Why is your car running like ***? I thought everything was fine except for the tranny you were waiting to put in?

Can't wait for Saturday. I think we'll have a good turnout. I think I'm going to ride up to Steele tomorrow night. You can't miss my car with the vfn hood now.

THAT BLOWS.... maybe its just a pushrod.... Is it loud on a cold start then get quiet? Or does it clear up in rpms? I would pull the valve cover and check the rockers too

You hear nothing until the car gets up to operating temp, then you hear a nice knocking noise under a load from the driver front, yeah I gotta pull the valve cover off to better see what is going on. But if it is what I think it is, nothing I can do other then put thicker oil in it, or just pull the damn motor out and get it re-done. My racing days are over for now.

Got a bad vacuum leak somewhere. And its throwing my IAC off so it idles like crap, it doesnt was to stay running and surges real bad. Ill be there though.

I see Kent sold that hood! Looks nice... The only thing I didnt like about it was when Id be working on his car and I had to drive that thing I couldnt see over it.

Yeah, this hood definitely takes some getting use to. I like it, but it's borderline too big to daily drive. I'm glad I kept the stock hood for any road trips. I'm in the process of swapping that v-6 nitrous kit over to the trans-am. Just not sure if I'll run in to any problems or parts I dont have that I need.
