    Ignition module or coil pack problem?

    Check for diagnostic codes first; every DIS fault I can think of will set a code. Confirm fuel pressure at the fuel rail.

    Chin Spoiler

    When I think of chin spoilers, the Boss 302 comes to mind. I wonder how that spoiler would look on an SN-95...

    3.73 Or 3.90

    That's a nice calculator. Good find. It agrees with my calculations, FWIW. Statistically I haven't seen much change from 3.08 to 3.73, approximately 0.2mpg, and that's a big change in gearing; I'll be really surprised if you can measure a difference in mileage between the 3.73 and the 3.90...

    3.73 Or 3.90

    This is from my spreadsheet, condensed table for cruise, for use with 255/45.17 and 5spd (can someone double-check my math please): mph 3.08 3.55 3.73 3.90 4.10 35 1865 2149 1685 1762 1852 45 1789 2062 2167 2266 2382 70 1892 2181 2292 2396 2519 80 2163 2493 2619 2738 2879 100 2704...

    Best N/A tq + hp tips and tricks, do tell all

    I would expect the marine exhaust manifold to be a hindrance. But OK, if it's required then them's the breaks. :shrug:

    Best N/A tq + hp tips and tricks, do tell all

    Well, there's no one right answer, especially when we factor in cost and what I want to call "liveability", a set-up that will be easy to live with. Going back to I could see the factory roller, retarded some to extend the top end with a 1 5/8" header--stretch the RPM band up. Conversely, I...

    need help with tapping noise

    Lifter clatter? If a cam lobe stops on the rocker the HLAs will drain down over time and then they need a bit of time to refill. Should correct itself fairly quickly. Just a SWAG. :shrug:

    Rhoads Lifters?

    I need more proof before I try it. The only firm data I have is this magazine article and a general discussion in this book; neither are convincing. But the idea seems brilliant on paper.

    Rhoads Lifters?

    Thanks Tmoss :nice: I reckon I'd bump it to the top and see if anyone else has any experience with them.

    Rhoads Lifters?

    Anyone catch the review in Hot Rod magazine? It looks to me like the test was counter-productive; the lifters restored the low-end on the dyno but then lost the top end... http://www.rhoadslifters.com/products.html What do you think? :shrug:

    how much HP/porting and polishing stock intake

    Hey, FWIW, I used my electric drill and a rotary rasp 5-8451, then finished with a cartridge roll on my 4-banger DD. It's a great method if you don't have to get too deep into the port, say, 40mm or so, and the removal rate is just about right for me. I'm planning to use the same technique...

    Air Temp vs H.P. loss?

    Here's a way to find out how much the weather affects your times. You can get current weather and a crude altimeter from someplace like www.wunderground.com Then, find out your race weight and it's easy to predict 1/4 mile performance: http://www.slowgt.com/Calc1.htm#PerfHPWt

    2.3 Compression/Cam

    The calculations look correct to me. I think you mean to mill 0.049", not 0.49"...! :p 1 Teaspoon=5cc, Linky. Now you can cc your head. :nice: I would not mill the head .050" if it were mine. An 87 speed density computer won't tolerate much cam; the loss of vacuum at idle causes the...
