    Are Cometic MLS head gaskets really worth the extra money??

    I think I just blew my new felpro 1011-2 head gaskets and I was wondering if the Cometic MLS head gaskets are really worth the $160 price tag? I was running too much timing and I'm pretty sure I toasted my felpro's this weekend. I'm new to the whole supercharger scene, so I guess one set of...

    HELP!!! No vacuum after head and intake swap.....

    Which injectors and fmu disc would best suit my combo?

    First off I have no local tuners that can burn a custom chip so I will have to do all the tuning myself. With that said I need to be as close on with the tune as possible so I can be safe when I first run it to start tuning. The combo is as follows: Paxton Novi 1000(6lbs boost for now)...

    Is the B&M hammer a good shifter for a AOD?

    I'm looking to get an aftermarket shifter for my aod car and I'm wondering if the hammer is a good choice. Does it have the provisions for 1-2-D-OD or just 1-D-OD like the stock one. I don't like doing the 1-D-1 shuffle. I want a shifter where I can shift through the gears like normal without...

    My car has a Novi 1000 on it and I bought the smog eliminator kit today hoping that it will work. It's just like the motorsport one. It is supposed to bolt up just like the smog pump, but it has a free wheeling pulley on it. Does anyone use this with a supercharger and does it bolt up fine...

    I was fixing to buy a set of afr 165's and people have said that you need to upgrade to arp studs with the afr upgraded springs. Is this true for a mild 306 with a cam of about 500 lift and won't be shifted over 6,000 rpms? thanks, Matt

    Are you supposed to run synthetic when using a blower?

    I just bought a car that has a Novi 1000 on it with a fresh 306. The previous owner said that he had been using Castrol 10W30 conventional oil in it. I had a local tell me that I'm supposed to be using synthetic beings that the paxton is fed by the engine oil. Is there any truth to this?

    AOD guys, help me find out what gears I have......

    I just bought an AOD car and I'm trying to figure out what gears it has. The owner told me that it had stock gears. Like a 3.27 or a 2.73 gear. When I'm running about 60 mph, the stock tach in Overdrive is reading around 1,600-1,700rpms. Does this sound about right for a stock geared car...
