    accidentally plugged battery in backwards...how screwed am I?

    Ah yes, i did that about 3 months ago,lol. You will need to replace the solenoid and trace the wires that are connected to it. I had to replace one of the wires, approximately 10 inches give or take. If i am remember correctly it was green. After that it fired up and no problems since, knock on...

    BUYER BEWARE-CJ PONY PARTS!!!!!

    Sorry to hear about your negative experiences with CJ's. I had them install my engine, granted back in 2001 but i have had nothing but positive experiences with them back then. I had my car down there a month ago to get some things replaced, fixed, and ordered a couple parts and was satisfied...

    gt40x power increase and Q's ?

    I have a similar set up with mass air and have no problems, minus the typical Ecam idle but it isn't that bad. I believe you should be able to use your same manifold covers and yes the shorties will work. I have 30lb injectors and probably should have purchased the 24's instead but i am not...

    car won't start.

    I put a new battery in, put the positive cable on first then the negative cable. Smoke then started coming from the soleniod area. I didn't have the negative cable tightened so i removed it from the battery. I placed the negative cable back on and tried to start the car but it would crank over...

    what do I need to know about superchargers?

    Well if you are looking for an entry level SC you can go with a Novi1000 or a Vortech SCtrim. 5-6lbs of boost. They are a complete kit as for what you would need to install the SC. In addition to the kit you could get a Boost and Fuel gauge, a bigger fuel pump. A tune would be a wise move as...

    Another Need Combo Advice Thread

    You might be able to pick up a explorer intake cheaper than the Typhoon. You could also send the lower to TMOSS. Like Mike said go with the 70mm TB, 80 mm Mass Air. As for the 42lbs injectors you can probably get away with 36's but do it right the first time and get the 42's. This way you...

    Ran the track and dyno this weekend.....

    SVTEET, when i went to the dyno with my car and similar set up i think it made 260hp and 290 tq at 12* of timing. They bumped timing to 16* and it ended up producing 279HP and 317TQ. Was i happy, NO, i couldn't believe it only made that much. For the price of the engine i believed it should have...

    To advance cam or not

    Thanks. That answers several questions. Is there a difference in HP between the two? If so is there an average number or is it based on the combo.

    Any shops in N.E. PA or Upstate NY that install Superchargers and do tunes?

    I would also vote for Kauffman's. I think the name is Keystone Performance,or something like that. I believe there is a new parts store that opened in either Scranton or Wilkers Barre. They maybe able to help you with locating that shop.

    To advance cam or not

    I would say that is good advice. How big of a difference between an off the shelf cam vs. a custom. I imagine alot has to depend on what type of custom cam you want, how radical the cam is and what combo. I thought about a custom but have no idea what to order. I do know it has to be emissions...

    To advance cam or not

    Yes, Michael you are correct. I just didn't know what to do with the two people giving different advice. I guess the more advice i receive would help me decide what to do. Would there be a benefit to advancing the cam. I think the Ecam rpm range is 2500-6000??? By advancing it would it lower...

    To advance cam or not

    Don't know whether to advance E cam or not. I had two people give me different advice on this, they are both extremly knowledgeable about cars. One said to do it, the other said not to. My car will be a 90 to 95% street car and 5 to 10% track. Sometime in the spring i plan on getting the heads...
