Are you running a lockup or nonlockup torque converter?

IHADAV8 Playground / Re: Is it just me or are the differences in West Coast & East Coast TRs for sale odd?

I think alot of the differences come into play when the car has lived its life in the rust belt or not.  I know that down in the South all the way to the west coast the amount of rust on the cars is greatly reduced since the roads are not salted in the winter time due to snow. :smt031

SuperSix how is your speedometer doing now?  Did that new one piece cable fix it?  Mine is going to get replaced soon.  I should have replaced it when the dash was installed.

Recklessrob is exactly right.   Without an accumulator, the pump would have to run all of the time.   Which by the way is a sign that the accumulator is bad.

I entirely agree with that. I had a low speed cooling
fan problem that was causing my car to run at approximately
206 deg. If my initial IAT temps were about 130 degrees, the car was
a slug. If the lanes moved fast my IAT would go to about 80,
and the car would fly. That was with hot coolant temps. With
the coolant te,ps down to about 170 the car was faster,but
not as much difference as having the lower IAT temps.

I also think that lower inlet air temps are more important than hot coolant temp.  I have the Big Mouth kit and like it alot.
