    Would you run 35 profile tires?

    245-35-20 or 255-35-19 or 245-40-19 or 245-45-18 I think I like the 245-40-19

    Would you run 35 profile tires?

    That's what I was thinking but many luxury performance cars are running these so i was thinking of following the pack. My Jag rides so nice I don't want to screw it up to much. Thanks

    Should I run 35 profile tires?

    I thought they would ride much stiffer due to the sidewall hight.

    Should I run 35 profile tires?

    I'm looking for a little help here since I have not run anything lower than 50 series on my Stang. I have a Jaguar I am upgrading to 18,19,or20's. The 18's will fit 45 series but the 19 and 20's need a 255-35 to fit. How do these tires ride on rough roads? I see alot of people running these low...

    I'm going to do a head on block piston to valve clearance check when I get the tools I ordered form Jegs. If that's not it, then I could have the piston hitting the head due to multiple deck surfacing.

    This is what I'm getting from Comp Cams catalog for my cam: part# 986 Seat [email protected] open [email protected] I'm at seat 170 installed, but I don't have at the actual hight. I will have to pull a spring to check the open pressure.

    I'm wondering if the springs are too strong. I bought a on head measuring tool from Jeggs. The opening pressure I got was about 165-170. That seems alot to me for a street vehicle that revs to 5600.

    Thanks for all the replys. This is the second engine doing the same noise. Upon teardown of the first one, I looked for evidence of valve to piston and rod to block clearance issues. Nothing found. This time I had one built by M&R engines. They have been helpful in trying to identify this...

    I have been having a little problem with two new 331 short blocks now. I built the first one and thought I had a loose piston. So I bought this one. They both have a knock at idle and low rpm. This time I replaced everything except the heads, springs and rockers. Here's a sound clip, hopefuly...

    67 Stang SSM bars or CalTracs??

    Strip/Street use. 70% street. Leaf spring car. I can't decide which ones to get. I know Caltracs are probably the best but I heard they could be a little noisy for street use and more difficult to put on. Any input on SSM bars or CalTracs??

    Street with strip maybe 3 times a year. I have a early Lock-rite now and the backlash sucks on the mountain roads. 8"
