    Holley 650 DP. What Jets???

    Agreed. I also agree, and don't think I lead anyone to believe, that the wideband isn't the only tool used for tuning. There are plugs to read, exhaust temps to measure.... but it is a great tool nonetheless.

    5000 to spend need help

    That's not a bad price, but you did all the work yourself too :D That is the only way to do it IMO. If he has to pay for shop labor... that's gonna eat right thru 5K$ and not leave enough for anything more than the stroker kit. If that's the most you can come up w/then why not rebuild the...

    Holley 650 DP. What Jets???

    The LM-1 includes a digital display & allows for internal data logging while the LC-1 you need a laptop. Here you go: http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/MTS_grid.php

    aftermarket engine block questions

    Before I bought my block I checked around for a Mex block, but no go for me. If he can get one for 330$ + shipping :nice: that is a GREAT deal; best bang for the buck IMO.

    Holley 650 DP. What Jets???

    I agree. That is better advice than I gave; I totally forgot about the LC-1 :nonono: . Mike, if you are mechanically inclined, as I assume you are, then the LC-1 would serve your needs better as you can tune to various weather conditions and use it whenever you have the need. The dyno tune...

    aftermarket engine block questions

    The Mexican block will fit his needs I agree, but to compare them to a Dart block?!?!?! <--- which was my point. I've seen stock 302 blocks run in the (high) 9's, but that doesn't mean they'll last long does it? How readibly available are they (Mexican blocks)? Duke, there are plenty of...

    Gunner: What current heads/cam/intake/carb are you running? It's REALLY hard to complete a motor rebuild w/in your $$ confines if you don't do 95% of the work. Even then, a few 'key' parts are a must to keep w/in budget. If you have stock HCI (Heads/Cam/Intake) then I'd rebuild the 351...

    Holley 650 DP. What Jets???

    I agree w/the 'if it ain't broke...' saying. BUT, if you have to toy w/it then call Keith at AZ Dyno Chip ( azdynochip.com ). He is one of the best in our state & would trust him; he's dyno'd & helped tune a couple of my previous cars.

    Please help on compressor decision

    Make sure the wire you snake to the garage is of the correct thickness (gauge). Other than that you'll be OK.

    Please help on compressor decision

    You could use the same plug as the one the dryer uses. You will need to upgrade the circuit breaker tho, unless you plan on running one and not the other and never at the same time. I'd still check to ensure the dryer uses a 15A CB and not much more.

    I'd say the 3/8" tube will be perfect for your combo.

    Carb Plumbing help

    One question; how are you going to control pressure? Here's what I recmnd: from the tank to the filter, to the pump, then to the front of the mustang. From there, go to a pressure regulator, dual lines to the carb and one line back to the tank; all from the FPR. Keep the bends of the...

    Please help on compressor decision

    It depends on how much rated Amps you plan on using. I have one outlet mainly for my welder that is 5A more than the welder and one for just the compressor that is the same rating above the compressor rating. The other 2 outlets I use for powered hand tools is rated for 20A. Make sure you...

    Please help on compressor decision

    I recmnd the one from Lowes. For your operation larger is better :D I have a sears 25 gal compressor and it is OK for 'normal' operation. Once I started body work on my car the 25 gal caused me to stop operation so the compressor could catch up more often than I wanted. I borrowed a...

    Trick Flow vs Canfield Heads

    Well isn't that the whole point of running a custom? :D I'll never run an off the shelf cam again... at least in my race cars.

    Trick Flow vs Canfield Heads

    How aggressive is that cam? What's the duration @ .006? Why not go w/a custom grind to get the most out of the combo and still have nice street manners? IMO, both those heads are more than you need according to how you're gonna use the car. I'd think either one out of the box would be more...

    instrument lights - what voltage do they run at?

    The lights run on 12v's. But why build something when the bulbs, as pointed out, cost only a few bucks? I like projects too, but if you buy the bulbs you won't have to cut any wires, it's a quick change, and you're on to another project :D
