    Hot running Turd

    ya the radiator is the next suspect... I wonder about a head gasket sometimes but it doesn't appear that the cooling system is getting pressurized or anything:shrug:

    Hot running Turd

    yes, took the chip out... made things way worse. With the chip the high speed is on at pretty much all times, without the chip only the low speed is on at 208*, it spent the whole time in the middle of the gauge and easily spiked into the "M" range :nono:. I'm sure the pulleys have something...

    Hot running Turd

    brought my car to a open track even for some driving (ThunderHill) today and I found out the marginal cooling system is worse than I thought, about 15 minutes into a run it was time to get off because it was HOT.... This car has always made heat (no power though :rolleyes: ), seems to get hot...

    What's it take to crack 13s

    Bullit - solid advice except for the off-road pipe, guys all my mods HAVE to be CARB legal it's a california car and I'm not going to do anything shady to get it smogged I know theres some to be gained in the 60 ft but the MPH is just low period, it takes at least 97 to be solidly in the 13s...

    What's it take to crack 13s

    Or at least 97-98 MPH in the 1/4 with a stock motor with bolt-ons? Can it be done with stock heads and cam? The first 1/4 mile performance of my car was dismal, managed a [email protected]. Current combo is 150k short block, rebuilt stock heads (recently) Jet Chip Crank and waterpump...

    Which intake, mostly stock engine

    i'd like to go with the typhoon but it has no CARB # so :notnice:. What times are you guys running with the cobra intake or TFS?

    Which intake, mostly stock engine

    well no offense to T-moss but theres alot more to intakes than just flow numbers and smoothing transitions. Things like runner cross section, runner length, plenum volume etc all have a great effect on accoustical characteristics. So while I don't doubt he can get more flow out of a stock...

    1/4 mile woes... :notnice:

    well your MPH is kinda low, i'd say mid 14s capable with traction:(

    Professional products balancer

    that's actually a good question. The spacer is .950 thick and the stock bolts are about 1" long so you'd think a 2" bolt would work but it doesnt (found that out today :mad:). The weight on the PP balancer is on the inside behind 2 of the bolt holes and the 2"ers will bottom out. I think...

    Anyone make the switch to synthetic?

    more friction modifiers probably, but not as good as the "good" stuff. Just like everything else the EPA is taking any and all good chemicals out of everything. I agree with the temperature protection though, main reason I run 15-50 mobil 1 in my twin turbo car:nice:

    Anyone make the switch to synthetic?

    well not that it matters much but also 15W-50 has additives the thinner stuff doesn't, independant tests have shown some moly and other nice stuff. The older muscle car crowd has known about it for a while, regular oils no longer have the "good" friction additives because of emissions etc and...
