      alright my feller GTO'ers

      as you know my dual Interceptors should be here tomorrow.....FINALLLY!!!

      I took out my Vararam intake when I took it into the shop, it was still throwing lean codes so they were saying the intake gasket was bad-it was the VR but has since gone away after putting the stock intake back on it

      plan: watch timing retard and IAT's AFTER putting the VR back on to see what is going on with this intake

      Question: will doing the IAT breakout mod and Omega thermistor mod fix the lean issues with this intake?? I have a feeling it may HELP the situation but it will still run lean. I've read since the MAF is directly behind the radiator it gets heat soaked even worse and with the IAT sensor being integrated into the MAF I was hoping doing the breakout and Omega mod would help everything....


      What do you guys think-opinions??

        Relocate the IAT sensor. I didn't read the whole thread, but is your GTO tuned?

          ^I never reinstalled the Vararam after I took it out. The car was tuned for 1 7/8 headers with a Volant intake when I bought it but neither of those items were on the car. So WITH that tune from a respectable local guy I have stock exhaust with muffler delete and back to the factory air box with a K&N panel air filter.

          I do plan on relocating the IAT and fitting it with an Omega thermistor for more accurate and faster readings. All in all I don't think either will actually solve the issues with the Vararam. I know they mention on their website no tuning is required BUT virtually everyone with a VR requires tuning because the air is a straight shot to the intake mani it messes with the turbulence and what not

            If it was my car, I would be looking for a dyno day somewhere so I could get an AFR reading on it. I'd rather be running rich, but in the same time, looking for possible vacuum leaks so see if un-metered air is getting in there to cause lean codes.

              I've gone over the system a few times with the VR installed and no leaks. Once the stock airbox with the panel KN was put back in the codes went away and haven't had a single one since. My interceptors will read the AFR but its obviously not as accurate as a wideband. I may get the interceptors setup to read all the necessary parameters then reinstall the VR and see what is going on

                Somethings odd with the GTO. This is the second time. It happened when I drove 1.5 hours to PA last week, and again after the two hour trip out here. When I get to lights and stuff and when Im rolling slightly at low speeds or give it gas at low speeds the GTO makes all sorts of metal banging noises like im going over a traintrack....but its smooth. Coming from underneith. Either tranny, diff, or suspension or something. Popped itself out of second onetime when doing it and was worse when i took a slow right turn. Right after I get off the highway.

                Parked for an hour now, took it for a drive, absolutely NOTHING now.... weird..

                    Havent changed anything but oil since i got it.

                    I'm 50,000+ now. So tranny flush, rear dif fluid, and such wouldnt be a bad idea either way. I wanna drain the clutch fluid too.

                    I keep popping out of 2nd and 1st a lot more often that i used to too. Wouldnt doubt if my clutch is starting to slip as well. =(

                    Headers are looking less and less likely this summer......... If i have to do clutch i'm doing LS7 + LS7 Flywheel.

                      ^that's the way to go. I just pull out the nasty clutch fluid with a syringe every month or so then replace it. Eventually I'll get a remote bleeder to change everything out. I'm just waiting for my Torco gear oil then I'm doing the tranny and rear end so I know what's in there! Hopefully the shifting improves a bit also!
