Got my cav out and about.(new stuff added)

woooo weeee. i finally got it out from hibernation.

i had to put a new battery in it, install my stock s tube with the m4 water injection nozzle, and the RK cold air intake extension. I need to get the coupler that came with the s/c to attach to the t/b as cuz for some odd reason i gave mine to explotied brian. so i got the s tube to connect to the t/b by putting a part of the AEM elbow over it and clamping the s tube over that. i will source out a 2.75 inch to 3 inch coupler and rig up a oil catch can dealio in the near future.
and i did a oil change. and put in a new, less ghetto motor mount bolt.(i managed to mess one up a while back).

i also put in the ac delco 41-602 plugs gapped at .035 ish.

i am glad i did all that work, car starts up faster, dont back fire nearly as much and runs smoother.

At full throttle, i am seeing a little over 5 psi, i think it has to do with the cold air intake not sucking up hot radiator air, and the more water/methonal going through the s/c.

big thing is 3rd gear feels like 2nd did. i got pretty bad torque steer. i never had that in third, it was kinda boring. now it is fun ...
thought i would share.

later
jake

Sweet, I'll have to get a ride in it one last time before I leave for good, maybe when I'm down in Milwaukee with Brian again.

What pulley are you running? Good to hear you got it out, I have more installing to do before mine is on the road.

I don't think I could go all winter with mine in storage...and I have a '93 Z24 beater and I still drove my '00 a few days a week!

You have the coolingmist setup right? I need to order mine pretty soon.

stock s/c pulley.

and it is nice to hear the s/c again.

i am basically done modding the car, i ran outta stuff to do and i am not going to a smaller pulley. as the car sits it is the fastest it ever was in my 6 years of owning it, and this is going to be the fastest/most power it will ever see.
We basically got our house built(well be here for a month or so) and car stuff comes last on the list. i dont mind it either. not saying i am leaving, just saying as the car sits now, i am 100% happy with.

damn we posted at the same time.

ya i have the coolingmist set up, i like it.. personally i would look into that engine run up or devilsown if were you, prices seem a little cheaper..

and i posted a place where u can get cheap injectors. you would have to search for it.
