Intercooler/alky Thanks Razor, I'm not driving the car today anyway. I'm planning on starting my powerstroke install tomorrow so this one is coming off anyway. I'll post what I find when I pull it off.

Oops! Alky update Everything was going too good. The switch I was using to activate the pump crapped out today. The pump was running without boost. I pulled the hose from the up pipe to check it cause the car started bogging really bad. Whenever I revved the engine the pump sprayed! Bad:eek: So...

I just installed a DIY alky kit, using Steve Monroe's setup as a guide. For you Steve and all others reading this post, I just want to say thanks!! This stuff changed everything. I'm not even done tuning yet and I'm able to run 20lbs of boost on 91 octane pump gas with .54 degrees of knock...

new scantool numbers,good or bad?? Ok, made a few adjustments and installed my cold air kit. Took it for a ride to get some numbers. Fuel pressure is at 45 line off. This is from the WinALDL scantool. Ambient temp was 91 degrees and running 92 octane fuel. I'll get better gas as soon as this...

WinALDL Don't know for sure but I'm trying it out too. Mine showed 5.7 degrees a 3850 rpm:eek: I gonna borrow my bud's scanmaster and compare the two. I'm just breaking in a fresh rebuild so I haven't gone WOT just yet. I'm running 91 octane gas for now and it's right around 100 degrees here...

Crap!! I shouldn't have messed with it, but how else can a guy learn??!! I turned the fuel pressure up to 45 line off and went for a ride. BLM now 116 at about half throttle but drops to 90 when stopped at idle in drive. This time got 17 degrees knock at 3800 rpm:eek: Then I remembered...

But I don't care. This tranny I got is just not right. It's a non BRF tranny that I got pretty cheap. It shifts fine up to about half throttle. It's supposed to have a .500 tv valve, hardened stator, updated clutches, kevlar wide band and modified vavle body and a TransGo shift kit. It works...

Speedo Thanks MeanBuicks, I'll just let it wait for a while. Got bigger fish to fry trying to get it to run right!!

Scantool numbers Thanks guys. OKTurbo, unfortunately I have to work all weekend so I won't be able to make it. The 5+ degrees of knock has me a little concerned. I'm trying this WINALDL scantool so I'm not sure of the accuracy of the numbers. I won't have my scanmaster for about another month...

i just installed my new tranny. Now my speedometer is waaay off. It was reading about 20mph too high. So I swapped the gear with the one from my old tranny and it still seems high. It closer now than it was before I swapped it but still seems off. I hooked up my scan tool and it's within 3mph of...

I'm trying a new laptop based scantool and need a little help with my numbers. I'm breaking in a new motor so i didn't get WOT numbers, only about half throttle, cause I'm chicken! Here they are: WARM ENGINE AT IDLE: ON THE ROAD HALF THROTTLE LOAD - 33...

I just installed a "non BRF" tranny and so far so good. It was built by a Florida tranny shop and the valve body modified by them. Also has a Trans Go shift kit. Shifts are pretty firm but not as firm as I'd like. The shop says this is normal because of the 2800 stall converter, which came from...

brake problem Checked the star adjusters, replaced proportioning valve and went for a drive. Everything was good for about an hour. Then it did it again! I did notice that it doesn't happen if I stay out of boost! As soon as I got on it enough to build about 10 lbs of boost the brakes locked up...

launch It's a l/u 2800 stall. If you ckeck my post in the "Brakes" forum you'll see I'm having problems with my rear brakes locking from time to time. Could this be related ??

A/C Once again you guys were right on the money! Found the red wire for the high speed, cleaned the connection and it all started working. I also cleaned the connection on the pressure switch and now the a/c comes on every time. You guys rock!! Thanks for the help, now it's not so freakin'...

a/c Thanks URSPANKED and 1970gsx, I'll try what you guys suggested and I'll post results later tonight. Really appreciate you guys taking the time to reply!

This brake problem is going to make my head explode:mad: ! I posted about my locking rear brakes a couple of days ago and got responses pointing to a bad master cylinder. I bought a new one and the problem seemed to go away. No problems for a couple of days and today, it's back. It was fine...

Gasket Hey guys, I put it back together without a gasket and used some spray copper rtv that was laying around and it worked like a charm! Put 15lbs of boost and it held so I assume it'll be ok for a while. Thanks for the tips!

Need a little A/C help! My A/C works when it wants to. Sometimes when I turn it on the compressor won't come on at all. Sometimes if I rev the motor it will come on and sometimes not. When it comes on it stays on and the air is nice and cold. Also the fan doesn't work on high. It did this before...

Gasket Thanks guys. I'll try it without a gasket and see how that works. Sure is nice to have expert help at a moments notice!
