S-Trim Installation Questions??

quick89gt · 04-06-2001, 08:49 PM

Hey everyone...I got my S-Trim today, and am going to start the installation on Sunday. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for me that will make things go smoothly, or any tricks or anything like that. Anyone??
thanks...josh

Just follow the instructions.

j/k Just make sure you have all the fuel you need, cause as sson as you run it lean kiss you head gaskets good bye. Better off rich first, then lean.

Awesome! I know the feeling when the big box was at my door one Wed. afternoon. I would suggest picking up the taps if you don't have them. I had a difficult time finding the 3/8 NPT tap. Noone had them. I had to get a 1/4" line-up punch and cut it down to make the nec. hole in the oil pan. The 5/8" tapered punch I couldn't find anywhere either.

Just follow the steps and cross them off when they are 100% complete. I had some goofy things on my car that required some special attention. Just be patient and except some problems. And follow 93 Cobra R's advice. Set timing at 10, and put knob at 1 1/2. Listen for det. I had to order the 6:1 recal kit for my 30 lb. injectors, so if you have the same ( i think u do) you will need to get that or the 8:1. The supplied disc is 12:1 and will run you real rich under boost which will likely make it run crappy.

Good luck and have fun!
