    308 Dyno Results

    Just had my car dyno tuned and this is what it's putting out. I am happy but would like to find an extra 10 horse at the wheels yet. What do you think will get it done? Maybe a little port work on the heads? This was the last run on the dyno and everything was heat soaked/ electric fan was...

    Dyno'd the vert today here are the number's

    Your AFR is probably still too low. We set my car at 13.0 to 1 for the best power. Some less feul and more timing and it'll be better for sure. Have a place that can do a custom SCT chip dyno it. They can adjust out any extra fuel and get it tuned to a T.

    Quick electric fan CFM question

    I put in a Black Magic extreme with 3300 cfm's worth of flow. Works great on my N/A car. Fits like a glove, no rigging to get it to fit. I like it alot so far.

    Pinion Angle and Lowering

    Check the pinion angle first. You may need adjustable upper control arms to bring it back into specs. When I lowered my car and put in Steeda control arms, my trans started puking fluid and vibrated like crap. My trans was worn out and was masked by the loose factory bushings in the rear arms. 1...

    preloading the pinion bearings

    Exactly. With new bearings you want 19-29 inch pounds. Like 8-16 for used bearings or whatever they were at before taking them out.

    Afr 165 pushrod issue. Need suggestions!!!

    Yeah, thats why I have those. #1 cylinders valves are perfect with that size, just some of the other cylinders are not. I looked at it again and noticed the exhaust valves seem to be a little worse than the intake. I'm starting to wonder if the valve stem lengths are not all identical? And I...

    Afr 165 pushrod issue. Need suggestions!!!

    I realize this. I mocked up the valvetrain on #1 cylinder and measured for pushrod length and came up with 6.250". You have to take into account I'm using a thinner headgasket than normal and other variables also. So 6.272 is not perfect for every engine. My rocker contact is perfect on #1...

    Afr 165 pushrod issue. Need suggestions!!!

    Thanks for the reply Tom. When I mocked up the valvetrain when I first built the engine, I checked for pushrod length on #1 cylinder which is one of the best ones on the engine. It seems the drivers side head has more of them wearing towards the intake side. The wear pattern width is about the...

    Afr 165 pushrod issue. Need suggestions!!!

    I have Afr165's on my 308 and originally measured for a 6.250" pushrod. My package was from ED C. and he said that was right in line with what he's found also. I just pulled my intake off for Tmoss to port, and figured I would adjust the valves again (they always seem noisey to me) I looked at...

    Proper way to eliminate EGR???

    I am looking at eliminating the EGR valve on my 92 LX. I have the lower intake off to get ported as I speak and am thinking about blocking the passage for the exhaust gas with the 1250 intake gaskets. I am taking the car to get tuned with an SCT chip and heard that you can turn off the EGR...

    got 3.55's for 5 spd.

    Had 3.55's . Great gear for a stock or lightly modded car. Went to 4.10's with new engine and couldn't be happier. I do have a T-5z trans though which tames the 4.10's a bit. Don't fear the gear!!!

    my new Pro-50 is a noisy little bastard

    I think it depends on the car. I put one in my 1992 with a newer t5-z trans and it is silent until like 4th gear at full throttle at higher rpm's, then it starts to rattle. Put one in my buddys 1998 Cobra, and it sounds like a rock crusher all the time. Would drive me nuts.

    how short will first gear be??

    I was a little worried about replacing my 3.55's with 4.10's but now that I have, I would never go back. At least with the current combo that is. The 3.55's are great on the x-way . I needed a steeper gear with my cam choice and couldn't be happier now. It pulls alot harder and gets in it's...

    Front brake hoses for 5 lug conversion

    I'm putting 1995 Mustang spindles, hubs, calipers,etc on my 92 LX. Do I need different brake hoses from the car to the calipers? What has everyone used? I need to get everything rounded up before taking all of this apart. Any help would be great. Thanks

    Oil getting into new Cobra Upper I/T

    Seems like alot of 302's have this problem. I installed a Cobra intake a while back and had the same issues. Tried all the easy fixes, reroute vacuum, install filter in valve cover to release excess pressure, etc. None helped. Figured it was the engine. Put in a new engine with an Edelbrock...

    Which rockers with AFR 165's?

    They are inline style. I run $195.00 scorpions on mine which FTI recommended. Any brand will work but I've heard of problems with the comp cams pro magnums and AFR heads. I believe it is a stud issue. The best move would be to upgrade to 7/16 studs while your there.
