Use your scan tool and post the numbers at warm idle. MAF, BLM, INT, BAT, etc. A Powelogger file would be very helpful otherwise it’s a guessing game.

The tire selection for 16x8 rims is almost non existent. There are no 255x50x16 street tires available in my searches. Just some drag radials or 275 versions.

It’s great looking piece, but it’s very pricey. If you have stock plenum adding an RJC power plate will improve the air distribution for considerably less. GN1 claims there plenum improves air distribution, but I haven’t seen any data published verifying that. The gain here is you don’t lean out...

I found mine at the local Ace Hardware. They have a huge selection of brass fittings.

Why not buy a new pump w/strainer ? If you’re going thru the trouble to drop the tank anyway. The 255 pumps are not that expensive…

I ran a real Art Carr 9 1/2 Non Lockup converter in the early 90’s. Absolutely loved it on the street. Art was an innovative person and did a lot of great things for the Motorsport world. RIP Art..

Just replacing the Relay module may or may not fix your issue. The female connector terminals in the plug can be corroded or damaged which can cause intermittent contact. Here’s a better solution which is reasonable priced :

I had my GN completely stripped and repainted back in 2009. I bought new aftermarket urethane fillers front and back. The shop did a fantastic job on the car. But fast forward to 2020 and fillers are warping and distorting. The paint is still adhering but cracks are starting to appear. I’m going...

Yes, I believe it’s an old LT1 version. There very reliable I ran one of those for 20 years before it went flakey. Car began stalling with no MAL codes thrown. Replaced it with the newer LS1 version and solved my issues. I’m not saying this is your problem for sure, but worth looking at. A fuel...

What MAF sensor are you running?

I believe that’s not a Hobbs switch. It looks like Red Armstrongs volt booster. Besides you wouldn’t need a Hobbs switch for a single pump setup..

I would definitely suspect the relay is bad. Some kits mount the relay by the gas tank and there exposed to the elements. Had to replace my relay last year as it failed even though it was mounted under the hood. The funny thing about it was if I disconnected the battery and reconnected it the...

The GNX front wheel wells were modified to fit 245 50 16 tires. I think they replaced part of inner lower plastic panel with something else. I had a shop heat and reform that area to help clearance with my 245 tires years ago. They don’t rub anymore in full turns of steering wheel.

That’s what happened to my AC relay and Fuel pump relay on the passenger side front fender. That “tar” migrated into the contacts and created very high resistance on the power feed. They got so hot it melted the relay modules and they failed. Casper Electronics has really nice pigtail...

I used to have to that every other year here in Illinois. If i remember correctly, I had to unbolt my THDP at the turbo to slip the test pipe off and slip the converter back on. Thankfully, the state no longer requires pre 1990 vehicle emissions testing.
