So, I was at a small car show in Faucett, MO over the weekend when a gentleman, likely in his upper 60's approaches me. He walks up to my engine bay, peeks in for a moment, slides his aviators down over his nose, and proclaims "I've had a few of these myself". I quickly sat down my spray bottle...

Good day, all! I have an opportunity to acquire a set of stock heads for a song. I thought it might be a decent plan to have a set to send off and get them worked over by a known, reliable person who can do good port work? The heads on my car, according to the previous owner, had some porting...

So, I've noticed that often under hard acceleration I can feel my rear tires "shift" torque from side to side. Sometimes, not.... sometimes, it will pull good and straight. But, before doing anything to the unit itself, (I've read that you can upgrade the friction plates to modify slippage) I...

Anyone familiar with these? I thought they were all black, but there's one for sale locally that is bare aluminum. Core is 24 X 13 X 4 (30" wide with tanks). This fella is very trustworthy, so I do not doubt it is exactly what he says it is... just doing a little research. Anyone know what...

Seems like one of the admins had mentioned that we'll be able to change our usernames at some point this year....Shane Grimsley, perhaps? Do we have an approx. date on this? Not at all being impatient, just want to make sure I don't miss the opportunity. Thanks!

Hello, all. I have an addition to the tired question regarding appropriate backspacing for rear wheels. 18 x 9.5 Boss 338 has a -4 mm offset, giving it a 5.03" backspacing. Searching for answers, I've found that some swear by a magic number of 4.5" on backspacing, while others say a larger wheel...

Looking for a fiberglass front bumper.... prefer painted gloss black, but would consider others. Thanks!

Hello, all. Since there is a good chance my heads are still equipped with stock valve springs (factory cups are still in place), I think I'll swap them out for a set of Comp 981's. Perhaps p.o. left them on for the break-in process with the new Comp 212/212 flat tappet cam? I dunno. My question...

Who can tell me what this little port is on my computer? It was there when I bought the car.... data logger port?

Hello, all. I'm experiencing a charging issue and I'm hoping it's simply coincidental, that I've made changes to the electrical system. I had an issue with my dual fans killing my battery (fan delay relay removed), so I pulled the 2 relays on my caspers harness to test them. One has 3 blue wires...

Hello all. I have a problem that has presented itself before ... but promptly went away before I could troubleshoot. Now it's back. I have intrepid fans with a nearly new caspers harness and relays, installed by previous owner shortly before I took possession 6 months ago. The fans, at some...

Hello, all. Just polished my intercooler pipes yesterday and thought I'd share the results. I still need to run some compound over them with a buffer to take out some of the swirl marks, but the hard part is done. I'm not sure who makes these, but they had a chalky, dull coating on them, and the...

Hello, all. I'm going to go ahead and sell my GTA wheels because I don't feel like I'll ever use them. They are 4 fronts and spokes were originally gold, some spots are flaking a little and should be touched up. Other than that, they just need a good cleaning. Front tires are Kumho Ecsta...

Hello, all. I'd like to ask about timing with e85 because I'm reading both ends of the spectrum here. Currently, my chip is tuned at 22*/22*, and I've not changed it, ever. I've been told that e85 needs more timing and that 22* is too conservative. I've also read that e85 doesn't benefit from...

I'm sorry for what is probably becoming a pain to see on this forum, even in the short time I've been around here, the search function has yielded many posts on the subject.... but, isn't it kinda fun? Without acting like this is totally for your benefit, I'll simply say this is to satisfy my...

Made 2 passes last night for the 1st time since I bought this car. Bugs seem to be getting worked out, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Kept it safe, 23 psi, 22*/22*, 10.5 a.f.r. on e85. Soft launches at 5 psi with a bit of spin en route to a pair of 1.7 short times, because I had no way to...

Hello, all. Considering switching to an external wastegate setup. What are the proven systems, and, does anyone offer one with a o2 bung already installed? I currently have a g-body parts 3" downpipe with stock manifolds, but I may switch to aftermarket headers one of these days. Thanks in advance.

I feel like it's never too early to gather info and educate myself on something I will embark on in the future, so here I am. I've used the search feature with some success as I feel like I'm really narrowing it down to a couple turbos. Next spring I'm planning on a turbo swap, and I'd really...

After owning my gn for a few months, and fighting through some tuning issues and neglect from the previous owner, I caught a light with someone yesterday. Unfortunately, I had turned my boost down to 20 psi (from 25) for cruising around. I had just dropped my son off at my folks house to spend...
