I sell you my ATR Pit Bull chip, cheap. I'm buying an Ultimate.

I've done head swaps and motor builds on a dozen small-block Chevys, using only Fel-Pros and GM head gaskets. They are composition head gaskets that do not need to be re-torqued. I've never retorqued any heads and I've never had a blown head gasket. Might be different for a high-psi Sy motor...

The short pump will NOT work. For one the alignment of the serpentine belt will be way off. Also, the mounts for the accessorys are different. Easy solution, wrap the lower radiator hose in multiple layers of ThermoTec header wrap. That will keep the crossover from damaging the hose.

Thanks Myclone. I did know that the pushrod holes in the heads would be elongated. What do you think about the 1.65s? Would there be substantially less valve train stress? Harland Sharp makes a 1.65 that is substantially cheaper than the Crane 1.7s.

My plans call for a cylinder head upgrade in the near future. I believe I'll need more valve lift to make the most of the heads' increased airflow. However, I would like to keep the stock cam and just increase rocker ratio. The stock cam has .357 intake lift and .390 exhaust lift. With 1.6...

Just installed the DeRale cooling tube pan. FYI, it holds exactly 1.5 quarts more fluid than the stock Sy pan. Even though DeRale advertises "approximately" 1 quart extra. The more fluid a pan holds the cooler the fluid, especially on powerbrake PSI launches.

Dual exhaust...why? If you like the look get a tip that is split into two outlets.

I put on a Kenne Bell cold air intake as my most recent mod. But the truck was down the entire summer with a fragged tranny. That was 3 months down, I'd go crazy if I couldn't drive the truck for 9 months. :o

A 3" in/out 2-chamber Flowmaster was on my truck when I bought it. I'm running through a stock-style replacement 'Catco' brand catalytic converter. The Flowmaster and Catco seem to flow pretty well. I only pick up .2 and 2 MPH at the track when I open the cutout in the downpipe that is placed...

Brad, I'll be watching for it in south Denver. I know exactly what it looks like. It is a really nice looking, distinctive truck. I'm hoping that you recover it in a week or two.

On my bathroom scale I weighed each bucket seat at 36 pounds with the brackets attached.

I read that article. Detonation will blow a head gasket. And I believe the engine probably suffered some pretty severe detonation. Why? How about 32 degrees of timing. That is a lot more than your stock Ty will ever see, your truck will max out at about 19 degrees. Then add to that the lack of...

My Syclone had the same problem with regular headlights. I cleaned all the grounds. Also cleaned the plug receptacles that plug onto the back of the headlights. Worked perfectly after that. It is most likely a corroded connection. Swap headlights from each side to be sure.

I also think that Mike and BG deserve a public apology for the way they were treated in the beginning of this thread. They obviously have incredible character to help someone who abused them needlessly.

Thanks for the duration numbers. I've been needing to know that. :D

I let the engine cool for at least an hour with the hood up. I spray water on the radiator, lower CCHE, and the transmission cooler. I put ice on the intake and intercooler. Coolant temp is usually 150-160. By the way, putting ice on the IC and intake is worth a consistant tenth over just...

It is .357" lift on the intake and .390" lift on the exhaust. What I REALLY would like to know is the duration at .050 lift on the stock cam. Anybody know that?

My favorite at a small hick track in Western Colorado: The girl working the gate: "Sorry, you can't come in here. This is the entrance for the race cars." Me: "Yeah, I know. I',m racing this(the Syclone)." The girl: "Why would anyone want to race a pickup?" :roll: I then proceeded to knock...

Yes, the headlights are turned on when I try to turn on the foglights. The fog lights turn on when I use a jumper wire to connect the purple wire on the switch harness to the purple with white stripe wire in the same harness. However, neither the old switch nor the new switch will activate the...

I thought it was my switch, so I bought a brand-new GM switch. The fog lights still do not turn on. At both switchs I have power at the brown, gray and purple wires. When I jump the purple wire to the purple with white stripe wire both fog lights do come on. So I know that with power the lights...
