But if pushed the polys won't come back like the rubber. I killed a brand new set of lower arm polys in one day at the strip ( 25 runs @1.7X ) When installing them, the steel inner liner was a stiff hand push in, after the day at the track the liner fell out when I took the arms off You could see the inner hole in bush was deformed

Is the only decent intake comparison around
Not perfect because the cam was not optimized for each intake ( cam used better suited to short runner intakes ) but shows the Perf attributes of the differing intake types if you compare the graphs None of the long runner style intakes( even aftermarket big tube versions ) run big revs but make impressive bottom end torque

Recall they are long discontinued.
White Racing have the correct part # VSS listed but state it is for '90+ cars which had 4000 pulse VSS; not 2000 pulse like earlier TPI cars http://www.whiteracingproducts.com/in ... ath=237_34&products_id=54

If you have a fan can mount cooler anywhere as you are not reliant on air flow.
Some have mounted cooler horizontal at rear behind diff Deeper pan on C4 may have ground clearance problems; more so if car lowered

You " may " have to trim the output shaft down because Vette T700 has shorter shaft
I didn't when I used a non Vette trans in mine but Pete has repeatedly stated he has had to do it on all that he has done

Perfect sense. GM RPO G92 denotes that a non base optional "performance" ratio" ,what ever it may be has been installed . Is is not a identifier of the actual ratio In the case of auto C4's ; 3.07 was the only optional ratio available so G92 is commonly confused as being for that ratio.In other GM lines there may be more than one G92 option ratio available And for the pedantic out; there only other G92 C4 ratio was the 3.31 available in '84 on the 4+3 cars .410 had this option

What surprised me, was that the fp relay only energizes for "exactly" 2 seconds on start-up, then turns off.....by most accounts, it should stay-on.....I know from reading others, it stays on, and the oil pressure switch is then just a back-up..... but, its not the way it works on my 85.... the Oil pressure swtich is actually the main source of power for the fuel pump..... go figure. I have two different 85 ecm's, they both work the same. Strange What you describe is correct operation for all L98 engines; the ECM primes the pump for 2 sec then switches off. When the OP switch closes @ 4psi it is supposed to power up the pump directly and at the same time the ECM sees the voltage ( from the pump line )supplied to connection at #17 showing OP is over 4psi When ECM sees that signal and the pulse from the dist the ECM then runs the relay. As you note the OP switch is supposed to enable you to start ( with extra cranking )and run the pump should the relay fail From L98 Start Sequence ECM Reaction: If the ECM sees oil pressure greater than 4 PSI and the reference pulses from the distributor, it will energize the injector drivers which will begin pulsing the injectors on for 4 ms (milliseconds) periods. The ECM will also pull in the fuel pump relay in effect paralleling it electrically with the oil pressure switch. 85 pump diagram [IMG]http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u309/vetteoz/electrical/Pump.jpg[/IMG]
