Maybe drop the Slush-O-Matic for a 5 or 6 speed. All the stall speed you will ever want.

Really, call the cam manufacturer. Few people know more about stuff then the people that make it. With out knowing that much about the motor. I would go to the safe side and say yes. Replace with at least good stockers if the Cam Man don't call for better.

First check to see what kind of clutch you have. It's not a silicon if it has a spring in the center. If so equipped. Losing/tighting this spring by 1/2 turn may help. I have read that this has also locked up the clutch. Just fine for short time us in my book. The stock clutch works just fine...

Only Renix 1987 to 1990 had knock sensors. ===================================== Thanks I don't know how you took you A/F readings but most just replace the O2 with a wide band. That will give a nice average A/F. Problem: Even with PFI some cylinders may still run a bit lean. Fine with a fat...

I think about knock? (alot) Do the 97s have a Knock censer? If not and you running a loud muffler be careful about ping as you lean it out.

What carb is that?

Lets just be different here. Unless you get real luckly like Dirtweazle. True drop in 258 cranks are a thing of the past. Most will need some work to get them to fit. All I6 blocks are getting old and if your putting out for a rework crank it would be a sad thing to put in in a block with...

How's this for a fly in your stuff. Is the reason for the HP bump above 3K (((JUST))) do to the ECU going open? Maybe it's that funny looking intake and the reworked cam that came with it. Lets see according my calculation they should kick in at about.............3k wow...

Ground triggering is often cheaper. Less wires, If the ECU was + triggering relays. The main power lead into the cabin would need to carry just that much more load. Maybe needing to be bigger. The ECU would need to carry and distribute this power. As is, it's a short and simple path to the...

Check your head and block insure they are true. Your head gasket blew for some reason. TRY to find it. Else you MAY be right back in the same boat soon. It may have been a piss poor job of cleaning/torque at the factor. A little dirt can do lot of bad things...

your 00 is starting to get old I would really think about replacing the pump or upgrading if bigger tires are to be.

regearing: do you like how it fell now or is it marginal or under powered to you. If so regear. You may need stops and/ot triming to make it work. steering: 33 is about the max for the stock set up with good TRE. Depends a lot on your type off offing too. you said your an easy goer. BUT that...

I had two 01s got them both new in Ohio both had pre cats.

I didn't know that "too much" drop in temperature through the radiator was a bad thing, ================================================================= IN MOST CASES there is no such thing as too much drop. BUT in a few raw cases if the income coolant is VERY low a Tstat will close cutting...

((((((IMO))))))))) The real problem is two fold. First them 2 dam pre cats and the cast iron manifold releasing tons of stored up heat well after key off. This heat generates excessive fuel pressure in the rail, injectors etc. 2. todays fuel systems with the regulator in the tank. That lets...
