how's it running?

98intrigue

Idle isn't as low as 12.0 like it would sometimes be. Cruise is anywhere between 13.0-15.0, which is better than 12.0 like it would sometimes get to. under boost is still lean. I'll be calling HP Logic for a tune in the next few weeks as much as I hate to get a 4th shop involved in my car....but I've heard nothing but good things about them.

Bummer man. Sorry to hear it's still acting up.

You guys are running the MAF sensors bridged now, right?

98intrigue

It's running "better", but not 100%. Nothing will be confirmed until I pay HP Logic a visit for a retune to see if the bridging did any good...and yes, the MAFs are now bridged.

I need to hit the lottery.

Thanks for the heads up! I was leaning that way myself. I have a friend with a lift in his garage as well. He manages a shop that does all the work on my non-toy cars, like brakes for my kids. He and his son just built an insane drag car (I won't say what it is but it's initials are M****ng). I was thinking I could talk him into helping me out when I get ready. Probably won't be until next fall. I have a couple of things I want to do to the Z32TT first.



Grasshopper, I expect to see some images after the weekend. I know you have been practicing.

yah, i will definitely be working on my camera this weekend! if it rains i will take snaps of my garage. if it's nice out i will first do my Z's picts followed by my G's picts.

i made folders on the SD card like this:
M_UV (manual mode UV filter only)
M_CLP (manual mode UV + circular polarizer) not sure if i will use this time
AP_UV (apeture priority mode UV filter only)
AP_CLP .. and so on.

for garage shots i think im going to do shutter priority and use a tripod, no flash. maybe some close ups using manual and 55mm F5.6.... i need another lens with smaller apeture to do closeups...

also going to see if i can stop by bestbuy and check out the macbook pro's... i think i5 should do it for me... although wife insists i get i7...

Nice work.

^^^ Amen! Great job on the install and write up. I was on the fence about doing it my self. Appreciate the inspiration.

Do it! If I were to do it again I'd find a lift and drop the engine. It would make the process much easier.

A friend of mine is building a garage with a lift so I'll be all set when it comes time to put the stroker motor in.

Plural? You going to make a double stacked lip? Maybe put a tongue in the middle.
