Went to the local gathering last night at Jax. There was a crap load of cars there and some trailered ones
A crew cab SRT-10 Dodge pulled up, my buddies were egging me on to run him, so one of them goes over and asked him if he was willing to runn the SS. He was more than willing 
He had no idea what I had, his truck appeared to be stock. We went down to a dead road, From a stop we both punched it, I pulled about a nose on him when he started to pull, so I hit the little button and left him by about 3 truck. We stop and lined up again. I signaled this time and he got a 1/2 truck jump (I was not paying attention) when I hit the button and pulled on him again. After the third run on the way back we were nxt to each other and he asked what I had done, I told him just CAI, exhaust, a tune, paused for a second and then oh yea nitrous, his face was like 
We got back to parking lot and strated to B/S, He was real impressed with the SS

I think Posi12bolt(brian) may try to buy this and fix it up! hahah Actually it looks to be totaled out, the front wheel is touching the door jam.
I bet he would
It's already his two favorite colors red and black. All he needs now is to put a black front end on it, say maybe from an xlr.
Now thats just good comedy -
HOW TO SPEAK ABOUT WOMEN AND BE POLITICALLY CORRECT:
1. She is not a "BABE" or a "CHICK" - She is a "BREASTED AMERICAN".
2. She is not "EASY" - She is "HORIZONTALLY ACCESSIBLE".
3. She is not a "DUMB BLONDE" - She is a "LIGHT-HAIRED DETOUR OFF THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY".
4. She has not "BEEN AROUND" - She is a "PREVIOUSLY-ENJOYED COMPANION".
5. She does not "NAG" you - She becomes "VERBALLY REPETITIVE".
6. She is not a "TWO-BIT HOOKER" - She is a "LOW COST PROVIDER".
HOW TO SPEAK ABOUT MEN AND BE POLITICALLY CORRECT:
1. He does not have a "BEER GUT" - He has developed a "LIQUID GRAIN STORAGE FACILITY".
2. He is not a "BAD DANCER" - He is "OVERLY CAUCASIAN".
3. He does not "GET LOST ALL THE TIME" - He "INVESTIGATES ALTERNATIVE DESTINATIONS".
4. He is not "BALDING" - He is in "FOLLICLE REGRESSION".
5. He does not act like a "TOTAL ASS" - He develops a case of RECTAL-CRANIAL INVERSION".
6. It's not his "CRACK" you see hanging out of his pants -It's "REAR CLEAVAGE".
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST:
"STUPID PEOPLE" are now just "AWARENESS IMPAIRED".

Its the blower control module, the relay is built into it. It will short to power and keep the blower on, you can pull the fuse for now. GM has had this problem ever since they came out with it in the 80's.
They will come on for a few minutes after the key is shut off, this is to dry the evaporator so mildew does not build up on in, this is only on automatic A/C sytems.
-
I'll bring my truck down there, I have few chips in the hood and need to get it fixed anyways. It only a few hours from me.
-
I'd say closer to a 200shot with those mods. I run 12.7 and have full exhaust, tune (for nitrous) e-fans, 160 stat, CAI and that was with a 125shot. I'd say hes pushing it if thats all he has for mods.
-
Yea thats what they are using, if you swap the heads to the GM LS2 cnc heades and their hot cam, they claim it has over 500hp and 500lbs of torque. That will be an up grade in the future
-
Sorry if I confused ya, it is the LS1 crate engine I was just comparing the hp of the LS2. It was fuel inj. I swapped to the carb.

Tony's a cool guy...I was just over there last Friday and we dyno'd my 240SX (338rwhp at 12psi, 2.4liter DOHC motor).
Are you local to Orange Park?

I'm gonnahave him dyno my Firebird when its done.That GT was at SEMA this last year painted with black stripes and flamesI dont think that car was was ever black with flames, it came red with the white stripes. Its not the onlt GTTT out there
Stage6, the other shop that was in on that build was the place that dynoed my SS
It is the same car, look it up on turbofordgt.com I spoke to these guys at SEMA they had the video playing on a screen of it losing control on the track and it had the white stripes in the video and they said they had it repainted for SEMA.
I was not aware of that, the last time I seen it was around that time. They must have did it just before it went up there.
-
That thing sounded great. Do you know how much power that thing is kickin out?
I'm estimatind about 425hp to the wheels, a freind of mine has an 84 Olds Cutlass with a similar set up (LS1, single plane intake, detuned 650 holley, 700r4, 3.73's and flowmasters) putting 383hp to the wheels. I have the dual plane intake (sinlge is for modded LS1's his is stock) 650 Speed Demon carb, full lenght headers, 6spd tremec, flowmaster exhaust, and 3.45 gears. I'll be happy with anything around 400hp, the GM crate LS2 carb set up is 440hp. It has the 2 1/2' single exhaust which will be changed to dual later and the ignition box will be swapped out with the new MSD programable box and coils later when more money come in.
cant wait for some burnout out vidsYea I dont think the tires that are on there will last very long
-
It was a 94 Gen I lighting with a 351w and a powerdyne supercharger. They are pretty quick when you put a s/c on them, I built one for a friend once. They come n/a stock with 240hp a stock SS would eat it up. let him play with a SS with a radix and he'll get his ass handed to him

ask tawws I believe he is a gmtech. He has been busy lately building his firebird (or transam?) anyways he checks in from time to time.
Yea It's taking up soem of my time
OK, hope this helps. First of all, if there is gas running out of the vent tube or canister, the canister has fuel in it and it shouldn't. This means it is saturated and needs to be replaced. There was a service bulletin back in 2004 for the P0446 that involved replacing the canister with a new design. The bulletin number is 03-06-04-037 and the canister part # is 15175906 and bracket # 15175907 is required to install. That is the first thing that needs to be done. Then there is a newer bulletin # 02-06-04-037B that addresses the cansiter vent valve being restricted, normally by dirt. I have replaced these before. What happens is it gets dirt in it and sticks open or closed. There is a kit in the bulletin, part # 19152345 which is a new valve and a remote filter assembly that is to eliminate dirt intrusion into the valve. This is the next thing that needs to be done. If they just replaced the vent valve with one just like what came off, it won't fix your problem. I would find out if they installed this kit or not. Hope this helps you out. Oh yeah, be prepared for attitude when you whip out some bulletin numbers and part numbers on them, we love it when a customer comes in and tells us what is wrong with their vehicle. LOL!! CNE is right, there should be no gas in that line. If the canister is fuel saturated it will feel heavy, with it off tilt it on end to see if any fuel drips out. What I have seen that causes this is people who top off their fuel tanks (this does not allow room for the fuel vapors) and stuck fuel tank vent valve (also caused by topping off) If the valve is stuck it allows raw fuel to enter the canister, thus cause it to clog up and the vent solenoid cant vent. This DTC is only ran above 1/4 tank and below 3/4 tank and must meet certain perameters to run not necc. 40 drive cycles. I'm leaning towards a stuck fuel tank vent valve (on top of the tank), but it is hard to diagnose a vehicle this way. -

Congrats man, that's awesome - I also fired-up my old Firebird this weekend too, first time it's run in 10 years. Same result as your car, would not stay running! I need a fuel pump and starter solenoid of all things. It sounded a lot better than I remembered!
Mr. P.
Mine would stay running but I did not let it, the cooling fan and gauges are not hooked up. I may do that this weekend.
I'll have some video and sound clips the weekend. i'm just backed up a t my shop with customers vehicles and dont have time to play with it during the week.

Yea I saw it
That was an interesting episode, dude looses his car, buys it back, almost looses it again when the vette blows the motor. The guy with the Vette said "I look at it like I just sold a car with a blown engine for 32k"
