So i have not been on the forums in years. My 95 GT took the back seat to paying off other bills and trying to be finacially responsible. i know i know. So anyways, i need to finish my project and i am honestly out of touch with what is availible today, good companies to go with and some of the issues i am having with my car.
Here is the break down of what i have done so far:
302 bored .30
reconditioned crank
forged pistons
B cam
balanced internals
GT40P heads with larger valves cut in (1.95/1.65 if i remember correctly
1.7 RR
Aeromotive FPR (that i think is bad because it will change FP on its own!!)
24# inj
255lph pump
PPI U/L intake
Foxbody 70MM TB
77mm MAF
underdrive pulleys
harmonic balancer
smog delete pulley
1 5/8" lontubes
MAC Pro-chamber
flowmater mufflers (really want to change those out too!!)
FMS HD Clutch
adjustable clutch quadrant
rebuilt T-5
B&M shifter
4.10 FMS gears
FMC C springs
new struts and shocks (cant remember the brand)
slotted rotors f/b
C green stuff pads f/b
subframe connectors ( weld in with the seat crossmembers)
There are a couple of issues. When the car is in closed loop it runs pretty awesome. once the computer takes it out of closed loop and the CEL comes on (for ERG) the car only runs good til about half throttle. After that it breaks up pretty bad and is no fun to drive. I always make sure that the TPS is set to .99-1v and that the MAF is clean. i even got another sensor to verify. i never got a code for either of those things but i just like to check things that i can verify.
I still have the stock ign setup with new plugs cap/rotor and wires. I would like to update the ign system but i am not sure what to go with anymore. I setup the motor for a power adder later so i am thinking the MSD 6D (i may be way off on that model), the digital box, and MSD distributor. Then i know i need a dyno tune. i really think the tune is the majority of the issue. Atleast it seems that way with the way the car runs in and out of closed loop.
Also something that i would like to update but is not priority ( gettin the motor to work properly is #1) is all the bushings for the suspension. They are all still stock. the car only has 75k on it but it has been kinda sitting for a while and i think it would help finish off what i have already done with the suspension. Maybe i am totally off my rocker too!
Hopefuly someone can chime in and set me straight. Any help/input is greatly appreciated. It is time to start work and the weather is breaking.
Also does anyone have a recomendation of a dyno tune shop in SE Michigan? I am in Oakland County.
One last question. I need to replace a axle bearing and i also want to repack the diff. I had the 4.10's put in so if i go to repack the diff will i have to relash the gears and everything or will that stay the same since the main thing is pinion depth right?
Thanks in advance everyone!! i really want to start turning wrenchs on the car and Stangnet has always been a place to get some good info from some great guys/girls.
