    New Stroker Motor Pictures

    Chevy Rebuilder??? Nice engine...just scares me a little about your builder wanting you to put a SBC :confused: in your car because that's where his expertise is. There are lots of horror stories about chevy rebuilders messing up GN motors. Hope your engine runs as good as it looks and lives a...

    Anyone tried XS Power headers?

    I've had a set of Hooker Super Comps on my car for for 5 years and 2 engines and have not had any header to head leaks yet. I'ts REALLY nice not to hear the tick,tick,tick!! The only thing Ive done is to double gasket the headers and cut the flang between each port. The cutting of the flane is...

    many mods promised me 11's but running 14's!

    If you gave Red the correct info on your new set up it's not the chip, Ive run high 11's with one of Red's chips a TE60 and a stock intercoller. With that turbo and a good intercoller your more likely to be too lean at WOT than "pig Rich" with blue top injectors. You need to have some way of...

    Lost All Oil Pressure

    Father's Day was taking my 18 year old daughter out to father's day dinner in GN and noticed engine was missing under very light acceleration:confused: but once it gets into boost the miss goes away and runs normal:biggrin: a few minutes later I make a hard launch:biggrin: and look down at...

    Blew up top end I think (1987 GN)

    "Caddy Pills" are crushed up walnut shells GM sells for some of their Aluminum headed engines to stop leaks due to casting holes in the Aluminum...works good for sealing all small gaps.

    what your MPG

    Those mods you listed will only hurt your MPG when your hammering the throttle...assuming you have a good o2 sensor and the engine is in good internal condition. The good exhaust and intake mods will help fuel mileage untill your right foot gets heavy.

    Time for new turbo...give me your thoughts.

    I just switched from a TE45a Q-Trim to Jack Cottons ctp66bb...while I was waiting for the BB Turbo I put a stock turbo on and was amazed at how fast it spooled-up...when I put the new CTP66BB on the difference in spool up from the puny stock Turbo was so small I could not notice any difference...
