While I am not into modifying the stock appearance, twokwiks mod will be done, and valve covers polished like the one above mine. There are others like that, and they do look good.
Only thing different is when I had a few weeks with the car, I rerouted vacuum lines, installed new ignition wires, thermostat, and FPU VSV. Other than that, this bone stock. Excluding exhaust.
Depends on what your idea of a good idea is. If it is a 6.0 GTO, they might work pretty well. On the other hand, that is an all aluminum engine, that will dissipate a lot of heat on its own. I suspect the fans move a good amount of CFM.
You try it, and tell us if it worked.
I think this crude drawing can illustrate it for anybody isn't following. This is what the torque curve would look like with the stock plenum. In blue, is the torque curve with the intake air control valve operating correctly, and giving you that ACIS function.
This is different than...
The plenum is too big for a 3 litre to fill at low velocity.
Now this part I know you understand. The intake valves opening and closing makes air pulses. The valve is closed so they bounce off, and are sent back to in the intake valves, creating a little bit of pressure. So the valve...
I know it pulled harder. Because it was weak underneath that point. It is like running with 2 plug wires disconnected, then plugging them in at 3500 rpm. You would feel a jump with all 6 on. Then you go and tell people to disconnect the 2 wires and drive like that, and plug them in at 3500, and...
You aren't getting it yet. The spike at 3500 happens because of a deficency below that point. That is why you feel it. The intake air control valve gets rid of the deficency, so you have the torque all the way through the rpm band. Keep in mind that the tuning was designed for the 7MGE not GTE.
Now that the Iranian hostage crisis v1.2 is over, what are you paying. I read it has been escalating. Even worse, with the price going up, demand has not changed.
Demand is reported at all time highs for the season in fact. Post your local prices.
When the engine torque increases, the stall speed will change on its own.
I would not suggest trying to modify your stock unit. However buying a higher performance unit I can suggest. It will have a different internal ratio, increasing your output.
Pulling the EFI fuse doesn't fix or break cars. The IM 240 test will pick up stray HC's from leaks, wether it is oil or gas. That is what I was thinking about. One thing with that is you are only high during accel, which you are supposed to be anyway. Which is why I also asked about the cat.
