I just get this beatifull Z's top end back together and it's running great. A coworker and I go to lunch in it and the alternator freezes up. Luckily it happened right in front of a customers shop we do work for. Oreilleys says the will have a rebuilt one ready to pick up at 4:30 today.

You right , Life is good.

Much worse could happen.

so when are you going to begin the frame off restoration? Hehe....good news man....any seat of the pants difference? You aren't going to have it tuned until the exhaust is done right? How about a mail order tune in the mean time?

he has a tune from me that is a copy of my black car. the only diff is i have jeal headers and a dr gas exhaust. the tune might be a tad rich till he get headers. my car made 419 rwhp and 383 tq on coreys dyno .his port job is a dead on copy of the black car also . no need for him to spend 400 on a dyno session .for max of maybe a 5hp gain . i gave him a copy of my prom .hope this helps

Its running great accept the idle is kinda high. Between 1500-2000rpms. I do think it would benifit from a tune. Its gonna be a while till Corey can make me some Jeals. But I can sure feel the difference especially in the top end.

rick you might ck for a vacume leak. do you have a scan tool so you can ck the position of the iac and the tps.you can use a propane torch with a hose on the nd of it run ti over you vac connections if you have a leak the idle will go up .hope this helps . the idle on that prom is set for 900-950 due to the light weight flywheel in the black car

But usually when I have a vacume leak my vacume pump will cycle allot and sometimes go nonstop until I find the bad connection. But anythings possible.

might be your pvc system or maybe your brake booster . my cruize control caused a high idle in the blk cvar. va hose had a little leak
