Jealous (The one in the background…yes, there’s a person in the background)

Do they have a track hotline? Weather’s looking iffy.

The deep pans I see listed on the interwebs show extra two quarts capacity…sounds like you’re not there yet. Also, make sure you have the dipstick tube fully seated (not sure if you had it out at all).

You only YOLO once…get in there!!!

Heck ya! I’ve always been scared by transmission re-builds, don’t know that I’ll ever get over it… :(

Sounds like I’m heading NW instead of SW, thanks for the heads up!!!

You may have already been on this line of thinking, but electric sending unit types will keep you from running a fuel line to the gauge…can even put the gauge in the car with you. Pick one with your intended pressure range to be able to read it better. Gauges - Fuel pressure Gauge Type -...

Ain’t the size of the camshaft, it’s how you use it :D

My stock suspension (with drag bars and 90/10 socks) was hitting 114, bias ply tires on front, but you’re not there very long…usually paying more attention to where the driver next to you is at to notice anything else. Good alignment and you should be fine :steering: May be a little different...

It’s gonna rip tater chip!!!

I don’t know if you’ll get it together as fast as Chris (he lives down the road from me about 40 minutes), but you’ll get er dun!!!

I’ll be out in the Reston area for work for the next few weeks; seeing if anyone here races at Sumerduck? Obviously can’t run my rental (insurance wouldn’t cover an oops), but would love to come check it out! Let me know!

Flex plate is important, yes. It transfers the energy from the crankshaft to the torque converter. It sounds like you’re looking to be at least double the original power level, which would justify the move to a SFI flex plate, even if you don’t need it to pass a track inspection. It’s pretty...

With 99.999999% certainty, yes.

They’re likely to flex with the added spring load and acceleration from the roller. Also, the ratios won’t get the listed lift figures from the cam. You’ll have to measure for push rods once together. And, you’re really going to want adjustable to get the preload right. Not trying to...

Absolutely, the rotating assembly needs to balanced, with the balancer, which you should get new. Take the flex plate (also new), rod bearings, wrist pins, locks and rings for the balancer too. I’d recommend a new set of rockers (PRW work I think?), and you may have to get a correction kit from...

Another vote for sniper. Heed their warnings for keeping the sniper wires (to sensors and such) away from ignition wires as well! I run mine with MSD distributor locked out and 6AL box. Also agree with the instant restart difficulty. I think it’s just a little too much fuel, gets the plugs wet...

Haha, yessir!!!

Less interference and visibility in the engine compartment, love it!

I like that idea (using the same point for the limiter). Yoink!

Worth the cost difference to me

Here are screen shots for over under comparison…Sorry if they’re grainy. These tests are cool to see, and I’m glad he went through all the work to set them up, but the “pay off” is disappointing without a wrap-up or some kind of final side X side (guess I’m spoiled by all the episodes of Engine...

Broke em out on the tree!!! :thumbsup:

Thanks for inserting the link! He didn’t say it in his intro (had to read comments), but this is the combo with the Trick Flow heads. Heck of a little street/strip motor!

Nice! Happy accidents are the best!!!

Checking with my body guy on this. Will PM you this evening!

PM coming your way

I don’t know, because I’ve never done it. Here’s some math to consider/make a judgment call from though: The air horns are 8.5” dia., which is approximately 26.7” circumference. At 0.5” clearance, that’s a surface area of roughly 13.3 sq. in. I don’t know your engine, but let’s say it’s a 408...

This setup looks a little cheaper if you’re wanting to try it out: Chrome Velocity Stack Air Cleaner Set of Two fits 4 BBL Carburetors | eBay I would agree that the filter and screen media may be restrictive. So, you could try pulling it to see if the velocity horns alone provide a benefit...

Falls in with the old expression, “dress for the job you want”..?
