Bought a house, had to park the old girl for the last 5 years. Holy cr@p things have changed :biggrin: So many new products and so many varieties! I know the rings have far exceded their life expectency, and I know its time for some freshening up. But I don't want to spend a load on the long block and then another load on replacing my probably outdated bolt-ons. Looking for up to date "recipe" links/suggestions/used parts to put this tired black horse into the mid 11's on a diet budget.

First thing is upgrade your chip to a recent burn www.turbotweak.com you will be happy with it.

Motor noisy at all?

comp/new burn
Good point, haven't updated the chip since '00 or so. Never checked the compression, lots of blown by under high boost-oil all over the a/c box and pass wheel well. Engine's very quiet, considering. Just some mild rolling valve train noise. Oil pressure; 50psi cold about 20psi hot (idle). Believe me, I'd really like to just put a in set of rings and seals, just does't seem likely. Also looking for real comparisons of alky vs. propane kits. stock intercooler vs stretchers vs dutt necks.

I would do a compression test to see what you have.
Make sure PVC is not stuck causing a blow by.
Alky, Turbotweak chip, and a Large Neck IC are good street MODs.
Might have to watch your injectors if you upgrade to alky.
I have this setup on one of my cars but do run 50# injectors.
Have not been to the track so I don't have any times.
