The Unofficial "Ask a Stupid Question" Thread

I heard someone wbw at the old place, that the most heat was at full assist, but I don't see how that's true.
 
I’m a noob when it comes to tuning, so don’t roast me here.

After my tune was modified for the manual trans, I feel like my cams ain’t cammin’ no more, is it possible that would be affected by that? I also noticed, when my cooling fan comes on the car almost wants to stall out.

Yes it’s possible, ignition timing, AFR, and idle speed can be tweaked to accentuate or tame lopey cams to some degree.
 
When you run into that kind of stuff, you want to do a datalog of what it's actually doing; I often find it's doing some different stuff than I intended.
Do a datalog, and send it to the tuner, and ask,"is this what you wanted it to do?" That is the way I do it, and Don usually wants datalogs to fine tune.
Log timing,fuel,ect,iat,and the open/closed loop flag. Take it for a long drive. You'll start out in open loop, then it will switch. I've had tunes work better in one or the other, but goes to shit when it changes.

Pretty much mine, it will not idle for shit the second it switches to closed loop
 
Does anyone else here tilt the steering wheel up when getting out of their MN12?

While I can get out of my car no problem with the steering wheel on my "driving" position, I have a hard time getting in my car if I don't move the steering wheel up before getting out.

Does anyone else have this or similar problem? If so, do you just deal with it, move the steering wheel, or something else all together?
 
I always tilt all my wheels full up when I park.
I like it all the way down when driving.
 
I never move my wheel unless I wedge myself under the dash for something, I think second or third notch from bottom is where I generally keep mine set for driving
 
I found an SC gauge cluster on FB for sale, I’m thinking of buying it and swapping the boost gauge over to my cluster. That should swap no problem, right?
I’d like to eliminate a gauge in the A pillar pod.

I don’t love the 89-90 grey bezel but yeah it’ll drop right in. You won’t really notice it but the 89-93 bezels are shallower at the bottom than the 94-96 ones too, though they physically interchange

I would just swap the boost gauge, not the whole cluster, I also think the boost is one with the fuel.
 
Fellow SVO supercharger guys! Anyone have a part number for this idler pulley? It’s squealing and driving me insane!

It’s the one that sits under the alternator, I’d like to keep it a steel pulley if possible.
