I’ve never seen anyone shave the foglight holes. Looks good. ---

It’s going to look better with an intercooler 🙂 ---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ---------- > [@Shockwave179](#): > > I’ve never seen anyone shave the foglight holes. Looks good. Choko is an innovator I only found 1 other person who has done it and that was posting on Ls1tech asking about it after the fact. ---

Slave cylinder was changed the one that came out was in 8 pieces. I’m guessing the new intake threw the tune off a good bit along with the fact I over fueled the last tune expecting Choko to beat on it and getting ready to crank some timing at it I should be around 28-30ish. Mid 11s AFR at WOT 22 degrees of timing :lol: Car needs an alighment super bad its all over the road Huge to Pat for all his help ---

The stock LS1 OS on the PCM runs in a hybrid mode between the MAF and MAP sensor. I wanted to run the the car in SD only just using the MAP you can do this by having the computer fail the MAF automatically however the computer will use the secondary VE table which is half the size of the primary you and loses the ability to have high/low spark tables it reverts to the low. My next issue I have a 1998 PCM which doesn’t offer all the nice features and OS variants(real time tuning, 2 bar, 3 bar, 1 bar sd) that 99+ PCMs have im not ready to repin the harness and swap out PCMs. HP Tuners does offer a 2 Bar OS after doing some research and talking to other tuners you can change how the PCM interuperts the output of the MAP so I rescaled the MAP sensor from 2 Bar to the stock 1 bar. This should give me much better control over fuelling the plan is to hit JDs dyno this weekend and do some work on the WOT tuning. Still have a ton of mini projects to do before winter most of them relate to unfucking things :lol: EVAP delete? Since my garage smells like gas I need to troubleshoot this Window Motors Finish wire clean up Hard wire wideband Re wire shift light Change out interior panels - Thanks Ultradriver Get new dash pad Possible redesign intake setup based on IAT temps Catch can for PCV system Replace windshield Replace window trim/seals Possible try and find another body harness to rewire outside of the car ---

You should make some metal reinforcement plates for the window motors. Don’t know what this car has for mileage but they’ve probably already been replaced once if not multiple times. You may already know this but eventually the holes for the motors in the fiberglass door get enlarged because of the weight and then you’re pretty much screwed if that happens. That’s why the windows sag in these cars. ---

Have you had bad experiences with them? They stop just as good for normal driving, it’s just repeated heat/cooling cycles, like on a track day at the glen or an autox that would be hard on drag brakes. Especially when you take a thousand pounds out of the car. I am sure there are some random stories on the internet about people getting in accidents with drag brakes in their street cars, but In 7 years, I haven’t even come across one of those stories. ---

I know people locally who had have them They fade like a mofo Also I did a lot of online research lol If I can get my car under 2700lbs maybe I will consider it we shall see… Car won’t trap very high next year cam only but when I go turbo might be a whole different story don’t see why I would go faster and put less capable brakes on. ---
