A law degree carries alot of weight in any business, financial or otherwise.
You would be a great asset, as you would be able to cover their "asses"-
from all sides.
You will do great things, just start with the car first, lol!

Best of luck to you,
-John

Sorry brent....hopefully you can get the car straightened out to some extent before taking a step as far as career choice.

Here's a thought for the cam timing.

Instead of using adjustable cam gears, how about an offset key in the crank gear to advance both cams an equal amount?

Measure the dimensions of the stock key, surely someone is making offset keys for an engine that will be usable in a V6.

A stupid non-thread/car realted question: what was your origional career goal? I think somewhere I missed that...

[DustyR/T]

offset crank keys are more difficult than what I was thinking of.

Federal Law enforcement was something I really wanted to do....but the "field agent" stuff. I dont have a specialized degree for the deskjobs they offer and i didnt really want the deskjob.
With a Law degree I could probably very easily go the deskjob route.


My T U 3" exhaust and some clamps came in the mail today. To busy to try to fit it till maybe friday but I will try to remember to take some pictures of it because there are some strange things about it. My spirit has an "original" JRB 3" exhaust and there are some quality differences in the mandrel bends.

I was debating on changing my Facebook status to "Josh is....hoping brent gets his car straightened out so chaos can set in"

[Ondonti]

i think the last facebook status I had was "brent is suffering vehicular anxiety"

[DustyR/T]

you know that's not the mindset to be in Brent if you are to get something accomplished.

Ah...that's cool. My GF's dad was a U.S. Marshall.

I got accepted to Embry-Riddle in Daytona...I'm going to start in the fall on my Aerospace Engineering degree! I'm STOKED!! I've been working toward this for almost 10 years now...now it's time to light the fuse!

[Shadow24V]

you lucky SOB, i almost went there for the flying degree lol


also brent, where did you get your AFPR and what kind? ebay? etc?
i got an ebay one im going to stick on my 24v to help with tuning, so... thanks

BEGI (cartech) regulator. It is a combined RRR and base regulator.

I do need to find a non RRR regulator as I want to use the RRR combo in my daily driver eventually.
Stick the AFPR on when I try to figure the megasquirt out.

I can see it now. Agent Brent Seman running field opps at CTU.

DAMMIT!!!! I only hit 3psi.

Mr. President, I will find these men but as a personal favor I need a bigger turbo.

Chloe! Send the VE tables for a 93 6G72 to my phone and reposition the satellite to give me a live feed on that ricer!

If you need a non-rising-rate regulator, just use your rising-rate regulator but leave the vacuum line disconnected.

Not for nothing. But, would that not cause problems as well? The stock calibration is set to be used on a 1:1 ratio fuel regulator. If the regulator doesn't see vacuum or pressure from any source, then the fuel pressure will not be constant with the manifold pressure. The ratio will go all askew as the manifold pressure changes. Meaning the higher the vacuum (idle and cruising conditions) the richer it will be. Because the pcm thinks that there is less fuel pressure than there actually is. Then, if this is the case, as the O2 sensor is trying to adapt the mixture for the lack of fuel pressure control, the fuel adapt factors will go completely crazy trying to figure out just how much fuel the PCM needs to remove in order to keep it within "clean burning" specs.
