    Anybody ever break a FP gauge??

    I've been seeing some crazy fuel system problems lately. The car would lose fuel pressure and die while driving only to fire back up and run fine if I waited ten minutes or so. I ended up replacing the fuel pump and hotwire. Then I noticed my autometer gauge was showing zero psi as soon as I...

    How to mod gov. to drop shift point?

    My car shifts around 5500-5600 at the track according to my logs. Im pretty sure im giving up a lot of acceleration since i have a 200/200 cam and a baby turbo/stock heads. Would I be faster shifting around 5000 rpm? Could it be shifting high due to my loose ass converter? I read that you...
