    MAF from my 96 Checy Vortec 350 for my GN

    I ended up with a spare MAF sensor for my 96 chevy truck and was wondering if it will work with the translator gizmo's in my GN. I am currently still tuning a stock unit without issue, but was thinking about upgrading if this MAF would work. It looks to be 3" and the plug is a three prong type ...

    Finally swapped in new PTC converter

    A couple of years ago I took my GN to the track for its first run. Ran 12.5@110. First pass down the track. Noticed shift light at 5200 was coming on about the 1/8 mile Or so... logs from turbolink showed about 23 % slip in the converter. So last year I orderd a PTC 9.5 from dusty. I had...

    Run it out or lift at 1/8th

    i had planned to run my car again this week at the 1/4 mile and hopefully avenge my loss to a guy's c6 vette, but since my new PTC converter appears not to be shipped yet I'm still running my old one which slips pretty bad on top end. I was hitting 5200 about the 1/8 mile @92 mph. So if I go...

    Quicker at part throttle ?

    ok my car is wired.... Can a fit car bog ? Like secondary's coming in to fast on a qjet carb ? My car litters seems to pull harder if I go about 1/2 in from a dead stop vs flooring it. Wot and it may spin the tires, or it may not . 1/2 throttle and it breaks loose as soon as the boost hits ...

    Would no tight up top hurt my performance

    I was talking to a respected trans guy here today concerning converters for my 87 GN. He told me the PTC 9.5 would be too much for my mild combo and actually probably slow it down in the quarter mile due to the lack of slip up top rpm wise. Just wanted to run it past you guys since id hate to...

    My car is inconsistant or I am

    Took the GN out of the garage since it was cool and it had not been driven in a while. Thing is the car is running weak it feels like... from a dead stop it spins the Nittos after about 10-20 feet for about 20 more feet then sticks and goes... Nothing to impressive...Boost was spiking to 25 psi...

    Try a new converter or is there better upgrades

    My combo is in my signature and it seems to work ok, but I'm not satisfied with the 1/8 to 1/4 pull.. Ruining 109 to 110 @ 24-25 psi shifting to OD just after the 1/8 hitting 5200 shift point... Converter drives nice but I wonder if it's loose under boost on top end and slipping ? I'd hate to...

    AC blowing hot in norm cold on max

    I drove my GN last night and due to the cool evening I did not need max AC so I switched to norm and moved the temp slide adjuster to mid and the air started being hot. No matter where I put the slider in any position other than max AC it blew warm air. What's up with this ? Thanks

    Better traction on the street than track

    Alcohol and o2 readings

    Seems like I read that spraying alcohol screws with the o2 reading . Is the true? Do I need to tune fuel at lower boost and no alcohol? I have had issues with low o2 730-760 mv even adding 10-15% fuel. Pressure rises with boost, so I think the pump is ok and is hot wired etc...
