    Who has ported a performer lower intake?

    I ported my Performer lower to my 1250s & intake ports on the AFR 165s. I pretty much matched up everything but decided to leave the injector bosses alone and kinda worked around them much as I could. It didn't turn out too bad either... :nice:

    whats the easiest way to "roll" the rear inner fenders???

    I tried the method described above with the ball bat, and the bat just pressed into the tire and didn't do squat to the inner lip... lip stayed put, bat squished into the rear tire.,. I took a die grinder and a porting bit and carefully just cut away what I wanted. I still need to do some...

    Is it possible to hit 13,s with my mods?

    Easily go 13s provided yo have good traction and drive the snot out of it. Here's a link to my buddies high mile 86 GT thats still running the E6 heads and has gone 13.50s @ 99 MPH so far. It weighs 3120 LBs with 1/2 tank of fuel and him in the car [he's 140 LBs LOL]. We did do some...

    Any tuning tips? [gonna go to track sat or sun]

    Just wondered if there are any special things that might make my combo 'work' a bit better.. like f/p plug gap, timing.. Combo is in my sig. Plugs are autolite 24s @ .055". Timing is at 15* initial, and no pinging on 91 octane. [would Sunoco 94 and 18* make a difff?] What's a decent...

    Installed AFPR and now...

    My BBK regulator holds pressure after its shut off.. It slowly bleeds down to 0 but that's like, after a half hour/45 mins..... Lots of things can cause pressure loss after shutdown. Injectors, and isn't there a check valve in the fuel pump itself too?

    How far have you pushed a T5-Z?

    Oh yeah, usually come out around 4500 on the slicks.. but best 60' so far is only a 1.77.. not really a killer by any means.

    How far have you pushed a T5-Z?

    it's possible it's the throwout bearing. I just figured it wans't because this just started to do this... It's a Motorsport clutch with about double the mileage that trans has... Still has the stock cable and quadrant in it... which works smoothly/fine.. engages and disnegages fine. No...

    How far have you pushed a T5-Z?

    Got the new combo in my sig together and running for a few weeks now.. Have had a few street races, and just the odd back road late night fun session with the new parts. Nothing serious. Prior to the new AFRs and Edelbrock intake, the tranny was/worked perfect... no noises etc. This 330 ft...

    AFR 165s.. sparkplug questions..

    When I bought my heads, the blue instruction sheets said to use Autolite 3924s for sparkplugs. If I remember correctly, an Autolite 3924 is one heat range colder than stock plugs.. and they were what I used when I had my nitrous on waaay back when.. with stock heads. So how come AFR...

    Thanks! Yes, the tops of the valves all have a wear mark thats basically right in the middle [like cutting a circle in half..?] from where the roller rockers were working the valve. I did check that right away when I yanked them back off. :shrug: At any rate, i'm just gonna leave the...
