    Tach and speedo jumping around under load

    I'm having a major problem with my tach and speedo. The speedo, when the car is under load, will freeze at random speeds and jump around. It'll go from 70mph down to 30 then up to 100. Tach will just freeze and then jump up to where it's supposed to be at. Very scary. Trying to get the car...

    Turbo build and dyno numbers

    Just finished up my new turbo setup (well 95% complete). There's a few minor issues to fix, but the car is driving now. Took it to the tuners yesterday. It's a simple tune so we can get some miles on the new motor. It's really rich, and missing a few degrees of timing as well as some RPM. It...

    Can't decide on gauges

    I'm in the middle of a new turbo setup and i'm torn on what to do about some gauges. I had a 3 gauge pod on the a pillar with Boost, Fuel Pressure, and EGT. I sold the EGT and the a pillar pods along with the old turbo. I didn't particularly like the gauges on the a pillar. They are easy to...

    advice on heads

    Starting a new turbo build and i'm wondering what to do about the heads. I've got MPH's 800hp shortblock and i'm building a turbo kit around a Garrett GT42R. I'm looking at around 600rwhp. Could i manage that with the stock 2v heads/cams? Now would probably be the easiest time to get the...
