    Drag Springs or NOT? With a scare story.

    Well this kinda starts off me making a pass on a two lane road. Making lots of ponies comes with lots of responsiblity that almost bit me in my ass. So I was going 35 in a 55 behind this truck forever and as soon as all the winding curving roads stopped and I was allowed to pass I punched it...

    Does anyone have a stroked 4.6?

    I am not sure how reliable a stroked mod motor would be. Coast High Performance offers a 5.1L/310 Cubes stroker kit, has anyone had good experiences with Coast? This would be for a mostly street application, and also see some track time. I though I have heard before that the stroker motors for...

    Not your Basic Intake Spacer Question

    Ok. What is the main purpose of these spacers that go between the upper and lower plenum? If I recall some say it will cool the upper better therefore your engine will gain in performance from cooler air. I also know sometimes you may want to run them if your valve covers are to tall. Now the...
