    Default New member, new combo.

    I finally made my way over here to check out the 4 eye site.

    I always wanted an '86 GT and I found this one a few months back with a blown headgasket for a good price. I tore the motor down and began making it what I wanted.

    I installed ARP Head studs, Cometic MLS gaskets, Had the AFR 185 heads freshened with valve job and new stainless valves, New Trick Flow R-series Upper/lower and 75mm Trick Flow TB and EGR Block off plate. I studded the intake and headers and put on a nice set of Comp cam's valve covers and the intake required a 1 inch spacer. It has a 5 speed and 3.73's and BBK Long tubes with 1 chambers and E.T Streets.

    I have a brand new Vortech V-3 Si Trim in the box waiting to go on but I want to get the bugs (vacume issues) out of this car first.

    What do you think it will run on motor?

    Thanks. I can't wait to get it running better and buttoned up so I can feel confidant about putting the blower on it.

    Stock HO cam? Eliminating the EGR valve sometimes cause's idle issue's. I can't really tell from the pic but does your MAP sensor on the fire wall have a vacuum hose attached to it? Only speed density cars should have a vacuum hose,with mass air the nipple should be left open to the atmosphere not plugged off.
