OH CRAP

[86bluecobra]

ok so i phone the parts guy to order lug nuts for my drag lites and some how i ordered vic jr heads. Wife doesn't know. ok so that this is tech what kinda power gains would one expect on my current combo with the head swap? my wife is going to shoot me. Off with the old 165 cc intake runner holley heads on with the 210 cc intake runnered edelbrocks .

So you're going from E7s to Jr.s? Should be a decent gain if the rest of your induction will support it. More with a custom grind (of course).

[Bad92GT]

I have no idea on the gains but I'm afraid for you when your wife finds out. Might want to buy her some flowers and remind her how much you lover her.

maby you should phone the parts guy and ask if he can costom build you a dog house so you have somewhere to sleep when she finds out lol.

Na just tell her they were a wicked deal and you will be able to sell youe E7's for (cough) 3/4 of what the other ones cost (yea right)

lol oh dear well i let her know and she didn't kill me. but she did say i owe her big time. my old holley heads are going on my 302 in my pick up. should give it a serious kit in the pants.

just tell your wife she can't shop anymore if you can't spend money on your stang

women shop at malls
men drink beer and mod cars

 

[86bluecobra]

its not that she can't shop its that i spent all the money so there is no money for her to shop.

Nothing wrong with that! Women think they all need lots of shoes to survive (for instance). I say they can get to the sink, stove, and washing machine just fine with no shoes at all! You did her a service by spending that money. hehe

how did you go from ordering lugs to a 1000+$ set of heads??? sounds like something i would have done.

thats what i was asking myself after i hung up. the nuts thing is i still need to buy a vic jr intake and roller rockers. see i want to continue to beat my bro inlaws dodge dart. he has a 440 with edelbrock heads and a 200hp shot of juice. so far i have been on top but when this new motor he is building comes together i won't be so i must stay ahead of him.

 

[88stangmangt]

well you got a couple aheads on him now.....now what do you have done to hang on with a 440 on a 200 shot???

 

[86bluecobra]

well so far he hasn't run the juice. and i havent ran his new 440. just his old one. he ran a 12.9 N/A. so my 11.5 on juice is still a better slip. plus i had a passenger. i don't think my current combo is going to be up to the task of keeping up to him. thats why the intake and head upgrade. if i still can't beat him then i'm going to buy a 408 short block. i want to stay ahead of him.

 

[88stangmangt]

you want my opinion junk the bottle and go with a t3/t4 turbo and i dont see you haveing a problem at all....plus you got to think a dart isnt exactly light in the first place (full steel muscle car) with a heavy BB.

now dont you think you could catch him with that....thats mine by the way.........

 

[bigcat]

the dart is the lightest mopar......

 

[86bluecobra]

actually he won't be all that much heavier then me. he figures 3000 lbs car when it is all said and done. i wiegh 2994lbs. woot i have him by 6 lbs. d'oh he still has a BB.

 

[86bluecobra]

Well i picked up my Vic jr heads. so tear down of my engine begins on tuesday. I can't wait. I think i need to order the full rollerized rockers. and probably different push rods. i'll phone edelbrock and see what length they recomend.
