Your, can you clarify your times, old to new. Your sig is messing my mind up. Please and thank you.

So replace the gasket and get back to the track. :judge:

Darn the bad luck!

even bolton cars shouldnt have those trash paper header gaskets in there. put the GM gaskets and push that booooost.

YOUR03COBRA8ME Apr 4, 2004 11:31 AM

well i used to trap average 87mph in the 1/8th now i went 91mph twice in the 1/8
i shut down just shift into fourth went the header gasket blew,on average hot n humid night i would trap about 110-112 mph usually i would run about a 12.8 average 12.7 best though now i miseed 4th and ran 12.7@112 so there is a noticable difference
plus i gained 4 mph in the 1/8 :drive:

when are you putting in the fuel system and upping the boost?

ZDOG Apr 15, 2004 08:46 PM

BlackCamaroSS02 Apr 15, 2004 10:23 PM

guess not i sent him 2 PM's and no response :(

ta12sec Apr 16, 2004 05:38 AM

Last I heard he broke his clutch.

smokinHawk Apr 16, 2004 05:51 AM

gosh, i think you need a tune even though its only 2psi. if your blowing head gaskets.

i hate to say it but i dont think the cost of the kit is worth the 4mph.
with just a cam and headers you can pick up over 10mph.

YOUR03COBRA8ME Apr 16, 2004 07:52 AM

i blew a header gasket not a head gasket Now i broke my Ram clutch i picked up 4 mph in the 1/8 on 2psi but the car is going to be tuned with 42# injectors and a inline with methanol for 8 psi
4 mph in 1/8 just on 2 psi the kit is worth it wait until i get it tuned then it will be really worth it!!! and on the 2psi on the wideband my air/fuel was 11.7-12.0 safe to me

I have just bought the STS kit for my Silverado SS we will be running 43lb injectors, larger in tank fuel pump a methanol kit with dual stage boost 7 on the low side and 9 on the high(this is when we will be shooting the methanol) hope to see some good hp gains and then take it to the track and see what we can through down in the 1/4

CHRISPY Apr 16, 2004 07:58 AM

are you running a bigger pump with the injectors? It would be nice to have a bit of a cushion if the methonal system happens to fail for whatever reason

smokinHawk Apr 16, 2004 09:02 AM

ok must have misread, sorry thought you said head gasket

a tune would be good anyway, i wouldnt go FI with out a good one.
