    Return fuel / vent questions

    I keep getting comments about a very strong gas smell when I accelerate hard. It is only smelt behind the car. Car has a return fuel system. How does the vent system work on these cars?

    Vortech / Paxton MPG

    Vortech / Paxton tune questions

    I just got my latest combo running and want to hear from other owners about how theirs drive. The things I have noticed: I have a very slight surge when cruising at a slow speed like say 5 mph in a parking lot. The idle hunts a bit when I come off throttle. A/F ratio is constantly back & forth...

    Which engine bolts are TTY?

    I have found mixed info. on most of this. Obviously the head bolts are TTY. What other bolts are TTY for a complete engine assembly? I have read that the cam cap bolts are TTY and that the oil pump bolts are. I assume on the oil pump that that would be the bolts that actually hold the pump...
