Hey Glenn,
Welcome to the crew. How about a little info on yourself and your car (pics if you have them) for those of us that might not know you from TGO. Glad to have you here!

Well thanks guys. A few do know me, but lots probably don't. I have been missing from TGO for the last little while due to health reasons. I prefer not to go into that at this time...that is my own challenge in life.

Age - Old as dirt, in fact I remember when it was invented.
Car - 1991 GTA (over 200,000 miles and doing some extra work this winter)
Current mods - Miniram with ported Aluminum L98 heads. Stepping up the cam again, going to a Crane 222/230 @ .050 this time. I don't want to get too pigish on a 200,000+ mile motor.

Winter Projects - Helping a buddy (Keith) tune his 383 Miniram AFR 195 Competion Ported engine. He's going solid roller (248/252 @ .050 with 110* LSA). We are going to make it run on MAF first and then MAYBE swap to SD - to finaly compare.

And yes, if anyone comes to Kamloops, I'lll be happy to tweak their prom. Keith and I went 'halfers' on the Innovative LM-1 WB 02 so we can get the AF ratio dialed in (as long as a person get the proper bung from Innovative and weld it into your exhaust)...it's the ONLY way to tune an engine! I'm more than happy to share "tuning tips" with anyone who wants to know. I don't tell everything on TGO.

And hi to Dewey and Dan...yes we did loose touch. I had to change my e-mail due to "spammers" at TGO and only recently "re-listed" it (with anti-spam bot info embedded in the e-mail...but not here at this time).

Hey Glenn, good to see you here.. it's been a while since we chatted..

Cool Glenn. There are others here that are almost as old as dirt and have the hair to prove it (or not Wink

).

I will be interested in your tuning of the AFR 383. I have had issue after issue with mine but I finally picked up an LM-1 myself. It is so nice to see what is actually going on. We had tuned the car for our annual dyno gathering last year based on NB feedback and ended up > 10:1 AFR on the dyno Shocked

. Another member here was having issues and finally went with the Holley Commander. Keep us posted if you will.

Thanks for the info on the car - sounds like a nice GTA. We need more birdies here Cool

-Schultzy

P.S. What color is your GTA?

Well thanks Shultzy. The GTA is black. It's a great "20 foot car". It's a great war horse that served me well in the "good times & bad times" since the day I bought it off the showroom floor back in 1991.

But, she now is in "the pasture" and she will only see "pleasure duty" for now. With the super high mileage, I don't dare try and coax any more ponies out of her. Still doesn't burn any oil whatsoever...but she is starting to "dribble a little".

Unfortunately, other priorities stop me from dumping more cash into her at this time. I have things I want to do to our new house (like make a third BIG BAY garage/workshop) where I can pull the motor and disassemble/reassemble her. Also, I would like to take "body shop" coarses and learn how to do some body work. I will practice on the "winter beater' first before I do anything to the 'Bird.

But the biggest hurdle is working on my health. If I and the doctors can't figure out how I can "get more engergy", I probably am not going to be able to work much longer. And while I am old, I am not old enough to qualify for even early retirement. I need to hang in there for another 10 years before I qualify.

If you want to discuss tuning issues with your car, let's chat in the "Garage". Do you have a Romulator? Keith and I are "partners" on a Romulator and the LM-1. Keith lives in Ferndale and it's my turn to visit him (and pick up those "good 'ol made in the USA parts"), maybe we can tag up and see if we can help out.

A Romulator and WB makes tuning such a snap, it's almost sinful.

Glenn,

Can you explain more about the Romulator and WB for me? I basically decided doing chip tuning by myself would never work, and put my focus on something else I knew I could do. And so was born the Pro Series 13" Wilwood front brake kit, and new design billet strut mounts.

Damn. I love the PNW. Some guys know how to tune, some guys know how to turn, and some know how to stop. We all get togeher all our cars with haul ass.

Welcome glenn!
