to the regulator.... you could just use rubber line, but anything over 12" is not track legal.

    im building me a new motor

    Not an arguement from me. :shrug: The argument that a E7TE small intake port head needs more exhaust flow then intake is the part I was referring to as :bs:

    Carb Swap and Stock Fuel Lines

    well, you don't use the stock fuel rails, but oyu can use the stock lines, adapt them to a Barry Grant (or equivalent) return style regulator (pn 171021), and then to the carb.... easy.

    Calgary - Telus or Rogers cell phone?

    No matter what anyone says, telus has the best reception. Fido, rogers and bell all are worse. Example. At the U of C in certain areas, only Telus works at all. Same as at my house by Sait, my telus has full singal, perfect, the bell drops calls. Telus are thieving crooks though, charge...

    HTS/Ceramic?

    HTS is not ceramic. It is crap. To me, I think it looks just like VHT's spray paint. TO keep Mac crap from rusting, I clean them well, lightly sand them, and paint em with BBQ paint.

    Since its speed density, and if its in good shape, you may see 225 to 235 on the dynojet

    What size Carb?

    Edelbrock carbs absolutely ROCK and are trouble free. Barry grant stuff is giving a lot of people head aches it seems. Seems like they don't have their air bleeds sorted out, so delivering enough fuel at the right time on a GOOD motor is hard. Plus people at altitude are having difficulties...

    Can I supercharge with NO dyno tune??

    No FMU. 45 psi to be safe. 14 degrees inital timing 1 on the boost retard. This is a safe tune, but I would put a wide band on it just to make sure AF is in the low 12:1 range.

    Rev limiter fuel or spark cutoff?

    A9L's basically cut computer function at 6500rpm. Its not really a fuel or sprak cut, it just chaos, and very harsh. What msot people with stock 5.0's think is a rev limiter is really valve float. A chip CAN fix this. You generally leave that limit there (unless you wanna rev past 6500)...

    im building me a new motor

    Why bother with the rods and crank? If you are gonna spend the cash, stroke it. I don't understand. The stock bottom end will out live the block. TFS stage 1 cam is a poor choice. Look at something like the comp 281hr or 280hr depending on intake choice. The f303 would also be a decent...

    TYPHOON INTAKE....THE TRUTH....(IS DESIRED)

    If you are using a good throttle body like the Accufab or motorsport, the 65 or 70 is lots. If you use the cheapo knock offs, use the 75mm. Also, if you use the proffessional products tbody, check to see that when at wot, the thottle stop is lined up right as there is too much throttle shafe...

    11.11 at 132 mph on REAL street tires!!

    Had 3 bad runs where the car would pop on WOT, then BAMO, rips a 11.118 at 131.96 mph with a 2.048 60 foot on the trusty old BFG Radial TA's. The track prep was UNBELIEVABLE. I could almost go full throttle in second gear. Probably casue of the Father day funny car thing tomorrow, but I'll...

    Who will you vote for in thew Federal Election

    800 eh? Well, the US keeps it under wraps pretty tight, but independant research has shown that from 25,000 to 55,000 Iraqis have been slaughtered by the US. (Data from Belgiun based NGO - a group of medics for third world countries, and London based Medact, another group of volunteer doctors...

    LOL Yeah, that happened :rolleyes: IT was all a one sided conflict. The Serbians attacked the poor helpless Muslims (Kosovo Albanian terrorists) for NO reason whatsoever :lol:
