    Whats the ideal engine temp for a slightly modified 302?

    hehe just read my post and I think it is time to go to sleep hissin I think your name is I will check this later man but right now sleep really calls my name as I have been up for quite some time now but yeah reason you don't run the motor for 30 min is heat soak in the motor bay tand the...

    Whats the ideal engine temp for a slightly modified 302?

    part of the reason a f-body goes with the cooler therm is one problem with running the motor warmer is it does tend to heat up the motor bay so when you are just sitting there at a light your bay is getting all nice and toasty which the filter will just draw in all that nice hot air another...

    Running Without Thermostat...?

    generally the hotter you run the motor the better hotter motor means less heat going into the cooling system on combustion in the chamber which means more pressure as we all should know more pressure means more power so as long as you are not going through detonation or warping,craking the...

    Whats the ideal engine temp for a slightly modified 302?

    I agree hot motor is generally best for performance when your motor burns fuel it creates heat which builds pressure a lot of that heat goes into the cooling system causing less pressure which means less efficiency or less power the hotter you can run the motor without damaging it or going...

    What's the best place to buy A/F ratio gauges?

    EGT might not tell the whole story sure when you are running rich your EGT might be a little lower from cooling in the exhuast but then again you could also be running a little rich and having the excess fuel burn inside the exhuast chamber causing high EGT also timing is factor there if...

    Who has the highest spinning 302 (or stroked 302)?

    lucky bastard though in my car 2.73 wouldn't work worth a darn right now running 4.10's with 205/60/15 tires still haven't figure out how many rpms I have hit though best way to keep a streetable high rev motor is to take advantage or variable cam timing not going to happen or build...

    "Ricer" writes a letter to Car Craft...must read

    for a ricer maybe that is the arguement about displacement to me it doesn't matter how the power is made be it from boost, displacement, nitrous or even head swaps cams and such its all the same just another tool used to add power only reason I was saying what I said was your first comment...

    Flex-A-Lite Electra fan or black magic fan, whats' better?

    I can find out if you give me some time cause I might be interested in this swap only thing I'm worried about is I have a whopping 60a charging system :-(

    Who has the highest spinning 302 (or stroked 302)?

    have ya beat man forgot to shift out of first in a race and my car is loud enough didn't hear the 7000rpm redline buzzer look down car is pegged at 8000rpms all I know is I was doing about 45 mph or so in first gear or there was the time I downshifted from 5th to 2nd OOPS :chair: doing...

    Flex-A-Lite Electra fan or black magic fan, whats' better?

    ok guys just a few questions for you what alt does the mark VIII come with? also do you think either one of these fans could be swapped into my rx7? and how about much would they go for?

    How come sometimes 1st gear doesn't pull at all?

    when you do this action read the rpms vs the mph if rpms rise and mph just sits there clutch is fubar if rpms rise AND mph rise then your spinning bud :D

    Why do people delete their spoilers? Aren't they functional?

    figured as much but hey it's the net and you are a mustang owner so you might really believe in that stuff :p

    Why do people delete their spoilers? Aren't they functional?

    read the info presented they are able to reduce drag as well if not care to explain why the car has a lower drag coefficient then the cars without the spoiler? same care same body style well aware of how a F1 wing works but that wasn't part of the original thing you quoted of me it was...

    Why do people delete their spoilers? Aren't they functional?

    yeah don't remember much about the mustang spoiler as I can't even remember what it looks like off the top of my head v6 stangs rule this area and almost no GT's and the GT's around here a lot of times are bare back

    there is no magic in how it works just some physics

    Why do people delete their spoilers? Aren't they functional?

    then a VW mini bus should have lots of downforce right? but yet take it against lets say the S7 which is a ton more aerodynamic which makes more downforce though? adding more wing can make for more downforce yes and does make for more drag but there is a difference between the idea...

    Why do people delete their spoilers? Aren't they functional?

    those I would think are functional and the whole slope on my car is a little different then on yours I'm sure which might be part of why it works but like the new ferrari super car I would think that thing is fairly aerodynamic just wish I had some specs on it but yet it puts down almost...

    Why do people delete their spoilers? Aren't they functional?

    care to tell me why the stock air damn plus a little piece in front of each of my wheels as well as the spoiler on my car reduce the drag from .32 down to .28 and cut lift in half? if anything these pieces you would think are in the way of airflow but instead work to redirect it and make it...
