    5 lug wheel problem

    I agree that not all wheels fit exactly the same ... but if the wheels are manufactured properly and have an exact backspacing, then a fitment guideline can be resolved. From an offset perspective ... as long as the bizarre manufacturers are thrown out of the equation (any ones that would...

    Having Problems With Daily Driver

    To me it sounds like the computer is receiving bad info and is making the engine stumble and run like ds. I wouldn't be so sure your tps is in good working order ... I'd re-pull the codes before spending a chunk of money on diagnostic equipment.

    Best Heads for 347 Stroker

    I'm all up on that AFR jock :Word: I completely agree the AFR's are not the end all of performance. I personally have experienced great reliability and good track times with the 185's on my 331. They are an excellent head and I don't challenge your opinion on the victors ... If I was gonna...

    347-185 or 205 afr?

    Since you are boosting the intake charge I would go with the larger 205's. The engines predicated nature to pre-detonate the mix will be alleviated more with a larger port head. :Word:

    will it work, this is here the question

    The E cam would actually work okay for the combo. The match issue is in the heads. The 185's like a split pattern with a bit more lift and more aggressive timing events than the E provides. By running a larger cam and those nice heads, then the GT40 becomes the hinderance. For all the...

    Predict Cam Characteristics...

    Those specs aren't bad for a "street car". I would go with a little more valve lift (.550 area) and kept the duration and lsa right where it is. The 185's flow peak around the .550" lift area. The idle will have a little lope to it, so you will know the engine has a cam, but not at all too...

    373's in a 5.0 with AOD?

    Do not get 4.10's. Yes you can get on the freeway, but you'll be watching the gas gauge drop quicker with those gears. A daily driver with a stock engine (- exhaust) is not all about going from 0-60 all day long. I have 3.73's in my AOD notch and they are just about right. At 65 it runs...

    no throaty sound with new 40 series flows

    Let it go ... I offered no "theories" .... Go back and read my posts with a little visual acuity. Exhaust gases flow through a muffler in a designed or concentrated path. Areas not in direct line of this path will build up with more carbon than the "flow path". While carbon itself will...

    how to get that cool air intake whistle???

    I whistle myself a few times throughout the day .... Pay me a couple hunnerd bucks and I'll come over to your house whenever you want and whistle in your fu kin' ear 'til you've had enough.

    no throaty sound with new 40 series flows

    :nice: Exactly ... the disagreement has become too futile to waste anymore time on it. Less filling ... tastes great :lock:

    no throaty sound with new 40 series flows

    No actually the mufflers changed tone after about a month of daily driving in moderate weather ... but, it's all in my head and I can live with the psychosis. :lock:

    no throaty sound with new 40 series flows

    Maybe if you were suffering from TSS :) All I'm saying is I could call their "tech dept" and ask them why both sets of my Flows got a little deeper and then I would get a different answer from a different "tech guy". Am I willing to call them and find out: NO. I will just take your word...

    no throaty sound with new 40 series flows

    At what temperature does an aluminized alloy melt ... At what temperature does it distort or change temper. I supposed you also have not noticed the deeper tone when you have the a/f ratio fat either :rolleyes: Look, you don't hear the change, fine ... take the Tech Departments word for...

    MagnaFlows with H?

    Yes, I love the sound above 3500 too, but I'd like to get a little deep down lown also (have my cake and eat it too I guess). I always wondered if that '90 LX on the sound clip had any engine work done to it (heads, cam, etc) besides exhaust to make it breath better, or if it was a stocker...
