    Indexing spark plugs? And what gap to run for 347?

    I've never seen dyno proof that said it was worth it. I see it as a "blueprinting" technique, it doesn't take that long and probably is worth a couple of HP. I personally index mine to point them toward the exhaust valve simply to keep them out of the incoming flow of nitrous into the...

    Eliminating the Distributor?

    My take on it: If they can turn close to 9000 RPM for 500 miles in NASCAR racing, what is left to improve? Just my opinion.

    Wanted: Traction at the track

    HPM Mega-bite lowers and steeda double adjustable uppers. No wheelhop, no quads, BFG Drag Radials at 17 PSI that day.. Note how the rear lifts almost as much as the front :)

    Maf?

    Well, if your MAF came with a sheet, you input those numbers into the MAF Transfer function. Otherwise, you gotta input from the ones saved with your files and read your KAMRF at part throttle and try to adjust from there... Or, get an 80mm LMAF and call it a day. They can be had very...

    Cheap Bottle Heater?

    My NX kit takes a while to warm up, I'd say about 10 minutes or more to get to 1050 PSI depending how much is in the bottle. If you get a bottle blanket it will speed the process up a little, since it'll retain the heat and disperse it around the bottle further. BTW your "20 lb" bottle...

    4:10 gears

    Yeah, they'll work. Our cars have kind of a "hybrid" speedo, partially mechanical, so the speedcal can still fix it, however a speedo gear can also still fix it...

    c6 transmission into a 95 stang

    I knew a guy who went from a worn-out 302 to a fresh 351 and swapped to a C-6 along with it because he thought it was stronger. In the end, he went slower because of the weight and parasitic HP loss from the truck transmission. C4's can be had cheaply and reliably and are designed...

    got car dyno tuned but I am not sure I am happy?

    Very very highly ported ones and a more aggressive cam than an E for 300 rwhp with P heads...

    4:10 gears

    Fords tach is usually off some. I simply use a shiftlight so I know for sure when to shift. Not a big fan of the huge tachs in street cars... To each his own though..

    Lakewood Lift bars?

    Looks like its a slightly different design off the HP Motorsport Mega-bite Jr's that I have. I like 'em, the rear end pushes down on launch instead of squatting down. Weight transfer is still there, it just pushes the axle into the pavement. On the street mine are just as quiet as stockers...

    Help me understand dragstrip math...

    Every tenth in the sixty foot will usually be worth 2-3 tenths lower ET. Your MPH can be affected by many things, mostly tirespin. The more you spin your tires, the faster your trap speed will be, but your ET will rise, because you're spinning your tires. My car makes waay more power...

    Rear control arms for DD

    I fought wheelhop for a long long time with Factory and FRPP uppers with my HPM lowers. Switched to Steeda Double Adjustable uppers and all my issues were gone. I even ditched the quads, not a hint of wheel hop.

    95 Cobra won't fire up - HELP!

    My bet is also either PIP or TFI module. Often they go out together, basically one takes out the other. If the computer can't tell the engine is cranking it won't turn the fuel pump back on..

    351W

    '94-'97 Ford Truck blocks (F4TE) were roller 351's. They can be had as a shortblock for 800 bucks fresh rebuilt on Ebay, you can make some of that back selling the rotating assembly and then you have your block :)

    You dead sure they were ultraflows? The standard Dynomax system (super turbos) is almost as quiet as stock..

    cobra rear bumper cover.....

    We painted it along with my hood and sidescoops, and respraying the front bumper and sideskirts. My buddy back in Louisiana was a painter for a living so it was easy. Get it painted pro. Make sure they use Epoxy primer on it too, otherwise you'll crack the paint re-installing it...

    Sound advice not just for pet owners but husbands as well!

    Yeah, when Rita Smacked us last year, Leesville had several hundred thousand dollars worth of damage to the town.... and the town looked pretty much the same except with some fallen trees, and every redneck's nightmare: the taxidermy shop was in ruins! Nooooooo! I was the only person...
