    I've got a adjustable fuel pressure regulator and as soon as the engine is off the pressure drops to 0. HOw long should it take for the AFPR to bleed down? If the AFPR has a vacuum leak inside would it in turn have a hard time raising the fuel pressure under boost? Could enough vacuum leak...

    Vacuum block gasket

    Just replaced my vacuum block and noticed there was no gasket under it. Can I get this somewhere or even make one? I"m thinking I may have had a lil vac leak there and from what I've read there should be a gasket. Does GM still carry this gasket? Where can I get this bugger? TIA :)

    trimming ground electrode on spark plugs

    I saw a tech article that trimming the ground electrode on spark plugs to be even with the center electrode on the plug results in a stronger more consistant spark. Has anyone done anything like this? This is a tip for regular V8s and wonder if it would have any benefits on the 3.8Turbo.

    rhythmic vibration before shifts

    I've got a rhythmic vibration that happens a little before WOT shifts. It almost feels like the car is being held back acceleration wise when it does this. Its a really noticable vibration and it happens before each shift at WOT. I have also noticed the shifts are not firm, thus my next...

    Thems the Brakes, or maybe not

    So I have a blue haired old lady pull out in front of me and I have to slam on the brakes. Afterwards, when I retrace my route the next day I see my skid marks and notice that only the right side left a skid mark. Now I have noticed that the right side rim seems to be dirtier when it's time...

    valet chip, how?

    How can I get a stock chip for valet mode? Basically I've got a stock GN and need a chip with a, say, 3000 rpm limiter and about a 70 mph limit. At least thats what was suggested in my other post 'How to keep shop joyriders at bay' =) I suppose my questions are: where do I get another chip...
