    How will Edelbrock Performer RPM heads affect my Compression Ratio?

    do you think your problem is because of the large valves or because of the heat dissapation in the aluminum? or just because your whole system is designed for highend power?

    have a problem!

    first things to check are vacuum and timing buuut you might have a bog caused by your carbeurator... lowering your floats, is what i'd do if you find that you have a good vacuum and your timing isnt way off

    Is longer better?

    long tubes make more power short tubes leave more clearance to work and more ground clearance hooker is a cool name witha good reputation i think you can get some pretty cheap headers from summit for like $80

    Redline for stock 289

    with that intake, you'r power will drop like a rock after 5500 rpms with that said, i wouldnt get a cam designed for more than 6k rpms and watch out because diffent cam makers give different grinds diffent rev limits

    Going to the track, any suggestions, tips?

    youd be suprised how much power you'd lose from a stock cam... but goodluck

    Running Ponies+Open Mountian Ranges Make for cool pictures!

    nice stang... imo, you should film your movies of the car "flyby's" at a lower speed going by the camera at 50-70 mph doesnt leave much time to see your car also, the wind hindered teh sound :( it would be sweet to see a speedo or tach but other than my nitpicking... coool :) i like...

    WHat do you guys think of this for 72' 351c?

    im just saying that id like to have a 12 second car instead of a 14 second car and the real question is, does he want to build his 73 for the present 14 seconds or the future 12 seconds? and if he wants the future, does he have the patience and money to see it through

    WHat do you guys think of this for 72' 351c?

    WHat do you guys think of this for 72' 351c?

    i would get the bigger cam i have the smaller cam (edelbrock performer) and while it moves my 66 mustang (289) pretty good (probably around mid 14's in the quarter) your car weighs 1k lbs more than mine does and also, mid 14's is not all that great nowadays... a new honda will run that...

    surge in carb

    my guess that your timing is waaaay off or your carb when i had surge problems it was my carb... try raising your float level and see if that helps
