aggressive cam? gauges?
Where would be a place to look for a more aggressive cam?
And
Is there anything I can do about my twitchy gauges? The boost, oil pressure, and Temp.
the car is a 94 Bonneville SSEi

This is my first post, LUV this site guys!
In response to twithcy gauges, my same 3 gauges have been going nuts for about 2 years. I finally took it to the dealer to get it fixed. They had to replace the cluster in the dash, exactly what chad was talking about. If i would have came here sooner, i could have probably saved 369.00 (part and install) by cleaning the connectors!

I think next time I might get a little more scientific about it and maybe wipe a thin film of Vaseline on the pins, but I'm talking a _really_ thin film, by rubbing it into my fingers first, then wiping my fingertips on the pins, and even then I don't think I'd go to the trouble unless it was a pin connection with a history of going bad. (e.g. I had some edge connectors in an old Bonneville factory stereo/CB-radio in a '78 Bonne that would go bad about every 18 months or so...)

Frankly, I didn't even _clean_ them; I just took it apart...
When the dealer told me the whole dash had to come off, all bets were off with me doing the work. I didnt want to hose anything up on the inside. If it goes bad again, i will definitely try cleaning the contacts first now that the ext warranty is over. (Which, btw, didnt cover a penny of this)
Thanks for the info...
