    Internal engine coatings?

    From the little searches I have made on YB coating skirts is ok but if your going to coat the tops of the pistons get them hard anodized. Unless you are going big no2, boost or cant tune a strong combo you really dont need the anodize. Skits maybe.

    Weight savings

    I don't know how much road grime and rubber-tar mix sound deadoning stuff you still have under your car but my 68 cuda was good for about two five gallon buckets. Around fifty pounds. But by far glass doors if you can get them takes a lot of weight off.

    440 build specs" this is it"

    Hope I am not to late. I think the 950 is way to big for that motor. Run a 825 or 850. I had a Rase Demon 1000 and it killed the motor with the same cam and specs. Cam is small and the heads are small. I dont care if they came with 900TQ or Six packs near 1000k. I think you will see more with a...

    Mechanical or Electronic Gauges

    I think mechanical is more reliable. The mechanical will also read when the car is off. This is nice at the track when you want to keep an eye on the whater temp.

    what am i doing wrong?

    I don't want to see you kill the motor but I take my 3/4 ton tow truck to 5500 when I jump on it. It's power is at 3000. If you take it easy nine out of ten passes who is to say it wont beak on the tenth. If it was my car I would at least take it two 6300 to 6500. Do it near your house from...

    what am i doing wrong?

    If your HP is at 6300 I see no point in not taking the motor to 6400 to6500 on shifts and 6600 to 7000 in the traps. If you make your 425HP at 6300 you are making less than that at 5400 and 5600. Depending on the cam you could be making as little as 325 at 5400 and 5600.
