    hey you AOD guys in here....

    1 tip about aods is that when you shift from 3 to 1 manually while moving (40-55mph) the car will go into 2nd gear and not 1st. This is huge advantage when racing from a roll. Aods take forever to downshift and are in a hurry to shift back into 3rd for some reason. Mind you my car has i/h/c so...

    Anybody think its a good idea to run 1.7 rockers on just the intake valves and use 1.6's on the exhaust. Should help dynamic compression.

    ASP Pulley On A 3G Alternator?

    i put a 3g on last year. My old pulley didnt fit it because the 3g has a lip around the shaft whereas the stock alt it pressed against the fan. Solution, go to your local battery/starter/alternator shop with the 3g and find the smallest pulley that fits.

    Also what cams will have the same base circle as stock. I have read on this board that the 2031 uses a smaller base circle. The only thing I will change will be the cam. I really want to use my newer stock length pushrods. thanks

    HP gain from Electric fan install?

    I tried using the stock shroud with the taurus fan by triming to fit inside of it. It didnt work, the car would run hot on the highway. Just use the taurus fan and drill a couple of holes in its shroud to mount the water bottle in roughly the same position.

It didnt help because the temp was still around M or r on the word normal while moving at 45mph. I know the stock gauge isnt accurate, but I know the car was...

Anyway the fan cools great while in traffic, but on the highway and when the engine is under load it runs hotter than with the stock clutch fan. I trimmed the shroud of the taurus fan and fitted it in the...

    maybe use a snowplow solenoid for electric fan?

    I am installing a taurus fan in my 90 gt. I dont want to use the common 30 amp relays. I just bought a snowflow continous duty selonoid from advance autoparts for $11. I figured if they can power of a snowplow motor it should handle any electric fan with else. The bosch 75amp relays are hard to...
