[blksn955.o]

do it with three crushed vertabra (compound fracture), 15hrs before a set of college finals :damnit: . Had to have the car running to make the final :damnit:




got a B avg. that set of finals

Would a tfs stage 1 cam work good ??

i Have gt40p's. I used BBK shorties that i had, and they work fine. I also installed a trickflow valve spring kit, with my crane 2031.

I dont think the GT-40Ps have thermactor holes and the stock thermactor tubes wont bont on anyway because they stick out too far on the sides.

i am curious as to how that trick flow stage 1 cam would work out myself, with a set of gt-40"p" 's

 

[blksn955.o]

I ran my reg. gt40s (unported) with a stock ported lower (tmoss) and the tfs1 cam. untuned I ran a 13.5 @102. My 60ft was kinda crappy at like 2.2-2.3 (I avg. a 2.0). The power felt real good and felt like a 50shot at 2,500rpm.

looked on summit for the valve springs but there is .. Dual, 1.460 in. Outside Diameter; Single, 1.250 in. Outside Diameter, 1.560 in. Outside Diameter; and Dual, 1.640 in. Outside Diameter... which did you use with the crane 2031? im considering going that route even though i can get a tfss1 for 100$. also did u get just the springs or the spring/retainer kit? Thanks!

I plan on calling jegs for those msd wires w/ 90deg. boots but What Spark Plugs will i need? Thanks!

Alssooo.. the ARP head bolts.. hex-head or 12pt head? or does it matter? which is better? THANKS again!

i ran the autolite 764's and had no poblems with them. they are the standard replacement plug for those heads.

whell, i just looked in summit's mag and found the trickflow spring kit for stock type heads. It included the springs, retainers, shims, valve seals, etc. A very nice kit, i have had my car to redline (it showed 7,000 on the tach but thats probably off a bit)a couple of times by mistake and they never caused me any problems...and as far as the cam, i cant tell ya, ive only had this one, but i happy with it.....in NA form, my intake was what was holding me back. The explorer lower sucks.

 

[gt96stanggt]

one word of advice, if u have a set of aftermarket shorty headers and really dont want to part with them, u can reuse them as long asu buy a set of plug wires with 90 degree sprak plug boots. i bought a set from msd and have never had any problems at all with them.

When i called they said that the MSD'd that i got have adjustable boots that you can bend however u need.. will those work?

blksn955.o, your sig shows "thumper ported gt40heads". What did that cost you and how much did you gain?

 

[blksn955.o]

The cost would have been around $550-600 but (in great thanks to thumper) he did mine for free .

I have only been to the track and dyno one time and I was still running into some issues. On the dyno I was floating my valves when my lifters pumped up, and then I found that I was running on 6cyl. at the track from an elec. issue. The connections have been undone some many times (about 7+now) that they needed some di-electric put on them. So far so good, after about 1,000 miles the plugs are all even in wear.

I am planning on going to Gateway Int. Raceway either this coming Tues. or the next Tues. for the T&T.

 

[gt96stanggt]

The nice delivery man brought me my msd wires, my autolite plugs and my heads today

Subscribing for future reference!

 

[gt96stanggt]

Are 1.7's stock on the gt40p's?

 

[scarless]

No, 1.6's.

 

[gt96stanggt]

Thought so..

 

[gt96stanggt]

Anyone got some rockers for sale ??

Also i was wondering what kind of numbers you think i'll be putting down .both hp/tq and track times.
