Would love to but don't want to go to crazy yet...

Anyone tell me why the op would have capped off the Fuel pressure regulator?

Regular Helms for a 94 has all the ZR-1 info in it correct?

With doing headers that does away with with all the AIR tubing, What about the EGR? I don't have to worry about emissions. I assume that can all be adjusted in the tune?

Speaking of tune, Who's a trusted tuner close to NE PA that can do a dyno tune?

Thanks

Could be that the fuel pressure regulator diaphragm had failed resulting in plenum vacuum sucking in extra fuel and messing with AFR. Another reason may be the previous owner falsely believed disconnecting the pressure regulator and resulting increased fuel pressure equated to more hoses.

When you get a reprogrammed chip to optimize for headers ask EGR to be programmed out.

Have most of the parts, from Gerry's, Marc's and ebay. Headers, catback, all the Gaskets, Stainless bolts, Cam cover emblems, Injectors rebuilt. Stopped up the machine shop tonight to fondle the parts being ported. Getting there.....

No, My buddy's doing it all for me. He owns Morgantini racing, and does all my machine work.
