inspecting a recently purchased ride

sleepy93 · 11-09-2009, 12:32 AM

I recently purchased a 93 SSP notchback with a 302, s-trim supercharger, fuel pump, flexlite fan, headers, stock intake, gt-40 iron heads, straight pipes leading to a par of magnaflow exhausts.

My question(s) is what are a few good things to do/inspect to confirm my engine is good to go. I don't know how much boost I have, what can I do to find out how much boost I have? I'm not a master tech, but I'm fairly good at do it yourself basics.

youll need a boost pressure guage. all you gotta do is splice it into one of your vaccume lines.

if you cant get any good info from the previous owner, you may want to consider hooking your car up to the dyno just for a test run to make sure the air fuel ratio is good (you have no idea what tune he has on the car, so it wouldnt be a bad idea to have it checked). also pop your hood and see what lb injectors are in it now.
