    Which rockers with AFR 165's?

    I was at Maple Grove this weekend and I was looking at Harland Sharpe rockers and they told me that the AFR head was not a true inline head and that I needed rockers that were $290 instead of $225. He said that the positioning is off and I need the more victor jr, ones. Is this true or can i...

    BBK Longtubes: ceramic vs. chrome

    I am going to Maple Grove tonight and there should be some vendors there and I want to buy some long tube headers. I was curious if the ceramic coated ones are worth the extra money over the chrome ones. FWIW: the car is always garaged and not driven in the rain so rust is hindered there...

    R 134 A conversion

    I bought the conversion kit and did it in my 91. The nipple that I put the conversion coolant in was in the front. I haven't had a problem with the system leaking and it still works after sitting the winter. I think I paid ~$40 for the kit and it worked well.

    Can I re-use stock roller lifters?

    See I was getting scared becuase I was told that they were $400. At that point I was wondering what could be so great about those, but for another $100 or so i think i will upgrade. Any advantages over the stock ones or FMS ones by buying the crane or comp?

    Can I re-use stock roller lifters?

    Theres a little over 90k on the motor. If I upgrade can i get away with FMS replacements or should I spring for the comp or crane ones? How much more are the comp or crane lifters than the FMS ones?

    Pushrod length for AFR 165s on stock short block?

    I am using the AFR 165 heads on my stock 92 shortblock. Would the pushrod be 6.272" which is stock or another size. I remember reading 6.3" but I am unsure. Also they will be used with FMS 1.6 RR if that has anything to do with it. P.S. The heads are stock 58cc heads. Thanks Dan

    Can I re-use stock roller lifters?

    I am in the middle of buying more parts to complete my HCI install. I was curious if I needed to buy new lifters? If so would the stock replacements or the more expensive ones be better. I was told by a head porter that the lifter would collapse with the spring pressure. The springs are...

    How important is lobe separation in camshaft selection?

    So a 112* will make more power over a wider band and should idle fine b/c the overlap isn't that big? Correct me if I am wrong anywhere.

    Anyone run a Comp Cams XE270HR?

    Those are some nice numbers for powerheads. Did you experience any idle or stalling issues?

    Anyone run a Comp Cams XE270HR?

    How hard was it to chase down the idle and make the car not surge and stall?

    How important is lobe separation in camshaft selection?

    So for the most power with a good idle a 112* would be the best?

    Anyone run a Comp Cams XE270HR?

    I was looking into this cam and was was wondering if anyone had experience with it. I am concerned with idle characteristics and of course power. Any info or suggestions besides a custom cam would be appreciated. Specs: 218/224 @.050 512/512 114 or 112 * lobe separation Dan

    Compression on stock short block?

    What would the compression on a stock shortblock with AFR 165 58cc aluminum heads be? Stock is 9:1 with a 62.5 cc iron stock head (not 100% sure). I understand that there are different tolerances that must be measured like how the piston sits in the hole, but an educated guess or an exact one...

    How important is lobe separation in camshaft selection?

    I am in the process of a HCI build-up. I already have AFR 165's (cleaned up on exhaust), ported and gasket matched cobra intake, BBK longtubes (1-5/8), Dr. Gas 2-1/2" X-pipe. I plan on running 24# injectors with a C&L 76 mm mass air. My question is on camshaft selection. I am looking at...

    Which heads Trick flows or AFR's

    I love how you sugar coat it what you say. "I was busting your balls as I always do...", "When I see retarded comments..." . So then I guess an opinion that isn't trickflow praising is retarded to the trickflow guys out there. I think your getting a little crazy about the AFR vs. trickflow...
