    Ford H.D. Clutch or King Cobra kit?

    I'd personally like to try the spec but since I haven't yet, of the two you mentioned I have had both. On my last 89gt (306 w/ all boltons - basically a 335hp set up) I had the HD and sitting here in houston traffic really sucked honestly. On my 331 coupe I have the king cobra and it is much...

    trick flow stage 2 cam

    you might have to change to the 1.6 rockers but it would be worth it. just check the piston to valve clearances if you wanna try the 1.7's. or you could call trick flow and ask them. i have the stage 3 and trick flow recommends 1.6 rockers with it.

    horsepower predictions?

    my guess would be between 265 and 270 but that is depending upon your blah blah blah and whether or not you have headers. should definitely upgrade the cam to at least an e or b and do the headers if you dont have them.

    How do you feel about GT40 iron heads on a 347???

    yeah they will make pretty decent power down low and torque too, but up high is where they will fall off to good alu. headed motors on the street. like was mentioned above though, if he isnt happy, then down the road he can sell em and swap. I was in a similar position when i built my 331, but...

    331 VS. 347 for daily driver

    yeah the track heat is a good choice. the kit i got was the street fighter. it is a good kit. i also got the girdle and I recommend you do too. my compression is 10.18:1 with the probe pistons. good kit though, you will be happy with it. On a different note, I had to upgrade my springs...

    331 VS. 347 for daily driver

    if you are talking to me i got the chp 331 too. honestly though the street heat intake is going to be too small for the 331. call trick flow (330-630-1555) and ask their input. the street heat is similar to the regular cobra and gt40 intakes. the track heat is what you want IMO. like i...

    Inching closer...any tricks to break 300 RWHP?

    honestly, your numbers look about right to me. if you dont want to add boost or spray it, and would rather not pull the cam, or port the heads, or swap headers ( i kind of agree on this point) then you are kind of limiting yourself. I mean what else is there that you can do other than add a...

    331 VS. 347 for daily driver

    the 3 trick flows cams are: the stage 1 is 499/510 112 LSA Good idle, strong midrange power. Aftermarket intake, heads, and headers recommended. Requires modified mass airflow. Compression ratio: 9:1 to 10.5:1. stage 2 is 542/563 112 LSA Fair idle, good midrange power. 2,500 to 3,000...

    How far can you push a stock T5 Tranny

    Like they said above, it depends on how you have treated it all this time and what you plan on doing with it once you drop all the cash into the car. if it will primarily be at the track then yeah get a new tranny, but if you are only daily driving it then it should be ok until you can afford to...

    87-89 white face gauge owners..

    actually I am a big fan of the nr auto indiglo gauges (considering I was the one that talked neil the owner into making them for 87-89). for what its worth the 93 cobra white face gauges arent complete circles either. there for the nr auto arent that far off and after having the bbk/mac and...

    Tips and Pointers on Cobra Intake Install!

    the first time i did an intake install i used lots of RTV sealant and then since i wasnt sure how long to let it dry, i asked around. everyone said it should seal really quickly and i could start it right up by the time i was done torqueing it down. well the thing that i didnt realize was that...

    347 vs 351 which best for daily?

    chp has a 347e, which is emissions legal and supposedly good for 100,000 miles. there are pro and cons to both motors. both can be whatever you want it to be. both would be cool though. I decided that since I already had the 302 block I would do the 331, which I chose over the 347. now...

    331 or 347 stroker? pros and cons?

    hey mike, either would be good with boost. just make sure you go low compression with it. i love my 331 street fighter. call chp and get it right from the horses mouth on what would be better for you. i pretty much only drive my coupe 1 or 2 days a week now that I have an avalon to drive...

    331 or 347 stroker? pros and cons?

    i went with the 331 chp kit over their 347. streetability depends on the components you put on/in it. you could get a small cam or a custom and have it very streetable. depends on what you want it to do. i have the tfs stage 3 and it is very very lopey. plus streetable all depends on...
