    valve train finally took a shit!!

    Check the cam(s) as well. I lost a follower and it damaged the lob as a result.

    I finally found the rattle!

    Yes, it's the tank vent for fumes not captured by the EVAP system.

    Turbos :) whos running what

    Powerhouse 70mm turbo @ 21lbs of boost. Full boost just above 3K.

    Picked up a set of MT Street bias ply...need advise

    When I switched, the two notable differences (besides dialing in the tire pressure), was that I didn't need to lift if I spun off the line. Unless I got out of shape, I just stayed in it. The car will dance around a bit more than a radial but unless you get out of the grove, don't over steer it...

    I added later for racing only. Will (redfire) has the same catch can setup that I have and during one of our track outings, the oil dip stick came out of the tube on some of his runs when he was pushing 25+ lbs of boost. It was not good since oil was all over his engine and dripping off the car...

    4R70W users- Come on in

    No harm at all. I have no reservations recommending either PA or Lentech, only because I've had direct experience (either myself or people I've raced with) running 9's with manual VB on both of these transmissions with no issues.

    4R70W users- Come on in

    Does the "why" really matter? I'm sure you can find various forum comments (good and bad) on the various 4R builders. ;) I can tell you that the PA 4R works fine for me and I have had no issues with the trany after repeated 9 second TB launches. I have had issues with the converter but that's...

    It may if the wind blows right while sitting in traffic. I don't daily drive it so the occasional fumes don't bother me.

    Sure... I've boxed in red the breathers and catch can. This is the can I'm using. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/STF-5115/

    Car cuts out after launch

    +1. That's my guess too. Same thing happened to me until I realized I had to have at least 1/4 tank of fuel.

    The driver side has very little blow-by and sees mostly vacuum. The filter alone is enough on this side. The passenger side has most of the blow-by and the catch can on this side captures most of it. I don't get any oil residue on the valve covers on either side since I keep the filters clean...

    You have two options depending on emissions and how much maintenance you want to do. If your state does not check, or if you are not concerned, use a catch can & breathers to separate the oil. Vent both covers to atmosphere. If you have emissions concerns or don't want to bother with servicing...

    New Autolite design

    Just got these from Summit. Looks like Autolite is attempting to fix the plug separation issue. I service mine frequently but maybe some of you guys will benefit from this "change". Time will tell.

    love turbos but thinking about another procharger

    keep the turbo and just turn up the music... or burn a CD/mp3 of a procharge and play that. ;) IMO, it is easier to diagnose engine issues when you can actually hear it.
