    Ok, put on the new converters...car still booms between 2000-2500..idea..

    I was thinking the same. When I used to work in a shop, most of the big luxury cars had small resonators on them. Back in the RWD days, with 400+ CI engines. They looked no more restrictive than a glasspack style muffler. I remember the resonators were not cheap, and people would frequently...

    What does everyone do for a living and for fun?

    Back in the states, I supervise an Artillery and Truck maintenance shop fulltime, near Rock Island, Illinois. Currently, I'm working at what basically amounts to a truck stop on the Iraq-Kuwait border. I'm a Chief Warrant Officer Three. For fun, I have the stang of course. Using my...

    HP guess time

    What Grady said. We've seen very similar combos do well over 300. Don't quote me, but I am almost sure I've read Ed Curtis posts on Hardcore where he lists around 330-340RWHP as the number his streetable AFR185 combos routinely hit.

    MAF Flow Chart

    "Even if by accident you ended up with inj's & maf caled to their same size, you did good" Thanks as always Grady. Actually I had a set of 24 injectors purchased, but then I ran across the Pro-M80 MAF calced for 30# and the associated tubing to install it. New in box for $150 shipped...

    MAF Flow Chart

    That is good to hear. When I realized what I had done, I thought my good deal just went away. One more question, and a yes or no answer will suffice at this time. Until I get my Tweecer, the long version will not likely be comprehended. :) I'm sure I could get a copy of someone else's...

    MAF Flow Chart

    Grady I am still collecting parts for a combo as shown in my signature. When I assemble, I will have a Tweecer R/T and wideband. Obviously (or at least I thought) I can't just plug in this Pro-M with 30s and go. I thought I needed to tell the Tweecer what I was installing. (Flow data for...

    MAF Flow Chart

    Afraid I've screwed up guys, hopefully it's not too big of a tragedy. Long story short, I was dealing on several used MAFs at the same time and accidentally bought one WITHOUT a flowsheet. I purchased about a 4 years old, still new in the box, Pro-M 80R calibrated for 30# injectors. Am I...

    Tri-Ax, Pro 5.0 - Who has owned both?

    Another MGW fan. Very precise. The centering spring is just right. I have never used a Pro 5.0 though.

    HELP...Nitrous question!!

    Have you looked on edelbrock.com for instructions? I don't have an Edelbrock kit, but many dry kits use two solenoids (not including the purge). The solenoids can be routed in series. Your nitrous activation toggle switch may open the first one. The second can be used as a safety. You can...

    estimated howmuch power?

    Yes, if I implied otherwise it was not my intent. You probably don't recall it, but I attempted to hire you to port a Cobra for bone stock E7s when I first bought my Stang. And you declined to waste my money. Which I appreciate.

    what brand batt do you like??

    The 11 year old factory Motorcraft battery in my 95 F150 still works fine and I live in Iowa so we have real winters. Second time I've had a Ford battery last over 10 years. Awful hard not to like a battery like that. I was a big fan of Interstate Megatron, but they don't seem to last...

    estimated howmuch power?

    Send a PM to TMOSS on this forum. He does them for about $110 + shipping. He has done many, many intakes for forum members. If anyone was ever not satified, I'm not aware of it. I have heard some shops get $250ish to do a lower. Best part about TMOSS is he won't just port an intake to take...

    WANTED: Polishing Guru's

    My polishing experience is on Stainless, so take this FWIW. If you are struggling with scratches, and not polishing swirl, then you are going to have to hit it with the sandpaper again. I'm with Zero Signal though. I wouldn't go back to 320 unless necessary. Maybe 400 or 600 will get it out...

    What starters are u guys running on 10+:1 compression motors?

    That's a good point Mike. It pays to put a VOM on the starter when in doubt. I've lost a few starters to voltage drop from truck mounted batteries too. Combine a trunk mount with a set of poorly fitting headers that warm up the starter and you got real trouble. It can be deceptive, because...

    What starters are u guys running on 10+:1 compression motors?

    It certainly could, but it's never that simple of course. A lot of guys run enough additional overlap on the cam to nullify any static compression ratio increase from smaller chambered heads. Heat soak is the leading cause of death of starters on performance engines IMHO, rather than...

    Which roller rockers clear SN95 valve covers.

    Thanks Grady, I'll try some different angles on my searches. I have read lots on the subject. But most involved ball peen hammers, grinders and stuff like that. Didn't think to search for fox covers. Just hoping for a couple options that go under the Fox covers. I know Dave said his intake...

    Fox valve cover fits under a Performer Intake?

    guys with fti/custom cams and stock botom ends....come here

    Kyle I'd listen real close to what GRN92LX is saying. Unless you put the combo back darn close to what it's designed for, your custom cam benefit goes right out the window. It could easily run worse than an OTS cam guess. Be no benefit to have others FTI/AFR cam specs since you have an...

    i killed the drone

    Living in the Midwest, I gotta show some respect for any repair that involves chicken wire. :hail2: Need to modernize though. Sure you can't work some nylon tie straps and RTV into it somehow? :D J/K, I too am curious how much flow restriction has been added with this mod. I've...

    Which roller rockers clear SN95 valve covers.

    Which roller rockers clear SN95 valve covers? Looking for a list of stud roller rockers that will clear our stock SN95 valve covers without modification of valve cover or the rocker arm, though I realize that may be asking too much. I need a 1.6 rocker that clears with a .550 lift. (at the...
