Why do alot of people around here think that the 7AFE is weak and can't handle boost? I just want to know your view points on this? Do you think its cause it's and N/A engine? Is it because it comes from the factory with only 110 hp? is it beacuae you know someone that has boosted the engine and it has blown up? or any one of the many other reasons you might have?
I just really want to know what all you guys think, that say the 7AFE is weak and people shouldn't spen anymoney on it other then a intake or exhaust system.. -------------------- |

well i was pushin oil out of the PCV system, according to the DSM guys, i have bad piston rings/ or a cracked/ warpped piston!!! and i was driving it many miles like that not knowing... i got the thing in my driveway now, im gona lift it and work on it slowing.. winter is here and working outside in the cold sucks... but i will cause im stupid like that... i plan on lifted it and going in through the oil pan/valley pan.. to see it the crank is damaged.. ill pull the head afterwards and than i can check for block damage... if i can rebuild it cheaply with some 4a pistons i will, that is unless i get a buyer for my kit. than ill just pull what im selling and say good bye to the 7a. if i get a full time job this spring instead of school i might just go 3sgte and keep the 7a kit for a future 7a driven vechicle.. so ya, i have plenty of options with this but money/ school bills, and other things are coming up so quick i gotta sell or quit school this semister to do a 9-5 till the fall... |
