Re: New L31 TBI buildup -- thoughts/advice?

Also, I downloaded Comp's CamQuest 6 software and plugged in some conservative numbers:

1.94 intake valve, 1.50 exhaust valve, 500cfm flow rate, GM TBI intake, small-tube headers, mufflers with...

Re: New L31 TBI buildup -- thoughts/advice?

I should mention another reason why I want to keep my rear gears as they are is that I've had that rear end worked on about four times in all before they finally got it right, i.e. quiet with no...

Re: New L31 TBI buildup -- thoughts/advice?

Yeah, it will be for mainly just cruising down the highway and a few back country roads, taking the wife out on dates, etc. What do you mean by surging--would that be the engine speed intermittently...

Hi all, hope everyone's doing well. I've always gotten lots of good advice and feedback here at thirdgen.org.

I have a 1991 Camaro RS with 5.0 TBI and 700R4, and I am finally getting ready to...

Re: 700R4 Shift Points are now FIXED? What now?

Thanks--I see his name a lot and he has by all accounts a sterling reputation. If I ever do start monkeying with my 700R4 again, I will try and get his advice.

Re: 700R4 Shift Points are now FIXED? What now?

Okay, so I just held my nose, took it back to the shop and had them replace the valve body thereby undoing whatever permanent mods had been made to the original valve body. Shift points are back to...

Re: 700r4 Corvette Servo

I'm curious about this--has anyone tried this billet servo at all? Any feedback to share? I now have a corvette servo in mine but the shifts don't feel that much more firm than stock. (It was...

Re: 700R4 Shift Points are now FIXED? What now?

Well I had the governor replaced today with a factory OEM 700R4 governor, just in case the original governor had been modified and was causing the late shifts. No change in the shift points, so that...

Re: ZZ4 or L31 Longblock? which way should I go?

I've been thinking about exactly that combination--the Trickflow heads with 175cc intake ports and 58cc combustion chambers would seem to work well with TBI and give a lot of nice low-to-midrange...

Re: trick flow 23* for 305

No need to apologize. I still think of getting those heads, though, and putting them on a ZZ4 or L31 short block with a 50mm TBI setup on top. Seems like a combination that would make lots of nice...

Interesting link! The procedure they're describing is pretty much what I remember the second transmission shop doing for me when I took the car to them and described my problem to them. They made a...

Re: 700R4 Shift Points are now FIXED? What now?

Thanks for that ... I've been trying to digest it over the past couple weeks. I did take it to a shop that checked the throttle valve cable; they made some kind of minor adjustment to it, test drove...

700R4 Shift Points are now FIXED? What now?

First let me state that I know very little about the inner workings of transmissions.

Mine is a 700R4 in a 1991 Camaro RS with 2.75 rear gears. I wanted to get it modified in such a way that it...

Re: Magnaflow 93456 Direct Fit Catalytic Converter - Highly Recommended!

The new cats have been in place for about two weeks now. Had a local machine shop weld them in. So far, so good. No more rattles, and the exhaust has a nice clean rumble. Very happy with the...

Re: Magnaflow 93456 Direct Fit Catalytic Converter - Highly Recommended!

Those are cool-looking, bet they'd be ideal for the tight space under the passenger footwell where the dual cats are. But the shop is already underway with the magnaflows.

Very intriguing though....

Re: Magnaflow 93456 Direct Fit Catalytic Converter - Highly Recommended!

A while ago I purchased the Catco 4153 "direct fit" dual cat setup (equivalent to factory option N10) for my 1991 RS. Had it retrofitted into my car just over 6 months ago (along with headers and a...
