    Rebuilding/upgrading engine - feedback on buildsheet please

    Greg told me the beefier push rods tend to settle the drive train down a bit as well. These aren't hi-revving engines anyways so focusing on lightening the valvetrain isn't that big of an issue. Beehive springs, titanium retainers & locks as well as SS valves seem to be the most logical...

    Cream-puff goes Pop

    Absolutely Jack. I know during cold start, the stock PCM tune transitions from start enrichment into closed loop way to fast forcing my idle to drop before the "cam" is warmed-up. What I need is about 1500 RPM until engine temp is 140+ and then drop idle to around 850. I can pull about 15...

    Insurance madness

    I'm in Tampa Florida and had a simple fender-bender when the neighbor backed out right into my parked sedan on the curb. I had USAA, she had ALLSTATE. ALLSTATE paid 100% but USAA also stated that I could have filed a claim against my collision policy (for instance if it would have been a hit...

    DIY "KNG" Diffuser Blades Write Up

    Wish I could view the pics here in the office. Gotta hate the Gov't internet security team we have..but then again I shouldn't be browsing this site during work either...He He He.

    Rebuilding/upgrading engine - feedback on buildsheet please

    Discussed cam stuff with GG and he gave me some guidelines and a link to the various cam lobes available on the Comp Cams catalogue. Called Comp Cams and discussed lobe options with their tech support and developed a custom grind that could be used with either solid rollers or stock lifters. I...

    Cream-puff goes Pop

    Well, I went with with what GG recommended for the most part given the limitations with the stock valves (can't get more than .600 total lift on stock valves)...114 LSA with moderate lift on the intake (.575), more lift on the exhaust (.598), and longer duration. I think my biggest issue is...

    Gauging Interest on Gen 2 Rear Diffuser Blades

    Looks great to me!! Sign me up for a set of four (4). Like most outwardly visible mods, it will make the Bow-Tie and BLue Oval crowd scratch their heads even more...Too cool.

    Definately send the $$ on the heads/cam and not the 2.8 upgrade. Love the 2.8, but you will realize more gains from the heads/cam.

    Rebuilding/upgrading engine - feedback on buildsheet please

    Very similar to my current set-up. -Diamond Forged (stock bore) w/total seal ring set (the $390.00 set) -Stock Rods -Same main/Rod bearings as you -Comp Cam Blower Cam w/modified stock rollers (Solid roller w/3/8 Trend pushrods/T&D RR) -Stock heads with ROE upgraded springs (mildly ported)...

    I would only switch to the bigger blower if you are desiring to get into the 10+ PSI range. And in all honesty, the 2.8 is still too small for the 488 motor since to get 13~PSI, I'm running the smallest pulley available (2.5 in) and spinning it to its max RPM. Belt wear is noticibly more due...

    Garage question

    I hear ya about certain neighborhoods. I lived in San Clemente Ca. where "car washing" was deemed as vehicle maintenance and prohibited. We appealed and got approval to allow car washing only on Saturday's. Simply amazing. I could go on with other prohibitions, but don't want to hijack your...

    Cream-puff goes Pop

    The audible detonation is pretty easy to hear even with loud motors and ambient noise. But from what I gather the inaudible detonation (on-set of detonation) can be destructive enough on the creampuffs to bust the ring lands well before you physically hear it. When I busted my creampuff, I was...

    VEC-II Abnomalies

    Well, the drama continues. Sean and I have been trading e-mails on this trying to figure out what I have. Apparrently, the driver box I am referencing is indeed required, but Sean indicates that there are also additional peak and hold driver boxes that can be plugged into the harness. He...

    Car running way rich....at times

    I think you are on the right line of logic Chad. I was recently messing with some generic universal "cheapo" 02 sensors and the engine just dumped fuel. I ended up putting in my old sensors and it started to run fine. I am running rear sims by the way. Not sure what to say on what sensors...

    Cream-puff goes Pop

    Its not like the ROEs are pumping 20-30 PSI of boost where outlet temps are really excessive. Even at the 13 PSI I'm pumping out (upper limit of the system), that equates to an additional 130 degrees of IAT above normal intake temps...so say in the range of 200-300 degrees respectively. I have...

    Johnny needs to check out Sammy's 2001 Yellow R/T with the ROE and many other goodies. You will not find a cleaner 01 R/T than Sammy's...I believe Ritchie is listing it for him.

    VEC-II Abnomalies

    Sean got back to me and it appears that I've been running the injector driver box for low impedance injectors on my high impedance injectors...so how about that! Didn't think that was possible but its been that way for years. Sean recommends I remove the injector driver box and try it. So I...

    Cream-puff goes Pop

    Yes it broke...it happens running on the edge. Bigger question is to troubleshoot why the W/M did not go on. Was it controlled by the VEC PWM feature? Separate Boost referenced switch? Separate window switch or progressive controller? Pump fail? Blah Blah Blah. Do you have a visual...

    Question about being photo'd / video'd in the Viper

    Chicks shapping shots OK...dudes checking out the car..not as OK...Understandable, but not cool...aka get a freaking life. I've had it all at gas stations, stop lights, and all places in between. At this point in ownership, I expect some gawking but have become immune to it. Unless some really...

    PROJECT: "HARDCORE ACR-700R" Has Begun

    Sorry for being a *****...I'm sitting in the Vegas airport waiting for my red-eye back to Tampa. Just goes with the territory after a long week in SIn City. Good luck with the build. Sounds exciting.

    PROJECT: "HARDCORE ACR-700R" Has Begun

    The "good wash" is the key to 700+ Hp. I know..I've been washing mine like crazy trying to get that number...and an excellent polish seems to help transition from closed to open loop tuning as well.

    A&C Performance

    Love stories like this. Should be the rule and not the exception. The girl in my office with a 2009 Honda had a rear wheel bearing go out and the dealer quoted her a charge of $381.00 to fix it. I looked at her warrantee and told her it was covered by her powertain coverage. She contacted...
