I know on the stock small block Chevy heads I replaced they had a center port on the intake manifold sealing surface. I assume this was the heated crossover. It says the 12317 heads have a heated crossover. If I drill a hole in the center of the intake manifold sealing surface would I drill into the heated crossover so I could make my EGR valve work incase they test it on my CA smog check? Or would that drill right into the water jacket? I can use an external EGR setup but would rather keep it stock looking if possible. Thanks! So far the heads are awesome!!

My Comp paper work says to adjust the valves without the hydraulic lifters pumped up. Now I had to make some adjustments to my pushrod guidplates and I have primed my oil pump so the lifters are pumped.

When I went back to adjust the valves I thought... wait... my lifters are pumped, but when people adjust their valves in their engines that they are changing cams in the lifters are pumped. So do I adjust them pumped or not.

I was browsing the website now I see another conflict. It says when adjusting the exhaust valve, you take the intake valve at max lift and back down until the lifter is 1/2 to 2/3 down. Now the Comp website says not to go past 1/2 way down. Do I need to go back through the valves and readjust them? ]]> Im trying to adjust my valves and have some conflicting imformation.

It seems to me more of a mechanical angle problem, spring verses the mounting points around the throttle shaft, verses the mounting point on the motor. Anyone using two springs? or pictures of their set up? It's not the throttle cable; I checked that.

Pertronix ignition module died and this was followed with poor battery performance and difficult starting.
New Pertronix and new battery fitted.
Starts great but ran rough so set the handheld to start a 'new tune' and it ran great.
I then park up and later restart and it runs rough so I 'new tune' again and it's fine.
I seem to have to 'new tune' it after every time I start,.... what could be happening here?

I must say so far the EZ EFI has been easy but I do have a couple questions..

1. is it normal when you turn the key on and the pump primes I get a loud clicking about three or four times it sounds like its the regulator making the noise.:confused: (it didn't do this until I adjusted the regulator)
2. while the car is idling is it normal when you touch the gas pedal for the injectors(I think) to make a kinda buzzing for a second or 2?
3. where do I hook up the regulator vacuum line? I have it hooked at the passenger side of the throttle body on the side its the very bottom of the body?
4.I mounted my msd control box under the dash it makes a clicking type of buzzing sound is that normal?

Retaining all accessories, to include A/C. Using a piggyback harness to retain stock gauges, ect.

A/C Questions -- I know that pin A24 requires a +12v signal contrary to the instruction manual. Planning on wiring that into the feed side of the pressure switch that goes to the A/C Compressor through a relay. This way if there is low pressure, the signal doesn't go to the A/C Compressor from the OEM computer, thus the relay doesn't close for the XFI Idle up signal.

Second, is the pin B11, the A/C Compressor Enable feature. Now this supposedly is grounded automatically by the XFI computer, and the ground is taken away once the Temp or TPS Threshold is reached. So would it be simple enough for me to just cut the ground wire for the A/C Compressor long and connect it to pin B11? Wouldn't that allow it to function via the stock computer as normal, but allow the XFI to allow the WOT cutout since the stock computer can't anymore?

Next....fan controls. I am retaining the dual fans but the XFI has controls for only one AFAIK. My solution to this was to wire both fans into the signal from the XFI. That a bad idea?

Last......sequential rev limiter. Ground the pin (forget off hand which one is the clutch input as stated in the manual) for whatever input you want to use. So essentially I could just use a push switch for launching on boost, correct?

Thanks in advance everyone. ]]> Using an XFI on a 93 Stroked/Turbo'd LT1. Retaining all accessories, to include A/C. Using a piggyback harness to retain stock gauges, ect.

First, the 1/2 and the 3/4 shifts are happening WAY too soon. I read that the modulator valve can be adjusted to widen the shift pattern. Cranking in about 3 turns did not make a noticable difference, so I wanted to wait until I received professional advice before going any further, especially in light of the next issue.

Another thing that needs to be addressed is how the 3/4 shift is extremely firm even at part throttle, while the 1/2 shift seems "normal". Note that I do not yet have the kickdown linkage installed, as I need to replace the bushings in the ends of the kickdown lever. It was binding, so I left it off for now and have been shifting manually (especially since the auto shifts happen way too soon).

With the sheer mass of racers and teams that utilize Quarter Master® racing clutches and driveline products, it is no surprise that victory lanes across the country have recently been filled with Quarter Master® products. Quarter Master® specializes in products for almost every type of motorsports, and top competitors are taking advantage of the performance benefits.

Most recently, Quarter Master® flexed its muscles in the 2010 Brickyard 400 at the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Indiana. The top four finishers in the illustrious NASCAR event were utilizing cutting-edge Quarter Master® technology and included event winner Jamie McMurray and second through fourth place finishers Kevin Harvick, Greg Biffle and Clint Bowyer. Among the Quarter Master® components utilized by the front running teams were the brand new Reverse Mount Bellhousing Kit and the new 8-Leg Optimum-V Clutch.

While Sprint Cup drivers were making NASCAR history with Quarter Master® products in Indiana, across the country in New Jersey, the SpeedSource Mazda RX-8 team was breaking records, as well. The team made an unprecedented podium sweep in the GT-Class in Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series action at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, New Jersey. Co-drivers Jonathan Bomarito and Sylvain Tremblay topped the action by taking the win while co-drivers John Edwards and Adam Christodoulou claimed the runner-up spot for the team. Emil Assentato and Jeff Segal rounded out the podium with their third place finish. The SpeedSource team uses only Quarter Master® clutches in all of their race cars to guarantee top of the line performance.

With national news being made, Quarter Master® customers also wreaked havoc on the regional scene in Late Model competition. ACT Late Model Series competitor Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. from Hudson, New Hampshire, used Quarter Master® products to scorch the asphalt at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, en route to giving Ford its first win with the tour. Polewarczyk, Jr. controlled the race and led over half of the event’s laps before taking the win.

Dirt Late Model racing was not exempt from Quarter Master® dominance over the course of the last week. Bart Hartman earned a special event win at Florence Speedway in Union, Kentucky, while Chris Madden recorded a Southern Nationals Series win at Rome Speedway in Rome, Georgia.

Quarter Master® continues to push the envelope for producing unmatched, high performance products for circle track racers, as well as continuing to prepare for a big return to the drag racing world in the near future. It’s clear to see that if you want to make sure you are getting winning performance from your driveline products, you need to join the Quarter Master® team today! ]]> Whether it be NASCAR, the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series, Late Models or any other motorsports division, Quarter Master® products are found in winning race cars nationwide



With the sheer mass of racers and teams that utilize Quarter Master® racing clutches and driveline products, it is no surprise that victory lanes across the country have recently been filled with Quarter Master® products. Quarter Master® specializes in products for almost every type of motorsports, and top competitors are taking advantage of the performance benefits.



Most recently, Quarter Master® flexed its muscles in the 2010 Brickyard 400 at the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Indiana. The top four finishers in the illustrious NASCAR event were utilizing cutting-edge Quarter Master® technology and included event winner Jamie McMurray and second through fourth place finishers Kevin Harvick, Greg Biffle and Clint Bowyer. Among the Quarter Master® components utilized by the front running teams were the brand new Reverse Mount Bellhousing Kit and the new 8-Leg Optimum-V Clutch.



While Sprint Cup drivers were making NASCAR history with Quarter Master® products in Indiana, across the country in New Jersey, the SpeedSource Mazda RX-8 team was breaking records, as well. The team made an unprecedented podium sweep in the GT-Class in Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series action at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, New Jersey. Co-drivers Jonathan Bomarito and Sylvain Tremblay topped the action by taking the win while co-drivers John Edwards and Adam Christodoulou claimed the runner-up spot for the team. Emil Assentato and Jeff Segal rounded out the podium with their third place finish. The SpeedSource team uses only Quarter Master® clutches in all of their race cars to guarantee top of the line performance.

In addition, ZEX™ hands out over 500 pounds of free nitrous oxide refills to Drag Week competitors during three days of competition.



COMP Cams® has always been an innovator. While best known for revolutionary, high performance valve train products, COMP Cams® recently broke new ground by sponsoring a special trophy for the 2006 Hot Rod Drag Week that undoubtedly few will ever forget. A custom designed Gibson Epiphone guitar featuring COMP Cams® and Hot Rod magazine logos, along with vibrant flame graphics, was presented to the overall Drag Week champion, COMP Cams®-loyalist Eddie Miller and his ’73 Plymouth Duster. Appropriately enough, Miller, who is an enthusiastic Elvis fan, earned the top prize guitar, beating out a tough field of very fast racecars.

COMP Cams®, the Drag Week title sponsor again this year, and its sister company, TCI®, the co-sponsor of the event, found their products to be the components of choice by many of the top racers in attendance. Based in Port St. Lucie, Florida, Miller’s purple ‘73 Plymouth Duster is a virtual display case of COMP Cam® parts which includes a custom camshaft, as well as high performance valve springs and lifters.

Drag Week requires participants to not only race for the best quarter mile time but also drive between different drag race tracks throughout the Midwest in a true test of man and machine, pressing race-oriented performance parts to deliver extended, on-road reliability. COMP Cams® and TCI® supplied their racer support trailer outfitted with technical experts at each racing venue and handed out over 500 pounds of free ZEX™ nitrous oxide refills for all of the participants. Drag Week, originally slated for five consecutive days, was shortened to three days due to rain, which washed out the first two days of competition.

The 2006 Drag Week included eight classes of competition. Each of the five major COMP Performance Group™ companies gave each class winner a $100 certificate (for a total of $500 per champion) good for products from COMP Cams®, TCI®, ZEX™, FAST™ and RHS™. Class and overall winners were determined after recording the best quarter mile elapsed time for each vehicle at each of the three tracks and averaging the quickest times together. Initially 121 participants from all over the United States and Canada started the event with only 82 making the full tour to all three locations. Participant vehicles sported “Hot Rod Drag Week 2006 COMP Cams” windshield decals proclaiming their official involvement in the competition.

While Eddie Miller earned the top overall honors with an average quarter mile speed of 8.508267 seconds, there were a number of other stand out performers. Powerhouse® Products and ProRacing Sim™ provided product certificates to the first and second place winners of the bracket race between the Daily Driver 11.00 and 12.00-second classes. Jimmy Neuenfeldt won the race with his 2003 Chevy Silverado pickup while second place fell to Tara Schleicher, driving her ’95 Mercury Grand Marquis (on her honeymoon!). A perennial Hard Luck Award winner, Brian Hinson earned a FAST™ gift certificate for an air/fuel meter with his ’93 LS1-powered RX7. Having spent the first two days of competition sorting out his car’s power train, Brian clicked off the best time of the Drag Week event at 8.22 seconds, unfortunately too late to challenge for the title. As the saying goes, maybe next year? ]]> COMP Cams®-Powered Plymouth Duster Drives Away With 2006 Hot Rod Drag Week Trophy

Eight 500-inch Mopar engines take on the COMP Cams® dyno in a fight to make major horsepower and torque while balancing the budget

COMP Cams® once again played host to the biggest Chrysler engine contest of the year: the Mopar Muscle Engine Challenge. With eight 500-inch “RB” wedge engines strapping onto the dyno at COMP Cams® R&D lab in Memphis, TN, these engine builders focused on making maximum horsepower and torque numbers between 3,000 and 7,000 rpm running on 93 octane fuel. Taking top honors with the highest horsepower numbers were Rich Nedbal and Dave Timmons of Mopar Engines West, from Newark, CA, with their impressive wedge engine cranking out 761 horsepower.

While Rich Nedbal and Dave Timmons of Mopar Engines West celebrated their impressive horsepower numbers, the Challenge title goes to the engine that, after adding the top hp and torque figures and then dividing by the total cost of parts purchased to build the engine, achieves the highest total. “For our second year of the Mopar Muscle Challenge, our eight participants showed us why they are the people that enthusiasts need to call when they are looking for horsepower. All of the engines posted serious numbers, giving enthusiast engine builders a variety of choices when looking for an RB-based engine,” stated Mopar Muscle editor Randy Bolig.

During the visit, Brian and the FAST™ engineering crew converted his 383cid GM Crate Engine-powered vehicle from a convention carburetor set-up to the new FAST™ XFI™ fuel injection system. After the EFI conversion, Brian took a short drive to TCI® headquarters, in Ashland, MS, to write a story about TCI®’s new TCU® electronic transmission which had earlier been installed in his ’30 Ford Roadster. Upon his return to California, Brian will complete the full XFI™ transformation with the installation of COMP’s new XFI™ camshaft and related valve train components.

Stay tuned to the pages of Street Rodder (www.streetrodderweb.com) for the upcoming installation articles.

As a leader in new product innovation at this year’s SEMA Show, which was staged Nov. 1-4 in Las Vegas, NV, the COMP Cams® booth was one of the most active destinations for media members and buyers. Filling over two million square feet of the Las Vegas Convention Center, the 2005 SEMA Show continued to grow, both in size and traffic, attracting several thousand exhibitors and nearly 50,000 attendees. This made it the perfect setting to introduce COMP’s newest products and the launch of its 30th anniversary celebration, which will involve some exciting promotions in the upcoming year.

“It’s been an incredible thirty years,” said COMP Cams® President Ron Coleman. “We are excited to announce our plans for the upcoming year and to thank those industry members and enthusiasts who have made us the absolute leader in valve train technology. We had a lot of great things to talk about at this year’s SEMA Show, as demonstrated by a record number of new product entries. We expect to carry that momentum into 2006.”

Among the COMP Cams® products receiving the most attention at the 2005 SEMA Show was the introduction of several new applications of COMP Cams® Beehive™ Valve Springs. To visually demonstrate the advantages of the Beehive™ Valve Spring technology, the COMP Cams® booth included high-speed video footage from a Spintron® comparison test of a traditional cylindrical valve spring and a Beehive™ Valve Spring. A centerpiece of many questions and conversations, this video footage is also available for viewing online at www.compcams.com/beehive/.

Additionally, COMP Cams® unveiled several other noteworthy products that captured the interest of attendees. This included the new Tri-Power Xtreme™ Truck & SUV camshaft and programmer packages, the FAST-FLASH™ Power Programmer, the revolutionary Vibration Absorber Carburetor Spacer and the CamQuest™ 6 Cam Selection Software.



“We were very pleased with the public reaction to the Tri-Power Xtreme™ Truck & SUV camshaft and programmer packages,” said Chris Douglas, COMP Cams® Marketing Manager. “With a unique camouflage package and matching COMP Cams® camo hat, this is a highly effective valve train/tuning system that offers truck & SUV owners the ability to tune the performance and drivability of their vehicle.”

As part of the annual banquet, SEMA honored COMP Performance Group™ Vice President Paul “Scooter” Brothers for his work in the industry and officially inducted him into the prestigious SEMA Hall of Fame. In a ceremony that included a filmed speech, Brothers poignantly thanked those who have helped him in his career and noted his continued enthusiasm and love for the automotive aftermarket business. Brothers has been an involved and dedicated member of the automotive aftermarket industry for many years.

Clearly one of the biggest attractions in the COMP booth during the show were the new retrofit drop-in hydraulic roller lifters for Chrysler small block, big block and Hemi engines, as well as Ford small block and 429-460cid series engines. COMP Cams® new Pro Magnum™ Roller Lifters are specifically designed to perform at higher engine speeds and resist lifter “pump up”, increasing the upper rpm limit of the engine.

Also, of great focus at the show were the new COMP Cams® 30th anniversary logo and the official kick-off of COMP’s anniversary celebration. The new logo will be highly visible throughout the upcoming year at events and on official COMP Cams® apparel. In addition, COMP Cams® will be delving into the sport of off-road racing, starting with its sponsorship of the National Mud Racing Organization (NMRO), along with sister division TCI®.

“The 2005 show was the most productive SEMA Show we’ve ever had,” said Douglas. “We had tremendous buyer reaction to our products and filmed quite a few television segments for various performance-oriented television shows that will air throughout 2006. Things are looking great as we head into our 30th anniversary year.”

It’s the ultimate engine shoot out – seven streetable high horsepower “elephant” engines fighting it out for top honors as the ultimate Chrysler 426cid Hemi. Playing center stage is the COMP Cams® R&D engine dyno facility, which will host the first ever Royal Purple Hemi Engine Challenge. Featuring an assortment of 426cid engines, participants will create power-packed Hemi engines, using the most creative assemblage of parts and technology at their disposal in an attempt to generate the ultimate in horsepower and torque for the dollar.

For this first of what could become an annual event, Mopar Muscle Magazine, creator of this contest, chose to feature the 426 Hemi. All of the parts used in the build-up of these engines must be available over the counter, through any supplier. Each engine will be scored using a simple composite system that, when tallied, will demonstrate affordability of Hemi horsepower through a cost per horsepower final result.

“With all of the buzz surrounding the modern Hemi engine, we felt that it was great to be involved in an engine contest that compares legendary 426cid Hemi engines,” said COMP Cams® Marketing Manager Chris Douglas. “We have done a great deal of development work with the new Hemi 5.7-liter engine, creating new camshafts and valve train parts that greatly increase horsepower and torque, but many enthusiasts forget that we have a great number of high-tech camshafts and valve train parts for the classic 426 Hemi. We are pleased to be involved in this inaugural event.”

Five category winners use COMP Cams® components to complete 1500 miles, six states and five days of drag racing

Talk about kicking it off with a bang! The recent inaugural Hot Rod Drag Week, sponsored by COMP Cams®, featured plenty of fast cars and last minute drama. When it was all over, Carl Scott of Woodward, OK, was the overall winner, with his 1967 Chevrolet Nova running an average time of 8.58 seconds at 157.13 mph for all five drag strips and traversing 1500 miles over five days.

“The Hot Rod Drag Week was a concept derived by Hot Rod Magazine, following the very successful COMP Cams® sponsored Hot Rod Pump Gas Drags,” said COMP Cams® Marketing Manager Chris Douglas. “While the Pump Gas Drags requires participants to drive 28 miles on the street before making three timed drag strip runs, using only a limited amount of 93 octane fuel, the Hot Rod Drag Week is a grueling five day event, covering 1500 miles and five different drag strips.”

As noted, the overall winner of the event was Carl Scott, whose 1967 Nova suffered four burned pistons in Kentucky, due to a faulty fuel system component. Scott and a host of goo d friends spent the night in the Beech Bend Raceway Park pits rebuilding the entire engine. Forsaking sleep, the red Nova team arrived the next day at National Trail Raceway in Columbus, OH, where Scott laid down an 8.60 second run at 157.25 mph to prove that he was the guy to beat. Running COMP Cams® roller rockers, valve springs, retainers, locks and pushrods, Scott consistently ran 8.60 seconds or better to collect the class win and overall championship.

Other class winners included Jay Brown’s 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 (COMP Cams® roller camshaft and lifters), earning the Big Block Naturally Aspirated category, and Eric Niefert’s 383 cid-powered ’68 Camaro (COMP Cams® roller XR286R camshaft and valve train components), which won the Small Block Naturally Aspirated award. While Carl Scott earned the Big Block Power Adder award as well as top honors, winner of the Small Block Power Adder category was Jim Neuenfeldt’s amazing, all-wheel drive, street-tired 2003 Chevy Silverado (COMP Cams® camshaft, lifters, pushrods, valve springs and retainers).

In the closest Drag Week competition, Brian Corrigan’s ’83 Mercury Capri (COMP Cams® lifters) and Tom Fauglid’s ’86 Chevy Monte Carlo (COMP Cams ® Pro Magnum Rockers and ZEX™ Nitrous Oxide Perimeter Plate) battled for supremacy in the Daily Driver Class. After five days of racing, both drivers’ times averaged exactly 12.005 seconds, requiring the use of a tie breaker. As designated by Hot Rod Magazine Editorial Director David Freiburger, in the event of a tie, the highest average mph would be the winner, giving the championship to Corrigan’s subtle, manually shifted Capri.

“We were very pleased to be the event sponsor for the first ever Hot Rod Drag Week competition,” concluded Douglas. “Events such as this allow us to witness first hand the needs of our customers, as well as showcase the real-world performance of our products.”

COMP Cams®-Sponsored Hot Rod Magazine Pump Gas Drags Draws Biggest Crowd Ever


The closest final round in competition history is a fitting end to this exciting event staged at COMP Cams® headquarters.

For the third year in a row, some of the hottest, street-driven quarter mile drag cars in the country descended on the COMP Cams® headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee, for the Hot Rod Magazine Pump Gas Drags. Starting at 7 a.m. on Friday, May 12, the first of the field of 33 cars entered the COMP Cams® headquarters parking lot to begin the highly demanding tech-in procedure. Shortly after midnight, the final race was staged at Memphis Motorsports Park and Donahue Hogan in his 1964 Chevy II beat Eddie Miller in his 1973 Plymouth Duster, 8.52 seconds at 154 mph to 8.55 seconds at 159 mph, punctuating an exciting end to a long day of competition.

Of the 33 cars that participated in the third annual running of the Hot Rod Magazine Pump Gas Drags, 20 were outfitted with COMP Cam® camshafts and ancillary valve train gear. Many of the Pump Gas Drag participants used other COMP Performance Group™ company parts, including ZEX™ nitrous oxide; FAST™ EFI components, including the patented LSX™ intake manifold; RHS™ cylinder heads and TCI® drivetrain products. It was clearly a COMP Performance Group™ crowd in attendance, as throughout the day tours of the headquarters were nonstop. From the elaborate camshaft grinding area through the RHS™ cylinder head assembly room to the covert Research & Development lab, COMP Cams® played host to enthusiastic groups of racers and spectators who were privy to the inner workings of the camshaft giant. Of course, the free barbecue lunch for all participants hosted by COMP Cams® was a big hit as well.

The COMP Cams®-sponsored Hot Rod Magazine Pump Gas Drags is a unique event that requires participants to run 93-octane fuel not only for the racing portion of the competition, but also during the drive from the staging area at COMP Cams® headquarters to the Memphis Motorsports Park, some 25 miles away through rush-hour traffic. Furthermore, each vehicle is checked for total roadworthiness and safety equipment and must have functioning horns, lights and turn signals. Each car was allotted only 10 gallons of Rocket Brand fuel for the competition. Only the final eight competitors (quarter finalists) were given an extra five gallons of fuel on which to finish the event.

The change to the elimination style drag racing event was new for this year; in past years the winner being determined purely on the basis of quickest elapsed time performance over three quarter mile runs. It was evident from the first round that the racing format made for a much more exciting event, with the ability to cut a good light determining the winning racer in many rounds of competition. Clearly the largest crowd ever to watch the event was due in part to the new racing format – and they were not disappointed.

“We were proud to be the title sponsor of the Pump Gas Drags again this year,” stated Chris Douglas, Marketing Director for COMP Cams®. “Not only was the event much more exciting with the real racing style format, we were proud to be involved with such a quality event where so many of the racers are running our products. It was a great chance for us to give back to the racers who support us all year long.”

The rules were simple:

Street legal with license, registration, & insurance.

No sponsors, decals, commercialism on the cars.

We drain the gas from the fuel tank to the fuel pump, then give each car 15 gallons of 93 octane to make it to the track 33 miles away through town & traffic, and make their runs without re-fueling.

Each vehicle gets three runs, the fastest average time wins.

WINNER:
Robert Schmiitt in his 1967 Chevelle
9.37 second average at 147mph on pump gas and using a Comp Cam.

Im not sure if this can help me but i was told to check for power on the o2 heater circuit heres all 6 wires in the o2 sensor connector while unplugged from the o2. My results were the yellow wire had 2.5v red 2.8v orange 12.81v white .51v black 2.93v green 2.88v. All these readings are key on engine off. I found I hard to decipher the wiring diagram for the o2 sensor so I'm unsure of what wire is used to heat the o2 but I can say that even after 15 minutes all the wires maintained the same voltage. I would also like to state again that as soon as the engine is started an o2 sensor code sets and even after warm I have to cycle the key to clear the code. Also when I cycle the key to reset the o2 sensor I find that I get a hard start and must crack the throttle to start but right after starting the code will clear and the o2 starts reading and continues to work until I let the vehicle sit for about half an hour or more. Thanks in advance for any help anyone could provide. ]]> Im with the other guy that just posted about his o2 ive made multiple calls and sent emails tryn to get tech support.

Read about the interference issues tripping this code. I figured I wired something that was picking up noise so I routed separate power wire, ground wire, and switched 12v out of the door and around the side straight to the battery. I also routed the branch of wires for the o2 sensor out the door and running away from the main loom right where it branches off in the supplied harness and straight to the sensor with no wires near it. I even disconnected the radio inside the car. I have the computer mounted inside the car by the way. Anyhow I can't get the code to go away so I can start doing the AL part and get the car back to the customer. I have called fast tech support. Told the guy the issue, got forwarded to a voicemail box, left a message and haven't heard back. Called back three times sense then and sat on hold for 10 minutes each time before giving up. This is extremely frustrating pissing off a bunch shop time losing more and more money on the job. Can someone please help me? ]]> New installation on a 69 camaro.

I was discussing this with another member of corral.net and he makes it sound like there's no way to tune around this and that I should ditch the NMU for a different wet EFI kit with regular solenoids. I want to know if this guy is just blowing smoke or if I really should consider ditching the NMU. Thanks. ]]> Does the NMU really dump in way too much extra fuel just to be "safe"?

what are the actual capabilities of this kit? i see the advertised rating is 55-75hp. will this kit be able to supply a 125-150 shot? are the nmu's all the same between the universal efi kits?

and second, i've noticed that if the car has been sitting out in the the sun for 6 hours or more, the nitrous solenoid will not open, only the fuel solenoid will open. it takes about an hour of either driving the car, or parking the car in shade, for the nitrous solenoid to start working.

We have a 69 camaro in shop with a 4L60 and the TCI trans controller. I'm looking for a complete wiring schematic - we got this car dumped on us with everything half installed and no instructions with the car. I think I have everything hooked up right. The control unit communicates with my laptop, but I can't drive the car yet to finalize the tune. I have a few extra wires that are not labeled that I would like to know what they are/where they go, or if they're even used on my application. I also would like to know if there is an output for a speedometer signal. This car is using an autometer electronic speedo. Thanks for your help. ]]> Hi.
