Well, I took the XE262 out and put the stock cam back in. It runs good again. I took out my 3.23's and pulled the 3.73's out of my 86 S-10. I put the 3.73's in the T/A and what a difference. Yes, I have a posi. My next mod will be a full exhaust from headers to tailpipes. The XE262 will end up in there again, I just think I have to mess with metering rods or jets to get it to idle right. Adjusting the mixture screws didnt have ANY effect at all. Oh well, it fries the tires off a punch now and kicks the *** end out when it shifts into second. I know someone with a Performer EGR manifold...would that be worth putting on???
