    More 8 bolt flexplate questions

    What exactly is your issue? My shop ended up using that flexplate but I'm not 100% sure if they ended up having to open up the converter holes or not. I do not think they had to shim the starter.

    2003 MM with just over 10k miles in North AL

    Not my car, seen it at a local body shop. Car looked very nice, showed just over 10k on odometer. Guy says it's his dad's car and is asking $15K. Said he turned down $12k, but I got the impression he would negotiate. I was in a rush, so didn't study it too much, or see engine bay... but...

    What powers the car when running, the ALT or the Battery?

    I have always been under the impression that the battery runs the car, and the alternator charges the battery. Of course if you unhook the battery, the car will still run, though I have been told this is not good for an alternator... I have also always heard that charging a dead battery is...

    MAV2 OBD II Protocol????

    http://www.sctflash.com/products.php?PID=65&VID=#1 I am not sure if the device comes with preloaded tunes for a Marauder; but it has preloaded tunes for "most popular cars." If you have a custom tune from an SCT dealer/tuner, then preloaded tunes are disabled. I got mine from Reinhart in...

    MAV2 OBD II Protocol????

    Sorry, I will clarify. I have an 04 MM... I have the iTSX device, which is kinda similar to that device in the pictures, but it is made by SCT. It is a datalogger/programmer which works with the SCT iTSX smartphone application via bluethooth. It can load tunes and modify the custom tunes...

    MAV2 OBD II Protocol????

    I have the ITSX from SCT and when I use the software on the laptop to connect to the device and read from the car, the livelink uses the "RZASA" strategy in scp mode. The itsx device, when connected to Bluetooth via smartphone, it reports "rzasa2" I believe. I would like to know how well...

    Max "safe" ballpark timing advance range for our motors with blowers on em?

    The vortech tech said their max impeller RPM (52Kish depending on model)is a function of the bearings, but also said plenty of guys ignore that limit. I know of cases where guys overspin them without issue, but at some point efficiency drops off and generates more heat, which would begin to...

    Max "safe" ballpark timing advance range for our motors with blowers on em?

    Well I am running close to about as much boost as I think this little blower will give me... It is the smaller Novi1200, and I have an 18% damper with the 3.33 pulley. The max suggested impeller speed of 5200RPM is maxed out at just about 6200 engine RPM according to the calculator. I know I...

    Max "safe" ballpark timing advance range for our motors with blowers on em?

    So I have a snow kit that I was thinking of using, tested it and made sure the controller and pump still worked. Talked with the guy about using it and he recommended that it would be of no use unless adding extra timing to the tune, where if it failed it could cost a motor. I was thinking...

    Max "safe" ballpark timing advance range for our motors with blowers on em?

    What would be the max "safe" ballpark figure for timing advance range for our motors with blowers on em? I know it is a loaded question and depends on quite a few factors, but where is the number where one might start getting concerned? Seems like I have seen the 14* number thrown around a...
