    RJC, could you pull off this bolt on vacuum pump for GN's?

    I use a catchcan inline between the PCV valve and the inlet to the vacuum block. It's a pint size paint can with homemade oil separation innards, and there's also a check valve inline so the paint can doesn't blow its lid under boost. Not as much vacuum as if I had hooked to the turbo inlet...

    exhaust clamp

    I bought one from Summit, I think the brand was Walker. Afterwards I found one at a local Truck Parts place that was just as good. Only advantage to the Summit unit was that the threads are integrated into the clamp rather than having separate nuts, bolts and blocks to fumble with.

    Propane / Nitrous questions

    I don't use a heater on my propane tank. Since the tank pressure will between 100 and 150+ psi depending on the outside temp (I'm in CA), I use the regulator furnished with my propane kit, to maintain 70-80 psi line pressure. There were five jets furnished with my kit, marked 70, 76, 81, 86...

    down pipe

    I had a ported elbow + Poston 2 pc 3" DP, and I just switched to a THDP. I haven't taken it to the track since then, but from what I can tell so far, there's not much difference. Definitely not as much as I had hoped, for the $450. But no more leak from that joint, and the THDP does let out...

    places to get smogged at in Bay Area, CA.

    There's a place near Vallejo I'm heading to in the next week or so. I don't know the guy's name yet but I'll let you know. In case you have problems with that Thrasher chip I have a 30# chip that worked well two years ago (pre-dyno smog test). Sent you a PM with details.

    Gas Milage

    Something to consider about propane... if you use one of the kits that come with the little 1.3 gal container - although U-Haul will refill for just the cost of the gas (costs me $2.90 to fill up there), most gas stations will charge a minimum of $7-$12 hookup fee. If you can figure a way to...

    Fuel Pressure Problem, Need Help!

    Return Line or maybe...Injectors? FPR? I had a similar problem - with the Accufab I would adjust it, then go out and romp on it a few times, then check gauge again which would now read 5psi higher or lower. Tried a new gauge too, checked return line flexible areas, blew it out, etc. because it...

    trans throttle valve cable

    Measuring just the sheathed cable portion, and not the ends where it clips to TB and Trans, the correct one is about 4 feet. Recently I needed a new one and my local Parts Plus store got me one that looked just right judging by the ends...but the thing was only 3 feet long. Went back and got...
