    Help Me Pick an LCD TV

    One feature I'd recommend is a DVI input. It was not standard on all TVs when I shopped this spring. And with a TV as big as you are using, you can effectively use it as a computer monitor too for a HTPC. -Edit- Did I say DVI? I meant PC input (VGA/SVGA). Well, either DVI or PC will work...

    guys with 4.10s get in here

    I can give you the opinion of someone who has run both 3.73 and 4.10 in the same car. My first major mod was 4.10 gears. My rationale was that that was going to be the only mod I would ever do, so why not go all the way. Of course that didn't work out the way I planned. And soon I had the...

    Does a smaller bladed TB give a better throttle response? Like 75 mm inst of 80mm?

    Thanks Adam, but I don't think I getting my point across quite right. Throttle response, again as I understand it - maybe I'm the only one who uses the term this way - is the time lag from putting your foot down to observing ANY engine response. It's not a matter of how much go at various...

    Does a smaller bladed TB give a better throttle response? Like 75 mm inst of 80mm?

    Interesting stuff guys, although I understand very little of it. The early posts in this thread struggled to define throttle response. I think that is a fairly easy and well understood concept that got blown out of proportion for the original question at hand. Throttle response, as commonly...

    Zoom aluminum flywheel

    I'm lookng at a Zoom aluminum flywheel for my newly built 347 stroker. I'm also going with a new clutch (Centerforce dual friction). Here's the one: Zoom 60-3104 - Zoom Lightweight Aluminum Flywheels - summitracing.com Anyone have any experience with Zoom or know about them? Is this a good...

    Are valve cover breathers a big vacuum leak?

    Hissin, could you elaborate? Is there more crankcase pressure in a modded motor, overwhelming the design of the stock PCV? Along those lines, is the reason that a breather does not present a vacuum issue that it generally only expells (assuming the PCV connection is removed) air due to...

    this shifter any good?

    Now that this thread is fully highjacked into an MGW praise-fest, I'll throw in that I too love my MGW shifter. It feels absolutely rock solid, and it's as quiet as stock. Get one of their shifter knobs with the shifter too.

    Will the Holley Systemax intake fit under a stock hood?

    I have a '94 GT convertible, with a strut bar from Maximum Motorsports. The strut bar works around most intakes. But I'm wondering about the hood clearance. Does anyone know whether it will fit?

    Flowmaster 50 Series

    I've run both the Delta 40 and Delta 50 on my car. Personally I prefer the Delta 50 series that I have on now. They are virtually the same as the 40's at WOT, but a very small amount quieter at idle and anywhere up to half throttle. Neither of them will sound stock by any means. But you can...

    Which intake? And related question.

    OK, I killed my block. So I'm rebuilding with a 347 and custom cam from Jay Allen. Otherwise, my mods will essentially be the same as listed in sig. The question is, should I dump the Street Heat intake? My alternates are to go to the Track Heat or Holley Systemax. I've gotten two...

    Does anyone know anything about Ford Strokers in the Chicago area?

    Got a recommendation to them. Just wanted to see if anyone has experience with them.

    engine balancing

    Could someone explain the basic benefits of having a machine shop balance an engine? Is there any benefit of having a short block balanced to the clutch and flywheel?

    Thinking about going CHP 347

    That's exactly what I want to find out. Seems like my heads and intake should flow pretty well for a 347. But what do I know (nothing). Thanks Grady.

    what's a good balancer?

    Bolts to the front of the crank. It has your timing markings on it.

    Thinking about going CHP 347

    I killed my block. Hopefully I can salvage the heads, rest of my top end should be fine (mods in sig). So now I'm looking at rebuilding with a Coast High Performance 347 Street Fighter. Any thoughts? I was making about 285 HP at the rear wheels with my mods. I'd like to not blow past a...

    Engine took a dump - a BIG dump - question

    BINGO! You hit it on the head, er, eh . . . snout. Crank broke. I took it to a pretty good shop here. Just don't have the heart to tear it apart on my own again. And they said the crank snout broke. Probably caused by my balancer failure several months back. I drove it home after the...

    Engine took a dump - a BIG dump - question

    OK, so I'm running to the store last night. Car's just warming up. So I'm not pushing it hard. Accelerating from the light, and I hear a loud bang from the engine compartment. A good puff of smoke follows, and the car goes absolutely silent. I coast off to the side of the road, bleeding...
