    Scanmasters worth a damn measuring full throttle shift rpm’s?

    Never really monitored rpm ‘s from the scanmaster. Under full throttle seems it’s a little delayed. Did a couple full throttle 2-3 shifts and one went as high as 49XX and the next 47XX. Stiffer springs are on the to do list. Just not sure the scanmaster is reliable in that sense.

    Console arm rests

    I remember seeing not that long ago a shorty console that you could choose different size/style/color cup holders. Can’t seem to find them now. Any idea who that was?

    Larger vacuum tube size to gas tank vent canister?

    Sorry. I was quick searching and came up with nothing. Out running around now. Was going to relocate the gas tank vent canister and may need a longer tube from the hard line. Just wondering the size. Thanks!

    Options for air filter/ vapor canister relocation

    I got the new radio installed and started piecing the intake back together. Well I cracked the stock mass air. I have a whole set up with a ls1 mass air but not sure what to do as what I have is just not going to fit. I could try to find a stubby filter and pray or try to relocate the vapor...

    Smoking the engine

    Smoked the engine trying to find exhaust leaks. Found one pre turbo which wasn’t much of a concern so tightened the clamps. Moving ahead seemed to have a pretty good leak at he vacuum block. Don’t think it was from he gasket. Appeared to be coming from the pcv tube. Tubing is not that old...

    Had the T out for a bit

    Had the T out for a bit. Idles a little rough. Hiccups every once in a while accelerating. No full throttle pulls until I get that ironed out. But damn she’s a comfortable cruiser. Have been trying to clear my garage out to get it down here to start working on it but hell trying to clear the...

    Hey guys, At this point I’m considering just replacing the aftermarket radio with a nice stock one. Not dead set on it yet but wonder if anyone has a nice one for sale. I don’t have concert sound if that matters. Let me know what you have! Thanks! Erik

    OC MD car show

    Just got back. Not a bad bunch of cars there. Not really a turbo regal showing. Only 2 GN’s in the show. Nice guys. Did see a white limited T parked out of the show. As I was walking saw a real nice black T. Gave me a little bit of a show pulling out.

    Turbo advice

    Looking a bit ahead. Lost with all the turbos out there. Have quite a bit of maintenance I want to do before I start messing with turbo/methanol. Looking for a solid 400whp with some room to grow. Don’t want to sacrifice any drivability. Likely do the trans beforehand too. Racetronix pump and...

Will replace at some point. Really like the look of stock appearing radios but don’t want a trade off on sound if they really...

    Average repaint cost?

    Looking to have a proper repaint with glass removed and whatever else to do it properly. Car has some minor dings and scratches. Rust isn’t an issue. What’s a roundabout estimate to do this? I’ve was thinking I’ll have around a 10k budget.

    Ok somewhat confused with boost control

    Well I was under the assumption the chip had some degree of boost control capability. Not the case? I installed a TT chip set to 18lbs. Thing would run good under lighter throttle but would fall on it’s face sometimes under full throttle. I’m guessing too much fuel. Have a boost gauge to go...

    Delaware restoration shops?

    Playing with the idea of selling the Harley to get the T painted so my dad and I can enjoy a nice looking car instead of putting it off over and over. Any recommendations in the Delaware area? Thanks Erik
