    Front Coil over conversion? how?

    Coil over setups have no disadvantages IMO, all around better. They are easy to do, if you have the right equipment as you'll need good caster/camber plates that will work with coil overs(contact manufacture). I know hotchkis doesn't recommend them, Steedas are OK, as well as MM(they use...

    Tweecer needs wideband O2 to work right?

    I went the custom chip route and was disappointed also, I did not like the idea of having to pay $100 bux for a reburn after I upgraded something. I may have been more impressed with the chip but they backed way off after they thought my car was detonating, but it turned out to be the...

    Pinion Woes

    Yes, it should come out with no problems, not sure why you'd have to beat on it!

    This combo seem good?

    I see no problem with your goals being met with that combo. Do a search for each installation part (head installation) as there have been many posts on this.

    Important Help Requested...Psuedo Techish

    I would go with a sportsman blockd 331, adjust the boost to your heads/compression/fuel system to get the power you want. 9.5-10:1 with 8-12 psi is what I would suggest.(have a good low end/fuel mileage while keeping the blower/air temps down with the lower boost). 400+rwhp I would say...

    Tweecer needs wideband O2 to work right?

    I have the RT and have been playing around with it for a few weeks, It's well worth th $$$ just for the driveability, not to mention the extra power. You can control just about every aspect of the tune, not just A/F ratio. The factory O2s are narrow band and are not accurate with the 12-13:1...

    to keep 19# or go 24# for this?

    You'll be fine with the 19#ers. Just bump the fuel pressure up to ~45psi(play with it at the track). I ran 12.2s with 19#ers. A 255 in tank would be a good idea, and would support the 75 shot later.

    is this a good combo??

    The holley lower is based on the truck, so it will be a good match, I must stress the need for the right cam selection to pull the combo together.

    need tranny help

    The most difficult part would be the pedal assymbly, I suggest going to a junk yard and pulling them off, you pretty much have to pull the entire dash off to get them out.

    Trick Flow Head probs.

    If it's getting better with rocker adjustment, check them again. I adjust mine by having the rocker loose, then tighten it up while spinning the push rod, when it gets hard to spin I figure that is 0 lash, then another 1/2 turn. Since you are getting backfires thru the exhaust and intake, I...

    help with engine build up! please read:)

    There is a way around it, depending on if they have cameras in the shop. If you know the guy, just have him pull another V8 car or truck and have that car do the sniff test. Or just find a way to get extra fresh air in your exhaust.(guy passed cali emissions by plumbing his blower straight into...

    running lean cuz of a cai?

    Yes, if you have the fenderwell style CAI you should try to rotate the MAS, mine liked it about 25 degrees towards the engine. It does this due to the velocity difference in the radius of the CAI, WOT is not affected as much as part throttle.

    Does Boring an Engine Add any HP?

    Everything else the same, I would give 4-10 with most of the H/C/I combos.

    injector prices, diagnostics

    You can check with a screwdriver up to your ear(like a stethoscope) you should hear it clicking....if not, swap to another port....if it still does not then its the injector. You should be able to get one rebuilt for cheaper than 57! Check swap meets as well, maybe someone will give one to you.

    is porting stock lower intake enough?

    You'll be looking closer to 380 FWHP with 6#s. You'll get that 400HP with 8#s though. Make sure your fuel system is up to the task as your motor is actually producing about 17% more power than you see at the flywheel(due to the blower).

    question about porting stock stuff

    If you are going to keep the stock look, TMOSS/Thumper are the only way to go. You would have to educate yourself before doing a port job RIGHT. And after you know how, you will need the right tools, then the hours and hours to do it. For the price you cannot beat having these guys do the...

    Who makes a better Drag Slick?? Hoosier or M/T?

    I have had good luck with both M/T ET drags and Goodyears. Both hooked well on my car. As mentioned above, your 60' time will be dependant on your setup. I also got a 1.61 with 26x10 ET Drags, put some 28x9" Goodyears and couldn't get better than a 1.68 with the same setup.
