I live in fallriver mas and i am looking for a place to take my 91z28 for a performance tune up. i just replaced the motor from a 305 to 350 and put all new sensors and ecm in the car and it has tons of bugs. i know its electrial but i have no tools to find out how my sensors are doing and what they are reading.so if there are any good shops for this in Mass. or RI let me know.

try ernies auto repair on barlow st. its right at the top of pleasant st.

 

Ya i have been to earnies a few times. he rebuilt my 10 bolt with 3.73's. he is a little pricey though.

 

yea but ernie knows his **** and he'll tell ya straight up. he won't lead u around in circles tellin ya it could be this or that. u know what i mean

 

89RJcamaroRS, shoot me an email if you live in the fallriver area.

 

i live in fall river. maybe u seen me around. i drive a maroon camaro with a white cowl hood

 

ya i have seen that car around town. Do you have the new GM ram jet 350 in your car? i am looking into getting that motor since the new one i have now has no oil pressure after 30 minutes of run time. how was the install of it and do you like it

 

i love my ramjet. the install was a pain in a*s. i had ralph's chevrolet put the motor in. but they wouldn't finish the job. they just dropped the motor and trans in and thats it. i had to do the rest. if ur plannin on getting that motor here's a couple of pointers.
1. do not use the oil pan that comes with the motor the y-pipe will not clear for the exhaust.
2. a 12 bolt is a must. a built 10 bolt maybe will hold up but never chance it.
3. get posi. if u don't u will thrash ur spider gears. lots of torque and i mean alot.
4. the ecm will have to be moved from the engine block to the fire wall above the heater core inlet/oulet so u can run ur heater lines.
thats just what i can remember that haunted me about the install

hope i was some help, BRIAN

 

Hey Ive seen your maroon camaro around.Bottled you never got back to me on that steering box.Maroon maybe youve seen my car around,I hyavent driven it in 2 years though,its a 89 Iroc z white with a cowl hood,I was running a Procharger at the time.Bottled,I have a scanner that can tell you whats up with your car.Are you getting any codes?Or check engine lights?You could most likley do all the work yourself.about the only thing you could do to the stock motor is up the timing and raise the FP a bit using quarters under the stock regulater.Punch out the Mass air meters screens and cut your factory air boxes.Take off your plenum and grind down the 2 little walls in the intake track.Easy stuff,Ive done it to all my friends cars.There are really no performance shops in the area,better off doing it your self.Good luck.89RS,If I see you around Ill beep.I saw you the other day,I was in my friends Eclipse.You live around durfee high school?Take it easy

 

I'm looking for a reliable shop to install some 3:73's with Eaton posi in my car. Any shops around the Bellingham area?
New England opens up in a few weeks!!! YAHOO!

 

procharged, i didnt need a steering box, the new pump i bought had a broken shaft in it so i had to change it and the problem was fixed, i no longer need a tuning shop. i found my first problem, i have no oil pressure at all with my new GM crate motor. I am now trying to figure out what i am going to do. warrnety ends on 4/04 and it only covers parts. i have to pull the tranny to drop the oil pan and dont have time right now. also, the oil is green and has tons of metal shavings in it. Pace Parts says that they will only cover parts and i have to send them the broken stuff. i guess it will be next year for the camaro to be done now

 

I thought when I spoke to you on the phone you were interested in the steering gear box,as you told me yours had alot of miles on an was in terrible shape.No big deal.

On your engine situation its probably going to cost more than its worth sending everything back and forth,because they wont warrenty anything but the parts for assembly.I have friends who have delt with a awesome engine builder in Witman Mass.He has built 4 engines for 4 of my friends,all efi.He can rebuild your broken engine for a pretty resonable price.He is a well known engine builder at NED.He is allways swamped with work and does top notch jobs.He can take your engine apart,rehone the cylinders and reasemble it correctly,and has an in house dyno to break in your motor and dyno it to make sure it is running well before it goes back in your car.Name of the place is Reids perfomance,owner Jim Reid.If you are going to gon with a local shop for the rebuild,dont bother with any of the local shops like B&K or engine service on 14th street,they do terrible work,and have saw more horror stories than I would like to come out of those clowns.Shipping on motor parts gets expensive especially when they deny your claim and blame it on you.Good luck anyway.Shoot me an email if you got some questions.

 

Hey PROCHARGE, are you and Smitty going to be at the track this year? How's your car?

 

procharged. u still have ur car. if u do why didn't u drive it for 2 years

 

Cisco's in Pawtucket, RI.....Guys name is Jack. Guy knows his sh*t and 90% of his shop is 3rd gen parts. 8) He built my 84 Z28 over....took it from a POS to one awesome piece. I was real pleased.

 

Cisco's is no longer in that location. I do not know if they moved or went out of buisness though.

 

Cisco's is gone? S**T!!! I was planning on getting my gears done there. Does anyone know of any other reliable shop?
