Why not?

I do think that’s the overall best way to do it for most applications. Of course, the same spec grind can be ground for a huge and different application like a drag car for example

When DV mentions his idea of best, it’s the best over the entire curve, not best / most HP.

Depends on the crowd. In my early street racing days, liar, liar, rear tires on fire! Since I’m not street racing. Truth be told.

Oh you mean those stock LS blocks with the bores machined off center? Yuuuuuuuuuup!

Just makes it easier, right.

Oh yea man! 1,000 then was big bucks NO DOUBT!

Or something about them that has you looking at the dark shadow around them or they’re just exuding a slimy skin or demeanor.

This is exactly why I left that part of back alley racing behind. It got way too stupid and nasty. I don’t need this in my life. I never raced for money ether. To dang broke to bet on it much less the lier in the other lane. I couldn’t afford to go fast enough to compete with the crowd. Like...

My old county is 22 miles east to west, 23 miles north to south, it has a population of 1.385 million, the next county east is Suffolk with 1.525 million but more than double the land area, to the west is Queens county NYC, population of 2.361 million. Much of the racing happened in Nassau...

I like an honest guy. I like to race for bragging rights. Not that it was a huge deal for a lot of guys I knew. In reality, it was just for fun. This is what I enjoy. Just having fun. I run my best and if I get beat, maybe I’ll ask for a rematch. If I can’t beat you, no worries. It normally...

It was getting there when I quit. The mouth running! Holy Mac & Cheese! Some guys tried to be smart asses. Ether you show/prove to me you don’t have N02 or your admitting you have it. (What?! Really?! Oh Lord! Dude! Just **** off.) Where I was, the amount of cars and people, you could just go...

Now that’s funny and I’ve done that before. Screw them! Give them a complex! Make’em feel stupid. I was riding with a buddy that actually had a 318 worked up via the MP Bible for just a basic street ride. 13 second zone set up. We were cruising the Blvd. and a 94/96 styled Camaro challenged...

Exactly this ^^^^^ The problem with street racing is everyone is a lier. Even if it is the truth, it’s assumed a lie because 97% of everyone else is a lier. Before you line up to race for the money, they want to know everything. It’s really none of there biz. I just admit (or claim in there...

4 digit HP is possible on old iron with turbos. A turbo that adds more pressure as the rpm goes up is easier on parts than a NA engine or a N02 hit. As always, the ability to go fast is dictated by the thickness of your wallet. The combo of a big engine in a light car is the first basic...

The longer I’m alive, the more I realize the less I actually know. Crap! Did I just quote my Mom from 45 years ago?

Yeaaaaa, that about sums it up. The 318 of this thread will do well with just a small cam, 4bbl. & headers. A little gear helps, but not realllllly needed. Nor extra converter stall. I’d install a cam of 218@050 and call it good, run high 13’s with 3.55’s. Yep! Done that. It was good. I also did...

Typical for the 318 hater who thinks his **** is the best and only way to build a streetee engine. After all being 71 means you know everything.

Normally I’d razz ya a bit here calling you a 318 hater, but yea, with an inexpensive 5.9, instead, miles ahead. First intelligent thing you said in months.

Oh, the sound is the mufflers job. The camshaft will produce the rhythm.

Show me the specs on it

OP, This ^^^^^^^ Though AJ makes an excellent point. If your engine was a 10-1 - 10.5-1 ratio, the cam in a 110 would be it. The problem is your low compression and stock tiny valve cylinder heads. This is going to kill it and in combination with the cam sizes you listed, your low end torque...

If you want Cadillac quite, get a Caddy muffler. Best after market option is the DynoMax Quiteflow. Use the longest muffler possible as the longer it is, the more sound deadening it will have.

The Green Brick I think it was.

This section will do. Small block would work. MoPar performance issues would also work. Leave it here. What’s done is done and I s all good IMO. Thanks Toolmanmike!

This is in web sites and suggestions. Super wrong place for this topic. A MOD will be along shortly and mo e it to the proper place for questions of this caliper. (LOL! See what I did there? No, nevermind, it’s been a long day for me. Humor fail…) To answer your question, everything should...

This crap annoys me.

Yep! Sometimes a manufacturer will spec an ohm resistance for there gauge. It doesn’t make sense to us but for them, you have to purchase there material so they make the money of everything. This way you just can’t run out and grab a generic or manufactures sending unit and be back up and...

He often writes and asserts convoluted ideas and what he thinks are facts. He is a keyboard warrior and thinks he knows what he’s talking about. The only person I put on ignore multiple times because I get tired of his ridiculous idiotic statements. I could spend all day correcting him over and...

Yeaaaaa, I own one. (E body)
