    Bunch of stuff. Step in !!

    Are the boost/tach modules actually functioning correctly, or are they just cores that need to be recalibrated by Casper's?

    1987 Buick Regal Turbo T - part out

    I'm also curious on the GNX gauge cluster price. I don't see it posted here. How about the rear taillights and bezels? Are they the black bezels? If so, what condition are they in and how much?

    Timing Cover oil splash guard - is it necessary?

    As I was getting ready to prime my new rebuild I found the timing cover oil splash guard on the workbench. (The dished round metal piece that slides over the crank key and helps seal the front cover where the crank comes through it.) I do have the regular neoprene seal in place but completely...

    275/50r15 et street on stock rim

    As indicated, I'm now going with an 8" rim with a 4.5" backspace, not the stock 7" GN wheel with a 4" backspace to get away with running the 275/50/15 (26" tall). I was hopeful that by adding the wider wheel and accounting for the change in backspacing it would work. However, my car has always...

    275/50r15 et street on stock rim

    I'm in the same dilemma. I was about to purchase a 275/50-15 for a new set of 15x8's (rear) with a 4.5" backspacing. I have airbags too. Can any of you experts tell me if this will fit? I also have Energy Suspension body bushings so it's not sagging in that regard. I just noticed my...

    Down pipes.

    I recently purchased a TA 3" from Full Throttle Speed. It's replacing my original 1995 Terry Houston downpipe that rusted out because it was mild steel. The TA piece is the closest thing I've found to the TH design, and it's a beautiful looking piece. Very well crafted. Thick flange...

    Confused about recipes and performance

    Good grief, they ran 13.9 to 14.2 all day long straight from the factory in below 50* air. Not sure who is posting the level of mods you're suggesting and still only running 13.9's, but unless those cars were also pulling a boat behind them, there's no way they'd be that slow. When I bought...

    Wanted - Terry Houston stainless downpipe

    Per my original mild steel THDP having rusted into oblivion, I would like to replace it with a stainless steel version. I'd take a 3" or a 3.5". Looking to not have to spend $500 like the current various new DP's cost, and I'd like to have a TH style, or the closest thing to it. Must have the...

    Valley Pan replacement for use with Fel-Pro 1200's. Where?

    GNJack, what is the cost for the piece you showed? Will there be any clearance issues per my block, heads, and intake all having been milled/decked, etc? It looks like it extends awfully close to the mounting edges of the intake so I want to make sure there is enough buffer left per my...

    Valley Pan replacement for use with Fel-Pro 1200's. Where?

    Thank you S10xGN for the diagram. It looks very much like the piece I saw from the guy who has now stopped selling them. Are you suggesting this can just be made with some pliable sheet metal?

    Valley Pan Oil Splash Baffle - Where to get?

    Thanks for the good input and photos Gents. I really like what FastBlack did but it also looks like it required professional level fabrication. Nick, the solution you showed seems more likely to fit my skill level, but I'm curious about the affects of hot oil splashing onto the bottom of the...

    Valley Pan Oil Splash Baffle - Where to get?

    Yes, the GM valley pan as well as the aftermarket versions are one piece, but this is what I'm trying to get away from. They are a metal gasket that comes matched to the factory head and intake ports and is not ideal for ported heads/intakes. I have friends who are running the separate baffle...

    Intake fit up issues

    Dealing with the same problem on mine right now. I actually cracked the intake while torqueing it down on the passenger side rear mounting boss. I went ahead and bought a virgin intake to replace mine and it was actually worse because it had not been cut, and therefore doesn't come close to...

    Valley Pan Oil Splash Baffle - Where to get?

    I am wanting to use the Fel-Pro 1200 intake gaskets therefore eliminating the stock valley pan gasket, and I also planned to purchase and use the Oil Splash Baffle made Automotive Performance & Machine. However, they have gone out of business and I have not been able to find a similar product...

    Hooker headers 86-87

    Been running Hooker headers w/ THDP on my car for 10+ years w/ no problem, other than occasionally needing to tighten the bolts on the cupped flanges to eliminate exhaust leaks. They're definitely an improvement over the stock manifolds and for the price he's offering I'd jump on them.

    anyone tried this new design Walbro?

    There sure seems to be a lot of tit-for-tat in this debate. However, I can attest to the value and performance of anything made/sold by Racetronix. He has actually been rather humble in his remarks by not mentioning his technical background and engineering abilities therein. The pumps...

    Cat converters clarification

    I always thought "C.A.R.B." was "California Air Resources Board", meaning that any product stamped "C.A.R.B. Approved" was legal for use in the much more strict laws of California. At least that's what it typically means on aftermarket emission related products such as exhaust, and even gas...
