Ok, after driving my 01 for the summer I had a suspicion I may have a head gasket issue...The last few cold starts have blessed me with a coolant smell/smoke from the tail pipes.:rollseyes....It didn't overheat or anything but I've been slowly going down on coolant with no visable leaks other...

We went to our local strip last weekend to watch, dad and my cousin Buzz offered to pony up half my entry fee if I wanted to make some passes....First off - I'm a rookie at best - I suck....This was my 4th time at the strip....First with this car...:loser:....I made 3 passes...

What is the normal operating temp for a stock 01???...My car just has the factory idiot gauges at this point, it runs just under 1/2 the gauge all the time...I used my temp gun on the discharge pipe leaving the engine, it showed 208-210F....I know it's not 100% accurate but is this...

I'm building a 95 Teskid block up to put in my 01 with the blower that I'm buying from Gallows, I hope to find a decent price on a new or used stock forged crank for it so I can leave my stock block alone when I pull it. the goal is to make streetable 450-500RWHP with the used Vortech setup.

If I put the trans in nuetral and let the clutch up it can be a bitch to get in gear when you push the clutch down the next time....Not dis-engaging enough I guess???....Maybe a pilot bearing taking a dump/siezing up?. Is this normal for the 3650 trans? It's less of an issue when the car is...
