    Chip choice

    My motor is ready for a new set of injectors and I came across a good deal on some 38# Green stripes. I have two chips here but not sure which to use. I have a RA93 and a Thrasher 92. Which would be a better choice? Car is fairly stock but I do have a Walbro 307, hot wire, adj. Reg., Cotton's...

    Tach hookup

    My 86 GN has the very basic digital dash. Speedo,fuel, and trip odometer..............yippeeeeee! I have an Auto Meter mini tach I'd like to use but I'm not sure if I can use in on distributorless ignition, and if I can, how would I wire it up?

    witnessed kill hemi ram vs trans am ls1

    If you want a hot rod truck, save your money and pick up the new 505 cu. in. 500 hp v-10 in the Dodge 1500 coming out in a few months. I've also heard it's coming with the 6 speed. 04 Cobras beware!!!.......:eek: :eek:

    witnessed kill hemi ram vs trans am ls1

    From what I've seen over the years, some LS1's seem to run better than others. Never can be too sure. I was out on the last warm weekend a few weeks ago playing around in my GN, and it's bone stock. A newer, red, non R/A TA is sitting behind me at a light. The big fog lights and high rear wing...

    Twin Turbo

    Sorry about the confusion Darth. My "fully engaged" comment was in reference to the opening line at the very beginning of this thread. This entire thread was started due to another thread titled "Porsche Turbo Coupe" by Red Regal T, in which he runs right with a turbo 911 with a slightly ailing...

    Twin Turbo

    I'm sure this Porsche wasn't fully engaging you. It seems they all run around at half throttle toying with everybody. It's a proven fact that one with a Tiptronic can outrun the space shuttle to the moon and back and use less fuel doing it.........:rolleyes: :p

    Overboost

    My car is bone stock and runs pretty well but it seems that on long pulls at WOT, like up a hill at say, 55 it wants to overboost and ping like crazy. What would cause this and how do I fix it? I've checked all the vacuum lines and everything seems ok.

    turbo engine in an endurance race

    Seems to me, for the kind of power you want to make, the RPM range you're looking for, cost effectiveness, and ease of installation a mildly built Buick 455 will do exactly what you're looking for. A 455 with a decent cam and a good set of heads will put out close to 500 horse with no trouble...

    weird noise

    I was poking around just looking things over around the belt area and found my problem by accident. One of the clamps on the hose from the turbo to the I/C had come loose. Don't know how it happened but I snugged it back up and problem solved. Thanks to everyone who tried to help. I'm sure I'll...

    weird noise

    The A/C compressor? In neutral it revs quietly, only seems to make the noise under boost. Would the compressor be boost sensitive like that? How would the crank sensor do that? I'm not doubting, just trying to understand the problem better. I'm new to these cars and trying to figure out all...

    weird noise

    I finally got the electrical gremlins worked out and my all stock 86 GN is running pretty decent. Had it out today playing around and it started making some sort of shrieking noise under medium to high boost. Only does it under boost and sounds like it's coming from the drivers side under the...

    Twin Turbo

    My point is simply this, the man said he ran right with a turbo Porsche. Was it your Porshe? No, but that is no reason to place doubt on his word. If you doubt him, take yours and go run him. Seems pretty clear cut to me. Otherwise, I'm inclined to believe what he says is true. P.S.- If...

    Twin Turbo

    You know, the thing about having plenty of money is that you can buy expensive, fast cars and jabber all day long about it. It takes a little more involvment in your hobby to build your car with your own hands, to be fast and have a clue about what you're talking about. Especially when you're...

    Nova and 3rd Gen TA

    I'm fortunate to own both sides of the coin here, and I love both my cars but they are as different as night and day. Both are reasonably fast but in stock trim my GS 455 will walk away from my stock GN. A big block is just a different kind of power. As soon as u mash the pedal that big ol 455...

    Anybody priced a GTO yet?

    I have heard these cars will run high 13 to low 14 seconds off the showroom floor, but with all the LS1 mods available I think you'll start seeing some 12 second cars very soon. I've also read that the Aussie cars can be had with a 427 cu. in. LS6 pushing in excess of 500 horse. If we get that...
