    Vote! Does your walbro whine?

    I got dual walbro inline and intank 255hp's rewired but the whine still fluctuates with idle. Pretty loud. The whine changed awhile ago got me worried that the one inline was going, replaced it with a new one still making the same noise so guessing the E-85 is doing it or the intank one is going...

    Thanks bullet for the insight. I will def back some timing off but I am running on E85. You have you spark gapped that small? Mine was .28 but people suggested it should be .44 so I opened it up a little. But didnt make any difference I guess it will not hurt going the other way. But I have to...

    Need help understanding Spec sheet for pistons

    Another thing that might changed the compression completely is that the kid I bought it from was supposed to buy the .04 over pistons to get the 2.2lt displacement, but instead got the .02. But I still have the 2.2 stroker crank installed. The high compression could also be the reason my MS is...

    Another Debate Portfueler System Or Megasquirt

    I run MS-II which is great and would always chose it above portfueler but be ready for alot alot of headaches!

    ARP Head Bolt kit (420A)

    Old thread but cant find a good answer. I am redoing my headgasket. So should a guy back of the nut after each progressive step? What should the final torque specs be for the headbolts on a 420a if I am running around 25+psi. Should I stick with the 90lbs or a little more?

    Rapid Rescore For Credit

    Rapid rescore only are done thru banks or mortgage brokers that I know of. Otherwise you are looking at paying a company to do it for you and cost will run you $250 to $500.

    Just to let you know that the 420a just use 1 bolt on the pick-up tube not even 2 or a support bracket. So I would think the two bolts should be be good, just my thought.

    Great to hear that Velocita thanks for the advice. I think I might have to upgrade mine to MS 2 once I get her going again.

    420a maf???

    Best support sofar is MS 1 V3 for the 420a but the MS 2 have better injector control also IAC control, but is a little newer. My car has been down for 8 months so I havent had much contact with the MS groups so I am sure there are newer codes out but last time she run I used HiRes10d and g maybe.
