Is your car surging and doing what it was before? I guess I'm lost here.

I have a quart Mason jar of Peach moonshine in the fridge. My brother in law also sent me back some homemade from Spain. (I declared it through Customs and glad it didn't break)

It could also be this.



PQ usually adds this home brew to a full tank as a drying agent. Lately he has been with GTA. I think they may have FILLED the wrong tank. There is a 30 gallon custom built tank hidden under the rear seat in the tradition of early stock car entrepreneurs. I think they should syphon the gas out of the moonshine tank and the moonshine out of the gas tank


All of the above.

My Lord... I shudder to think what moonshine would do to me.... But I wouldn't put that past PQ.

he told me the other day he got a 200 shot... I thought he was talking NoS... LOL Now I knew he meant proof....

Yup. I've been through that system twice. Headers bolts are the first thing I went for. Then looked for evidence of a leak.

I'm going to swap me and Chris's MAF sensor. Haven't done that THIS time.

Catch can is currently not even hooked up so that's not it.

My headers scrape a lot with the car so low. Maybe I have a leak under? I'll check for that this weekend.

I don't think it's an air leak. It doesn't always do the surging thing. The idle is a bit rough all the time though. At least I think it's rough. I'll get you guys opinions next week. Hell, you guys might get in and tell me I'm freaking crazy and tell me to go buy a Prius. LOL

PQ, coming from a mechanic, you have fought with this long enough, it is the thing you are sure it is not. Or the little problem you know you have, don't think it would have anything to do with your problem, and are not concerned about it, trust me----been there, done it!!!!!!
