    Dyno #'s 347

    Just got an e-mail from the company that is tuning my car. With a fairly conservative tune and 93 octane pump gas the car pulled 381 RWHP and 362 ft.lbs TQ SAE adjusted. The Tuner states that the "car starts very easily. Pulls away from stop lights smoothly and cruises around town very...

    PLUG WIRES

    PLUG WIRES

    Some of you may have seen or responded to my posts regarding spark plug arcing issues I am experiencing. I am seeing arcing at the boots to the headers as well as the plug wires themselves arcing against the valve covers. I had a couple of experienced car guys look at my car and they...

    Plug wire recommendations?

    I have plasic separators. Is it possible that the new set of plug wires are bad? Scott

    Best plug wires?

    Thanks for the replies. My headers are long tubes that are ceramic coated inside and outside. It doesn't appear as if every boot has a spark arcing problem. Most of the arcing is coming from the back 2 boots on the drivers side. However on the passenger side at least one of the wires...

    Plug wire recommendations?

    I am currently fighting a arcing issue with my current (brand new) set of red Ford Racing plug wires. Arcs at the boot as well as arcing on the valve covers..:bang: See sig.. The car also has headers which make for a VERY tight fit between the 1965 shock towers... I need a set of plugs...

    plug wire and boot spark arcing

    I thought that the reason headers get to hot and consequently glow orange or red was due to the unburnt fuel burning in the headers instead of the combustion chamber. This is caused by a rich condition... I think that problem will be resolved when I go for the tune and dyno time. I am...

    lifter noise

    Thanks.. I do get a lot of compliments on the wheels... Yeah I really got caught with my pants down on this one. When they send you the wheels they include a bag with a device to screw into the fitting so that you can put air in the tire.:bang: I am lucky in that I have a lift in my...

    Rollin' on 18's?

    You might be right on being able to fit a bigger tire with more Backspacing. I have seen that you have 275's :eek: Looks great. My tires really seem to fill the wheel wells. Not a lot of room left. I was getting some tire rub with the 2" lowering blocks. (hard corners and bumps in the...

    Rollin' on 18's?

    MDJAY, Maeir SFC's welded in.. Thanks... Yes this car was built by G Force Design Concepts. At one point I had a 2" lowering block on the car then we changed it to a 1" block.. ultimately we removed the lowering blocks all together. I also would have liked to have had a wider...
