    What can be used to clean carbon build up in cylinders?

    I have used GM's Top Engine Cleaner. Spray it in and choke with motor with it, let it sit overnight and then let it burn it all off the following morning. I know for a fact it works, because I used to get detonation from carbon hot spots on my pistons and after I used it the detonation was gone.

    Ran High 10's Today. Awesome Feeling!

    Re: Ran High 10\'s Today. Awesome Feeling! Great job D!!! I remember way back when, when you weren't a horsepower junkie. I think you said something like the car was fast enough stock. Glad to hear you are stepping it up! How did you end up sorting out the detonation problem?

    Black Smoke and Detonation On My GEN II

    Dimitrios, What everyone has failed to mention is how dangerous it is for your motor when you hear detonation. At higher RPM's and higher boost it only takes seconds or not even to blow your motor. Your new pistons are good, but detonation can eat up anything. Your rod bearings also take a...

    Re: Tator\'s Dodge Tech Session this coming Saturday.... Tuning on the road? Not that it's a bad thing, that's how I tune mine, just a lot to watch out for in these parts.

    Re: Tator\'s Dodge Tech Session this coming Saturday.... Does Chuck have a Dyno? Can't make it this weekend, but I hope a bunch the NY/CT guys take advantage of the guest speaker/tuner, so we can finally get some quick cars on the NY streets!

    Removed cats and resonators...

    Not going to get the sweet V8 muscle car sound with the Viper, I've tried different setups. Just learn to like what you have.

    Murcielago

    I hope he was trying hard, I don't see the point in lining up, hitting it and only going 3/4 throttle. I really couldn't say because I hear was my own car.

    Oh, and by the way for all you people who didn't like the story or don't believe or whatever, fu*k off. Just kidding. I posted it because I had fun. Told my wife and a friend, but most of my friends are not motorheads to say the least and I wanted to share with people who could appreciate my...

    Hey Charlie, How have you been! Seems like every time anyone is getting together lately, I have some place else where I have to be. The latest Hamptons run I was going to respond last minute that I was in, and as I was typing I got an email that a friend had a death in the family and the...

    Murcielago

    Freak2, Don't know what 3rd tops out at, I have 3.55 gears. I didn't check the speedo, too busy checking in front and my rear view, plus I like to keep an eye on my air fuel gauge when I'm pushing it. Black, I basically get to go back and fourth 15 miles each way in relative traffic daily...

    Murcielago

    It seems like I never get a chance to put my car through it's paces. Every time I see something worth racing, it's always the wrong time. I don't know how many times I've seen a hot car on the road and could have a potential quick race and my 9 year old son is in the car. Also, my car is so...

    Re: My Heffner TT Bumble Bee is for sale !!! So that's it, you are done with Vipers on the street. Are you going to build another viper drag car or some other type of car?

    I am having a hella of time taking off my crank damper...need advice...pic

    Re: I am having a hella of time taking off my crank damper...need advice... I would use a better puller. Looks like your threads are shot right where you they are going into the puller at least from the picture. Pulling it off should be a no brainer.

    Did I expect too much from my Viper and/or me?????????

    I know my son will probably race when he gets older. I'm a speed freak and he seems to have it in his blood. Hopefully he will be good and stay safe. Admit it, although you may be good or think you are, the level of danger goes up exponentially when you take a 450 hp or in my case 1000 hp car...

    Did I expect too much from my Viper and/or me?????????

    Don, Two comments. One, you never know what someone else has no matter what car. Two, let's not have any more racing with kids in the car. Maybe I'm just getting older and hopefully wiser, but even though I know I'm the best driver on the road, racing with the kids is a no no.

    got screwed by the dealer and arrow rebuild must read

    John, Did you look carefully at the other rod bearings? I would be interested to know if you can see any wear in the top bearings on the other rods.

    One for the math Guru's, show me your stuff!

    Re: One for the math Guru\'s, show me your stuff! I would use a piece of string, but I don't have the new pulley in yet. I wanted to have a belt here when I installed the new pulley. As it is, there is going to have to be a little fabrication to get this size crank pulley to fit. Anyway, the...

    One for the math Guru's, show me your stuff!

    Re: One for the math Guru\'s, show me your stuff! I guess the best way to test the calculator is to check it against what I have in the car right now and see if it's accurate. If so, I'm sure it will be accurate for the larger pulley. I will let you all know.

    One for the math Guru's, show me your stuff!

    Re: One for the math Guru\'s, show me your stuff! Thanks for the responses guys, I knew I should have studied in college. Tom and Avi, does the calculator that Jim posted work for you. If it's correct, it seems like a no brainer!

    One for the math Guru's, show me your stuff!

    One for the math Guru\'s, show me your stuff! I'm trying to determine what size belt I will need if I change the diameter of my crank pulley. I'm sure it must be a simple calculation, but I never studied! Here's the deal: Currently I'm using a 7.25" diameter crank pulley and a 2.75" SC...

    wideband for supercharger??

    I always use it. I use the FJO and keep a gauge in the car mounted in my left AC vent. Definately good to have as your tune can change with the weather. Also I noticed my car starting to lean out and it prompted me to change my fuel filter, which was really dirty.

    Methanol

    Just picked up 5 gal of Methanol and mixed about 60 meth/40water, but it's raining and can't test and tune. Supposed to rain for the next couple of days, what's worse than that!

    Water/Meth injection thoughts on Centrifugal chargers....

    I wouldn't do pre intercooler either. You will probably get water puddling up in there. You want to cool down the combustion chamber temps, so I would spray just before the throttle bodies.
