    What's the best head, cam, intake combo for a street drivin 5.0 if money is no object

    If money is no object, aftermarket block, crank, pistons, and rods, afr heads, any decent intake(extrude honed if you like), supercharger with well matched cam, and nitrous. Of course, you will need a killer drivetrain to back up this power, but money is no object, right? Easy 10's, at least...

    WHat HP is this? Whats your HP???????

    If you are not making 350+ RWHP, something is wrong. With decent tires and gears, you should have no problem running easy 11's with that combo. Please get some decent headers, though. They are fine for stock or slightly modded engines, but with your combo, they are indeed a bottleneck. I...

    WTF, found gas door open, cap off

    Maybe they just loosened the cap and left it hanging there to mess with you. Maybe that's all they did. Maybe they put brake fluid or engine oil or Coors light down there. Sadly, there is only one way to find out. Drop the tank and have a quick look. They probably just siphoned some fuel...

    what demon carb for my setup?

    I hate to be a "sales whore", but PM me if you are interested in a Street Demon I have that I want to get rid of. I believe it's a 625 with vacuum secondaries and an electric choke. With your set up it's plenty of carb. I had no problems running mid-11's on my 455 Olds with only a 750...

    Does engine need to be grounded?

    If you have solid motor mounts, you should be ok, but you can't have too many grounds. Be safe and hook it up.

    torque converter

    If you lost a lot of mph through the traps, it's probably too much converter. What did it run before the converter change, and what does it run now? ET and mph please.

    3.08 Swap to 3.55?

    Price is right, but you will probably be happier with more gear, later on, if you have some mods.

    Make me smoke LS1s

    Hey JBVobra, What's the difference between porcupines and Corvette's? Answer: With porcupines, the pricks are on the outside.

    Cecil County Drag Way

    I love that track too! People that work there are pretty cool. I ussed to bracket race my Olds there. I'm picking up my stepfathers 5.0 on Saturday. :banana: :nice: Just bought it from him. I'll be at Ridley Creek State park this Saturday. Bunch of folks from this forum are supposed to...

    350 ci chevy motor in a fox stang

    This stuff always gets em stirred up! IMHO it's easier to keep a Ford motor in a Ford vehicle, unless you like fabricating. I have a 455 Olds motor that makes well over 500 ft/lbs of torque just above idle, and I would never put it in my "new" 88 LX. Just my 2 cents. I did way too much...

    Need help-306 or 331 for a daily driver

    We really should start a new thread on breaking in an engine properly. I broke my bracket racing Olds 455 in a similar fashion as this web page suggests. I had Arias pistons, and started her up and ran it for 10-15 minutes at between 1500 and 2000 rpm's, then changed the oil out to synthetic...

    wtf is car and driver smoking

    That may be true in road racing, but not drag racing. In drag racing you want the sidewall to "work". The sidewalls in SERIOUS drag cars (including 7000+hp top fuel cars) have a large sidewall. Why is that? I don't know the exact physics, but I do know that large, flexible sidewalls are...

    wtf is car and driver smoking

    IMHO, the Car and Driver folks are biased. Who cares. So am I. I don't like their magazine, so I don't buy it. I used to when I was a kid. They test way too many cars that are out of my price range anyway. :D Car and Driver AND Road and Track are both owned by a French company. That's...

    2005 Mustang or Subaru WRX STi

    Well put Canary. Mustangs are generally straight-line cars. STi's are not. Don't get me wrong, some Stangs can slice and dice twisties. It comes down to what you want out of a car. A V-8 will almost always have more horsepower potential because of the likelihood of the additional...

    Need help-306 or 331 for a daily driver

    Oh, yea. Screw mileage, you already have a performance V-8. What's a loss of 1-2 MPG?
