    Are roller valve trains noisy?

    I noticed an increase in noise when I went roller rocker, and I know my rockers are adjusted fine. It depends on quality of your valvetrain components, better roller rockers will make less noise and vice versa.

    Stock rocker arms or roller rockers? Roller rockers will make more noise than stock type.

    Holley aluminum heads on 68 302 block - drill waterpassages?

    PCV's and Breathers? Some questions

    On my car I have a PCV valve going into the intake manifold on one side of the motor, and a K&N breather on the other side. Wouldn't common sense dictate that unmetered air could be going in the breather and up the PCV valve into my intake? But then again, don't these cars have a PCV...

    Damn do I ever need gears :(

    So I took the car out to the local dragstrip for the Friday night street legal event. I just wanted to try her out after doing all my motor mods, however as you may or may not know I switched back to the 2.80 gears since my 3.40's were toast (And I have a 9" with 3.50's sitting and waiting)...
