thats my main goal here... to make it the way gm should have. ive built many 600-700 hp engines. this system, i think, is unique. i'm tryin to squezze out 350 ponies... not sure if it will but i'm a tryin. trap speed will tell for sure

the way to make this even better would be to send it out to be extrude honed after you have done all this work. it is very expensive . http://extrudehoneafm.com/

As for practical solutions, I am truly sorry I can not best your fuel gauge setup. Go call Leno, maybe he's hiring!!!

Hey, old prune face. How are you doing. Thought you might have passed away from some sort of socially transmitted disease. But here you are.

Car is still running very well with 235,000 miles on the submarine sandwich setup. Put in a 3.55 rear end. Really helped. Use it still as a daily driver, but only about 30 miles a day. Am an M&A consultant. That's Mergers and Acquisitions for you furiners.

Tell young Ken to get back on the forum. Would be interested to know if he ever carried through with the various projects he had in store for his 82.
