    Finally swapped in new PTC converter

    Suspension is stock other than a Helwig adjustable rear seat bar. I was trying to leave at 0-1 psi that trip the track prod was non existant for the even all street tires really tore the starting line up. Car hooks bettter at a stop light. Yeah seat time would help .

    Finally swapped in new PTC converter

    Sorry, changing jobs kinda has me out of the car game right now. I'm sure there are others going way faster than I with even less invested. I got in with some turbo Buick guys and they steered me toward the non lock trans when my factory one started to get soft on the shifts. I did drive the GN...

    MAF from my 96 Checy Vortec 350 for my GN

    I ended up with a spare MAF sensor for my 96 chevy truck and was wondering if it will work with the translator gizmo's in my GN. I am currently still tuning a stock unit without issue, but was thinking about upgrading if this MAF would work. It looks to be 3" and the plug is a three prong type ...

    13.7 with $1,000s of upgrades?

    This was my first time slip fwiw. Drag radials 23 psi with alcohol. Pretty similar combo. The sluggish start is killing et and mph. You did better mph wise from the 1/8 to 1/4 so the power is similar. Just need to experiment and get some tires. Fwiw I was leacving at 0-1 psi and spinning. I'm...

    Finally swapped in new PTC converter

    Not track time, but a true first drive. I tightened the TV cable 2 clicks for the drive and the shift points seem spot on now and much firmer. I do have to lift a little to let it shift to OD and it has to be over 45 mph which is ok with me just taking some getting used to . I could really feel...

    Finally swapped in new PTC converter

    I need to play with the TV I think I left it where it was, but it seemed to short shift 1-2 else it just spun hard and shifted. It was hard to be sure it did spin some but just a little in second kicking the rear to the side. No smoke just some short black marks when I hit it off idle as a test...

    Finally swapped in new PTC converter

    A couple of years ago I took my GN to the track for its first run. Ran 12.5@110. First pass down the track. Noticed shift light at 5200 was coming on about the 1/8 mile Or so... logs from turbolink showed about 23 % slip in the converter. So last year I orderd a PTC 9.5 from dusty. I had...

    Making boost at 60 mph at around 2000 rpm????

    Id think it would be running hot if it truly is running positive boost all the time.

    Leaking hydro boost hoses

    I got mine from Vanco power brakes. I have a unit on my TA that did the same thing under warranty and they fixed it for me. I just ordered a kit to rebuild it tonight for 41 bucks so I hop to get it fixed soon.

    Leaking hydro boost hoses

    update. The hose wasn't the problem after all it was the hydro boost unit itself. Leaking at a body joint behind the master cylinder . This makes twice this has happened ..... Now.
