What is big money?

If I were to use a power a adder it would be a turbo like I have on my mustang but this car will never use a power adder.

We'll the problem is that it is a cheap Keith black silvolight hypereutectic piston with tight ring end gaps so it would have to be a small shot and not worth it.

That is a good idea hemi Denny! I'll have to use some of my tax refund for that.

I agree NOS is not for me! If that was the way to go I would have built a stealth 408 with 14 to 1 and a set of w2's with. Giant solid roller cam and plum the NOS under a stock intake modified to fit w2's and made it look like a stock 318 and lied about it like the wannabeese we all see at the...

I'm running at 5000ft elevation so the 3500 pounder ran 12.66 with the 3500 stall that I had in it before. I had frank spec this converter out for my engine and it loves it. It will flash 4800 so it is about pirfect. The track closed for winter before I got the converter in so no et yet.

My friends have 400 Chevys and stroked 408 fords, I'm trying to beat them with 40 less cubes to make it bitter for them! I know I could have used. Lighter car to start with but I scored this one foe $250 so I bought it and built an engine and tranny for it and threw gears in the 8.25 that was...

Thanks for the help, I do know that the converter is key so I put. Dynamic 8" converter in it. I guess I should specify the engine is mild compared to most of my stuff but it's a magnum flat top 360 (pistons .016 out of the hole), .050 thick head gasket with edelbrock magnum heads and a...

Thanks! That's the type of information I was looking for. This car has a mild 360 so weight is a big deal.

My goal is to run the quickest et with the car that I have, I don't have a lot of money so I'm looking into shaving weight to compete with friends with novas and mustangs.

How much do you think I would gain by removing the crash bars in the doors?

Does anybody have any tips for removing weight on 74 duster without being too obvious? I'm trying not to make it look gutted but want to know where the hidden weight might be!

Even a broken clock is right twice a day!

LXguy is going to get the iron rams because I offerd them to him, sorry guy's

LXguy if you want I will give you these iron rams free if you want to pay shipping.

11.70's is an impressive number for that set up. Too bad your tuning talent is warped by internet hype and forbidden truth. you wouldn't know because you make the claim without using the eddy's. Anyway you use your iron heads and I'll use my eddy's and maybe someday we will end up at the same...

You believe specs you read on the internet and I'll believe what I see at the track. Yet another example of someone trying to convince me that I'm wrong and and you are the expert yet I have done the test and you refused too because you believe hype.

I just get tired of hearing the edelbrock bashing by people who have never tried them and will assume that these heads that they can afford will out perform the ones that they don't want to spend the money for. I have noticed that nobody will factor in the 58cc vs 62cc chamber and that 1/2 point...

The rockers I was running were the stock magnum stuff. Until you try it don't doubt it. I was not trying to gain performance by changing to edelbrocks, the reason I switched was because I had problems with the valve guides on the iron rams and it smoked. I was told that the edelbrocks would not...

I was just trying to offer my experience with EQ heads, people will always only hear what they want to hear. Fact is the edelbrock heads are more expensive and require chevy rockers but they out perform the eq's. I will never doubt what I see on the my time slips.

My camshaft is only 228 236 @ .050 on a 110 seperation, peak hp is about 5800. I'm not sure the extra rpm is getting me anything. Anyway I'm going to put 2.02's in the iron rams and put them on another motor for my sons car so we will get an apples to apples comparison then.

The edelbrock heads have a 58 cc chamber and you can buy them like I did with the good springs for the hydraulic roller cam. My iron rams had the hughes 1110 springs and with the same cam would shut down at 6000 rpm. With the edelbrock springs I can twist that hydraulic roller to 6500 witch may...

I ran the ones with 1.92 valves but I would have a hard time believing that the Iron rams with 2.02.s would make that big of a change. I have made the change in valve size in other applications and never had that big of gap in performance with no other changes. I'd just buy the edelbrocks if it...

I used the EQ heads from hughes engines (iron rams) and then replaced them with out of the box edelbrock magnums and there was a night and day difference. The edelbrocks without any other changes made the car .4 and 3mph faster.
