That was a SawzAll, not just any saw.



What other way is there to modify your ABS system?

I suppose you could cut the brake lines but you don't build a customer base by wrecking their cars or blowing them up....

Around here, that depends on what you mean by "wrecking".

Ok, keep in mind this was once a solid block of aluminum. It was the output for the smaller blower. Also rember it has about 20,000 miles on it.

That is why I did not post it here. The s/c had nothing to do with my engine problem. We (Me, Jeff, Eric and Ray) feel that the overheating was the problem. When the temps here get to 117 or higher it is next to impossible to keep a FId car from overheating.

Had a few friends in to see what the problem was and we (actually they) found that each combustion track had lost 50psi. I started another thread about it and will keep up the thread as the engine is rebuilt.

Uh oh,
The tuning problem, that would not be long term fuel trims, would it?
No one can find why I am building such huge LTFTs.

I see a compression test in my future, or I will always wonder.

Can you make 300 RWHP with bad seals?

Update:

Uh, pulling the ROOM fuse needed to be followed by the pedal dance.
Working much better now.
