    This is a really good point.... and i really want to learn to tune.. i really like the idea of the Holley 600 DP.. Anyone have an opinion on the Barry Grant Speed Demon? The only thing that concerns me with holley is the mechanical Secondarys... true, the vehicle will weight right around 3100...

    Carb Recommendation for mild street buildup 5.0

    Is the street avenger 575 enough carb? im assuming it is... especially if i dont plan on spinning the hell out the motor. i really dont want to run rich up top with too much carb. The edelbrock performer is attractive, sounds user friendly and is relitively low-budget... Im still kicking around...

    PLEASE HELP!!! Advice on rear bottoming out with cut c-springs

    honestly the best advice anyone can give you is replace the springs... probably need the rear shocks too... its really not hard to do.. if your going to be selling the car anyway, you could always pickup some stock springs and just put it back to the stock height.. but i wouldnt sell it in...

    Got my car back....pretty disappointed...

    honestly i would do the gears if you can swing it financially. 3.73 or 4.10s ive heard MD motorsports does a pretty damn good job, i wouldnt get it retuned... how many miles on the shortblock? nothing really jumping out at me from the dyno graph, looks pretty fair, but i agree.. i think you...

    Best Springs I want your .02

    H&R supersports guy.... people have had trouble with the sportlines sagging in the rear... the FFRP are popular cause there cheap and ride well but dont give enough drop IMHO... H&R Supersports are worth the few extra bucks.
