That’s from 93 had an injector go bad on a street pass heard knock and let off but by the time u hear it. Make sure knock sensor is 100% working. Had one fail. There is a torque setting that affects sensitivity! Old trick was Teflon tale threads to make it less sensitive…never do that. Mine is...- ITSAV6

I run the felpro stock replacement head gasket at 20 psi and 11.20’s in 1/4. No detonation is the secret. Some say the 84/85 head gasket is better…. Ran felpro 1000 for years on stock combo 20-22 psi. ARP head bolts since 93- ITSAV6

1987 Turbo T for sale
Title will state miles at time of purchase. If over 100k in GA at least “exceeds mechanical limits” should be checked. But it’s no guarantee it was filled out correctly. Great looking T GLWS- ITSAV6

Reapers GN update, looks good
None of those cars are on there. No trailers they do a cruise and drive to race spot. No big tires. LMR from Texas came with several F150 and a C8. It’s still a tv show. There’s several arses on there I wouldn’t piss on. Chief found out quick when they came to Lights Out here in Georgia...- ITSAV6

Reapers GN update, looks good
He also had a mini race car looks like a 30’s Ford with an n/a stage motor. Chief was and still is an ass. I just quit watching. Several of them have GN or TTA or both lol. Watching latest season with no chief and Murder Nova as race master and no tube chassis cars….wow much better- ITSAV6
