  1. Kurt Urban sells a kit to use them all, he says it evens out the hot spots in the head. or you could make your own our of a vette one
  2. what kind of pump are you gonna run next??
  3. pretty sure only the super high end carbon fiber bikes are still made here, the rest are made in china (my brother just got a super nice alum trek and the first thing he had to do was pull off the made in china sticker ) My old trek 520 is american made I believe, but its 20years old I do like to buy american. I do not shop at walmart b/c of this and would rather drive than support a company that's mission is to destory small businesses. I have also started to buy my clothes second hand, I would rather support the salvation army than a crappy 'over seas' company.
  4. I only bring up the recaros b/c a guy local just got a CTS V wagon and this was his only issue and then a guy with a coup said the same...seems like a market to devlop a better seat mount I have high hopes for the direct injection stuff...and the direction GM is heading.
  5. I have heard the oppsite and they seem loose compaired to factory seats... Nice choice, looking at the 2011's myself but they are a hot car now, so many guys are getting them(vette owners, M3 owners, BMW guys...) Good addition, it suits your tastes better than a SUV
  6. same happened to my astro van (GM window) and I took it to our local junk yard that does window repair...dumb luck that it got broken out, and when I had it repaired they fixed that part too...think it was $140 and that was with a new motor, you just need the window. good luck, I would take it to someone who deal with windows regularly, what I thought was going to cost over $200 was alot less...
  7. Zippy sent me a link with a version so we could work on my tune, I wonder if there is an old version around. So with the old cable, you are limited to a certain version?? and would need an old version to load?
  8. have you tried to upload it from the site with your serial #?
  9. great times 'out west' as us detroiters say. 10-september 03 wow. so much tech was/is happening with the LSx motors...and our 6.0L is just that much better than any LS1 config.
  10. I lost my grandfather this year. She will be in my thoughts.
  11. jfyi this is the chinese kid geting run over. not for the faint of heart or parents. thats f'd up.
  12. there was one on PT.net that was turbo and AWD it was the biggest sleeper!

    nice times. good work, now dial it back and enjoy.
  14. I am no tuner and my experence is all NA...so dont listen to me You set the hard points of data you have, size of new TB. Then you model the air/fuel with a wide band to see how it has changed. Then maybe a set of Baseairflow (cold P and D) Are you using your maf? or SD? Waiting for Kevin...he's the one I do want to hit the track but I still cant drive b/c of my back surgery, If I am lucky I'll try to hit the last one, think I am clear to drive by then.
  15. the ETC scalar. and I would update the VE since this is part of the air tract.
  16. the volvo is an 1984...its a brick car. When they were known for their durability but I like the direction you guys are pushing me. thanks

    My Mule Project

    And is it driving?? Convince me to throw out my FI dreams and stay NA Does it cool off any in Arizona in the fall??
  18. AWD. its what sold me on the truck. and now I just love the confidence I get from it.
  19. I have the bug...I could start on the SSS or I have my eye on a volvo 244 turbo Innercooled. What would you do?? I am bored and need something to get me thru this winter. I have also started to think budget stroker? If I turbo the SSS I would build the stuff myself, run a S475... If I get the volvo it would be a daily driver/beeter. Its a cool car because it is the first year of the IC, BUT it has some engine issues so I would have to pull it and find a JY replacement and then start to play. I know alot of this is my back and not being able, but over the winter I need something to work on, build, make... Thanks in advance -joe
  20. I'll post more later. had a Lumbar Microdisectomy. The pain is gone Now I just have to be board out of my f'n mind for 4-6 weeks.
  21. welcome. you have some cool GM guys over there. what is that one p lace Starr??? that does some sweet lysom blowers?? good luck on your hunt.
  22. that cam, depending on the lobes, is similar to mine. My cam is Livernois stage I. Unless you are planning on going to more displacement I would not invest in a P&P. I would put that money into your fuel system.
  23. log it and get an updated tune. I bet its a 'safe' tune and when you go out in that heat its getting timing pulled.
