Picked up a 96 GT yesterday but having issues. Its smoking badly at WOT (white primarily), is rich as hell @ anywhere from 11-17 lbs on the AEM A/F gauge, smells rich at idle but just smells burnt at and after WOT, not sure it smells like fuel or what.
Right when my buddy and I got it home after the 250 mile track back ffom
Washington to Oregon, we noticed fresh oil on the passenger side valve cover, top of the TB, blower and electrical plug directly under the blower charge pipe (the pipe that runs from the blower to the TB/Intake).
I need some help figuring out what the issue is with oil getting everywhere, why it blows white smoke at WOT and what the fix is. Is it safe to drive? Should I take it directly to a tuner to have them throw it on the dyno to see what the issue might be? I don't have money to do this, but if it's required, I'll have to.
Mods and questions to go along with them:
-PI Windsor heads
-BBK LTs
-BBK Catless H
-Turbo mufflers dumped
-Alky Control Meth Kit w/Vortech Aftercooler
-Edelbrock Vic Jr. Sir gap manifold w/elbow
-Edelbrock fuel lines
-Aeromotive fuel pump
-Accufab 90mm TB
-AEM Wideband
-Vortech Power Pipe
1.) Car is currently running a 2.75" 8 rib pulley allegedly making 14 PSI. Should I throw the 3.13" 6 rib back on with a new belt so it's safer to run? I think it was supposed to make 6 or 7 lbs with this pulley . Any idea what my psi would drop down to?
2.) Alky Control meth kit w/Vortech Aftercooler. The owner told me he's been running it at 6 on the dial. Have to prime the Alky anywhere from 3-4 times and have to repeat the process something 3 or 4 times of trying to crank for her to finally fire. What should I be running this at?
3.) the car is not intercooled. I was looking into the CX Racig 3 car kit w/BOV, as I understand it will drop PSI down a couple of lbs but you'll maintain power levels with less risk. If I intercool the car, which of the 2 pulleys would I run to make no more than 10 psi so the short block doesn't blow up?
4.) Should I take it to Chung at Blue Oval to get on the dyno before doing any of this? If j make a pulley change to the larger size, would the car run less psi and would I need to have it tuned ASAP or could I drive it with no ill effects?
