    I deleted my smog equipment a long while ago. I have all of the old vacuum lines plugged except for a red one running to my intake. I was wondering if i can delete that, and get rid of that whole group of four vacuum lines altogether? It just runs into the fender, where does this go? Do i...

    is a lower intake off of a 86 truck 5.0 worth anything?

    I just ripped down a 86 truck block for a budget buildup, and i was just wondering if the intake was worth anything. All i have is the lower, but it looks alot like my systemax II lower. I was just wondering if i bead-blasted it and cleaned it up if i could sell it for any kind of real money.

    compression check results, pleas analize before S/C.

    SC should spin freely without oil in it correct?

    that's what i'm saying. On superchargerhelp.com there's an sn93 section, and i asked people that bought it brand new. That's the info they gave me, it does take a good amount of force by hand to spin it though, it is really tuff. I hope my crank holds up for me.

    Launch

    Well, if you want it for the straight line, you want your front end to lift up. It is all about traction and weight distribution. The more weight transferring to your rear wheels, the more traction you'll have on your launch. Eibach drag springs, 90/10, or 70/30 shocks up front, 50/50's in...
