    Air Fuel at Cruising, Light Load

    I recently had my car tuned by Dez and installed an air fuel gauge which made me notice I run really lean during idle and cruising with light load, at around 16-18+ on my gauge. This is with one of the O2's unplugged, I always read it goes really rich if one or both are unplugged so what...

I am running Green Stuff EBC brake pads with Brembo Blank rotors and it looks like there is about 1/8" more clearance needed for me to be able to put my caliper on. I have depressed the piston all the way using...

    6G Alternator Help!

    I have the 6G Alt in my car, and at idle the volt meter needle likes to bounce up and down along with my idle but when I am cruising the needle stays at a solid 14V. My idle will only vary a little bit, maybe 50rpm, but my voltage will go from like 14V down to 11V and then bounce from 11V to 8V...

    I know the limits of the stock block is anywhere from 450-500whp, I am trying to plan for the future but I don't really want to put down the dough for a DART block which can handle 1000+whp. Is there any kind of middle block which can handle 600-800whp?
