    Going to the dyno tomorrow

    I'm kinda dissapointed, but on the other hand I have factory exhaust manifolds which is costing me around 60 horses. The distributor I got from used on Ebay had it maxed at 15* so with my 10* initial I was sitting at 25* which is way too low. The shop didnt have any springs or anything so we...

    Going to the dyno tomorrow

    I'm low guessing so I dont get dissapointed, lol. It only needs to make like 350 at the crank to make 300 at the wheels so it shouldnt be that hard. I cant wait to see what the torque looks like. Remember, its a 5 speed car, not a C6.

    Going to the dyno tomorrow

    I'm really tired of this big block running like crap so its off to the dyno finally for tuning. This guy is stupid expensive, and thats what you get when its the only dyno in 50 miles. So I'll finally have some power numbers and hopefully itll be tuned to run well, get better mileage, no...

    The sweet sounds of success

    Well the thing is, the cops kept driving down my street a few minutes before and I got out of it after second because this old couple was sitting on their porch watching the whole thing, lol. I made a better, longer one yesterday but it wouldnt download off my camera. Dont worry, I'm still...

    The sweet sounds of success

    LOL, awesome thing happened today. I was driving around in the 85, running some errands when I saw this guy that works at one of the other Midas's. This guy hates me for no reason, and he talks smack about Fords all the time. He's one of those rat rod types with an almost mullet. Anyways, he...

    The sweet sounds of success

    Yeah, putting the big block in the car with a TKO-600 turned out to be a real parts headache since nobody does it, but its done and drives like a 5.0. I drove around about 30 minutes the other day in 90 degree weather and it was running at 210 but stable. The torque pull during shifting is...

    I dyed my hair, lol. Yeah, I hate how the camera doesnt pic up the sound. Maybe I'll try some farther away shots. It seems to sound better that way

    The sweet sounds of success

    The 85 sounds quiet cause my camera has this sound deadener when things get too loud. I have video right on the engine when I rev the carburetor with my hand, and you can barely hear it. Its funny, you can hear the car really well as you walk up to it, and then it dulls out as you get closer...

    Biggest, yet most practical street blower?

    The D-1 all the way. Its capable of 32 lbs of boost, sounds mean, and has a longer warranty than a Vortech. The D1-SC is self contained so install would be a breeze, and anyone who thinks a self contained D-1wouldnt make power is insane. I ran a D-1 on my 342 and at just 4900 rpms and 12 lbs...

    R-12 Freon

    Why not just convert over? Its cheaper. All you need is the R134 conversion kit which just installs shrader valves in the high and low side fittings. You dont need to replace anything else. How do I know this you ask, because I worked at a parts store that sells the kits, and I now work at...
