Thats contrary to my experience, and Hartmans.... These two snips were taken from his book "How to Tune and Modify Engine Management Systems". My findings don't always jive with his, but often enough to justify reading his stuff.

According to Jeff Hartman...

Do you mean to say that you measure power on both sides or that you ran power to both sides? Former is correct and the latter is not.

Not everyone would agree I've never seen an engine that was 'happiest' with one AFR across the board. I've only occasionally seen an engine make MBT (mean-best-torque) at 12.5. Most NA motors are a bit 'soft' at 12.5 and frequently even at 12.8. I commonly see MBT in the 13.3-13.5 range, sometimes leaner, sometimes richer, and never the same from one RPM range to the next.

Tony, I did some searching on the PST 597 without much luck. Google, McmasterCarr, etc. The closest thing I could find is a Loctite product 592. http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:PhdwvMWOHzIJ:www.barnhillbolt.com/specs/loctite592tds.pdf+%22pst+592%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=safari http://rshughes.com/products/079340_59231.html Is 592 interchangeable for our purposes? Thanks,

Wiki D thinks he knows 'all that', but the reality is that the NFPA shut that facility down. We're not supposed to get into politics around here, so were not going down that road... lets just say some people are no longer 'with us'. And Libia?... PM me if you really want to know.

Woohoo! Sorry I couldn't make the session today

WRONG on both accounts. Only a flux capacitor will work in this application. Sheeesh.

Age has little to do with anything. 16 years ago tomorrow, I married a woman twice my age... I'll be the last to concede age is meaningful. If you present yourself with reverence, you'll receive the same... in spades. Those that care about your age, don't get it.

Bo, I hate to say it, but the heads gotta come off. Its either the headgasket (likely), or a cracked head (unlikely), or cracked block (very unlikely). Sorry Chief,

Adding to the others' comments, there's a lot more that contributes to ride quality/harshness than springs. Shocks, tire construction/profile, unsprung weight (especially as you get stiffer), bushings, etc. But don't forget the most important factor... you. Everyone, even amongst the hard-core, has dissimilar tolerance levels. You'll just have to experiment and decide for yourself what's 'streetable'.

I've played with some of the bars listed, and even a couple homemade jobs. For my purposes, LT1 powered autocross car, I like the stiff spring/small bar approach. Controlling pitch has been a big factor in improving times. Once the springs do that, I've found less dependancy on the bar's. In fact, the bars just hinder compliance and especially corner exit bite (rear bar). As JohnC mentioned, shocks play a significant role in making this viable. I ran without a rear bar as much as possible, but Eugene has some really tight courses (I think they're world famous for it ) and I was never able to fully compensate elsewhere. A stock rear bar is about all I can stand. I've also had good success with this strategy on other cars.

Google Lokar.

I don't see the problem... it works for me

I don't doubt what you saw... I just don't have a solid answer

That is classic

Ahhh, but the video say's "Located off Hwy 26 on the way to Sandy". I live in Sandy, so I'm pretty familier with this Hwy and dealership. Notice the addresses listed on the home page... http://suburbanautogroup.com

Last year, just before you got into Sandy, there was a billboard advertising trunk monkey and Suburban. I can't comment on local TV... well.. because I don't have one

You sure did. That thing looks like a hoot! I bought my wife a Subaru sedan a couple years ago.... never had much prior interest Sube's. Its been a great vehicle and has inspired me to learn more. Your wagon is too cool. Sorry for the tangent,

"New"? They're 20 years old. If you don't know what something is, how can you have an opinion? Further, this forum promotes diversity. Get used to it.

I'll third that. Best Regards,

The better assumption is that the previous owner swapped the dash.
