    Switching to EFI!!!

    i just couldn't draw a bead on my carb'ed blow-thru setup, so i'm bitting the bullet (and wallet) and switching to efi. i'm going with the accel thruster system, which is just a slightly scaled down gen7. i still need to buy the 120#/hr injectors also. it will be nice to add fuel with just a...

    Finally had some time to play with my turbo car

    13psi @ 2500 is a tall order. i couldn't hope to get that. i couldn't sell a furnace to an eskimo. :(

    Finally had some time to play with my turbo car

    dustin, if you're running a msd 6al, you can just use a radioshack potentiometer instead of a chip. then you can dial in any rpm you want. also, i think the 'flashing the converter' thinking doesn't apply to turbo cars. having more boost is more important than flashing the converter. you'll...

    what type of distributor for blow thru turbo setup

    i've used a vac adv on mine with no problems, although i don't recommend it (strictly for performance reasons). in 10secondgoal's situation, for example, as soon as he sees boost, he only has 18deg timing. i lock mine out at 35deg and pull timing with my mallory box. when i just start to see...

    Ported 351W heads vs. Aftermarket

    absolutely not- esp the vic jrs. with labor, new valves, springs, ect, you'll have more in those heads than an aftermarket one. throttle response will not be a problem with a 408. you'll be lucky to get 450fwhp out of the stock ported ones.

    How do I hook up 600hp?

    Will timing effect engine temp?

    check your plugs to see if you're running lean.

    S&W or Jegster roll bar?

    i have a s&w in my car. it came with floor plates. the main loop isn't narrow, and fits in the car nice (matter of fact, i had to 'draw it in' a few inches). note: you're going to need to cut and fit. it not a 'bolt-in' affair.

    th 400

    a c4 is near the edge with 800hp. a c6 is heavier, has more parasitic drag, and is more expensive to build than a th400.

    Took It To The Track

    you just need some time behind the wheel and work on your 60ft. get them under 2.0 and you'll be sitting comfortably in the mid 14's.

    odds are it was just the clutch slipping.
