Hello all, I'm looking to offload my torqstorm supercharger kit. This is a base kit, means it does NOT come with a carburetor. I ran this supercharger for one season. Then decided I want more oomph and went to a turbo setup. I do not have the original spacers that came with the kit for the...

RIP torque converter. Anyone have any good recommendations for a turbo car?

Well hot damn.. I was selected to participate in their drag race... I guess we'll see how bad I get spanked in small tire. Woo

Well, as much as I like the whistle and whoosh of the torqstorm. I wanted more than 6-7psi. So I did something. Magnum headers and some left over pipe from one of my old 2 1/2" exhaust kits, I made myself a turbski kit. Now the hater pipe is going to be temporary, I think after everything...

I guess 20% slippage on the big end is a bit much. Time for some hygard, maybe it will tighten it up some till I can get another one.

It's that time of year. First test n tune locally is apr 9. I made some changes to the car. What do you guys think it will run? Previous setup ran 11.21@119.6 naturally aspirated at 6800ish DA and 10.62@127 letting off about a hundred foot before the beams, with "100" jets on an NX gemini...

Well I just got my torqstorm, so I figured I would post it's journey. First off it's going on a 408 in my 73 dart. This 408 was built for a little spray. Does not have a "turbo" cam and is 11.7:1 compression. This is not a daily driver. I am also converting everything to e85 to help with any...

So I'm not sure, I might be needing new front shocks? Been trying to get my 60fts down best I can get is 1.56. Or maybe Another converter? This one is new, but runs the same as the old dynamic I have. This is only only starting line video I have. What do you guys think? Front suspension -...

Well, the other thread was derailed majorly. So.. Since there isn't a lot of nitrous setups shown on here. I figured we can start a new thread so people can show their setups and how they work. Here is my setup. I haven't ran it yet. I have dry tested everything and tested all the outputs and...

So, SLR. How much is too much? Currently mine is sitting at 11.91. which would explain why it's hard to get the car to hook properly. So what is a good SLR?

So I've finally got to hit the track this year. Previous best run last year with some issues was 11.70@113 I think around 5800ft da that day. After some test passes and playing with timing before I ran out of tnt time. 11.57@117.8 at 7000ft da 1.64 60ft 7.38 @93.6 Shifting at 7000rpm...

So, I have an idea. It might be a bad one. But then it might be a really fun one. I've been toying with the idea of building a turbo kit for a high compression stroker. (12.2:1) Current engine specs Magnum block Forged pistons Scat rods Scat Crank Trickflow 190 Heads Howards solid roller...

Just can't get this thing to hook well. With the previous combo and 3.55's it was no big deal, 12.4's at altitude was pretty damn consistent. This years best run so far:Base elevation 4,000ft - DA during run 7859ft 60ft - 1.599 330ft - 4.74 1/8 - 7.423@91.36 1000 - 9.753 1/4 - 11.725 @ 114.15...

Hello ladies and gents, I figured I would post a build thread about the girlfriends new car. Her mom and stepdad knew a guy in Salt Lake city that happened to have a duster, they also knew she wanted a car. So they bought her the duster! Awesome right? So we made the trek from Reno NV to Salt...

Hello Ladies and Gents. I'm trying to determine whether or not I have a Lifter bleed down or pump up issue. I believe it's bleed down. Now my engine block is a blueprint 408 short block (Roller block). To get everything up and running with my Lunati 60413 cam, I used stock roller lifters. I...

hey folks. In the next couple of months I'll be pulling the new stroker to fix what I believe is an oil plug leak. While it's out, I wanted to upgrade the cam. Right now engine is 410, 9.9:1 w/ .028 head gaskets. Air gap intake - possible tunnel ram in future Procomp heads, 2.02/1.60 - light...

I have an oil leak I have been battling. Magnum block 5.9 408 blueprint short block. At first it was a leak from the rear main. I have replaced the rear main seal twice. This last time I even installed a new oil pan and new gaskets since the other one didn't look to healthy. I have nipped all...

Has anyone had a Torsion Bar adjuster break while driving down the street? My passenger side just made a wicked pop. Luckily I was basically pulling into my driveway. The threads seem to have stripped out of the block itself, found the bolt on the ground and it is otherwise unharmed. I assume...

Hey folks. This is gonna be another episode of what will it run. Honestly I'm curious about your opinions on a potential combination. 1973 Dodge Dart Swinger - 3300lbs? (just a guess haven't weighed it yet) - subframe connectors will also be added. Engine - 360 - 4.060 bore (maybe - still...

My neighbors are hilarious. I bought a house a few months ago and my Neighbors are retarded. There is in easement on my property to allow them into their landlocked property. But these people would park on it right in front of my "driveway" and make it a pain in the arse to move my truck. So I...

hahahahah... there's a bunch more too.. warning there is some foul language. Mr T vs Mr Rogers. Epic Rap Battles of History #13 - YouTube

Ok. I have recently rebuilt the 360 that was in my dart. Got it all put together with the correct clearances and such, broke the cam in and have been driving it off and on for the last few weeks. But.... The engine is vibrating, when it didn't before. All I did was new...

Hey there people. I had a question about some KB190 pistons. I am planning on installing a set in my 360 .040, I was interested to know if there needs to be any machine work done to the pistons or the heads for them to work properly? Being a quench style and all. Or would it be easier to...

I hate the DMV... No.. I LOATHE the DMV. All their rules and fee's and fine's is all just bullsh!t. Last year I got my '73 dart registered. It's bad enough that I still have to pass emissions for a '73, but when I go to the DMV to get the vin inspection for a new title they wrote the...

Ok. So I've been looking for a good set of valve springs to run with an xe268 cam for my magnum head swap. I am aware that I can use the R/T springs with the 2.2l retainers and achieve my goal. But the price for new R/T springs is expensive. I am also aware that If I'm running a .440 to...

Ok... So I finally get the engine and transmission all hooked up in my dart. I hook up all my transmission lines and put 5qts in the pan first, then Fired it up. Engine fires up first shot, runs like a champ. Put the transmission in rev, neut, drive, 2nd, 1st... back and forth. Then put it in...

So I have bolted up my transmission back up to my 360 with the new flexplate and torque converter. It did seem a littler harder to bolt up the transmission to the block, but it still went on relatively easy. Now I cannot turn the motor over by hand. I have installed a shift kit as well. I...

Like the title says.. need and 8 1/4 or 8 3/4 axle for an a body... preferably near Reno, NV. Posi would be nice.. but it's not mandatory.

Hi folks. Figured it was about time to start a thread, since I have parts building up in my living room and still too much snow outside. So... I got this dart from my roommate.. who doesn't pay rent. He happened to purchase this dart from another friend and mine and then decided to give it to...

Hi there... I recently acquired a '73 Dart for free... Roommate owed me and decided to give me a Dart. I think it was a good deal. This car needs a lot of work...but fortunately the previous owner had actually put some effort into this car by starting the body work and and some other nifty...
