okay well I'm not near 200hp, yet. I wanna give the car sometime before I go nuts and over my head.

I would have gotten a GTU or GXL but the car has the parts for the 5 lug swap, it was included with the price with the car, it just lacks the wheels and tires

I did though just locate a 4.10 diff and 12a tranny on the side note.

and that other one is gone already, he had 2 cars and pretty much the other one was rusty and he placed some things into the non rusty one and I wish he still had the hood

and I'd get the hood but chicago to the WV, not really worth it heh


oh and MaczPayne: I love my snap on tools too, I had to spend alot of dough for them but I got them at half off but the downer of it was that funds were supposed to go to the 240 for boosting, but I know I'd need and use the tools more.

oh and do ninjas beielve in santa? :P

That's not quite true.

Running rich for long periods will continually wash the oil film off the housings and seals. This increases wear significantly. It can also thin out the oil enough (given enough time)to the point where it seriously effects lubrication, causing excessive wear and possible damage.

The Walbro is doing no good, only bad. Remove it from the car and install the proper pump.

The Walbro pumps a lot of fuel and the stock FPR usually sucks and can't maintain X psi. My car ran around 5-10psi over stock because the FPR.
It's not that the stock fuel pressure regulator sucks, it's just that it was never designed to bypass the kind of flow that a pump like the Walbro outputs.
