    WHO KILLED THE ATKINS DIET?

    Well not really on any count. He fell on ice and died of a brain aneurism. The high carb diet came out in the 80's, and Americans have been getting fatter ever since. Fast food= ultra high carbohydrates. If you ever read any of his books, you would have found most of it accurate. His main...

    Need a new AFM?

    If the seal on the top cover is broke, then somebody has been in there. Not to scare you either but those were like $700 new. I don't know how much now. I'm not saying you need one either.

    I need advice about a persistant miss

    It sure isn't normal. Another way is to check the voltage output and make sure it rises smoothly. Leaking EGR will cause a no load or small load miss. But I would look at a lean miss under light load first.

    running too rich. help!!!

    If he ran fine the first four times, then it went to hell, something happened right there. Unless he wasn't running as well as he thought. But I don't have the crystball handy. The more you drive your car at WOT, the more the ECU will go with fuel trim.

    rusted exhaust bolts

    Take it to a small mom and pop muffler shop. You are taking a small chance, but in my experience they will bend the rules before a chain store. Yes, putting a downpipe on will help performance. Get a good turbo exhaust when you can too.

    TCCS Checker

    Good price. The new tool which will interface with TCCS/OBD/OBD II is like $3000, plus software. Yeah, having one speeds things up. You can read the same serial data the ECU is seeing, and know why the command from the ECU is wrong.

    That was General Patton that said "I'm not here to die for my country, I am going to make that son of a bitch die for his." Or one of his movie characters.

    Need a new AFM?

    Somebody may have done the GE airflow meter mod with it. Loosening the tension on the spring will let it open more with less air, making you rich.

    head porting?

    Malloynx put down 543 with the stock head and manifolds. How much higher are you wanting to go on the street?

    Speedo Gears

    I don't see how they can be, being the final drive is a different ratio, but the axle is the same.

    head porting?

    Most don't. It is a street head, not a race head, but the factory 7M will make plenty of power stock. If you are trying to get as much as you can, then have it. Read Defiant 7M's thread. He is naturally aspirated, so he is doing internal mods.

    SILV06 - Two Months Left

    I will be there with the wife. She still wants to fly in, but I am heading to the motor city to pick up the ride. The scenic ride and the poker tournament will be my only participation. I am excited!

    Domestic Spying FTW

    Isn't that what I said? The Brits discoverd it, and we shared our surveillence capability with them. It was all done in the UK, except the Pakastani assitance. Was I stirring trouble? Maybe a little. It doesn't. But the DNC is opposing objectives strictly for the point of being agains the...
