Mine will be getting some much needed down-time in the near future, otherwise I'm limited in the distance I can drive. Is there nothing local going on?

Theoreticaly it would because you'd be shifting the powerband a tad higher, but I doubt you'd take immediate notice of it. You'd probably have to put pen to paper and do some mpg calc's to see it.Like Mr Peepes said, a good gasket match and a little knife edging would be your best bet. I...

If you're going for fuel efficiency and not full on racing power, don't touch the intake side. With its stock size you'll get higher air velocity, and with its rough casting surface, you'll get more turbulance which will help mix the air/fuel. Both are good for torque, and torque is good for...

Just wondering if you ever recieved your car care stuff. My green 1G was the selection in last years May issue (I think) and I never heard from them, and never recieved my stuff. In fact, I didn't even know it was in there untill a local club member alerted me to it.

Woot! The GST showed up yesterday evening! After a good scrubdown and a bit of leg stretching on some of these wonderful curvy roads, it seems a head gasket is still a priority. I was hoping the cooler temps and better gas (god bless the 93 octane pumps...) would make life easier, which it did...

Sounds good. Hopefully my car will be here this weekend (stupid transport company couldn't find anyone that wanted to haul out this way...). Sometime in the coming months I'll be swapping out the HG. Low budget Flepro just won't hold up to 16 psi...:barf:

Woohoo! Made it to Arkansas! Staying in Cotter right now. I've been driving around the area the past few days and noticed a few DSM's and an Evo. Also saw a 1G in Springdale as we were passing through. It was missing its hood...

Its official, we're moving to and settling down somewhere in the Mt. Home area. In two weeks actually. I'll probably see some of you around...;)

Sure, you can block it off. It'll run like crap, but you can do it. :nono:

Once you get the tb off and apart, you'll see two small ports on the lower section towards the end. One is for the IAC, the other is for the FIAV. You want to block the one that isn't for the IAC. If you're still not sure, search around for FIAV, there is a link to a picture in one of them that...

I'd also like to add that my fuel milage went up, coolant temps went down, and boost is more responsive. I just wish it didn't take me three years to find the problem!:beatentodeath:

Its fixed! My car now idles at a rock solid 1k rpm. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

I've got similar issues with my idle. At cold startup, it'll rev to 2k for a few seconds, then drop down into a surging idle untill it warms up. If I start it when its already warm, it idles fine. I just pulled the tb off and apart tonight and used JB weld to block off the hole in the bottom...

Oddly enough, we'll be temporarily be staying in the Mountain Home/Cotter area with my in-laws untill we can get our bearings. After that, it'll probably be off to Springdale (though Joplin seems to be an option at this time as well).I know there are lots of RV shops out there, but does...
