But I'm trying to Chase down a problem of sudden loss of power due to an intercooler hose blowing off at 20psi and think my timing is messed up now. This was a last resort test but I turned off my alkycontrol...

    Sputter and pop above 19lb boost RIGHT AFTER valve spring change

    Just had a performance shop change out my stock springs for comp 980's. Did not re-use the stock spring cups like everyone is saying. Heat cycled the springs and did a WOT run the next day. Runs up well to around 19lbs then start getting some sputtering and popping. NO KNOCK during this...

    Anyone interested in a Group Dyno run?

    My GN is at BSM Performance getting the valve springs changed out. The onwer said if I can get at least 3-4 guys to do a dyno session he'll give us a group rate and allow us to come in on a Saturday. Anyone interested? I think they use Dynojet and have wideband access if needed at a slightly...

    Possible scams on craigslist

    Of all the cars I bought I needed to physically see it and drive it. I have a massive amount of questions I ask the sellers and even go as far as asking them the same questions twice, you'd be surprised to hear how many times you'd get a diff answer. The only questions he had was shipping. Not...

I know the usual scams(overpaying for shipping and asking for a rebate, money orders, cashiers checks, out of state buyers, etc) on craigslist and also in person.

    MAP sensor red light to green illuminate light

    cool, I just did some test runs. Car seems to like setting #4. Went down to #3 1/2 and got a couple degrees of knock so leaving it at #4 for now. Running 21lbs as of now, maybe gonna go up to 23lbs max with stock turbo and use setting #5.

    MAP sensor red light to green illuminate light

    quip6, thanks for your reply. You are right, I forgot the setting needs to be on #8 when doing the test mode from red to green. I was doing it while the setting was on #5 and it remained red. I just re-did it at #8 during idle and it immediately went from red to green. so that solves that...

    MAP sensor red light to green illuminate light

    So I had a 2004 alkycontrol kit installed when I bought my 87GN. Worked fine until pump started to leak then system totally would not work shortly afterward. Bought an entire new Kit minus a MAP sensor since Razor said maps do not go bad. The old system was very poorly installed once we...

    Changing Valve Springs.....what parts to get?

    Ok, did some searching and seems like the comp 980's with no cup is the way to go on a stock or mild motor. What about the seals, retainers, etc. For those who did the swap, can refer the part numbers for the supporting parts? :) Im running all stock from the factory valvetrain with 60K...
