    Pitbull muffler tone

    I've got the ATR 2 1/2" dual system with the aluminized pitbull muffs. I love the sound of this exhaust on the car but unfortunately the old pitbulls are about shot and full of holes. It's starting to sound kind of ratty so may be time for some new mufflers. I know most guys seem to prefer...

    Launching off E brake

    How hard is it on the car and related brake components to launch off the E brake? I'm talking sub 8 psi boost launches on a mid 11 sec car. Nothing crazy. This is with a vacuum brake setup that really seems to struggle holding more than 2 lbs boost at the line on the foot brake. If it makes any...

    Translator + spark base and WOT ?

    I have an older Trans + and Extender 93 chip setup. I've raised the timing for the spark base on the MAFT+ so I should have 23/21 timing for the alcohol. Should I have instead just raised the spark wot instead of the spark base? Does adjusting the spark base affect part throttle driveability?

    GM shifter cable

    Is the original GM shifter cable still available for our cars or at least a reliable aftermarket replacement? I've gone through 2 cheap Advance auto cables. They don't seem to be long enough. Any decent options out there?

    Installing front seat upholstry

    Thinking about trying to do this myself. I've got new GN front seat upholstry and headrest covers fresh in the box and ready to go on. How much of a hassle is this and what all is needed to do the job? Or is it better to just pay the professionals $200.00 and let them handle it?

    Cruising Driveabilty Issues

    Cruising at 70 mph or above the car surges a bit. For instance if I'm on the interstate and at an incline where I have to lift off the gas the car has this annoying surge/studder. It seems to do this more when the weather heats up like it has recently. Never had this problem before replacing the...

    Removing wheel locks (No key)

    Bonehead move of the day. I lost the friggin' key for my wheel locks after putting on the MT ET streets. :rolleyes: I've always been careful not to lose sight of the little bastard but I guess senility is setting in. Is there an easy way to get them off when I'm ready to mount up the street...

    Fuel Leak, uh oh

    Finally got my intercooler back on the car, filled the alchy tank and was ready to go for a cruise but while it was idling I noticed fuel seeping from the bottom of the fuel regulator. Took it off and found the bottom O ring was shot. Great! :mad: Anybody know where I can find a replacement O...

    Stock intercooler, CAS V4 owners?

    Can someone tell me what size bolt attaches the intercooler to the driverside bracket? I think the CAS piece uses the same bolt as the factory intercooler if I'm not mistaken. Unfortunately, mine came loose and is lost.

    TE44 blowing a little oil

    I pulled the up pipe this weekend and noticed the throttle body was coated with a thin layer of black grease/oil. There's also a bit of it around the inlet bell of the turbo too. Would this be normal for a TE44 that's got about 40,000 miles on it? Anything to be real concerned about? Just...

    Digital Dash 3 bar MAP wiring

    I've got Razor's kit about 80% installed. Just a few questions about the MAP wiring on the digital dash cars.
