    Wrong sparplugs for AFR 165

    Ever since I put my car back together it wasnt running right so I took it to a shop. Ends up that some of my injectors were bad and I had a cracked spark plug. Anyway AFR reccomends using autolite 3924 plugs and they used motorcraft plugs when they replaced them. Do you think this is affecting...

    ONLY 280HP OUT OF THIS COMBO!!!

    it was done on a dynojet. The guy said the a/f was right on the money. Ed said it was way too lean and to try to get it in the 12.8-12.9 range. One of the dyno runs was on an a/f ratio of 12.8 and made less hp than I ended up with.

    ONLY 280HP OUT OF THIS COMBO!!!

    Im pretty sure the guy said that gearing didnt effect the hp #'s. Either way no matter what gear is in it he said 280 to the wheel. So regardless that is all I have at the wheels. But yes he did say that the motor was probably about 310hp or so at the flywheel. Im just trying to figure out what...

    ONLY 280HP OUT OF THIS COMBO!!!

    yea well thats what im not sure of. I had the 80 in the fender and it seems to rev alot better out of the fender. I dont know if it has anything to do with the short distance the air has to go considering after the meter its just an elbow and its right to the throttle body.

    ONLY 280HP OUT OF THIS COMBO!!!

    yea i dont really think the intake has anything to do with the problem because that was taken into consideration when I ordered the camshaft. Im not sure of the powerband off hand but on the charts all the power fell into the specs of the powerband. Here is something that I think may be part of...

    FUEL PRESSURE LOSS

    I just got my car back from the shop and its too late to call them right now but I noticed that when I start up the car the fuel psi reads 41. After driving the car for a little bit the pressure is down to 30psi. It stays there like thats where its supposed to be what could be making it do that?

    ONLY 280HP OUT OF THIS COMBO!!!

    what does caps lock matter to you? Any way yes I did use the upgraded springs from FTI. If you read my last post it said that Ed confirmed that I needed a chip burned to get the proper A/F ratio.

    DEAD INJECTOR

    I brought my car to the shop because it had a miss that I could not find and they said that they tested the injectors and there is one that doesnt work at all. My question is can it be fixed or repaired or do I need to buy a new one? Also is there any place that I can get only one injector cause...

    mis adjusted valves

    I pretty much got everything else fixed except that i need to run about 60psi fuel pressure with the vac on. I sprayed everything down and could not find a vac leak. Could mis adjusted valves cause this and act as a vac leak?

    MAF PEGGED or NEED CUSTOM CHIP

    Hi guys, I can not get my car to have really any power down low. I need to constantly run high fuel pressure, about 60psi vacuum on. If I try to set it to 39-41psi it either wont idle or will pop through the intake when I rev it. Once I start to get into the power band of the cam the car turns...

    306 Project

    im not positive but im pretty sure that the heads will line up with the intake manifold. I think the only difference is that the 351 block is wider thats why they need 351 intake manifolds but on a 302 everything should be fine.
