    Anyone Extrude Hone or Flow Bench Speed Pro Heads?

    I used to have a set of extrude honed twisted wedges. The flow was notably better than they were stock. I lost the numbers though. In theory (at least for the time) the extrude honing cleaned up and straightened out the ports without making them too big and killing velocity. I'm not sure i...

    Suspension Harsh Ride

    If you read through the faq section of MMs website, they explain why coil overs improve the ride and how the location of the coil over spring is superior. There are some other bonus's, less weight, easily adjust ride height and it makes front end work easier (and safer) without the standard coil...

    Fuel ebay fuel pumps

    My point wasn't that you can't run that pump, it was that it doesn't make sense to on a stock fuel system. 42s and a gss340 have been run successfully for a lifetime up to 500rwhp and if you go much further you need the entire fuel system, not just the pump. To be clear the Gss340 is the high...

    Fuel ebay fuel pumps

    I personally don't see the point in a pump that size on a stock hanger. Unless you have a dart block and a complete fuel system, i don't see a point in a true 340lph pump. And you if you do have a dart block and a fuel system you wouldn't be using the stock lines and hanger. You would be using...

    Suspension Harsh Ride

    Just call maximum motorsports and ask them. They will sell you what you need. I ran a red set of H&R springs, which probably means I had the "race" set, judging by pictures on their website. Now I use torque arm specific H&R springs. For the front I use 275lb springs on MM bilstein coil...

    Fuel ebay fuel pumps

    A walbro Gss340 (high pressure 255lph pump) is only a few more dollars and will support pretty much anything that can be run on a stock fuel system which maxes out just over 500rwhp. Which i'll assume is what you are doing since these pumps are made to go in the stock hanger.

    Suspension Harsh Ride

    Along with the poly bushings in the rear, I'd switch the front to coil overs and the rear to H&R springs. I couldn't believe how soft the H&R springs felt in the back compared eibach springs. I think Superb handling is a bit of an overstatement, without at least a panhard bar, you are just...

    Hit something exiting

    I probably would not get under the cat or car while it's stopping, sounds dangerous. Look up videos for diagnosing tie rods and ball joints. It's not hard. Jack up as close to ball joint with tire on, move wheel aggressively 3 and 9 o'clock, then 12 and 6. After that use a crow bar as a lever...

    Engine Evap and charcoal cannister leak

    I'm not against emissions, not to mention california has some places with really terrible air quality, so I get it. But what they should do is stop testing 95 and older non obdII cars that require extensive testing. NJ stopped a long time ago, it doesn't make sense to test them. It costs too...

    Progress Thread Nicholase "lights out" build-

    Looks like a pretty elegant solution, i was hoping you would do something easier that I copy it quick and simple, lol. Seems maybe you are costing me a lot of work. You buy the stock head unit for $40 complete on ebay? I was eying it up because i need the cubby and i figured i'd somehow try and...

    Hit something exiting

    If you are suggesting that you are running two completely different tires on each side of the car, i wouldn't go any further until that is remedied. Even with a perfect alignment slight variations in the tire will cause a pull. That's why you put new tires on, then get an alignment and why...

    Progress Thread Nicholase "lights out" build-

    I have it up in the top corner by the visor, which is probably where you are talking about. So it really doesn't get much closer to where i'm speaking from. One thing that pisses me off with mine is that I often keep the battery on my car shut off with a switch by the license plate, the head...

    Progress Thread Nicholase "lights out" build-

    How is it to operate? I find that that if you don't use the car often, I have to use a series of educated guesses to figure out how to work it. The red and green was enough for me in the Bremen model, it was close enough to the dash. I find that the biggest bonus was how good the phone calls...

    I like that stereo, hadn't seen that one before, when I bought the sqr bremen 46 it would have been tough to choose between the two. Appears blaupunkt has found a market for $500 retro stereos. While costly, I think the extra expense is worth it.

    Engine Cleaning Intake valves with lower intake off

    I can't see any reason to actually do this. If you really want them cleaned, take the heads off and have them valve jobbed.

    Engine Catch Can or not?

    As aero suggested, make sure the entire vacuum system is in good shape. Doesn't sound like you daily drive it, personally i wouldn't worry about it too much. Even with a catch can some oil is going to get in there. Not to mention in general it wasn't a big problem like it is on newer cars.

    Preparation for Holley Terminator X install – Foxbody 306 (electrical fan, alternator, MSD Ignition, etc)

    A deal is only a deal if it's the right parts for you. Using a $1500 standalone negates all of the saving and then some. Then you may still pull your hair out installing it all and getting it to run right on top of the fact that is still too much intake. This would have been as simple as a mass...

    Preparation for Holley Terminator X install – Foxbody 306 (electrical fan, alternator, MSD Ignition, etc)

    While i would run 24's and the correct meter. 19's have been used successfully on better combinations than that. My guess is that's like 280rwhp, 19's will goto about 300rwhp and have been used in the past on the TFS kit. Not optimal, but this is a speed density situation.

    Preparation for Holley Terminator X install – Foxbody 306 (electrical fan, alternator, MSD Ignition, etc)

    That combination is nothing out of the ordinary. Most likely there is something mechanically wrong with the car. IMO, your solution to fix it is extreme and is going to leave you open to a whole slew of different issues compounding the problem. How exactly are you running 24lb injectors without...
