    Fuel Pressure Regulators???? how to choose

    Hmm..wonder why that is...here's another one..bought a BBK..it started leaking where the large tube is pressed in...bought Aeromotive b/c they're supposed to be great quality. I was happy for a while, looked good and the lower part was machined from one piece so I knew I wouldn't have the...

    I have not been, but I know quite a few who have...the raceway in G-ville is supposed to be top notch, they host some big events there..

    balancer question

    there are so many things that could casue vibration, I wouldn't replace the balancer unless it looks bad. The stock balancers can separate where the center rubber isolator is..I've attached a pic of mine from when it went bad for your reference...

    Granatelli Coil overs and 03 Cober control arms..

    Well, before I do the 347 build in Jan, I wanted to make sure I got the shimmy out of my front suspension. I know the popular thing now is tubular A arms but mine is a street car and I'd heard good things about the improvements in steering granted by the FMS arms, good price too. I decided to...

    Removable Cats?

    Under the FL statues, a replacement headers must be of "equivalent function and design". Equivalent means "similar or identical," so unless there's case law that suggest different, I don't think it would be a problem with LT's here...

    Twin Turbo Build Progress -pics-

    my brain's hurting a little trying to figure out how they don't have issues with the induction tubes running under the rear axle...

    widest tire for a 17 x 10.5

    I run 315's on mine..had fender flares and they rubbed the tires when I went around corners, took them off and haven't really had a problem since. The tricky thing really is finding the tire you want in that size. I'll probably drop down to 295's or 275s next time. The wide is cool in theory...

    urp catted X

    I realize everyone has a different expirience but the two times I have gone with BBK, I was dissapointed:notnice: ...first, I found that the shorty headers had a pretty shallow flange and wasn't really universal with non-BBK midpipes (had a leak)..second was the FPR I bought. It leaked where...

    Removable Cats?

    Interesting..that is what I'm looking for, I guess I'd have to try and fit a pre-94 mid-pipe since they don't make a long tube header for 94-95

    Removable Cats?

    Does anyone know if there is a company that makes an X or H pipe for LT headers that has a cats swap out pipe. I know that there are no inspections any longer, but I'd like to keep it legal and don't want the extra noise...

    How can you make a basically stock block handle more than the 450HP mark?

    BlueOvalStangGT - what do you base that on? I will be building my 347 in a month and am debating whether or not to use a girdle.

    Is there any point to the breather on the left valve cover?

    Cool, thanks for the answers, its given me something to think about. I wasn't trying to be smart, I was really unsure of how it happend...I think I'll just repaint the stock covers so I'll have something that works.

    Is there any point to the breather on the left valve cover?

    really? How does the air get from the crankcase to the combustion chambers? Also, what about just running covers with no venting?

    Is there any point to the breather on the left valve cover?

    I've run w/ just a breather cap on it in the past, I'm just wondering why it's there in the first place...there aren't many valve covers out there that fit our cars with the filler tube and breather tube...was going to replace mine..

    Exhaust is finally here (Pics)

    Sweet pics! The only concern I have about the 3" collectors is that the rest of my exhaust is 2.5" Can the 3" collectors mate to a 2.5" or would I have to use reducers somewhere?

    Exhaust is finally here (Pics)

    Holy Cr@p!!! That looks awesome Vibe! :hail2: I picked a good time to get back on the board! I'm building my 347 in a month. I was planning on sticking with shorties but I almost shot when I saw your pics..do you know if they have a ceramic coat in 1 3/4/2.5" collectors? or just 3"?

    Anyone with a 347 using the stock radiator???

    Interesting responses, I wouln't think of using my current rad, I can get a stock replacement for under $100. I though maybe it might be worth a try...

    Anyone with a 347 using the stock radiator???

    Yeah, I figured, but I'm finding "a little insurance" her and a little there is really adding up...I've been ogling that Fluidyne and that new Canton Aluminim overflow tank..

    Anyone with a 347 using the stock radiator???

    My build starts in a week or two and I'm wondering if I'd have overheating problems with a (new) stock radiator. Fluidyne is sweet but expensive. Anyone doing this or know someone doing it? This will be a street driven 347 with about 9.4:1 compression and a mild cam....

    Will Fox Longtubes Fit a 94-95?

    what about ground clearance issues? I've heard different opinions with Fox bodies, but what about a SN95 lowered 1 1/2"???
