I like the grill. I love the scoop.

I don’t think so. The Engle lifters had an aluminum pushrod seat and they did not have captive links like that. PRH called it early. That’s a Comp lifter. Look at the link bars. Comp for sure.

Blow me. What difference does it make if it’s a /6 or a Pro Stocker?? Doing stupid **** is still stupid ****. I’m not bragging but evidently I intimidate people like you who prefer garbage parts and bad tuning procedures.

Yeah, that’s not good. It’s hard to see in the picture but that almost looks like a sintered bronze or oilite bushing material. Not saying it is because it may be the picture but usually brass doesn’t make chips like that. At least not the brass they use for those gears. If this is a...

lol. Post of the month.

I’d explain to you why you use seat to seat timing but you can’t learn. And of course if your god Vizard doesn’t say it you don’t know it. I wouldn’t buy another DV book with a gun to my head. Have you ever even seen The Horsepower Chain? That one book exposes a lot of garbage put out by...

I’d be real careful blocking the heat off for any reason. I say that because todays fuel does not vaporize worth a crap and without the heat from the crossover you’ll need to make a bunch of tuning and carb changes. I’d try to get the rivets out first and if they don’t come out then look at...

Yeah, I’d want to see the parts list and all the numbers ofc the dyno for that.

I know most shops around here are at least 110 bucks an hour. Some of them are at 130/hr and it’s going up almost by the week. The cost of chemicals is going berserk and that’s part of what’s driving the hourly rate. And it won’t be going down any time soon unless the entire floor of the...

Not sure about that so I don’t know. That area where the exhaust crosses over gets extremely hot. I mean real hot. Any oil that hits it when it’s hot Coke’s off. If you are even half careful you should be able to get them out. 99% of the time it’s pretty easy. I have had a couple of times...

Ok, if you go back to speedtalk and on the page that lists all the forums you click on the announcements tab. Right at the top of that page is a button that says “limited supply of Don Terrell’s horsepower chain”. click on that and the instructions to get one is there. They are only 40 bucks...

I’ll check on it for you. I can’t remember exactly what you have to do to get one.

If you have an engine you want a cam spec’d for let me know bore, stroke, rod length, compression ratio and at what RPM you want to make peak torque and I’ll run some numbers. I can’t tell you exactly what the numbers might be because it sometimes throws out some crazy numbers.

Get that thing off of there and clean the hell out of it. Get under the rivet with a small chisel but it can’t have a sharp end. If it does you’ll knock the head off of it. Gently tap in the chisel with a small hammer. Not some 32 ounce framing hammer but an 8 ounce ball peen hammer works...

There is a reason Systems 1 put a sleeve inside their filter. To stop **** like that. It’s hard to see in the picture but is there a screen or something inside to keep it from collapsing? If it’s a race car and you have a 40 micron screen it will filter everything you need. I know this. A...
