If you go single at those power levels it's either gonna chatter (multi-puck disk) during engagement or have a very stiff pedal and wreak havok on your thrust washers (heavy pressure plate). I use a heavy pressure plate with a factory single disk for now, but I haven't had the boost up so not...

The way I've always seen it, SM for the MKIII crowd and SF for the MKIV crowd. I think it still holds true. Just look at the MKIII FS forum over at SF. Like maybe 2 new threads a week. Not much activity at all

Ok, curiosity got the best of me and I did the leg work for you. Called my Jasper rep who attempted to look up the tag number shown on your engine. It is so old that it is no longer in their system. They never offered the 7M, but that doesn't mean that they might have rebuilt one that a customer...

I've installed a few Jasper reman GM engines and transmissions and have had zero issues. I'm really surprised that they even offer a 7M engine as they do very few foreign engines and every assembly I've bought from them was received coated in their "Jasper Grey" paint. Block, oil pan and all...

Dammit Nick! You screwing up my trolling! :biglaugh:

^ Depends what you mean by "splits down the side". I was assuming you were talking about the plastic cap being split. If the metal injector housing is cracked then that bad boy is f#cked and in the garbage it goes. And if you don't have a complete matching set, internal condition unknown, and...

How did you come to this conclusion?

Same thing happened to me when my clutch disk welded to my flywheel. Assuming you weren't slipping your clutch the whole way to work, I'd say that your release bearing might be toast.

Not sure how the term "new" applies here as that injector is pretty beat. Looks like the bottom cap is deformed (melted?). The caps are replaceable however. Even still, one should always clean and flow test used injectors. Even more so when they are received looking like that. Definitely don't...

Sounds like a blown head gasket to me. Burning coolant when the engine is cold. Then when warmed up and the metal expands, it's sealing off the leak so no more smoke. Just a theory. Are you losing coolant? Does the white smoke have a sweet smell? Could possibly be condensation burn-off in the...

Yeah, those will be too big.

They are a labor of love. A never ending journey of maintenance and repairs. If you won't enjoy the ride, get out while you can.

In my experience I find that Iridium's and Double Platinum plugs are standard equipment on vehicle's where the intake plenum needs to be removed in order to service them. We're talking 3+ hours book time. So the manufacturers use these expensive plugs, (NGK Lasers anyone?), because they last an...

I prefer the newer bosch style injectors due to their quicker response time, but these should be fine. Especially since they're only 550cc. Plus the newer ones won't fit our rail without adapters. Driftmotion's price seemed too good to be true at first glance until I realized it's for quantity...

I just got my Turbonetics Hifi back from Turbo lab of America. You will not find a cheaper place to get turbo work done. That being said, took me 2 months to get my turbo back. Not to mention, they said I needed to have my bearing housing replaced which I agreed to. Received my turbo back with...

Golf cart?

Tru dat. Targa is a privilege, not a right. ::toothless::

Looked in there. Nothing close to me that's still open. There's a few good ones in Atlanta, but we're talking over a 5 hour drive. I'm wondering if I could find a reputable place to take my data log and fine tune from there.

I have a 7m with AEM V1 which I need fine tuned since my cold start is rich now since I moved down from Maryland. I also want to get my boost control set up. Is there any reputable place within 100 miles that anyone can recommend?

People have made well over 700whp using the factory manifold. There's no need to replace it. I personally hated the way it looked, so I swapped mine out for an FFIM.
