    Is vacuum advance needed with MSD box with a daily driver?

    You have to answer the question about initial timing asked. My understanding is with no vacuum advance, your mileage could suffer, though these distributors come with a few degree shims, for upwards of 18degrees advance. In my scenario, its purely performance, and run 20 initial, and 34...

    W2 roller rockers

    Rockers would probably be okay, its the springs and lifters that would take most of the beating.

    Mine idles just fine at 900 too.Now I dont typically drive it once temps get over 95 though. No AC makes that no fun

    W2 roller rockers

    I dont know, 4.56s with 26inch drag radials, and the 42RH overdrive, makes for some hilarious burnouts at will, and can still cruise down the highway like 3.55s and a no OD trans. Shifting at 7K is fun and then topping out OD at somewhere around 135(guess, because my speedo was buried long...

    W2 roller rockers

    sounds pretty close to my setup,except mine pulls to 7100rpm. blows through the 26inch drag radials at any rpm/speed. So more torque down low won't do much, if it can't stick. Comp cams custom grind(roller though) 254/260 at .050, with the 1.6 T&Ds, .698 gross lift Runs on pumpgas, limited to 33...

    The great stroker discussion!! 4in or more

    over 10K miles on mine. Brian(IMM) opened it up when one of the T&D rockers ate its bearing, and found no other issues, so slight changes and back together. Around 580HP at 6800RPM. We wound it up to 7400, to see if the HP would drop off, and it stayed the same, never dropped. All around street...

    that motor is going to eat tires. What are you going to run for tires? I've got 275 Nittos, and it'll still roast them with little effort.

    chargd72,we're discussing the 1-7/8 tube, 3.5 collector headers. I previously had the step headers and they were a non issue.

    no oil filter adapter here, just use a short K&N. You have Power steering? if not, you may not have the issues I had. I had to jack the motor up high to clear the box, steering coupler and gearselector, shaved some of the column where the selector bracket is. I have biscuit mounts, you have...

    what trans? Sounds like the rear will do for now. Good luck with those 1-7/8 TTI headers. They hit everything

    Engine is in...need to shim driver's sideside

    Try fitting 1-7/8 tube TTIs. Had to use thicker biscuit on driver and a fat shim on the passenger side to get it off the box, idler arm nut, and also grind down the gear selector area of the steering column to not rub on #7 slip in header tube. Just barely clears in all 3 spots.

    Engine is in...need to shim driver's sideside

    I found it on here somewhere. Let me see if I still have the info. So the original Dart mount I show as 2266 on Summit, and the thicker one is 602469.

    better engine mounts or torque strap

    seriously, what are you doing to still rip their rubber mounts with the torque strap. I have their rubber biscuits with their torque strap tied down very tight, and haven't had an issue, and I'm well over 550hp in a street car,with Nitto Drag radials.

    sb tuning problems

    I love my 850 for driving around. I have to agree, if you want more driveability, drop the carb size.
