    Installed the 75mm TB

    I'm still trying to figure out how a 90-degree bend is better than a 45-degree one for making power??? And ZenBoy...you are going by what is being said in this thread to base your decision on getting a bigger TB? I don't see any results yet...just be weary of what people are saying is all...

    Installed the 75mm TB

    I guess when it comes down to it, dyno numbers really don't mean much without real world track times backing them. This has been proven most admirably by Paul (KillerCanary) who despite not hitting 300rwhp, has set the bar for the rest of us. It also goes to show that it is not peak numbers...

    Installed the 75mm TB

    I never believe Internet myths...nor what people say. I follow results from what I've seen with my own eyes. Sounds almost like your going by what people are "saying" on other boards. If they have proven results, then that is another thing. I distinctly remember an article from MM&FF that...

    Installed the 75mm TB

    Jake...why did you go 75mm? IMO that is too big for a NA 302 and there have been dyno tests proven that you don't really gain any going bigger than what you need and it can actually lose low-end. Also...I'd be weary on running the filter open like that with the headlight removed. You might...

    Ordering odds and ends for my H/C/I swap, got a

    Obviously...you have 163,000 miles. With WhiteDevil's mileage, it is kindof a preference. Good idea to get them, but not really needed like they were in your case. If he has the money, do it.

    Ordering odds and ends for my H/C/I swap, got a

    I had 65,000 miles on my car when I did H/C/I. I asked Ed Curtis when I was talking to him on the phone about new lifter since if he said yes, I would've ordred them from him as well along with all the other crap I was buying from him. Point is, he had reason to tell me to buy them from him...

    Got back from the 1/4 mile track for the first time ever...

    Geez Jake....30+ runs? That's pretty impressive. I think the most runs I got in ever at one track outing was like 17. Out of all these runs...was the 110.0 mph your highest? And what was your best 1/8th mph??? What is track elevation and what was the weather like that day? Just trying to...

    Anyone use a SPEC clutch?

    What facts? I said the throwout bearing sucks and it does. I am well aware that the throwout bearings are Timken products and that SPEC changed their design after the initial TOB's they used were getting many complaints. In fact...I spoke with a tech at SPEC (Star) for about 20 minutes...

    Anyone use a SPEC clutch?

    SPEC 2 here...grabs like a mofo and I love it. Agree about the TOB though...it sucks.

    Got back from the 1/4 mile track for the first time ever...

    Nice times Jake....you ran just about what I was expecting you to run. The mph is there, just gotta get more seat time. I'm kindof in the same boat you are...going to be interesting to see how we both can learn our new combo's and progress. Our 1/8th mph is the same as I was in the 86mph...

    STREET RACING

    I usually don't ever talk about this...but a few years ago I got busted street racing. I had done it in "organized" settings and never had a problem (some close calls though). Then one day I just happen to catch a light with a fellow stanger, 94-95 in fact, and it looked like and sounded...

    Went to the track last night -- Thursday

    Tom: I question the accuracy of your shift point calculator. You showed me that same excel spreadsheet based on my dyno graph and not only do I doubt shifting into 4th at such a low RPM which my horsepower is still climbing (I am aware shift points are heavily influenced by the torque...

    Went to the track last night -- Thursday

    Don't you have a TFS H/C/I setup? If so...then something is absolutely killing your power. I ran 13.6 @ 100 on stock heads and cam. You should be at a minimum five-tenths and 5 mph faster than what you are running now. Run down your whole combo for us, tell us where you are shifting at...

    12.99 in sight! ...or is it?

    Make that 2.1 60' a 1.9 60' and you got your 12.9...the mph is there easy, just need to hook. Get some drag radials and get 'er done.

    hey Paul(Killer)....read this

    I think the main reason that Paul's car and its performance surprises so many people is that we have so many BAD combo's out there and more importantly, POOR drivers who don't have a clue to drive. This is not to take away from Paul's accomplishments in any way, but go to an NMRA race and...

    Wow, what hood is gonna clear this intake?? PICS

    Building New Combo (Need Advice)

    If your car has lower miles and has not been raced hard, spending $100+ on a new set of lifters is probably a waste of money. Pro-M 80 - Don't think you can even get the 77 anymore and it is more $$$ for same performance 24lbs - Shoudl be plenty. If you are planning more in the future...

    These are carbon fiber headlight covers....kindof give it that "smoked" appearance but for much less $$$ I've always liked them and received compliments.

    Got the car dyno'ed today...

    I still say its crap. I understand the premise you are debating upon. In fact, I'm not even disagreeing with your facts. What I disagree with is you saying STD is the way to go..that is an opinon. If you prefer to use STD, feel free...but to compare apples to apples, usinig a similar SAE...
