yeah, shit like that happens when the #6 cylinder is last in the coolant flow path and last on the fuel rail.

too bad you can't redesign to have fluid/coolant come in from each side, and drain out the center front/back...

Just keep the Alero and get the Chevelle. That's what I'm doing in probably less than a month, but it's not a Chevelle I'm getting...

yeah, then it would be cylinder 2 and 5 that were overheating. You wouldn't get away from it either way, but good idea in concept

problem is ONE of them is going to be in the 10's....and there's only money for either or, but not both
Just testing the waters, but what do you guys think the Alero would go for the way I built it (54k miles) and everything in proper order?

somehow I knew your integrity wasn't going to factor into this equation...hahahahaha.
Just remember the old addage....."Speed cost money" If you want $5 worth of fast, I can send you a bolt off of this wastegate or blow-off valve.

you could always modify the fuel lines and the rail to accept constant equal flow... That's what I'll be doing on my new car an 02 wrx once I get my new compressor wheel and housing on my turbo, mod the injectors for 800cc and switch to e85
Seriously though... I would do that just in case you are running a bit lean on that cylinder, also have you checked what the cars fuel rails are flow rated at?

If I continue, the fuel rails will both get feed at once, and I already have a dual inlet/single outlet FPR.

I'm still up in the air about it. But I still haven't had any (serious) replies on what people think it's worth.

if you think about it its not a bad idea to run it one last time. that money from the first n-body in the 12's would only help you get your chevelle going. i know its not a lot, but its somthing. after all that hard work you put into it, you only get to see it run a broken down 14.5 sec quarter when you know it will run tons faster. plus all us alero guys can brag about and alero being the first n-body in the 12's.
