    Question on O-ringed heads

    Ok, I'm finally going to get around to doing h/c/i in a month or so. I'm gonna go with the trick flow package and get O-ringed heads. So my question is, do you have to/is it necessary/or even possible to also O-ring the block?? I'm still undecided as to whether or not I'm going to do a...

    Magnaflow Cat-back Pictures

    94SC50, what did you hate about them? I have flowmasters right now and can't stand them. So I've been looking at straight through designs to match my x-pipe. Still can't decide though. I just noticed your making almost 400rwhp with stock heads and cam, that's pretty impressive. Are...

    Can anyone recommend a "free shipping", good price Steeda site?

    Hmm, I thought there was something wrong with my CC plates. I started hearing a poping noise at slow speed when I would turn almost to the stops. So I guess that's normal then? Are there any negative effects to the popping sounds??

    VENT : I can't stand this shop sometimes

    You must live across the street from the shop if he's telling you it won't be ready when you get there because he has to replace the pcv valve and set the timing. right there you know he's lying, you can do both in under 10 minutes and that's if you take a piss break and a smoke break in the...

    THE FUNNY AND THE WEIRD THINGS WE DO THAT LET US KNOW YOU LOVE YOUR CAR...

    My car gets washed after everytime it rains, which in Pittsburgh, is usually 5 times a week. I wash my car by hand in winter as long as it's over 32 degrees outside. It usually takes me about 2 hours to wash my car, since I end up polishing the wheels, vinylexing the interior, cleaning the...

    331 Qs & Canton Oil pan / vert Qs

    I do have smog inspection, so you're right that'd be an issue. You raise a lot of good points and you're beginning to sway my opinion. So I might just hold off on it. I still need to find out more info about it. The fact that it is only a stock block does bother me. If I decide to pass on...

    331 Qs & Canton Oil pan / vert Qs

    So even if the heads are the newer aluminum ones, would you still consider it a weaker combo? Are the newer heads with the stage 2 a better setup? I really don't know a whole lot about trick flow. I'm going to try and call the guy later this afternoon to get all the details. Thanks a lot...

    331 Qs & Canton Oil pan / vert Qs

    No I'm not planning on a 200 shot. The guy that built it was telling me that's what it was built for, but I pretty much figured it would split the block. What do you think would be the largest shot I could safely run? A girdled block can handle what 500-550 at the crank? or is that too...

    331 Qs & Canton Oil pan / vert Qs

    I need opinions. I might/do have a chance at buying a brand new (never left the engine stand)built 331 for 6k-ish. It was built buy a local shop for a customer and now the shop has it (long story). Just wondering if you think it's a good deal and what power I can expect to produce. Here...

    Painted Interior Pieces Done (sorta)..JR, ZACH??

    I think it looks pretty good :nice: I've always wondered what painted pieces would look like with tan interior. I'd like to do something similar, but with a black car and tan interior, can't really decide on a color.

    Would a stalker nose on my car look stupid w/o the g/f's??

    I've found a stalker rear that will fit your round tail pipes. The only down side is it's fiberglass. I don't know the quality of the piece either. here's the link www.asylumms.com Here's a link to a corral post with pics of a car using that bumper, just scroll down on the first page...
