    Fuel setup to support 800rwhp

    Ok, I am in the planning stages of my LS swap. Car has been on E85 since 2010 with a walbro 255 and 60lb injectors and I'll fight tooth and nail to go back to 93 octane. I love this stuff! The fuel system is where I am flat out lost though... everything else is straight forward to me, but I am...

    I'm finally doing it... need some advice.

    Well I finally have decided I can't bring myself to mess with the 3.8 anymore... I'm always worried about it, and I know if I nuke it I will have to shell out $5000+ to fix it. So here goes, I am now putting together a parts list and I need advice. Here's my tentative plans: - 4.8 or 5.3...

    7th injector?

    So the 7th injector setups were before my time. I understand they were used to add fuel because 0f the lack of high flow injectors back in the day, but with alky injection now being a staple in the TB community and E85 gaining popularity with just about anyone who tries it I think there could be...

    Chassis shop/Roll cage?

    Hey does anyone have a chassis shop they've worked with in the DFW area? I'm looking for a 6pt bar at a "reasonable" price... reasonable meaning the work is worth the quality if you catch my drift. Not looking for anything fancy, just a clean simple install.

    Place to fix my headers?

    So I'm torn between shelling out the $750 for new replacement headers vs. having mine reworked. Thanks to e85 I know where mine leak as the leaks are highlighted white/gray. I've never had them off the car but I know my crossover doesn't seal all that well either and I have messed with it...

    Coolant in pan...

    Well after letting the car sit for 3 years after I got disgusted with it I finally made the time to get her back into shape. The final straw was me cruising down the street, a loud pop, and it died. It turned out all I needed was a new coil pack/ignition module. Before firing the car I drained...

    Has anyone tried a "stock style" layout?

    Has anyone built a set of stock style headers for a conversion yet? When I say stock style I mean where the DR side crosses over in the stock location and crosses over into a passenger side log manifold? I know it is less than ideal, but I am considering this setup so that I can retain A/C...

    Car backfired and died...

    Well yesterday was just one of those days... was driving back from the gym, driving normally, when all of the sudden the car backfired and died. It still cranks, but doesn't even try to fire. So what do yall think? Spark or Fuel?? I've never dealt with coil packs or the ignition module, but...

    Protective seat covers?

    Good morning guys! This may genuinely horrify some of you, but I like going for rides with my two dogs. They both really enjoy riding in my GN as well as they are both perfectly sized so that each one can stick their head out either side and sit on the back seat. The only issue I have had is...

    Spent the day doing the rear suspension...

    Well I'm just happy my hands are in good enough shape to type. Got starter yesterday around 2 and worked until 7, and then again this morning at 10-8 tonight... I'm wore the hell out. That all does include breaks and parts store trips to get things like new suspension bolts. Damn 1/2in...

    Lightest 17/18s... Starting a "mile racer"

    Well I've decided that I am going to begin my TX mile car. I am going to start with a standard regal (unless I get a hell of a deal on a TR roller) and throw a 4.8 or 5.3 LsX and twin 76s in it... My goal is 200mph in the Texas Mile (I've got a "hidden goal" of doing it for under 12,000$ too...

    Upgrading electronic componenets?

    Hey guys, I've got a nice chunk of change that I am about to put into the car and I'd like some direction. This car is NOT a drag car, it is a DD/tinkering toy that I might take to the track here or there. First, I love my car on E-85... I just can't imagine going back unless I went with...

    Installing new motor mounts... WTF?!

    Ok, I have now found my new least favorite part to install on any vehicle ever... MOTOR MOUNTS! Seriously, this has been the most exhausting removal of any part ever. I've never pulled the engine on this car, but for some reason there is virtually ZERO access to the motor mounts. Even after...

    Got my turbo tweak e85 chip!

    If you dont want to read it all, there's a summary of my questions at the bottom. Im stoked, I finally decided to jump on the band wagon and run E85 all the time. I've been running mixtures up to 50% for several years on and off and loved the stuff. I needed to get the car through emissions one...

    PCV questions, High BLM, Oil Leak.

    Well Im still chasing my idle BLMs... this morning I was at 133 at a stop light, but I've seen it as high as 137. I just installed a new PCV grommet from Kirbans, and a new 1162 pcv from autozone, but I still seem to be getting oil leakage around or near the PCV. The PCV valve is metal, and...
