    315's on the cobra... installed.

    I told you what to do with it. Sell, and get a bigger twin screw blower. Why have stock 375rwhp when you can have 600rwhp?

    Idle Problems.

    14.7:1 air-fuel ratio at idle is normal. That keeps the catalyst at its proper operating temperature.

    Water Temp 200 degrees F??

    If you have cooling problem with a new fan clutch, not a worn one, you could have a radiator that is ineffective also. Does it cool down with highway speed?

    500 RWHP Maft pro, A340E daily driver dyno run...wooo hooo!

    On a continued note, if you are really are a trailer queen, and don't really drive it on the highway or to work, FFIM is just fine. If all your time is from 4000RPM up, then go for it. Because if you don't, you are leaving some on the table.

    A little bird on a wire mentioned to me that the aftermarket rings need adjustment. You probably had to file them. Any lube you put on the cylinder wall will be scraped off by that bottom ring, that is correct. There will be a small amount left in the hatch mark, by design. The oil squirter...

    abs speed sensor malfuncion

    Most times what I have seen, on any car, is they hit something in the road, and ripped the wiring.

    I think your build is great. I like the detail of the engine also. Clean is where it is at. I want to use your dyno for a demonstration if you don't mind too much. That front facing manifold has shorter runners, and very large plenum. That really helps his top end pull. But it also sacrficies...

    The gap is probably ok *if* the machine shop did a proper bore, and you don't have a taper problem. You put the ring in the bore and push it down with the piston upside down and check the gap between the ends with a feeler gauge. Before assembly.

    Am I missing something?

    What does a fuel injection line clamp do? What are you trying to do?

    Water Temp 200 degrees F??

    A new stock fan clutch works better than fans. A worn fan clutch that spins freely does not move much air. I don't know what all you have or don't have, but everything was put on the car by Toyota for a reason. Make sure you have the undercover, working fan clutch, thermostat, 50/50, fan...

    vibrations

    When you push in your pedal, you are disengaging the clutch. When you lift the pedal off the floor, you are engaging the clutch.

    AFM electronics

    Over oiling the K&N, cleaning it, and running with out the filter are common reasons for it to fail. I haven't seen any older Toyota air flow meters fail on their own(doesn't mean they don't). The most common was the newer hot wire mass air flow sensor that was contaminated. That style is...

    Transmission selection.

    I don't see anything wrong with the transmission that came in the car. It does a weak spot or two that can be improved.

    Thinking About Using Spray Sealer on a MHG?...Might Want to Read This

    Many people don't lock their doors at night, for years at a time. Therefore, it is ok to leave them unlocked all time.

    What are your Goals for SILV '07?

    I think we should have a Cannonball to get there.

    315's on the cobra... installed.

    Sell the Supra and buy a Kenne Bell supercharger. Then you can have 600rwhp at 16 psi. I would.
