If you ever have any transmission trouble just weigh your options on a built 60E or a 80E.


good luck with your new found power
i just sent some money for my new turbo setup
i turboed mine because i wanted to see how much ttorque i could make, it does help a ton towing and thats what i wanted. i couldnt see trying to make a 4 door truck or suv fast. i mean on 20psi in a yukon it may run a low 8 in the quarter and break everything doing it. id rather stay home then run a low 8.

now put that 5.3 on 20psi in a mustang and you have something.

Guys quick question

where do I put the one way valve to keep from having positive crank case press? the vacuum / boost port on the pass side of the manifold or the vaccum line that use to go to the intake tube?

I also started installing my gauges. The fuel pressure is 60 on the cold start and about 1 min after drops to 43psi. idle and WOT it stays right at 43. is this what you guys are seeing too?

did you guys light your gauges using the 87 pole on the headlight relay or pull power from under the dash? i am thinking about changing the power and light source to under the dash and both on with key on.

I bought new exhaust gaskets too just incase.

UPS says kit should be dropped off today
