    Another AFR Head

    When all is said and done, I'd like to have a 331 stroker with a blower on it. I've been speaking with the gentlemen at Brothers Performance and I was told that a "seasoned block", like mine, with a girdle on it should be able to handle what I would like to do. Initially I had planned on going...

    Another AFR Head

    I'm new to everything from the valve covers down so bear with me please. You're talking about Piston to Valve clearance, what exactly is getting in the way of what? Also, I've always liked Twisted Wedge heads, but I've heard numerous stories of how weak the valvetrain is on them, is there any...

    Another AFR Head

    So I've decided to go with some AFR 185 heads. Is there anything I need to check in my engine now before I do the swap? Any type of clearance issues I might come across? I have an Edelbrock Performer 5.0. I also plan to use an E303 cam. Anything I should replace while I'm in there...

    Post Intake Install Problems

    It definitely does not smell like coolant. It's white smoke only when I floor it.

    Post Intake Install Problems

    I'll take the upper intake off next chance I get and make sure everything is good. I've recently noticed what appears to smoke coming from my exhaust when I give it some fairly heavy throttle. It doesn't smell like burning oil or coolant. I've never smelled anything like this before, it's...

    Post Intake Install Problems

    This past weekend I installed an Edelbrock Performer 5.0 and a Ford Racing 65mm TB and I'm having a couple problems. I believe the timing is off and that is what the cause of the following problems are. First, there isn't as much power, it just seems to hesitate, also it sometimes struggles to...

    PROJECT TIME

    Today I received my Performer 5.0 and Ford Racing throttle body. Any tips you guys could give me for when I do the swap? I've read the instructions a dozen times and according to everything I've read I'm good to go. BUT, this is rarely the case, is there anything I should be aware of that...

    3.5" too big?

    It's hard to decide on which exhaust to go with without hearing them. $500 for the SLP kit is a lot, but I guess I could track down some different tips. The MAC kits looks good too. I have the Flowmaster 40's installed right now and it sounds good, but I just want something different. I've...

    3.5" too big?

    How does your MAC exhaust sound? Is it entirely stainless? How was the fitment?

    3.5" too big?

    Any chance you could put up some pictures of it? I'd like to see it from the side standing back so you can see the whole car as well as straight from the back.

    3.5" too big?

    I've been thinking about going with the SLP Loudmouth exhaust for a long time now and my only reservation is that the tips might look weird because they're so big. Anyone else think this? Anybody have any pictures of the cat-back on an SN95? Perhaps they sell different sized exhaust tips...

    My tach needle fluctuates?????

    I don't know if I have the same issue or what, but my tach needle seems to just get stuck sometimes. Even at idle it will jump around and get stuck. It's especially annoying when I'm at WOT and it just stops in the middle of it. I was told it's just a malfunction of the tach unit and that...

    Yet Another Noise...

    Ever since I had my rearend installed, my car has been making this random metal-on-metal squeal sound coming from the rear passenger-side wheel area. There isn't any one thing that will cause the sound to happen, but I have noticed that it will do it if I floor it, and when I go up the incline...

    One more thing I forgot to mention is that if it's late at night and you're feeling the munchies coming on, drink a protein shake. The protein will actually cause your muscles to heat up and burn fat while you're sleeping.

    So...I Joined A Gym...

    If you're going to bother doing it at all, you might as well do it right. You can lift and run as much as you want, but without the proper diet you're only going to reach 50% of your potential. Obviously cut down on fats, etc. and take in more protein. A good rule of thumb to follow is to...
