    Rent me your car in Orlando $2500/one day

    I am taking a group of managers to Orlando next week and we want to do some racing. We can rent the track for a day, but we need a car or two and someone willing to give instruction to a group of 11 of us. # of runs and price is negotiable. Anything that can run a 12 flat or less would be...

    Crazy Scanmaster Numbers, pls help

    I just put it on a new Scanmaster last night. Install was easy. The knock readout seems to be working. I got it to read 2 degrees for a flash by hammering it from a roll, otherwise reads 0 at 20 lbs boost. The O2 MV is all over the map. It reads like a random number generator at one...

    tuning question

    I borrowed a scan tool yesterday and started tuning. Baseline with 100 octane unleaded was 15.5 lbs boost, 0 degrees retard and 900 MV. As we turned up the boost, the MV went down about 15 mv per pound. We stopped when boost was peaking at 20 and settling in at 19, with 840 MV, and a...

    safe boost level on 100 octane?

    I am running 100 octane unleaded. On 93, I got flash of 2 degrees that quickly tapered down to 0 to 1 at 16lbs boost. I don't have a scanmaster. Should it be safe to go to 20 lbs?

    head casting #pt#b25505900 k-22

    Is this a 3.8 turbo head? It does not match the casting numbers that I got off www.gnttype.org, but from the picture comparison, they are a match.

    ported irons/GN1 aluminum or go alchohol?

    I am trying to choose between GN1 aluminum or ported stock heads(with matching intake), or just going with an SMC alky kit(progressive) and pumping up the boost. From my previous experience, I am inclined to go with the heads, as they are maintenance-free once in the car. I can also get more...

    happy with my RJC powerplate

    I just replaced worn valve springs and put on a powerplate at the same time(I know, I know, always do one mod at a time!). The springs took care of the 3000rpm and up power on my 140,000 mile Turbo T. The plate really seemed to help with quicker spool up and drivability. Almost as soon as...

    intercooler shroud...what size screws?

    Anyone know what size screws hold the plastic shroud to the stock intercooler? I took the i/c off to clean, put it back on, and a couple hundred miles later noticed they were not there. I guess no more beer while working on the car. Thanks

    I have an 87 Turbo T, solid roof, dig dash, buckets, black with lots of chrome, including the stainless plates at the bottom of the doors. It is time for a repaint. Does anyone think that removing all the chrome when I have it painted will hurt the value? I am not trying to make a fake GN, I...
