    Annoying Ticking noise after Head install, Im thinking valvetrain

    Re-read what I wrote before... I edited it some... sorry about that... Also, if your lifters drained during your install, they may simply be dry. If you haven't ran the car much after starting it up, they're going to rattle a little unless you left them soaking in oil during the install...

    Annoying Ticking noise after Head install, Im thinking valvetrain

    Agree, with 1.72s, that the most likely problem. What brand are they?... Cranes are relatively small, but FMS is a bit bulkier. Did you grind all the webbing from the valve cover before installing it with those rockers?... Did you remove all the baffling, etc?... I don't see any info on...

    explain head cc`s

    The CCs are a measure of the amount of cubic centimeters of volume you can hold in a head's combustion chamber... Higher CC numbers will yield lower compression. You calculate compression roughly by the volume in a cylinder after a piston has reached top dead center compared to the volume with...

    radar jammer

    First, active jammers do send a signal back. You can't physically capture a signal, and not send it back. There are certain coatings that absorb EM waves better than others, but no electronic device can make a wave dissappear. You can somewhat cancel a wave out by transmitting something...

    EEC Tuner

    Well, it is true that the optimizer can trick the computer to make the computer run the mixture more rich... Maybe that will help...

    EEC Tuner

    It sounds like you need larger injectors... I run the Pro-M maftuner, but if your injectors are too small, it won't help...

    radar jammer

    The laws of physics dictate that it CANNOT work. Please don't make me go through the rationale as to why it can't work. I promise it will bore the hell out of you. I specialized in RF communications in an electrical engineering degree...

    Performance Products Typhoon Intake??

    6500 on a 302... You have ~10% more breathing capacity in that 331... So you can maybe support 5850 RPMs... Those numbers are rough... You add your compression and nitrous, and you're talking even less capacity... Your call... Maybe someone knows more about it than I do...

    Timing vs. AFR

    That's going to be dependent on your fuel octane, flow through the engine, etc... I don't think it's as simple as one answer... With a lower octane fuel, it won't matter as much. All of it will be burned up quickly... With a higher octane fuel, it may be a bit trickier because of the...

    Performance Products Typhoon Intake??

    I've heard good things about the intake, however, with your extra breathing requirements, you may want to look at the Holly intake...

    Who makes a speedo calibration box for the foxes?

    There's also a company in Atlanta that makes calibration kits. They didn't exactly get mine right, but they're now at 10% off instead of 20% off... :lol: I think it's my fault for specifying the wrong tire diameter. Anyway, make sure you have your tire diameter, final drive ratio, and...

    Can I ground a digital gauge ground wire to the (-) negative battery terminal?

    It doesn't really matter if you go to the negative battery cable. It's not going to hurt anthing. The negative battery cable grounds to the chassis anyway. If you get your ground from the body of the car, you have an added resistance in the circuit back to the battery's negative cable...

    I capped off PCV behind intake..Car wont start!!

    Agreed, it's on the rack with all the fuel filters, PCV valves, etc... The rubber grommet is there, along with a little disk with a wire mesh in it... I got the PCV filter (the wire mesh thing) from my local Ford dealer, but I've seen them at Advance Auto Parts and Autozone.

    Car seems like it misfires when driving after cold startup with s/c...

    Since you're in the communist republic of MA, I'm assuming you still run emissions stuff... If so, and you have your smog pump connected, try taking the hose off that goes to the vacuum actuated valve on the passenger side of the engine. This valve goes to the metal pipe that connects in front...
