    Drivability with new clutch

    I've had unusual clutch problems since I bought the car. I will have clean perfect shifts 1-6 and come to a light and 1-6 will be rough. Or feel like the clutch isn't disengaging fully.

    Engine lugs down in RPM when fan turns on

    Boss intake manifold, steeda 101mm, and Lund tune. My engine lugs down pretty low in rpm when the fan turns on. If I'm in traffic and coasting in 2 or 1 gear and the fan turns on, the motor will buck and be a bit wild. I do have a small coolant leak in the area of the water pump, but looks...

    Lund Flex Fuel Tune- Anyone Running It?

    Wondering people's impressions of the Lund flex fuel tune. I got 47lb/hr injectors and am eager to get that tune. How's it run with straight/mix of e85, straight e85 and with 93? Could the tune not be as good as a straight up 93 or e85 tune?

    13.8 rear brake install...caliper pin stuck

    One of the pins on the part of the break that holds the pads on my passenger rear is stuck, and I think was the culprit of sticking pads on that side. Smelled awful, super hot and I am unsure if I just ruined my rotor and hawk 5.0 pads. I drove it maybe 2-3 miles total in two separate drives...
