    BTR quality

    Well I went ahead and purchased the V2 BTR trunion kit as I am expecting to send back the V1 kit for a refund. Received the V2 kit which is supposed to be better with pressed on hardened bearing inner surfaces and one of the trunions received looked like this.......... W.T.F.!!! I notified...

    BTR quality

    Got them from michiganmotorspors which is a verified BTR reseller. I have been talking with them for a possible solution. It shouldn't be their problem as they are just a reseller but BTR seems to think the same.

    BTR quality

    I recently did some valve train work to my 5.3. Bought the BTR .560" valve springs and their V1 trunnion kit. During the installation of the trunnion kit the very first pair I installed did not feel smooth at all. The rotation felt like a zip tie. Closer examination of the trunnion bearing...

    Show off your valve covers and engine bays

    Yes, it was quite devastating, but the Lord had his hand on me that day. Hydroplaned, swapped ends, went across two lanes of traffic at 7:45am (rush hour), missing oncoming traffic but flew over a curb and t-b on ed a tree on the drivers door. I was quite lucky, all I got was a cut on my...

    TBI on a dual plane Manifold??

    Ken, a spacer under the TBI unit is also slightly beneficial. This is where it IS similar to carburetors. It lenghtens the path for the air/fuel mixture. An open spacer, open between the two TBI bores, evens out the mixture as well. Same benefits as spacers under carbs. Now multi-port FI...

    TBI on a dual plane Manifold??

    Erik, that Engine Masters link is for dual/single plane intakes for carbureted applications. TBI is quite different in regards to needing the smaller plenum volume for low end torque. The computer controlled TBI can be programmed to compensate and exceed the old carbureted single plane idealogy...

    TBI on a dual plane Manifold??

    It's been a while but I clearly remember that when I went from the common dual plane intakes (stock & Holley) to a single plane (Weiand 7525) on my TBI it was a tremendous improvement. None of that single plane low end loss that you hear about when using carbs because of the TBI. I would highly...

    First year of extended cab with opening rear door to the back seat?

    '96 was the first year for the third door, it was only on one side though. It was also the first year for vortec 5.7 with the awesome spider injection system and the radio antenna with the twisted wire to decrease wind noise. Brian
