I seem to have missed this thread somehow. I have some AEM video's linked on this site somewhere from youtube that help with a lot of tuning, but yes, an AEM dedicated thread (like here) would be awesome.

Its kinda the same idea is venting the valve cover to air... just a method that allows expansion of fluids in the tranny without causing a pressure build up. 8)

Bigger does not mean better. I have yet to run my GT3582R but I have done the turbo math to find out that it is a little too large. With performance, you want balance. You build something too large in one area, and something else will break. There is a link in my signature you need to watch. Also, y...

AEM series two with all AEM Gauges. Any will work as long as it works. Besides, if you have a bad tune, or something goes wrong, you won't be always able to save it even if you do see it. It depends on when and what goes wrong. Temperature, heat, things like that often take longer then lets say a cr...

A thing to keep in mind is to look at what race cars do. Often after a race they will take apart and inspect an engine, now granted, you don't need to go that far, but if you are asking 300+% out of an engine, you should do what they do, and at minimum torque and replace oil more often inspecting th...

don't throw it out, just re-bore and hone with larger pistons and new rings. Rods should maybe be upgraded as well. Getting a new engine is the cheap way until it does the same thing. Build it! or you could try the really cheap alternative and just replace the rings. You might get lucky and have it ...

Make sure you read up on those BC Cams. If I did it again, I'd buy Kelford. Drop in, no worries. (granted you can do this with BC stage 2, but you really should degree them to get the most from them, where you want them)

Is your timing 180 out? Have you set your car to top dead center, take the dizzy off and look to see where the dizzy is compared to the direction of the no 1 cam lobes?

Is there any possibility you have the cams in backwards?
