[QUOTE="Choppylope, post: 1435334, member: 22486"] Hello, this is my first post here, I apologize for any newbie questions when it comes to specific 94-95 info. About a year ago I picked up a half built 94 gt, drove it for a while and just assumed it needed a tune because it was half built when I obtained it. Mods ( that I know of ): Procomp upper and lower IM Procomp 3037 heads X303 cam Wideband 02 Trick flow 45 degree elbow Shorty headers Welded subframe connectors Supposedly notched pistons 1.6 roller rockers Everything else is stock. I had an issue where 2 pushrods broke and I limped her home to put her in the garage to start tearing it down. ( now that its getting closer to spring Id like to get it back on the road, it sat for 6 months ) What I found is that the stock pushrods where gapped and loose on the rockers like a mechanical cam and a massive amount of wear from the guide plates on all the other Pro's. I'm currently in the process of getting the correct pushrod measurements ( with a checker of course ) and I'm trying to figure out what would be the correct setup for the rest of the car while I have it torn down. It has the stock speed density setup, TB, injectors, fuel pump etc. I want to get the right upgrades to match with the heads and cam so that way I only have to get it tuned once ( I already have tweecer rt) now before you guys roast me for not searching, I've honestly spent what feels like a lifetime trying to gather any and all info surrounding how to get that cam to work well in our cars and how beefy of a fuel system/ injectors are needed. There's almost nothing out there for my setup:/. And then I also need to know if there is anyone around michigan that could help me get a base tune after everything is installed. ( I will learn how to tune, but a completely untuned computer is going to be a nightmare to learn on with this much done to my car, I'd love a good starting point that I can work with ) any help would be greatly appreciated in the direction to go to finish the build right. It's such a clusterf**k I don't even know where to start after I get the pushrods issue dealt with. And if it helps any, this will be more of a track car/ hitting the twisties. [/QUOTE]
