I have the chance to get a MFPI system used,all the software,"four barrel" body,wiring,etc. the only things I'm told I'll need are rails and injectors. My question is if this will be an improvement over my 950 proform on the freshly built stroker. It's a playtoy 414"running 11.2/1...

Got a call from a buddy last night, and it seems that the staff at carlisle are now sending people with on-site camping reservations, off site. The number of on-site camping spots was greatly reduced, and it seems that the car trailer parking area is completely gone. Anyone else catch wind of...

I've been thinking about sealing my six pack scoop down to the carb and this would involve making an air pan, including any additional supports if needed. Anybody done anything like this? Need some ideas,pics would be great. Thanks,Mike

got the stroker running and having some timing whoas, I think. If I recall correctly, someone on here said something to the affect, a small block stroker,416", would like to see around 18-21 degrees initial timing, is this true? My carb question may go away with a little more timing, but at 20*...

I currently have a set of 3" 40 series flowmasters on my dart. The droning is really getting old and I'm looking for something a little different in sound but still capable of "breathing" well, any suggestions from you guys?

just got the new stroker up and running {thanks Neil,aka catsncudas} and after the first trip out, it seems the intake gasket "let go" on one side. Upon a prompt tear down, I'm thinking of getting a thicker gasket than the ultra seal set I used. Anyone got any good reccomendations? I saw that MP...

catsncudas and I have been trying to get the "new" motor tuned in and the carb is acting funky so I thought I'd ask for some insight. The motor at idle is pulling between 5-6 pounds of vacuum and it has a 2.5 power valve installed. Ocassionally for no apparent reason the idle will increase by as...

ok, so the saga continues,,,,,,,,,,the edelbrock "elite" valve covers won't clear the hughes rocker shaft hold downs so I'm in search of a good set of fabricated covers. Any suggestions?

trying to finish up this build and at the last minute realized the PRW balancer is 1.187" thick and the factory one is only .950" [measuring the body]. This makes the back side of the body hit the timing marks on the timing chain cover:wack: So can anyone give me a manufacturer that has one that...
