Great information...

I'd check closely the MAF sensor, and clean it well. If a bit of oil from the KN gets on there, it will drastically affect the WOT runs by either leaning out or enrichening the fuel trims. If it is bucking climbing a hill, I would imagine it is a lean condition pulling timing under engine load. When...

Yes, or a sticky float assembly...

Hey...I have the 3.8 V6 with the M90 supercharger...all modded up. I cannot believe the gas prices...I wish I was in Trini...lol.

well alternator good then , check your grounding and also make sure d battery good, i am having this same problem , i gonna buy a battery and put it in , i will let u know if i come across any other problem x2...check for a bad ground somewhere...it may be bleeding the battery voltage as it sits...

Nice read Padna... I run Mobil 1 exclusively...an since the first time I put it in, the performance is much better in my big engine. In the winter months, I run a 5w30, which is a lighter oil, and it gets moving around in the block much easier in the cold...in the summer I run 10w30, as it provides ...

DO ENSURE YOUR AIR FILTER AND ELECTRONIC SENSORS ARE COVERED WHEN ENGINE WASHING Including Distributor, Alternator, Coil packs, Plugs Doh forget about your computers either...if ya know where it is...doh blas water in there.... Use a plastic bag to cover alternators and such...works great...if you ...

Leak on your clutch mater cylinder possibly? Is that not pressurized by your vac circuit? If so, when you press it, you leak fluid and vacuum simultaneously...resulting in lower RPM and stall. My $0.02...

Good luck with it...

i gave it back to him not long after i posted this thread. right now i'm sourcing a new one for him.

Ah hope he ain't drivin' it...ah he won't need a next one.

I feel bad for d engine...it has been eating dirt since he washed that wit a gas base cleaner. That is not a filter anymore...it is a mesh screen. The engine will die if he keep using it. No pink oil...no dirt trap. No dirt trap...no engine soon. Don't give it back to him, ah he will run it again. R...

Hello Hoddie. Nice GTP you've got there. I'm pushing 15+ psi @ 6k rpm when I run the 3.2" SC pulley on my blown 3.8L. Nice...do you have any additional belt tensioning systems...IE...Wbody wrap, etc? I have a real hard time getting any more out of mine without belt slip. I run the 3.2 with a gator ...

HODDIE....The AFC i am talking about is from APEXi...and it can add/remove fuel +/-50%...at 1000 rev increments...if what you are saying is correct I will try this...thanks A bit different than how I do it...my AFC allows adjustments in the ranges of MAFF...mass air flow frequency. It should work f...

You guys down in Trini have 95 octane...and I would suggest using that all the time, and keep away from them octane boosters. They are horrible for clogging things up. They work well on the inlet end of things, but once it is through the injectors to the exhaust system, they coat the O2 sensors with...

Ram air will help force the air in, whereas the CAI will just draw colder air from outside the engine bay. I would say a ram air will be more functional, as you mentioned when you start moving, the IAT will go down. I run a ram air box that feeds my CAI, and the result is at higher speeds, my IAT st...

Throw a SC on that V8 and BAM...SR20 is done. Depends also what generation camaro it is in...old school camaro 68-81...SR20 will hold em...newer generation are lighter and a bit better geared...hence SR20 down...350 chevy V8 are pretty fast no matter what...but there were plenty of them built with l...

man like u have everything covered. the stock internals could take how much power? u on stock internals? The stock internals can take up to about 450hp...and yes, I am still on stock internals. These Pontiac 3800 engines are one of the best performance V6 engines made...and can take plenty abuse. I...

If you caught a drags event at the end of august, and saw me running

Yeah man...I caught that whole event from the announcers truck...and saw you run. That ride performs...nice boost numbers...

Funny...I did have a vid of one of your runs...but it was misdirected...

Hello Trinis... Graham from Calgary, Canada. Married a Trini woman years back now...and just experienced the Trini racing at the end of August when I stopped by the drag event. You guys got it great down here, and have some quick rides. So, I run a supercharged 3.8 liter Pontiac up here with 12-13ps...

is it necessary that u hear the knockin sound? what would be the symtoms in terms of the peformance of the engine? I'm new to the Trini forums...but usually you won't even hear the knock. It will happen under heavy throttle...and engine noise and exhaust most times drown it out. The symptoms are se...
