Yeah, I hate TM. Sometime soon it will be gone hopefully, that is after I get a Transgo.

I dont know why, but my truck feels like it runs better when I wash and clean it and vacumm it. Maybe I spend to much time with it.

I feel the same thing. I always us 93 ammoco. Best stuff I have found. I used to have a souped up 82 with a 350 and big cam with high compression. Only gas that would not make it detonate was ammoco 93. Its little more expensive but its good gas.
I cant figure out why mine does the same thing.

I was going to mention. I put on some springs clamps about a month and a half ago. When I would floor it of a 30 roll, the truck would immediatly send glue your *** to the sea (spring clamps helped in the luanch region). It had some mean pull. After about a week I noticed that when I would do the same thing, It just does not want to glue you to the seat anymore of the 30 roll. I have to manually downsift for it to do that. So I am thinking that TQ managment adjusted or something.

my truck does that too. i have an 88 silverado tbi 350, sometimes when i go to mash on it, it acts like the fuel pump cant supply enough pressure and kinda hesitates. what do i do?
i had a new fuel pump put in about 8 months ago, and a holley oem throttle body about 6 months. some days it runs like a bat out of hell, and other days i think my john deere could pull on it

help!
