    Buying An Ed Curtis Cam

    I like Ed, I have a great amount of respect for the results he has gotten people, but I'm not crazy about "fill out a form and I'll send you a cam". So, I would be very detailed on the very last part of that form titled "goals/expectations". This is where you are going to tell him what elevation...

    Borla Pro Xs...

    So, I like the Borla's. Much more tame at idle, which, I kinda miss... the old FlowMasters sounded like the car was spitting out metallic bits... these, are more mellow, still on the nasty side but not "rude" either. The Flows sounded like a NASCAR, these, tell you something is different, and...

    Survey On Whats The Best Set-up.

    kind of a loaded question. The larger head will offer the same power as the smaller head with better drive-abilty and less requirement for rpm. Start throwing the same "better" drive-abity requirements at the smaller head, will require "less" cam, and now the smaller head starts giving up power...

    stock MAM is 55mm (can be bored out to 60mm), of course QA/QC could have that either way a few mm's. I don't understand why you "need" larger MAM than TB, but seems like what most folks do. I'm running a 76mm MAM and a 75mm TB. Seems to work ok. Always wondering what a 90mm MAM would do... if...

    odd... I mean whatever, but, fancy T5 vs fancy T5 you would thing they would be on the same page. Maybe has more to do with synchos material... straw... reaching... not grasping...

    Synergyn Syngear II Transmission Fluid... 1qt, then top off with Mercon V Based ATF. Astro recommends the Mercon V Based ATF to be Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF.

    The Mouse is a little bitch... Was going to fire it up Friday. Thursday, I remember that the A5 needs a special elixir, which of course pretty much no one has heard of. Found some in Texas, but, cannot be overnight'd, so it's on a slow truck that makes a lot of stops between there and here. So...

    Thinking Of Ditching The Cobra Stuff.

    I prefer lightly and tastefully modded car, or pure stock. Having said that, you need to decide for yourself. Until you know what you want, building something based on a "pole" is not likely to bring you satisfaction. I'm sure if I did a pole, and built from that, I'd have a lowered, tinted...

    Borla Pro Xs...

    Well, pulled the trigger... roll of the dice... Never heard a set in real life, just going from folks comments on the internets that they are happy with them. Most video clips I found were of chevies (tree-fiddies) or 331/347/363's with hydro roller setups. Guess I'll find out what they sound...

    Stock Shortblock, 350-375 Hp With Hci?

    ahh, forgot your car was of that era, and, and, even if I had have recalled, was not informed/knowledgeable regarding the computer/tuning differences/difficulties.

    Stock Shortblock, 350-375 Hp With Hci?

    Thanks. Lets keep in mind making power with puny E7te's is an entirely different exercise than making power with a "real" cylinder head. I agree with the others with regard to tuning. Even my stupid high-strung/pizzed-off little 306 started up, and fell into an idle, and drove well with the...

    I know, I know... with only ~215cfm to work with, it is one "pizzed off" little 306. It really doesn't mind 7000+rpm... it just hates anything under 2000rpm... and really sounds like it wants to either quit, or come apart at idle.
