Awesome sound, man. : )

Yeah, it's definately better to have the motor rebuilt- it's the only way to really know that you're starting with a trouble-free motor. Sometimes, a freshly- rebuilt shortblock or longblock pops up on the for sale section. Now here's what you really should do now. start the car up, and put a...

"I could get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a cow's ass, but I'd rather take the butcher's word...." :biglaugh: Just wanted to use that line.... Anyway- Quad tip, possible? Yes. Mess up performance? No. Look good? Questionable. Pain-in-the-butt? Definately. The...

I also doubt that a shaved head would cause obvious increases in temp. Check fan clutch as mentioned, and also thermostat- it may be sticking closed, which would be the same condition as a bad water pump. Also- you used a Stone head gasket? Not familiar with them.

As I recall, It took Acroth a LOT of time and money to set up this body kit. Also, you'll need some wide wheels to fit with the kit properly. If all you want to do is 'spice' up the car a bit, I highly recommend a shine front lip. They're understated, and look like a factory sport upgrade...

Shoulda been pork rinds then. :naughty:

How long does it take to run low on fuel pressure? Is it immediate? You definately need a fully-charged battery to determine what's going on.

LOL!!...step on your fruit loops....good stuff.

Your fuel pressure is only 26psi? I have mine set to about 35. I thought stock was in the low 30's. Someone smarter than me please chime in on this. I use a gap of .28 on NGK coppers. No problems here.

And yes, I am guessing, I know. I agree that a dyno tune is the only way to know if the boost level is safe.

It's not that it might be rodnock, it IS rodknock. 3K rpm rattles are one of the legendary signs of this. Of course I could be wrong, but I'd really bet my own money on this. Did you ever ask him WHY he did this? I mean, If my buddy got a cool, high revving car, yeah- I'd rev it up(with...

You can go as high as 15 psi, but most people say that the CT26 runs out of efficiency range around 12-15psi. That being said, I run mine at a max of 13psi, but I do have a Walbro an AFPR, and a MAFT. Without at least an AFPR, I would be concerned with trying to ensure that the A/F ratio was...

Doh. -1 for me not paying attention.

I say save the headlights for driving lights. I forget which front spoiler it is, but it has round driving light cutous, and I think they'd work in that nicely. You guys know which one I'm talking about- someone toss up a pic.

I used these. http://store.classicgarage.com/20h4recheadc.html They seem to be like E-codes as far as the lens pattern, but cheaper. AND they are glass lenses, not this crap plastic you see most of the time on Ebay. As they are glass/metal, you don't have to worray as much about higher...

OEM's are about $5 each. I replaced all 5 on each front hub for a total of $14, from Oreilly Auto, when I replaced the front wheel bearings.

Trust me- If you get the temp switch(as I did) from Summit, get the higher temp unit. otherwise, your fans will run continuously from 5 minutes after you start the car, till 45 minutes after you shut if off, and your battery WILL die. The problem is- the fan switch should not be located at the...

Um- I didn't see it mentioned... WHAT springs and shocks did you use???

Under the dash.

I have a full thermostatic oil cooler circuit, but I left it isolated for the breakin period(and I haven't been boosting much during this time). I didn't have an oil cooler circuit at all on the last 7MGTE, and the oil pressures were very normal on that one.
