    Hesitating and stumbling over 3500 RPMs. Help! **Update**

    i don't know if this will help you or not, but a similar problem happened to me a few weeks ago. my car would run fine if i only gave it about a 1/4 throttle and didn't hit boost. when i gave the car wot and it would try to boost it would feel almost like fuel cut and not go over about 4k rpm...

    Stock temp gauge

    if it is the actual gauge not working then all you have to do is pull out the gauge cluster. the actual dash wouldn't have to come out.

    my first swap. i've got a couple questions

    the stock ge did not have an oil cooler. you definately want to have one. if the swap motor doesn't have it with it and you're gonna have to get one you might as well go ahead and upgrade to one that runs off a thermostat. there are plenty of threads on here about them and the benifits

    has anyone used these?

    has anyone used these?

    60' times were horrible at around 2.8 to 3. i thought about wheels, but i'm just starting to drag this car so i'm sure it will show me some weeks spots shortly where i'll have to drop some more cash.

    has anyone used these?

    thanks frontier...thats what i was looking for. i looked at the mt tires but i didn't want a tire as wide as they are right now since i still drive the car on the street as well. i'm just afraid they would roll too much on corners. i'm gonna go ahead and order the nittos tonight then, and we'll...

    Synthetic oil in the 7M???

    you can switch back and forth from conventional to synthetic as much as you please. i used to work at valvoline for about 5yrs. the additive package of a synthetic is the same as conventional, just more. the oils use the same base stock. even if you use a synthetic i personally still wouldn't...

    has anyone used these?

    i am familiar with 2steps. the reason i'm getting tires is because the ones i have on the car right now are dirt. i've been dragging f or a few years now so i'm not bad at launching. still room for improvement, but not bad. i just haven't heard a whole lot about these tires and was curious since...

    help me see at night please

    i don't think that there is a break in the wire. i tested the connectors at the headlights themselves. when the switch is on, all three of the terminals are getting 12v. i cant make heads or tails of the wiring diagram that i have and i dont know what they should be at but they are all def...

    Rear end noise and possible compressor surge?

    not sure on the noise when coasting, hard to say without actually hearing it. as far as the "compressor surge", i doubt it. if the motor is pretty much stock you wouldn't be pushing the turbo enough for it. when i upgraded my intake it made the bypass valve alot more audible. the stock valve...

    turbo rebuild or new

    if its just a matter of measuring clearances, i should be able to handle it. i just didn't know if it needed to be balanced or anything when the seals were replaced. i've got the money for a new one if it comes down to it, but i wanted to hear it was possible for me to do without screwin it up...
