    Fuel injection tuner in inland empire?

    Did the motor ever run correctly with 80 lb injectors and 52 psi fuel pressure? I have a feeling the answer is no. 80 lb injectors and 52 psi is a lot of fuel for a 454. You would need some serious fuel trim changes to the BPW/MAP/RPM tables from a stock tune. Do you have wide band...

    Air fuel ratio gauge

    Properly installed it will not be a factor. I use Innovate stuff and have gone over 10 years running it full time.

    Re-pipe with PEX?

    Manufacturer claim of 100 years. My copper has failed multiple times in 30 years. Copper is great, not knocking it if you get the good stuff. PEX A is just so slick for install and connecting.

    Re-pipe with PEX?

    Yes. PEX A is better for flexibility and the fact that fitting ID is larger. I eliminated a ton of elbows with PEX A. Just run it contiguously from point A to B. For long runs it can be incredibly fast. Plus if you dick it up you can easily cut the fitting and redo it. PEX B is fine too...

    Re-pipe with PEX?

    Just be advised there are basically 4 kinds of PEX. I would recommend PEX A. PEX A has a different chemical composition than PEX B and the other two. PEX A has several advantages over PEX B. PEX A requires one of the expansion tools as it is shrink to fit. (it is always trying to shrink...

    Mercury Evolution 19P prop $375

    Stamping shows it as a 19" pitch. Was it worked over to make it a 21"?

    SOLD - 2015 Chevrolet SS

    Just to add what some others have alluded to, this car is a unicorn and an absolute 'have your cake and eat it too" kind of cars. Will run with or beat the M5 referenced to but be way more reliable. V8 sound, check (LS3), bi-mode exhaust, check, mag ride, check, full size spare, check, Nav...

    Hill Props 5 Blade has anyone tried one? If not you should. Worked fantastic everywhere on my Hallett 210

    I can't comment on the Hill 5 blade, but I can comment on your Rev 4 21" vs 23" comparison. The Rev 4 has a LOT of blade area, which means more transmission of power engine power to boat motion. It also means it loads the motor more. I don't think the 377 will spin a Rev 4 to 5200 rpm. It...

    Prop Question

    I'm not seeing the Yamaha Saltwater series in two different diameters with the same pitch. Yamaha, like others typically alter diameter when pitch changes. IF its the same exact prop (blades, pitch etc) except the diameter my bet is you would be fine with a 1/4" smaller diameter.

    Prop Question

    Can't really answer the question with the information given UNLESS the two props are the same make and model, which they likely are not. Pitch has the biggest affect on rpm. Diameter much less so. The biggest wild card here is blade style and surface area of each blade. IF the two props...

    C8 Corvette Engine Fails After Only 57 Miles, Valve Spring Issue Most Likely

    No, the C5 Z06's were a bad batch of springs (LS6). The C6 Z06 LS7 had a lot of dropped valves due to poor valve guides/machining in the heads. Caused the valve stem to either break or hang up and then disassemble the motor.

    Hey mountain bikers - tubes or tubeless?

    Remember it's a tubeless system, not just the tire. Wheel (rim), spokes, liner and tire should all be tubeless design. Just make sure all the parts and pieces are up to snuff. Personally I still use tubes but am also running older equipment.

    Anyone been to Hawaii lately?

    If you like going to East Berlin then go to Hawaii. I would avoid it.

    Bomb shell where have I been and what Have I been up to

    No you make a 1/4 mile track and they can set the lights and traps at the 1000' mark, 1/4 mile mark and or 1/8. Don't short change the track use. I have zero interest in 1/8 or 1000' racing.
