    I need schooling - old vs. new engines

    Dion, I think that cam is for a stock piston, hence the short duration. I think they try to make up for that with lift. I find there aren't many cams advertised for the G3 that are for aftermarket pistons only. I'm sure that's to prevent the uneducated 2015 challenger owner from late night...

    I need schooling - old vs. new engines

    Nothing wrong with simplicity of pre-efi engines if that is your thing. Just please don't preach that efi is junk. It's simply not your thing. I wonder if guys in the 1932 were complaining about Ford taking the ignition advance off the steering wheel. I can see the butt hurt now... "all these...

    I need schooling - old vs. new engines

    Thanks for the kind words. I've probably spent more time thinking about how I wanted this thing to end up than I care to discuss. I guess that time was worth it vs. watching football (or some other meaningless activity) all weekend for my whole life. Some modifications pain me, while I don't...

    I need schooling - old vs. new engines

    Like this....lol. "stock appearing" is what I was going for. That's why the coils aren't on the valve covers. I wasn't happy about switching to the fabricated aluminum covers since it takes away some of the stock look, but I was at my wits end with the damn oil leaks from the stamped steel...

    I need schooling - old vs. new engines

    I'm not going to get into a pissing match over which is better. Everyone has a choice on which flavor ice cream they like. I personally, will never buy another carb. I'll admit I have spent considerable time learning EFI (self taught), making changes is as easy as a keystroke on the computer...

    I need schooling - old vs. new engines

    I run a 408", 242@ .050"/.594 lift solid roller cam, Indybrock heads, 9.5 compression with sequential fuel and spark EFI. TKO500 trans with a 3.91 gear. I've never optimized the tune for fuel economy, but I don't see any reason why I couldn't get 18-19MPG out of it by simply taking some fuel out...

    I need schooling - old vs. new engines

    Given the stock G3 cam is tame by nature, I'd imagine the idle timing advance isn't that "busy". I have a 112 CL cam and take some of the lope out at idle with timing. It's very easy to do. There's a timing table plotting intake vaccum and RPM. When RPM goes up, knock timing out of it. When RPM...

    I need schooling - old vs. new engines

    While I'm sure some of the EFI manufactures have had some growing pains, I'd be willing to bet 75% of the problems with EFI is the user or the method in which it was installed. IMO if you don't fully understand how EFI works and you want to "DIY" it, stick to your carb. If you are willing to...

    "the pro touring look"

    Well since we’re reviving an old thread. Here’s my junk. I’m by no means a pro at anything and I don’t give tours, but I drive the **** out of my car and beat on it like it owes an money. Does that make me pro-touring?

    foose is hacking up another mopar !

    I won't bother to post my opinion because every single person on here has their own and life is too short to convince others to agree with my ideas. But what I will say is I thought this episode was done on the cheap, which is a relative term. They didn't strip the car, who knows what was...
