    Starting issue

    Ok, I discovered a couple codes. Cylinder 8 came up so did a compression test and it was fine. I did a spark test and it was fine. There is no rough idle or operation. It also has plenty of power. The other code was 13c which is idle rpm which I changed myself to quiet down the supercharger. I...

    Ok, I don't have test light but I'll get one and give it a try this week. Thanks for the input!

    Starting issue

    hmm, I didn't know codes would come up even if the check engine light isn't on. That's relieving and scary at the same time. I have a volt meter. What setting should I use on it? Otherwise, I'll try a jumper or take it somewhere to check the codes. Its so weird, once it starts and it coughs up...

    Starting issue

    I have a 91 gt and I'm have trouble starting it sometimes. When I turn the key the motor turns and turns and turns but it wont start. This lasts about 30 seconds, then it finally turns over. After it starts the idle goes up and down like waves for a few seconds and is a bit rough. Then the car...

    RANDOM OVERHEATING??? HELP!!!

    Thanks for the replies. I'm going to checkout some the these theories when the semester is over. I hope its not the head gasket.

    RANDOM OVERHEATING??? HELP!!!

    No other suggestions? somebody did tell me that after the heads got machined that thiers vertually no deck clearance. That the the heads could be lifting up off the block and allowing combustion gas into the cooling system. Could that be true?

    RANDOM OVERHEATING??? HELP!!!

    The thermostats in the right way, and i have tried filling it on an incline to let as much air out of the system as possible. it happend mostly on the freeway like last night, but also on the street like this morning. it can cool down while at idle, but not while in motion. otherwise, It runs...

    RANDOM OVERHEATING??? HELP!!!

    How do I track it down? thier's no drips on the concerete under the car. The half gallon of coolant i loose comes out of the top of overflow.

    RANDOM OVERHEATING??? HELP!!!

    I have a fresh 306 longrod with only 1000 miles. I have put a new ford racing H/D radiator, new cap, bypassed the heater core (because it was leaking), a new thermostat, and I put a high volume water pump also. The wierd part is that about once a day or every other day, out of no where the temp...

    loss of boost after rebuild!!

    My hp goal is around 450, but what really matters it my ET. I don't know what a tangible goal would be with my car without a boss or dart block. I have my current set up on this thread. I have a good base (i think).

    loss of boost after rebuild!!

    I'm still using the stock tach. It can still jump passed the rev limit even if it kills the spark. I am still running the 6 rib set up. I am using the "no slip" glue for S/C belts. It stays at a solid 6 psi at 6000 no jumping around. I checked out the belt, pulley, and idler combos and I think...

    loss of boost after rebuild!!

    I shift at about 6000 rpms, though in the water box it sometimes quickly revs to 6500. That's why I was hesitant to come so close to the max impeller speed at 6200 and also was considering the discharge temps with spinning it that fast. My stock pulley is 3.33"(which i have) and with a 7" crank...

    loss of boost after rebuild!!

    IF I AM ALREADY MAXING OUT THE IMPELLER SPEED IN MY SC, WHY WOULD I PUT A BIGGER CRANK PULLEY? WOULDN'T THAT JUST OVERSPIN IT TOO JUST THE SAME AS A SMALLER PULLEY ON THE SC ? HENCE THE REASON I'M ASKING IF I SHOULD UPGRADE MY V1 SC TO A V1 Si. I DON'T JUST CARE ABOUT BOOST I CARE ABOUT EVEN...

    loss of boost after rebuild!!

    Well, I went to Vortechs website and used their calculator for impeller speed and I don't think it would be safe to use the 2.62 size pulley. If I were to run it I would not be able to rev passed 6500 for only about a 1-2 psi increase and it would also increase my discharge temp. I'm running the...

    loss of boost after rebuild!!

    I completely understand about the boost on a more efficient motor. They are just air pumps. I just didn't think it would make that big a difference in boost numbers. The car is definitely faster. It revs much quicker too. I just added a cam and ported the exhaust side of the e7's. i actually...

    loss of boost after rebuild!!

    SO I SHOULD JUST PUT THE NEXT SMALLEST PULLEY ON IT(WHICH WOULD BE THE SMALLEST FOR THE V1) TO GET MORE BOOST BACK? AS LONG AS I DON'T OVERSPIN IT

    loss of boost after rebuild!!

    I recently rebuilt the engine in my 5.0. it only has a couple hundred miles on it now. The problem is that I used to have 10psi of boost@6000 and with the new set up I only get around 6 maybe 7ps. I checked all the hoses and changed the pcv valve, my only suspicion left could be the bosch bypass...

    boost senitive timing?

    boost sensitive timing? I was just wondering if there were any hp gains to be made with using a boost sensitive ignition like the one MSD sells for 250$, or does it just allow you to run more boost safer. I have a 306 with 10psi v1 sc, srp pistons (9.0:1), 30lbs injectors, Holly systemax...

    Camshaft??

    I'm in the middle of rebuilding my 91', and I was wondering if I should put a new camshaft in while the motor is out. I've looked at the e-303 because of the 50 state legal aspect, but I don't know if It will work well with a 8-10 psi centrifugal supercharger (narrow 110 lobe separation)...
