    rim sizing?

    5.5" backspacing puts the wheels right up to the quad shocks. You can still fit several sheets of paper between the wheels and the quads at that point. If you havent already, you can also reverse the quad shocks if the big part is towards the back and make a little more room for wider tires. You...

    Retorque on the lower intake

    Believe it or not, if you re-torque the lower intake over and over again past the factory reccomended steps, it WILL pull the heads off the block over time and cause a head gasket failure. You will put an uneven load on the head gaskets and pull the top of the heads up off the block. DO NOT keep...

    Balancing M/T ET street radials

    I just bought some weld draglite 15x10's and the new Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials, and I tried balancing them on a dynamic balancer, and well that was a joke. After putting weights just about everywhere all around the rim, its still out of balance. My question is do you guys just not...

    Dyno Results - Have Questions

    If you get the 42's and a new MAF that's matched to the larger injectors, you no longer would need the MAF extender since the injectors have a wider operating range of flow and it wouldn't peg out the reading any more. Something is very wrong with your setup, because you should be getting almost...

    Project "take out 302, put in 306" PICTURES

    A main support divides the load between all the main caps instead of just some of them taking a lot of abuse and the other ones just hanging out and not doing much. It also prevents the caps from walking or twisting from an uneven load (clutch drop, powershifting, hard shifting, supercharger...

    Project "take out 302, put in 306" PICTURES

    Nice setup, looks just like a stock 92 down bottom end.... I have the same pistons, same rods too. Only thing I added was the nodular crank and the DSS thingy to make the caps not fall off and spin and stuff.... This is my old motor with the stock pistons and rods. I'm using the same block...

    Care to analyze these 1/4 mile runs?

    His shifter also moves from side to side in addition to the front to back. With near stock power levels, thats usually good for a tenth or 2

    Care to analyze these 1/4 mile runs?

    Right, stock stuff. Heads = stock late explorer 5.0. The P heads actually use the same size valves as E7 heads. They arent the biggest power gain. Cobra and early explorer heads have larger valves. As well as Ford Racing GT40 cast and GT40X aluminum heads. Porting of stock heads = marginal...

    Rim's

    lol good call

    Care to analyze these 1/4 mile runs?

    Personally, I say good job. Your intake, TB, and heads are all still stock stuff, you have no power adder, heavy a$$ rims, and probably no chip or dyno tune.... seems like you're right where you should be or better....

    afr 185s or ported e7s?

    E7's = way cheaper, but E7 = stock bigger valves are still real small ported until failure is still not as good as an aftermarket casting. For the money, get a junkyard cobra motor or 96 explorer motor for $300-500 and take the heads off that... the GT40's are still better than ported...

    Epping 7-13

    I was there and the track was great as usual.. the problem is between the seat and the steering wheel lol j/k I was running one of those new V6 altima's, bone stock.. ran a 14.74 (shifted nice) and a 14.66 (powershifted) with 2.2x 60' both runs... open diff and a 5 gear. Guess they arent all...

    What would work better??

    thats why I'm poor!

    What would work better??

    e cam and 1.6's maybe.... with the 1.72's there isnt much room to float or for timing chain stretch and I dont wonna run it that close to failure, I have enough other things to be worried about....

    What would work better??

    I have a set of ported polished gt40 cobra heads, 3 angle valve job, new springs and locks that I would maybe sell....

    ported gt40p's or unported twisted wedge

    the tw's are WAY better. the p's are detuned cobra heads made to be better on emissions and use stock size valves.... booo at least get the ford racing GT40X heads if you like that style, you wont even really get that much of a power gain with the p's.

    What would work better??

    B cam, 1.72 RR's and GT40 heads or F cam, 1.72 RR's and stock heads I'm poor and cant afford good heads and I have this stuff hanging around. I know for a fact that since my pistons are not fly cut, that the valves will hit if I run the big cam with the GT40 heads, so I can run more cam...
