    Anyone got 76 #er's to work ?

    Has anyone gotten the PTE 76 injectors to work on a street/strip car ? I've been having trouble w streetability, and maybe it's just too much injector. We have tried the newer 60 # Hi Impedance ones, and the Lo Imp 55 #'ers also. The 55 #'ers are on the borderline @ WOT, however, with ~ 95 % of...

    Fuel P goes up 20 # suddenly ?

    Been having this problem for at least 6-9 mos. Fuel pressure will run 38-42 # at idle and all of a sudden, it will go up to 60 # and stay there. An On & Off kind of thing. I have one of those Autometer Hi-Lo FP gauges with a sender. Not sure if it can get stuck on the Hi range. But they stopped...

    VSS, Electronic Speedo Connections

    When I 1st put my totally rebuilt Ty together, I didn't hook up the that little white box that's on top of the ECM, and of course I didn't have a speedometer. That's the electronic speedometer, right. Is it also the VSS - vehicle speed sensor ? Anyway there are the main connectors, and there is...

    SyTy Valvebody, Lockup special ?

    I got a MegaRaptor 700R-4 from PATC and didn't need a core - pretty good deal. However, now I'm thinking, did it have the right valvebody ? Does the SyTY 700 have a special Valvebody like the GN does (200) ? Also, from alot of the posts lately, it appears that the lockup feature has been...

    EGT probe location

    I have an EGT on my Ty and I installed it on my ATR Pass Header about 1-2" before it goes into the Turbo. When U get on it the temperature soars to ~ 1600 F and will go over that if U stay on it. We are wondering if that is a real temp. Is that where the EGT probe belongs ? Or should it go...

    Chip for 60 # Hi Imp injectors ?

    Hey, has anyone written chips for the 60 #' Hi Imp injectors ? I suppose they would need a Datamaster output, but even I have an old version of that, I don't have any files because I'm running on the Gen VII Accel ECM and I'm about to give up on it. Anybody to work w me on this ? Want to make...

    What controls lockup in the 700 ?

    I had my 700 rebuilt by PATC in Shreveport - the Mega Raptor. Seems pretty good, but it locks up way too early. Every time U shift into OD it locks up. Typically even at about 1000-1500 RPM and then it bogs like a bast*rd. What controls lockup, and when is it supposed to happen ? I understand...

    Getting hold of ATR ? Exhaust

    My shop mechanics have not been able to get hold of ATR for months, and yet one guy on the list said he just bought SyTy headers from them. Does anyone have a new number to get their stuff ? I want some GN exhaust from them.

    Int Man Gaskets & McCoy Heads

    I have the McCoy Vortech Heads from ATR with the marginal double gasket setup on the IM. U can only torque the damned thing to 10 Ft-Lbs. One of the gaskets has O Rings and plastic in it, so U just can't get any clamping force. I am having vacuum problems, and I don't think that the Vac ball...

    Probs w Cruise and Heater - Vacuum Probs ?

    I'm having problems w my Cruise not holding when the vacuum goes down and the fan staying on. Maybe because I have a cam that is a bit low on vacuum. So, when I am accelerating up a grade the cruise won't hold and it seems like the fan stops blowing. Anyone else have this ? Maybe I have a leak...

    Lockup too early ?

    I got a Mega Raptor from PATC in Shreveport a few years ago. I made so damned many changes in my Ty that I am still troubleshooting it. The trans seems OK, except when U put it into OD, it locks up at some ridiculously low RPM, and the car bogs like a b*stard. Then when U are decelerating, it...

    4.3 L, S10/S15 History

    Jason & Guys, I tried all of the above words in Search and got nothing. I remember a great article ~ 2-3 yrs ago summarizing the history of the 4.3 engine and the S10/S15 line and all the different years. I copied it, but can't find it now. Does anybody remember that one and know how to get to...

    Warnings on older Vortec heads, 76 #'ers

    Guys, I was all set to go to the Nats this year. Registered 6 mos ago and had my hotel room. I couldn't get my Gen VII tuned right, so I took it to an excellent local shop in Denver who had just done a great job rebuilding my GN. They are Engines to Go in Englewood. They were having the same...

    Max Injectors for Ultimate ?

    Hey Guys, I want a backup system for my Gen VII+, which I am not having much luck with. I think the 76 # injectors may just be too big. So, I was thinking of going down to something like 55 #ers, which our guys have programs for with the Ultimate chip. I hear there are some bigger injectors in...

    IC pump won't turn off w IGN

    I had hooked up the IC wiring to a switch so I could turn on the IC when I want. However, the IC pump comes on and stays on when I turn on the key. Some mechanics were fooling around that area. I installed one of those big Shurflow honkers.

    Amp Drain - Fuel P stays up !

    My batt runs down and I've been keeping a charge on. I think somehow juice is staying on (w key off) to the fuel pump as the fuel P stays up indefinitely. I can smell gas all the time also. Some mechanics had it for awhile, so not sure what they might have done. I had hooked up the IC wiring...

    Honking ? Master Upgrade ?

    Hey Guys, I am about to install my ABS delete kit, and still have my "honking" problem when I step on the brakes. I replaced my vac check valve. So, I guess it's the Vacuum reservior that I have to replace ? Also, while I'm doing all this, I still have the stock master cylinder w 100 K+ miles...

    Problems w Gen 7+, Ultimate OK ?

    Hey Guys, I guess nobody has gotten the Ultimate to work with 76 # injectors yet, huh ? I am trying to get my Gen VII+ ECM tuned up, but am having no luck so far, so was looking to use the stock ECM w upgraded chip as a backup. Having lots of problems and hardly know where to start. Anybody ?
