Finished installing 3500 UIM with spacers on Black TGP - big difference in TQ, NOW tune is off.

On newly painted TSTE installed new power antenna & auto dimming mirror.

that is where you or someone else goes into the computer or (brain) for your specific car and makes changes in the compouter to enhance performance or to fix problem areas.

KennyK (TGPilot) and Flybynite do tunes for our cars and if you dont have one get on - it will be a night and day difference!!!

**my "tune" is off now because of the 3500 UIM so the change of the air volume going into my cylinders needs to have my Air-fuel-ration changed to match it.

You have a 3500 intake tune?
Is it for a manual?

As far as I know nobody has a 3500 UIM tune.  My tune was for my 3400 top end.

yesterday changed both lower balljoints and wheel hub assemblies. no more clunking or high speed shakes.  Within the last week : Fixed vacuum leaks , finally made egr block-off plate, swapped TBs, new O2 sensor, changed oil and filter, relocated front valve cover breather...  found and installed clutch resevoir diaphragm that i missplaced long ago, finally hooked up reverse lights .  Got rained out this weekend tho, havnt gotten to drive it more than around the block...  so unfortunatley getting the piss beaten out of it was not on the list : )

Where do I begin... I was driving North on Rt. 26 going to KFC before work. Then all of a sudden I heard a horn blaring and a Jeep grand cherokee had started to pull out in front of me I slammed on the brakes and swerved to miss but still clipped him.

True everybody is okay. Also I took it to Cordova's Midnight Mayhem and pulled a 14.2 in the quarter mile and after three runs called it a night. Now I can start the tear down and rebuild I have  been wanting to do. I'll keep you guys posted.
