    Hi Brad The BLM'S go from 128 to about 131. I have changed my intake system to 3 inch from the K & N filter to the MAF. From the Maf to the throttle body is still stock with the little piece connected to the oil tube. Should this piece be upgraded to 3 inch? Randy

    Not much boost.

    This is my stock wastegate unit. We just threaded it to make it adjustable. If I recall my boost was about 5 lbs. I might have the boost gauge in the wrong spot. I have it t-d in the line that branches to the boost unit on driver's side. How do you test if the wastegate is shot?If its shot it...

    Column to floorshift conversion

    Go buy the shifter, the instructions will guide you throught the process. Everything you need will be in there. The shifter cable is far superior and the conversion takes a while but the results are rewarding. Do a search in the forums like I did to keep the linkage to move your gear selector...

    Fan clutch replacement

    Knock sensor removal

    I have had knock issues before and usually from low octane fuel. My aftermarket sensor seems to work as it would go to red right away plus you could hear the knock. I would then quickly take my foot out of it. When I upgrade my fuel octane I still get a visual sometimes but just the first green...

    I have an aftermarket knock sensor installed in my '85. Is it ok to disconnect my factory knock sensor? If I watch my scanmaster at WOT I get a knock indication but nothing from the aftermarket unit. I do not hear any engine knock. I am running 94 octane with some VP C-12. Any direction...
