We were trying to get in the Richard Petty racing school, but they did not have enough cars left on the day we are there. Just try to find a backup plan. I started planning a little late, the crew will be dissapointed if I cannot arrange something.

I am taking a group of managers to Orlando next week and we want to do some racing. We can rent the track for a day, but we need a car or two and someone willing to give instruction to a group of 11 of us. # of runs and price is negotiable. Anything that can run a 12 flat or less would be...

Be careful on Q45's. I had one and leved everything about it but the tranny. They go out pretty regularly and are VERY expensive to rebuild. $2000++

I just put it on a new Scanmaster last night. Install was easy. The knock readout seems to be working. I got it to read 2 degrees for a flash by hammering it from a roll, otherwise reads 0 at 20 lbs boost. The O2 MV is all over the map. It reads like a random number generator at one...

Zack, your links do not work for me, please update. Thanks

I have not seen the "bridge" you refer to, but is it something that could be welded in? I did check the gnttype page, but there was no info on this casting. The pics were helpful and it did match. I did do some vague posts about them before I bought them, but did not want to give away that...

so you think I should just leave it where it is, a little rich for saftey?

I borrowed a scan tool yesterday and started tuning. Baseline with 100 octane unleaded was 15.5 lbs boost, 0 degrees retard and 900 MV. As we turned up the boost, the MV went down about 15 mv per pound. We stopped when boost was peaking at 20 and settling in at 19, with 840 MV, and a...

I am running 100 octane unleaded. On 93, I got flash of 2 degrees that quickly tapered down to 0 to 1 at 16lbs boost. I don't have a scanmaster. Should it be safe to go to 20 lbs?

I bought a set of ported heads. They were done by RHS. I got them cheap(310 with shipping). I took them to a local shop for a visual inspection, and they checked out well: port matched on the intake side, fully ported & matched on the exhaust side, 1.71 / 1.5 stock style valves, Z28...

Be aware that there are some things that you may want to do before you start going for more power. The car may be pefectly maintained, then again you may need valve springs, ft & rear main seals, etc. The one I bought needed LOTS of worn parts replaced. I ended up spending a couple thousand...

What time does the BK thing start? I think I can make it. I have a family thing going on today, but it should be over by late afternoon.

I am going with ported stock heads and SMC progressive alchohol. I was going to buy the Champions, but I found on Ebay a set of heads that were fully ported by RHS for $310 with shipping. Apparently they will work, but I knew when I bought them that they are from an 80-81 Monte Carlo Turbo...

Is anyone familar with the shop "2nd Hand Power" in Memphis, TN? I am buying a set of heads mail order from them and could not find the place in the yellow pages for Memphis.

Then do you think they should be ok to use on an 87 TR?
