    Crankcase Evac Pump

    That remark was directed at wazoo64 situation and not meant to be taken any other way. As someone who thinks they have so much more first hand knowledge than most on this board why don't you school those who need to be informed about such things as...Vac pumps on the street...Pro's and Cons

    Crankcase Evac Pump

    Christ...don't put a pump on it..!! you had better mount a gallon catch can under your hood because if it works it's going to pull a **** load of oil.. Drive it and get those leak down numbers into the single digits... Pumps on the street=unhappiness Just trying to save you some...

    Crankcase Evac Pump

    So you have two breathers and a PCV?? Even with two 1/2 in hole breathers it's not enough..The biggest problem was it came off the dyno into the car and then out on the highway for 30 min with that one 1/2 in hole for a vent.. Of course it's going to push out the seal on that valley tray and...

    Crankcase Evac Pump

    I run two breathers and a PCV and have no issues...this low deck is 15-1 and turns 8200 rpm and is street driven..

    Crankcase Evac Pump

    I'd try another breather on the other side..if you have a push in breather with the 1/2 hole in the bottom get rid of it. then weld a couple of 1 1/4 tubes in your valve covers and get a couple of push over breathers,I'm pretty sure that will relieve most or almost all of your problems.. I'm...

    quench vs no quench?

    There it is in a nut shell..!! I've been doing this for 40 plus years and the above statement sums it all up.. If I never hear the statement "torque monster " again it will be too soon...

    Custom ground camshaft, low power

    Those cam specs look like old Cam Dynamics energizer cam I use to put in 4x4's back in the 70's. [email protected] cam in a 440 would bring up a late model 440's hp rating to a 1970 375 hp rating... a cam with 228@50 is not going to set the world on fire. How much power did you expect or were...

    Just a 284-484?

    I'm sorry but 460 hp from that 484 purple cam is a load of crap ...that is a 350 hp camshaft in the real world. On a real dyno a normal 340 with a set of ported X heads/headers/intake/750 and with the sun and moon and stars all aligned on the best day 375 hp. I've read a lot of stuff on this...

    360 with 450hp

    I have to agree...something really not right there...1.3 hp per is way out of line for that cam...

    Mechanical vs. electric fuel pump?

    Mad... I'm pretty skeptical about those numbers that Carter claims...That small body and 172 [email protected] lbs seems really optimistic. The big 6 valve Alcohol pumps have a body twice the size of those 4862 style carter pumps and they flow those kinda numbers that carter claims 172 gph.We just gave...

    Mechanical vs. electric fuel pump?

    Not trying to be mean or anything but there no way that pump pushes that much fuel...it's a 20-30 GPH pump...the Carter super race/street pump with 6 valves only pumps 50-60 with that 1/4 pipe in/out. The very biggest 6 valve with 3/8's pipe in/out with the huge body is a 90-120 depending on how...

    BHJ Dampers = Good or Bad?

    Everyone I've ever used has twisted and zero had moved 12-16 degrees...haven't used one now for about 10 years

    Show me your tachs!

    Over 30 years and I've never had a tach in my GTX...If I were to put a tach in I'd put my old Moroso mechanical in the car just for the looks factor...

    Head Porting basics

    What you have to remember is that no two heads are the same because of core shift...about 1 in 10 is a good candidate to try and go over 230 cfm.And not every port will flow the same if you get within 15 - 20 cfm your lucky. I did those heads a few years back and I think the best port flowed...

    Head Porting basics

    Picture is worth a 1000 words...remember to leave the floors alone there is NOTHING to be gained there...The short side radius is very critical and best left to someone who Really Knows what to do.You can round it but laying it back is again best left to someone with experiance. The guide...
