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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Is there a gasket that goes between the turbo and the header?? I couldn't remember when I put mine back together so I used an exhaust gasket that I had laying around. It fit on the studs but it's leaking like crazy! I didn't use a gasket between the turbo and the downpipe and it doesn't leak. If...

What are the benifits, if any of gutting the MAF? Does it just mean taking out the screen?

How much stall do I really need for a street car? I've got a 2800 stall but I don't like the way the car shifts at normal street speeds. It just feels too sluggish in the low rpm. What do you guys think? Or should I just get used to it? Thanks!

OK, My new tranny is in. It's not a top of the line unit but it was built by a guy that's got a lot of experience with the 2004r. I also got a 2800 stall converter to go with it. I've never run a stall converter before so my question is what is the best way to launch the car with this converter...

Here's the deal. Just got motor rebuilt and a new tranny installed. The car sat for about three months. While the motor was out I installed a vacuum conversion kit. Now the car is running but when I drive it the brakes get stuck. It's fine for the first few minutes and then the car starts to...

Sorry to be so long but some details might help with a diagnosis. I finally got the new motor in and just installed new tranny today. All is great right? WRONG!!! After the tranny went in car wouldn't start. Dead battery! Went and got a new one. Drove the car for about 20 miles or so. Ran good...

Looking for opinions on this one! I was offered a powerstroke intercooler cheap, less than 100 bucks. I just had my motor rebuilt and the tranny is being refreshed as we speak. Put on a pt52, 009s, 3" DP. powerplate, Walbro 340, regulator and who knows what else. But my intercooler is stock...

Has anybody out there had any experience with TCI transmissions? Are they any good for our cars? They quoted a price of 1269 for their 2004r. They advertise it as being upgraded from stock and comes with a one year limited warranty. What do you guys think??

Just wondering what other transmissions guys are running in their GNs or Turbo Ts. I'm thinking about doing a swap. Which trannys would work? Turbo 400, Turbo350, 700r4???? And if so how much modifications would be required? Thanks.

Well I finally got my rebuilt motor put in this past weekend. Runs great, just needs tuning now:D. Now the problem, the tranny doesn't budge! No forward, no reverse, no nothing. It was working fine when I took it out when the motor went. I've replaced the filter so that's not it. I'm using the...

Finally got the new motor in the car! Now I have a couple of questions. I got the car to run and did the recommended cam breakin procedure, 30 minutes at 2500 to 3000 rpm. The car got extremely hot. Headers were glowing red on both sides! IS THIS NORMALl??? Also, I tried playing with fuel...

My motor is finally done. I'm gonna do the install myself in my garage. I've waited a long time and spent quite a few bucks on this thing. My question is what do I need to look out for on initial startup. I know to crank the motor with the orange wire disconnected. What about cam breakin? I've...

I bought an ATR downpipe and test pipe. It did not come the gasket that goes in between the test pipe flange and the flange on the exhaust pipe. It is a 4 bolt flange just like the stock converter. Any idea where to get this gasket?? I've checked my sources and no one has one...
