I am fascinated that my engine knocks at 9 PSI of boost and 18.75 degrees of advance, at 4317 RPM. The boost built to 15.8 PSI, where I was running 5020 RPM, and had a whopping 3.75 degrees of advance...after FAST pulled 17 degrees of timing. This is with Vortec heads, btw. I replaced the...

I haven't posted in awhile, haven't driven the 'phoon very much because of 1 million things going on. But things are settling down a little. I had a local mechanic put a new turn signal switch in my truck...and to my surprise and dismay, now my dash gauges don't work...but the wierdest thing...

I have just gotten my Typhoon back from RPM in Cali, and am absolutely fascinated by the million parameters to adjust with the FAST system. I am wondering if people could e-mail me some GCT files of well-tuned trucks? I realize there are a million different variables, and my truck (Vortecs...

I have an ITS boost controller from RPM. I noticed that to hook it up, I need lots of little pipe-thread-to-hose fittings (like on the boost sensor and solenoids.) My local hardware shop doesn't have anything like that...where is a good place to buy them? I can't also seem to find them at...

I just got my T66 from Mike Lee. HOLY SH*T that thing is HUGE! Now I'm thinking...I have relocated my battery where the vacuum ball used to be, and turned the orange stock elbow so I could run a filter in the fenderwell. As the inlet on the T66 is much, much larger, I'm wondering...where can...

I have a set of Vortec heads coming for my Ty. So where's the best place to get the heads modified and re-drilled, and the lower intake welded and ported to fit? I'm in Illinois, and don't want to have to ship both of them to California...but I will if I have to. Bill Jenkins 1992 Ty #1752

Some months ago, my ABS started doing the "both lights on" thing...so I unplugged everything from the ABS computer, and everything was great...albeit without ABS. I got curious on Saturday and plugged everything back in. To my surprise, all of the lights are now out...except, when the thing is...

What's the part number of a cone-type filter that I can mount on the end of the crossover tube? I've tried the search but it's sick right now...

I did the rubber line conversion tonight on my Typhoon. I don't think I've seen that many hose clamps on one vehicle before. I just had to do things a bit different...I decided that because I'm going to be putting in an external wastegate, I'd move the IC pump somewhere else. So I put it...

I went to a local car show last night. Not really too much there out of the ordinary, just the typical 55 Chevrolet's and mid-60's Thunderbirds. Certainly no Sy/Ty's. I didn't put my Typhoon in the show, because I don't want people leaning on my "Blazer." So everybody starts filtering out and...

I'm about to get my Ultimate 50# delivered (gauge style.) I (will before the chip goes in) have 50# injectors, AFPR, Walbro, functional IC pump, etc...and I've done all of the "normal" maintenance stuff to get ready for the Ult. I'm just wondering...in the latest version of the Ultimate, should...

Well I put on the Walbro this weekend, and decided to put on the Johnson IC pump too. My audible pinging on full throttle after a few seconds is now gone (it had been present on the original truck...I replaced the dead IC pump, it went away...pump died, came back...with new pump, it's gone...

I have a weird problem on my 92 Ty. The left brake light is out. And yes, the first thing I did was change bulbs...no difference. The bulb is a 2057 (or at least I think it's supposed to be a 2057) and one filament lights up with the headlights. However, the filament for the brake light does...

I have been going through my truck trying to get rid of a moderate-to-severe knock. According to Datamaster, if I hammer it from a roll at 40 or so, I am getting anywhere from 6 to 12 degrees of knock retard, which of course rapidly dies down as RPM increases (and I pull my foot out of it.) A...

Okay...I've done quite a bit of volt-metering, and have come up with the following on my 92 Ty's ever-lit brake light. 1. Disconnecting the brake warning light wire from the proportioning valve does not eliminate the light. 2. The warning light switch is not "closed", or providing a...

Got my Ty, oh, about a month-and-a-half ago. I used to be able to get the red "BRAKE" warning light to come on by really pushing down on the pedal (like a heavily boosted launch)... Well, I was driving around the other day, decided to do a mild launch. Not much pressure on the brake, but...

I thought I'd just give a quick "hi!" to everyone in this forum. I'm a new Ty owner ('92 #1752) and am very interested in prom-ification as everyone is doing here. A little background on myself...I am 26 years old, and currently a technical coordinator for a school district in western...

Well, sort of fixed. To make a long story short, it was the CAC pump, as I was suggested a few times. To make the long story, well, long...I noticed that the vehicle launched like a bullet, but seemed to fade on the top end. In reading some other posts in the forum, it had been suggested that...

New to the forum...new to SyTy's too. Just got my 1992 Ty last week...75K miles. Previous owner says that every "consumable" ignition component (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, etc) has been replaced very recently. It has ATR plug wires, and AC plugs. It also has an ATR Pitbull chip. Stock...
