Had my car at a stand still and revved it up to about 3000 RPM's and let go hard, around 20-30mph the tires spun pretty good(maybe that was the reason for excessive knock but why at wide open throttle the 9.8 KR) but when i was going 40 to 70MPH my o2's read 761 on my scanmaster 2.1 and my knock...

I have heard of these type of gaskets being used and seemingly sealing better then the copper ones.I tried ordering one about 6 months ago from Ramchargers but it never came.I think there explanation was that they don't carry it anymore.Does any one know where I could get this Gasket for the...

I have heard alot of good things about the TE-60 turbo.It is quick spooling turbo a step above a TE-44 and provides 20 more horses on the top.Other then the TE44 the TE-60 seems to be a very popular turbo with good street manners.I myself will not go to a bigger turbo because I had a 60-1 turbo...

Right now i got my sights on a Vigilante 3200 9.5 single disc lock up.I know the 9/11 converter is a good make also but the Vigilante has a 2.5:1 torque multiplacation.Thats hard to beat if true.Does any one here like Art Carrs 3200 9.5 better because i heard they were the best??
