    i want boost...

    Well, sir, if you want to get into the “future”, you need to consider what has recently been developed in diesels. It is best described as, progressive combustion. Superchargers are not practical for diesels, because of their narrow range. Their RPM’s are limited by their gear boxes...

    i want boost...

    To anyone that is following this, sorry for the long post’s. I’m trying to keep it as brief as possible. I understand the vehicles play a part in how much power gets to the wheels, but in this case, the Tahoe is at a disavantage, having to turn the 4L80e trans. Also the Camaro is a LT1, with...

    i want boost...

    I’m on the south side of the twin cities. I don’t have any ideas for making power without spending money, but I would be happy to help you decide which direction to take…… PM Sent…..:)

    They are two smaller turbo's, sized for the engine. The two equal the one Vortech T trim. It goes by the boost attained. :) ---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ---------- The Supercharger obviously has more drag if it eats 150 horsepower in...

    i want boost...

    I agree. Everything you mention here is true. Perhaps a little out of context though. I think it would be fair to say, when there is back pressure on a turbo charger, but, at that same time, there is positive pressure coming in the intake, that all but neutralize that issue. I think...

    stoping axle wrap?

    It all depends on the air system you use. I have been looking for a 4 link for my 2 dr, but so far, no luck. I have seen some systems for other trucks that used the front half of the leaf springs, but then you must have a pan hard bar to keep the rear in place. I can't remember if...

    i want boost...

    Thank you for pointing out the biggest misconception in the motoring world. Turbo’s do not produce their power from the exhaust blowing through, but rather from the massive heat causing expansion of the gasses. Here is a test for you. Put your turbo charged car in neutral and slowly...

    i want boost...

    Diesels are torque monsters, even without turbo chargers. They use a longer stroke to make the best use of their fuel properties. They also don’t have to depend on a spark plug. They compress the air and when they are ready for the combustion, they inject the fuel at that instant. Now...

    I’m always eager to learn. Could you please explain how a Turbo robs horsepower from the engine?

    i want boost...

    I like forced induction of any kind. The turbo without a doubt will make more power than a supercharger, because to does not have to rob power from the crankshaft to compress the air. That being said, there is the issue of “turbo lag”. There are several remedies for that as well. Some...

    Barely any heat!

    Maybe you are far enough north to get away with the heater on full all the time. How close are you to the arctic circle?

    stoping axle wrap?

    That will cure it for sure. Good choice........:)

    stoping axle wrap?

    If you are having a mild case of axle wrap, often you can cure it with “leaf”, type overload springs, put on backwards. Install them on the bottom of the leaf springs in front of the axle. Wheel hop is a good indication that your springs are wrapping. Traction bars would for sure...

    Barely any heat!

    Make sure the vacuum controlled valve, for turning the coolant on and off, is operating properly. Have someone turn the heat control up and down, while watching the control valve. The truck needs to be running to supply the vacuum. :) It should be easy to find the valve. Passenger side...

    Headlight Question! Please Help!

    Most auto stores have display’s with miscellaneous body clips. Some are bagged, some are in bubble packs. You might be able to figure it out by looking them over. Otherwise, visit your local GM dealer and chat with the parts guys. They have exploded views of the body parts and know what...

    question

    Corvette servo’s add speed and mechanical advantage to the shift. They are not always the best mod for a vehicle twice the weight. The truck is already shifting hard, but for the wrong reason. Transmission pressure is supposed to be set by throttle position and or MAF signals. The idea...

    question

    Sometimes you can have debris in the cooling system and after it gets up to operating temp, it can dislodge from the radiator and move into the trans. It is common practice to put an inline filter on the return line from the radiator for a few months after a transmission work. If your old...

    New Guy 1st truck please be nice

    Welcome, If you have a potential brake line problem, check it right away. It is easy to check as those steel lines are fastened to the banjo housing. Look for an area where something could have been rubbing. Like a parking brake cable or ? The steel brake lines have a thick wall, but...

    Whats a yukon gt?

    If it has a carb on it, there may be some emissions laws to consider. I don't think a dealer can sell a vehicle that has any of the stock emissions equipment compromised. Something to check on. I could bring the price down if nothing else. :)

    Factory Tow Package Question

    You can drill a hole in the tow bar and install a plug. I used the combo plug for the seven pin and four pin. To hook it to the wiring harness, I used the adapter "T" that plugs into the trucks wiring harness. Most places that have supplies for trailers should have the plug and adapter...

    How about "Run Flat" tires and leave the spare in the garage? :)

    So do they turn off "torque management", or modify the settings?

    Jenna bear tune's

    I'm not using either OBD1 or OBD2, I was just curious as to what, specifically, was being done for the stock ECM's,to gain power?

    Jenna bear tune's

    Just out of curiosity? What specifically is done on the jenna bear mods to the ECM. Are we talking modifiying the timeing tables and injectors tables? What about knock sensor tables etc? Are the rev limiters changed and the AFR tables? Does it have to be OBD2 or are there applications...

    noob engine swap questions

    Why not just repair the engine that's in there? A knock is not a death sentence. While you are in there, you could make some mild improvments, like cam, etc. :)
