ok guys i am trying to narrow down what really is wrong with my 87' WE4. i just had to replace the head gaskets about a month ago then decided it would be best to get it tuned. turns out i blew a head gasket because i was running about 35#'s of boost due to vacuume leakes and a faulty/wrong wastegate somone had on the car when i bought it. after i got it roughly tuned. holidays cut the tuning short (tuning was done by a local TR guy here with more experience then I) but the car during the tuning process started to basicly hit redline between 1st and 2nd gear and then slams into 2nd and shifts fine. but only when u really get on it.
now thats the problem now my question is i have been told (i havent actually had time to look since this is my daily driver to work and back) that the heads may be lifting under full throttle pulls. i torqued the heads down to only 60-65#'s i believe is what the paper i printed from here said.
my set up is a TE-44, 60# injectors (injectors put in after the tune), precision stretch stock mount intercooler, TT chip, 3" single shot exhaust, poston 3" down pipe, poston headers & crossover. the tranny looks new and so does the torque converter... let me rephrase that, the paint looks new on these items.
and lastly the car when trying to hold a steady MPH at certain speeds it shakes like it going in and outta over drive... the scanmaster tac shows a 25 rpm drop/gain when doing this. i think its only 25.
any help is always appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeremy
