That would cause you not to get to full throttle. Had that on the dyno run of the 88 back when I had it. Luckily the guy dynoing it realized it and pulled it out without missing a beat or even one dyno pull....

floor mat throttle regulator mod no good any opion's on hedman 68470 shorties, minus the crappy y pipe? ya'll see the cheerleaders lock the girl in the house and beat the piss out of her? yes, more proof of how vicious cheerleaders are. my wife was co-cap of cheer squad.

Never did headers on a thirdgen. I did Pacesetters on my 98, and they were a dream. The 8 hours I had been hearing was rediculous. I think 3 all by myself.

I used a Texas Speed y-pipe with cats, was too low, and sold that and bought the no cats. I would rather run cats for not so stinky exhaust, but it was too low.

FInd a good pipe bender, and a y-pipe should not be that big of a deal....

My headers probably took about 8 hours. Including the Y pipe also and the time getting the I pipe made and hooked up. The dag on passenger side header was a beast due to no room. Had to go from the bottom and that took some effort with bending I think an ac line thats right there on the frame. All worth it though

3rdGenWillie

is that burnt orange on ur avalanche. love that color on 4th gen ss. might have headers by next week.

theimpaler68

my floor mat got jammed and caused throotle to stick i dont know how? i got the powermaster in this afternoon. that thing is a beast youre right willie. i would like to do headers myself but later down the line. car runs and sounds better with 140amp alt though. i will put up pics later so you can see the 4 gauge wires i got for power and grounds for the big 3.

later

The camaros and vettes have Sunset Orange Metallic. The Av's have sunburst. A litte lighter, but I still love it. My nice daily driver.

3rdGenWillie

orange is my fav color on chev, dont know why. corvette, camaro doesn't matter. guy i went to school w/ dad built 70's camaro metallic orange white stripes, finest car of those years i've ever seen. mike how does higher amp make car sound better? details. and pics duh!

theimpaler68

i have more current flow so not sapping power from performance. just doesnt seem bogged down. like it has a better tone now. ill get the pics up tomorrow. the days at work have been long and tiring... and hotter than you know what. i think you will like my wires though... battery cables. lol.

3rdGenWillie

oh no, what u got some rice lookin wires in there boy.

ewwewwnotme

And maybe some stickers to go with them. You can never get enough hp from those things.

theimpaler68

added hp with powermaster sticker on the side of alt... lol

wires only look like that temporary. i will get loom and make it pretty

Hmm... looks like a 2 maybe 3 horsepower sticker.

theimpaler68

and joe with bigger wires like i did... you can get rid of that power cap on your sound system. just a thought

ewwewwnotme

Oh yea. I would need a lot of wire. Dag on alternator and battery are on opposite sides. Im going to get kwik to look at my car sunday. Next will probably be new grill and headliner.

3rdGenWillie

good man joe bout time! mike pics are worth a thousand words. let me guess those were shortest wires available? got IAT hooked into open element now. real clean too. mike isn't there delco 140amp on trucks?

theimpaler68

i want to say yes on the truck. (wires) no not the shortest. just ones i had at the house. i had bought what were supposed to be replacement lengths at the part store but positive was to short to reach the starter. so i didnt do either. i jsut kept them (in case) i needed them for anything... and i found a good use for them. if you buy them just get shortest for ground. measure what you need from batt to alt. then you will be good to go for big 3. if you look at my pics you will see the ground is from alt support bracket (which runs straight to exhaust manifold for a ground) to the strut tower mount. i grounded alt and block to the body with one try. since neg batt cable is 4 gauge already and running to the block. everything grounded nicely. that charging cable stays nice and cool now. feel your stock one after a nice drive and tell me how hot that sucker is. this is why big 3 is good thing.

3rdGenWillie

chev and pontiac r diff wire routing. joe u shouldn't have prob though if u do this.

ewwewwnotme

I was thinking about it actually. Will definitely be looking into it though.

3rdGenWillie

from what i gather the powermaster from summit is the least troublesome install. and cheaper to boot! it seems the 140amp alts from other gm products have to be modified joe you said u need new grill?

ewwewwnotme

I dont really need one, I would like to have a new one. Mine has the 3 holes in it from the liscense plate when I had it and there is some overspray on it. If I got one it would be kool but its not urgent to get one.

86 IROC

I see you went to Justin. He is a good friend of mine, I live about 5 minutes from his shop. I'm going to make some pulls over there on his dyno in a few weeks with the 2000. Kind of curious to see how the #'s compare to what I did on another dyno near the coast.
----------
Try taking the TB off, and cleaning out the IAC passage on the bottom of the TB. Also, I would look for vacuum leaks. The lines that run under the plenum get brittle with age and have been known to come apart.

ewwewwnotme

Ive never taking the Tb and cleaned the passage, just gotten a new IAC. We will see what Mike can find sunday. Hopefully we can get it back to normal.

3rdGenWillie

i emailed justin about tuning my car, he said he doesn't tune LT motors (it's stock lo3) we'll just leave it at that.

ewwewwnotme

yikes

theimpaler68

LT??? not unless we upgrade!
