    Hey all

    It's been a while since I've been in here. Who was it that had the EGR tube that they had invented for the larger intake in the 94-95? I need one, because Virginia won't even touch it without an EGR.

    The continuing saga...

    Grady and John, Continuing saga here. So back in December I took the, for lack of a better term, "the lean machine", back to my builder. He found a major vacuum leak from the throttle body adapter sitting tightly on the valve cover, and the plugs were completely fouled. So, he fixed the...

    Amperage of the stock alternator

    I know I'll probably catch flack, but it's easier to ask the question than to search through all these message boards. Greg

    Opinions on E-10 Ethanol/Gasoline mix...

    All, I am being told that E-10 gasoline can make up to 5-8% horsepower difference to the low side. After looking throughout a bunch of different internet articles, of course, the oil companies claim it gives you a higher horsepower. A lot of boating articles say that it is 3-5% less...

    40 Series Mufflers hurt Virginian ears...

    All, Within the last three days, my daughter-in-law has been pulled over 3 times for her glasspack on a POS Acura. The police tell her that the muffler cannot be any louder than stock in VA or it is deemed defective. My beast is twice as loud as her rice-burner. So here is the deal...I...

    OK guys, mechanically challenged here...

    Alright, (Grady, this is carry on BTW), the engine builder of the car said he never ported the lower intake, and that that cam that he put in the car should peak around 5800-6000 anyway. They are the TFI Track Heat Upper and Lower's and Victor Jr. heads which should be plenty. Could the...

    Obviously my stock coil was degraded

    I think some of you probably remember my question about whether the MSD coil would make a noticeable difference, and I got mixed reviews. Well, I went ahead and got the Moroso Pro-HO coil (for dress up purposes), FRPP 9mm cables, and a Summit Dizzy Cover and Rotor Button. It definitely changed...

    New dyno numbers

    Well, after screwing around all day at the dyno, I got 1 more HP out of it, and 7 more ft./lbs. torque. It still wants to peak on HP at about 5300 though. The builder seems to think that is was the lower intake manifold that he used. He's not happy with it either, so that's a good thing. He...

    My Two Verts

    Just because I was bored. I finally had a good day to clean them both up. I'm sure Bimmertech can appreciate this... Greg

    Okay, got the car back now...

    All, I had all the tuning and horsepower questions, but now I have the car back. Still doesn't seem to have the horsepower I should expect from a Stroker and the idle sticks at 1500 after pressing the clutch for about 10 seconds before it idles down to 1000. When I turn off the ignition...

    SCT Tune

    :( All, Just had the 347 built and an SCT tune put on my car. It's hard to start, running lean, and won't idle when cold. When warm, the car is fine. Any ideas? Smitty

    Does MSD Coil make a difference...

    Does anyone know if the MSD Blaster TFI really makes a noticeable difference?

    Subtle popping noise after changing the struts

    All, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but advice from fanatics always helps, :D :D I changed out my struts and shocks last week. I did not change springs, and the struts were made for stock replacement. I noticed that when I pull out of my driveway, I can hear a little pop...

    Strokin' It

    All, I am new to the group, but, since I am spending all the money, I figured I would share what I was about to do with you all. My White 95 Convertible is completely stock except for the 3.73 gears and a CAI that I put on it. I am leaking out the rear seal so bad that it smokes when I turn...
