I started feeling my car was a little rough while driving today. Not much, just slightly different. I let it idle, opened up the hood and popped the throttle with my hand at the throttle body. If I popped it kinda quick to about 2500/3000(i'm guessing) you can hear a loud clatter/rapping noise...

I just got through putting everything back together and breraking the cam in today. I noticed after I turned the car off and let it sit for a few minutes, then went to turn it back on that for a couple seconds it would smoke. It doesn't smoke at any other time. There are no leaks and the exhaust...

It says I should keep it at 2000 rpm for 30 minutes. Should I change the oil after this period or drive it around for about 100 miles then change the oil? After the 30 minute break-in period, how long should I wait before getting the rpms up? Thanks, James.

Ok..I know people ask these types of questions all the time and I know it is hard to say a certain horsepower. But I was just wondering what kinda horsepower I should expect. I had my heads pcket ported with a three angle valve job. The I got them back and did a port match on the heads to the...

I had a three angle valve job done on my heads. I am putting in a 206/206 or a 212/212 comp cam and neither the heads nor the block surfaces have been touched. Everything is stock. I am using cometics that are .060 thick. Do I need to use a different sized pushrod? Is there anywhere I can...

To hook up an autometer mechanical speedometer in my analog car, do I need to modify anything or have some kind of sender or will the speedo cable just hook straight up to the new gauge and read properly? Can't find anything on this particular question so I am forced to ask it. Thanks for any...

I had to change the timing chain, which broke and bent some valves. When I took the cam and lifter out I noticed one lifter had a nick in the middle of it, it is petty noticable. The cam looked pretty good but I don't want it to go south after all the time to reinstall everything. Should I just...

Well I just got through spending the better part of three days changing my timing chain, water pump, adding an external oil cooler and swapping out valve springs on the car. Not to mention cleaning all the gunk off everything. Good news was that the old cam gear was in perfect order. Bad...

I am going to be replacing my radiator and am on a pretty tight budget so I have a delima. I have the ramchargers dual fans and the stock radiator. As the temps here get warm my radiator just isn't keeping up. My question is this: I plan to use external oil and trans coolers so having a...

Well I am running 17-18 psi with no knock and O2's in the 810 to 825 range the whole way with 43psi static fuel pressure. I run 91 octane with 100% alky spray. I am about to replace the timing gear and chain along with replacing the valve springs with comp springs in the very near future. My...

I have everything in my post. As the days are warming around here to around 80 degrees or so in mid afternoon I have noticed my temps don't stay in the 160's for too long. The temps get to 173 on scanmaster then the RC dual fans kick on and cool it back down to 164 after about a minute or two...

I raced an A4 LS1, with a 75 dry shot and flowmaster, the other night. We raced from about a 20 punch and he only beat me by 2-3 cars all the way through 3rd(when I got out of it). Then we raced from a stop and we stayed side by side for awhile but my trans wasn't shifting real quick 2nd-3rd and...

I raced him from a punch(I am running 15psi). I left it in 3rd and tried to brake boost my car but couldn't get any boost before the third honk(first time I've tried this) I stayed next to him even with the lag and he pulled slowly and got 2 cars on me and we stayed about there through third...

I have raced an LT1 with 3:73 gears and lots of suspension, exhaust and boltons with Nitto DR's, we did it from about a 10mph role as we went through the intersection. He went first, then I got into it. He only got about 1/2 car on me before the turbo spooled to 15psi and left him behind. I had...

It seems like my car is idling rougher now but it probably has idled this way all the time. I just never paid real close attention or have spent that much time driving it. I noticed it has a slight miss which makes the car idle like it has a big cam in it (idle is around 725rpm with red's chip)...

I am running my current setup at 15psi and about to add the hooker exhaust. Later I will add 50# injectors, alky and a custom chip from turbotweak. My question is how much of a horsepower increase will I be looking at with the increase in boost? I'm just trying to get a figure on how much HP...

Well its not working. All the buttons function but it doesn't turn on the blower fan. When you run the heater you can barely feel a draft of hot air through the vents. You can hear the A/C compressor kick on but nothing blows when you turn the A/C on. The other morning for some unknown reason...

I got a turbo from aggressive auto who ordered it from limit engineering. I put it on and everything went fine. I let it "break in" if you actually need to break one in by letting the engine warm to normal operating temperatures for awhile and drove it around for about 15 miles before I started...

I am about to replace my stock turbo with a TA60 and was thinking about leaving the heat shiel and bracket off. I was wondering if anybody has had a header crack because of removing the bracket and any other problems related to removing the heat shield? I have read a few posts but they don't...
