Trying to get some feedback on this question as I don't see many references to solid lifters. Cam is a flat tappet. Thanks in advance.

Did you try turning the steering wheel or steering column? The column should rotate counter-clockwise and clockwise. During that rotation either way you should feel it going into different gears like that of the console shifter. (or as it would if it were a column shifter)

Yes, heheh, as odd as it sounds...it will rotate.

To get the key out try what turbojimmy mentioned. If that works then you may need to adjust or replace the linkage. Anyone else want to chime in?

If the linkage/cable isn't broken then it should be very easy to take care of yourself. Just take a look at the linkage. There is a bracket and a spacer that holds the linkage in place on the driver side of the transmission case. If the linkage is just floating in the air then it came loose...

There is a spacer on the driver side of your transmission case that holds the shift cable to the housing. Check to see if that is missing or coming loose. Mine started inching out slowly and I had the same problems. Had to bend it to make it tighter and refit it.

Increasing the scavenging effect on the exhaust helps generate power. If you are looking to cool an item down because it is "too hot" then that item has a poor heat retention. The heat is transferring from that item to the outside at such a rate that you lose scavenging effect. Thermotec is...

Saw a post about this on another forum and people have good and bad luck with the wrap. Personally, my 3" Terry Houston SS DP and crossover are thermotec wrapped (non-graphite). I've had it on for a little over 6 years with no issues at all. Car stays outside and drive through all weather...

I've a question... with the 4" inlet on the turbo and assuming you are running a 3" up pipe did you have clearance between up pipe and turbo inlet pipe? or did you have to use a plenum spacer?

Where is your gauge reading pressure from? Manifold or turbo? The difference is the pressure drop. Turbo may be seeing 18 psi, but the manifold sees otherwise. I have a HD actuator as well and I'm able to get boost just under 15psig. But I also have a stock intercooler temporarily. So...

Yes. All depends on how you want to spend your money.

Doh! Sorry for the repost. Just read the forums about being N/A. Oh well.

We had a guy here in Austin, TX who ran a 9.9x @ 144 on his C5 Vette 2 years ago in March on a solo pass. He had 135 shot of nitrous w/ MTI 422ci. 6-spd. He later ran 9.8 @ 147 that night.
