    Effect of Ignition Timing on Coolant Temperature?

    Was playing with my timing today via the global spark adder in the Tweecer (for you non-Tweecgeeks, it's the equivalent of spinning your distributor). Anyway, I normally run around with 14* of timing (value of "4" in global spark adder w/dizzy set at 10*)... Today, I took it up to 16* (by...

    WAY Down on Power... I Hate my Car

    Some may remember that awhile ago I cracked my Cobra lower. I replaced it with a TFS Street Heat w/TFS elbow adapter. Before the Cobra cracked, the motor was running strong and though I had some converter issues in 2nd and 3rd, first gear was a downright beast and I was able to annihilate my...

    WTF Happened to My Car!?

    Play in Steering Wheel?

    Buddy of mine has a 95 GT, all stock. You can turn the steering wheel about 1 inch in either direction freely with no resistance. Doing this does not move the front wheels at all. The steering wheel has play all the time, when the car is off and when driving at any speed. I initially...

    AODE Guys, Recommended WOT Shift Points?

    Mods are in my sig... Basically, what do you all recommend for WOT shift points for my car, both N/A and spraying? I can store up to 4 different tunes, so recommendations for both are good. Right now, the car shifts right around 5100 for both 1-2 and 2-3. I'm thinking 5500 RPM N/A and...

    AODE/Tweecer Guys, Question, trans_dnshft_slptrgt_hld_dur_3

    AODE/Tweecer guys, What does the scalar "trans_dnshft_slptrgt_hld_dur_3" do? In the stock UP40 tune it holds value 3. The scalar above it, "trans_dnshft_slptrgt_hld_dur_2", holds value 0. I'm inferring that trans_dnshft_slptrgt_hld_dur_3 causes a delay of "3" of a downshift when you...

    Powertrax Lock-Right Locker Installed

    WOW...I truly think this is the BEST differential for a street cruising car that wants to lay down some good ETs at the track... The Powertrax design is relatively new.
