    Pilot bearing?

    When I rebuilt the engine, I changed out to a magnum XL (connected the 2 outside the car), but didn't change the pilot bearing. The transmission was also rotated to the point I had to add spacers to the driver's side motor mount for the shifter to fit through the hole. I'm not sure which...

    Street/Strip Suspension setup (springs/dampers)

    What has everyone settled on for a good street strip suspension (spring/damper combo) that doesn't bottom out on every road dip? Everything I've seen is a few years old and people are still working it out...I haven't seen where they decided. Anything decided is for street/twisties. Parts I...

    3.0L vs 3.8L Whipple

    When would you step up to the 3.8L instead of the 3.0L? I've heard the 3.0L is plenty to make 1000whp and more. If I'm understanding correctly, a larger blower won't be as efficient at lower speeds, so kinda a turbo lag effect (which would be good to not spin the tires off the line). This is...

    3.60 gears

    What do people think about gearing your diff so you cross the 1/4 mile line at redline in 3rd instead of 4th? One less shift to eat time. And as I IIRC, power to weight matters much more than gear ratio.

    new o2 sensors still aren't working

    Just replaced both o2 sensors because the code said they weren't working. New sensors still aren't working (and ngauge says they aren't sending information). I just replaced the engine. Any ideas what I could have cut or pinched that I can check? Could it be that the rear o2 sensors...

    Brakes won't release with key on

    Just drive my car a little for the first time in a long time. I've done a lot of work to it, but no brake work. When I apply the brakes, they won't release until I turn the key off, then everything's fine. Anyone have any ideas?

    White powder on spark plug boot

    Something I should probably already know, but haven't seen before. I just pulled plugs to check them and noticed a white powder on the 2 middle boots on the driver side. What is it? What causes it? Arcing? Thanks

    New DCT transmission

    I noticed the tremec DCT trans (in the new gt500) a couple years ago, but thought it wouldn't handle the torque of our cars. Has tremec updated? Why would you want an auto offer a DCT other than smoothness? You would have to worry about burning the fluid or replacing bands/ clutches...

    Drive shaft too long

    Just changed to 4.30 gears and found out my crush sleeve/spacer thing was destroyed (9"). I think this is from when I first recieved my drive shaft and didn't realize it was too long (have since resized). My question is, if it can destroy the crush sleeve, what could it have done to the...

    Changing brake sizes on 9"

    I've seen a few people ask questions about how hard it is to change brake sizes on a 9" axle, or something thereabouts. (I'm changing diff gears and remembered to get a picture.) For brakes that fit a 15" rim (slicks). You just need to get this piece from someone (like currie) and rotors /...

    4.30 gears

    What do you guys think about going to 4.30s? With a 0.50 6th gear I shouldn't have issues on the interstate. With everything I've done, it already doesn't have very good milage in town. Quick online calculation shows I should cross the line a little over 6500 rpm with 28.0 inch MT slicks...

    Rear O2 Sensors

    Does anyone know if our rear O2 sensors are wideband? I thought I read somewhere they were. If they aren't, will a wideband plug into the rear electrical connection? Or do they have the same wires I could re-configure? My rears are turned off at the computer, but are still powered (I checked...

    Amp draw while turned off

    Anyone know what the amp draw should be when sitting around in the garage? I'm tracking down why my battery runs down in a couple days. The battery checks out good. It's currently pulling 0.5 amp constant. I've added a couple things I've been double-checking. I realized I hooked a...

    Intake heat shield?

    If I'm thinking about installing a big gun intercooler anyway, is it worth it to add this under the intake? Don't know how much further I'll need to go into the engine, but it can't be much further. https://www.heatshieldproducts.com/i-m-shield

    Removing drivers side cam cover

    Ok, so how do people recommend removing the drivers side cam cover? Trying to do cams myself and the brake booster is in the way. I've tried lowering the k member. ..something won't let it go down far enough (trans mount? ) . I'm trying to move the booster out of the way, can't remove the...

    New fuel pump on the market

    I received an email from Brenspeed a couple days ago (used to order mods from them on my 3 valve). Sounds like they've specd out and created a new fuel pump (we would use 2 of these). Wanted to bring this to everyone's attention as an alternative to a boost a pump and see what the experts...
