    One Step Colder Plugs?

    Just curious...and to make sure...The colder the plug, means the hotter the spark, right? Or wrong? Or am i totally off here....

    Help me choose a chip

    most of those chips dont improve performance per-say, they usually adjust the timing or something like that...fuel curve, etc. I dont really think (even if they do improve perfomance) that it would be worth the price of one...use your money else where.

    I live in simpsonville, off of 385. Nice to know someone on here lives near me, feels more like home. Yea, thanks rick, he said they'd install one for $1750...little out of our budget. They have some nice setups, no doubt. My dad was a welder/fabricator for 15 years, i could easily make my...

    Twin or single turbo(s) for daily driving?

    No, i really did get paid. For one of the civics the guy gave me $150 for helping him. Not bad if you ask me, we put on a turbo kit, injectors, intake, new valve cover and a few other things that day. Other than that i've helped my buddy andy put a Novi 1200 on his 87 5.0. And two other...

    Complete suspension set up opinions.

    No that is the exception to that rule. We already put subframes on it. That was one of the exceptions to that rule, we put on MM full lengths. Trust me, we already knew that....:nice: Oh and by the way, forgot to mention we got a baseline last September, we had a 14.8 @ 98mph. Thats what we...

    Complete suspension set up opinions.

    were not thinking about actually altering the frame of the car in any way shape for form...we came up with a few simple rules; 1.) No alteration of the stock engine or drivetrain other than the rear gear. 2.) No cutting of the body/frame of the car. 3.) Suspension must be left in stock...

    Complete suspension set up opinions.

    Me and my friend are building a 5.0 and were trying to make this thing launch so hard we want it to feel like its going to break something. Were trying to see how fast we can make it by just tuning the suspension until we start on the engine, drive train. Its a completly stock 1990 Notch. Any...

    84 306 runs rich and skips

    yea the pcv sometimes runs to the carb. in older Mustangs. Also check your plugs on it, if your running pretty rich then your going to be fouling plugs out. Do you have a points style distributor in it? Whats all done to the engine? Do a basic engine tune up and see what happens from there, you...

    what kind of cam and what size

    I agree, i mean you can pick one off the shelf and try to match it with what you have, or you can build the engine around the one you picked off the shelf. Custom cams are the way to go. Its designed to make the absoblute most of YOUR combo, not the 34,495,593,580 other people who buy the same...

    Engine Tech: How to improve efficiency?

    I mean only 1/3 of the gasoline that you put into your engine is actually turned into rotating energy through the crank. After the gas actually explodes it all becomes mechanical efficientcy, that would factor into valve springs, crank, rods, etc all the items that cause friction or resistance...

    Engine Tech: How to improve efficiency?

    Also a Huge part is volumetric efficiency!- bgjohnson Agree'd And rpm's have alot to do with it, as rpm's go up, combustion engines become less efficient. Thats why all your torque is down low, no up in the rpm' range. RPM's go up----Engine efficiency go down. Compression ratio...

    Twin or single turbo(s) for daily driving?

    yea, i just prefer superchargers...different strokes for different folks i guess. I just like the nice underhood room you get with them compared to turbos. I mean for an all out race engine where getting the max power is all that counts, turbo hands down, they're just more efficent than...

    what kind of cam and what size

    First off a 750 carb seems a little big for a mild street 347, more like a 600-650 would be plenty for mild street engine. Of coarse im just assuming its a mild street engine. Really need more info on the use of the engine. Is it a strictly street engine, daily driver..etc. But engines really...

    Twin or single turbo(s) for daily driving?

    Turbo's just dont seem worth the effort on a daily driven street car. A supercharger would be much more practicle for the application and a much simpler install. You cant just slap some turbo's on and go like you can a supercharger. Most of the time, cheaper to. Just my opinion though.

    what to do with engine, tran ?????

    im just saying, for the whole thing you might get...$700 bucks or so, 302's are pretty plentifull so everyones gonna want it for near nothing. And think about if you throw a rod or something in your 331, god forbid. Your going to be out a car and an engine. I'd keep it, its worth more in the...
