I am considering the Procar Elite seats, the grey valor option. Most pictures are gone. Any pictures would be great is someone has any, or other good recommendations for a street car welcome. The stockers are fairly worn, and I figure I can stick those in the basement if I ever want to...

Looking to get recent feedback from anybody who has installed the full kit with the supplied compressor and bracket, in addition to the box, vents, and vent controls? Thanks in advance.

For anybody interested, Ron Francis Wiring sells a direct replacement bolt in stock type connector temperature switch P/N AR-34, advertised on 200F off 185F. I installed one and it repeatedly turns on just before 190F and turns off at 182F based on watching the scan master.

Last year I put my Buick up for sale, looking to bank money for sending my last kid through college. Now I am not giving advice or saying right or wrong, but I pulled the car back at the end of the year and said fuck it, I'll just wing it. Now mind you, I have put 3 other kids through school...

Looking to sell my 87 Turbo T. $24,500. Price is a firm no-haggle price, will keep it otherwise. Reason for selling, looking to offset kids’ college, but can find other means, just don’t like debt, and I have only been driving the car about 1K miles a year. Not excited about it, but practical...

I took some points out of a power logger file of a 1/4 mile run from zero seconds to 11 seconds (that was the 1/4 ET) in 1/2 second intervals. Just goofing around, but it gives a picture of what is happening through the run. Power is just a form of F=MA per time. So, the power actually...

Since my car is a street car I decided to do something with the crankcase evac system. Got tired of the fumes and oily breathers (like many others). I hooked the factory PCV back up with the RJC check valve inline and put a catch can in, like a number of others have done. I bought a cheap...

You're a crazy conspiracy theorist, this is just to flatten the curve.

I am not a fan of the french, but Grey Goose is my favorite vodka! I love a good martini. I deny myself the pleasure for months at a time because I really could drink a few every day. To the vodka drinkers, what is your favorite vodka? (P.S. I am on my third double as i write this. I love...

I have noticed that I seem to tickle the knock retard a little bit with no discernible pattern, and maybe more so than others with what I would think are similar conditions. I have noticed that it seems intermittent and does not seem to be affected by timing or boost changes. In the past I...

If you need your injectors cleaned and flowed, send them to Chuck.

Finally, a real spring day in upstate . Fajitas on the grill and margaritas!

If you look at the following thread you can see I had a crank failure which took out the block. The block around the rear main was blown apart, so it put a fair amount of stress on the torque converter. Flywheel was thrusted toward the trans and the flywheel is bent. Anyway to do an...

I will post more details as I get them, just passing along my experience. I have a stock short block, that I have disassembled and checked, reassembled and have run for a while. This has been a hobby and learning experience for me just to qualify. Short block had a 110K miles on it, around...

I would like to hear some expert opinion on crankshafts. A lot gets bandied about, but experience is extremely valuable. I have some basic engineering understanding, but would like to hear what has worked and under what conditions. The choices are cast, forged, and billet. Cast is the...

Looking to get some converter numbers for those willing to post. Looking only for 1/4 mile numbers. Even though it may not be the perfect way to check slip only interested in time slip mph and logged rpm. This is a good way to see converter performance. My next one will be a NLU, but would...

I'm not looking for performance improvements at this point, just some discussion if anybody has some information. For the turbine housing A/R calculation, the area used is the area right at the tongue entering the volute. Also looking at the housing, it has what I would call a “radial nozzle”...

I am adding some more info to continue communicating my opinion and experience. Bison had recommended a few things to help me dial in my combo in the last thread. Logging alky pressure was one of them, which I will add that feature in the not to distant future(should have done this already)...

This is just some thought for the winter season, even if I knew exactly how to do it, I don’t have the money or expertise to build it. But anyways, for discussion here is something to think about. Fluid couplings are routinely used in industry with variable speed control. The fluid coupling...
