    Aluminum air deflector

    This is made from .090 5052 aluminum and is water jetted for a nice finish. This replaces the stock plastic air deflector that is missing on most trucks. I left off the attachment point to the intercooler, as the two bolts that attach it to the frame seem more than strong enough. I could make...

    Cheap front mout intercooler install

    I have been asked about my intercooler setup a few times, so I thought I would post what I did. I have kept my A/C, and my stock fan and shroud. First, a few qualifications. My battery has been relocated, which is necessary for this to fit. This will require some cutting of the core support...

    Meth safety solenoid idea

    I thought I would try and use a factory boost solenoid to act as a safety device that would limit turbo boost to spring pressure only in the event meth flow is not detected. This setup should protect my motor by limiting boost if either I run out of meth, or if there is some sort of pump or...

    Boost solenoid

    I am looking for a cheap (or free) working boost solenoid that I can use to try to make a methanol fail safe system for my truck that will limit boost to spring pressure unless the meth is flowing. Let me know what you have.

    Dome pressure sensor

    This may be a stab in the dark, but does anyone have suggestions on a dome pressure sensor? I can use a MAP sensor or get a Holley hard piped pressure sensor. I am leaning toward the MAP sensor, because the physical connections would be easier and fit within my space constraints. I am looking...

    vacuum canister

    I did a search, but came up with nothing, so here goes. Has anyone used a vacuum canister to supplement the power brake booster? My specific example would be when drag racing, you have "pre-stage" and "stage". I can hold my brakes fine at the line up to 10 -12 psi if I rev the motor in...

    PTE 74Q BB turbo possible trade

    I have a PTE 74Q ball bearing turbo that I bought not to long ago that I may want to trade for a 60-70 mm range modern BB turbo. It has a PTE style exhaust housing (will not work with the stock downpipe). It will clear the A/C with a 5/8" spacer, and I installed and ran the turbo long enough...

    Too cool to spool

    Well, I can officially say that a 2800 stall converter is to tight to spool a 74 mm turbo. It was worth a shot anyway. The thing sounds and looks cool as hell, but I can't build any boost at launch, and it doesn't really kick in until I hit second gear. I know I could just get a 3500 stall...

    Front mount intercooler

    Any thoughts on this intercooler? I think I can make it work, but just tossing around ideas. It would be tight. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CXRacing-UNIVERSAL-FRONT-MOUNT-ALUMINUM-Intercooler-25x11x3-same-side-/161141553499?hash=item2584c8f95b&vxp=mtr

    WTB ATA intercooler

    This is a stab in the dark, but if anyone has a ATA intercooler with 3" piping, I may be interested. I have an old Turbo Time front mount ATA installed on my truck, but all the piping is 2". I know that RPM sells an intercooler, but it looks like all of the piping is not 3", and I know that I...

    Holley HP/Dominator TCC lockup control

    I thought I would start a new thread to show how I got the Holley to control my TCC lockup. I wanted the lockup to be tied to vehicle speed, and not just rpm and TPS like the default Holley setup does. Here is a picture of the TCC lockup screen that is pre-installed in the Holley. It does not...

    Front axle seal replacement

    After putting it off two years, I finally replaced my driver's side axle seal. The one that is on the diff that seals the output shaft. Adam came over to let me borrow is big sockets to remove the large nut that secures the drive axle to the hub (which it turned out I did not need), and he...

    Adam's Truck

    Adam left his truck over here at my house so he could do a few things to it on the lift. He is not here, and I really don't have anything else to do, so I thought it might be a good idea to go ahead and throw a muffler on it and not tell him. Anyone who knows Adam's truck knows how loud it...

    Holley knock sensor calibration question

    One thing I still have not figured out on the Holley is how to calibrate the knock sensor so that it will actually retard timing when knock is present. As far as I know, everyone running the Holley on our trucks just disables the knock retard function. Here is my idea. I will take a stockish...

    Why not chat?

    does anyone get on the "chat" any more? It used to be a cool way to converse. Just try it.

    Tallahassee show and shine

    Today, there was a small meeting of sy/ty's at Trans Am Depot. I paid the paint guy/buffing guy (Freeze) that works at the shop to buff the Syclone. He did an excellent job and the paint looks much better. Rob (Rob2000gt) and Brian (an aspiring member who has a nice clean '92) were there to...
