Hey Guys! I've been chiming in alot on others build threads and finally figured I should really start my own. I've been on the forums for a number of years on and off. This is my second and last Terminator. I never should have sold the first. My first was HIGHROLLER's 03 SB coupe. This one was Baby J's 03 black vert. It was built by TRBO VNM as far as I understand but dropped cylinders 2,3 and 7 less than 9,000 miles later though through no fault of either of theirs I believe. So like CMNORMAN a basically new to me car goes under the knife for a major re-build.

That is a solid mod list. What are your plans?

THANKS MAN! I'm going to go back to 93 because the quality and availability of E85 here isn't great. I've found two places that test alright but they are 30 miles away from home. all the rest test around e70. I upgraded everything the previous owner did not as far as engine components and water pump and custom ground blower cams. I really just wanna be able to get in turn the key and go out for a cruise, pick my kids up from school, hit car shows, and drag race a couple times maybe. I'll have to let up at the 1/8th mile though because I'm not putting a cage in it.

So you tune it for E70 but if you get E85 or E90 one time does that make it run lean again or vice versa?

I think the best bet is to tune for 85 or whatever the "best" fuel the station you uses gets if you know the history. Then if you get lower its just a bit rich.

It might just be the winter blend too.
