    Emissions-legal ported heads?

    So I really should't worry about the emissions all that much? Can anyone from MD with ported/aftermarket heads/aftermarket cam(other than "E") tell me that they have definately passed with these parts?

    Emissions-legal ported heads?

    Well I blamed the O2 sensors, which have since been replaced. Thanks for all the good info. Any MD ppl have any advice??

    Emissions-legal ported heads?

    As the title asks, is this possible? I'm thinking of putting in an E303 cam and porting the E7's to go with my combo below, but my stang is still my daily driver and in MD I have to take the emissions test every few years and it barely passed last time. Anyone know if ported E7's can be...

    Heads/Cam swap info?

    Thanks. I do have both the Haynes and Chiltons manuals, but sometimes I don't understand what they are saying, and I like to see advice from fellow stangers who have done it many times before and have picked up a few tricks that aren't in the books. I guess what I assumed about the E cam is...

    Why did my 1/4 ET go up after mods?

    Hehe... Yeah that's the idea :nice: But for now it is still a dream :drool:

    Heads/Cam swap info?

    I'm really thinkin it's about damn time I swapped my stock heads and cam. I've already decided (for $ reasons) that I'm going with ported E7's, and I'm thinking of either an FMS E or B cam, but I would like to stay emissions-legal. I live in MD and I have to take an emissions test every few...

    Why did my 1/4 ET go up after mods?

    UPDATE Ok, so I just got back from going to the track again, and I am again dissapointed. Maybe it was just the heat today or something, but I ran even slower than last time. I played around with the shift points a lot, starting out with 5000, then 5200, then 5500, then 5800, and then 6...

    Your opinion about a Dual Friction Centerforce

    I agree with smock, you will probably get a whole bunch of mixed opinions, however, I am another happy owner of a DF clutch. I've had it for about 18 months and it's worked like a charm on both the street and strip. I'm not pushing as many horses as smock, but I agree that the pedal pressure is...

    racing at the drag strip for the first time

    Yeah, you probably won't need the helmet, and this may sound obvious, but don't forget to wear pants! Not sure if all tracks enforce this (seems kinda cruel in places like CA or FL) but one of the first times I went to the track they wouldn't let me run because I was wearing shorts... They will...

    Why did my 1/4 ET go up after mods?

    Hey hey! This thread is starting to turn into some kinda reunion. :D But yeah Bill, I'm alive. It's been at least 2 years now. I think the last time I saw you I was still trying to solve the vacuum leak with my new setup. Well, sometime after that there was a big fiasco with my living...

    Why did my 1/4 ET go up after mods?

    Hey Rick! What's up man? I think when I met you at Mason Dixon was one of the last times I went to the track before my long break from racing. How's your stang runnin these days? I remember you were in the 11's then. As far as portin the stock heads goes, blk9450 is right, it is a definately...

    1st time at track did awful need help/advice

    Yeah, I definately understand that. I know I went with a full tank the first time as well. Some other ppl can probably answer the street tire air pressure question better, but I'm pretty sure when I had my best street tire run I had it around 34-36 psi. Those were 225/55/15's, and I'm sure every...

    Really? I just might be interested. I'll send you a pm or email tommorow.

    1st time at track did awful need help/advice

    Well some people might consider the weight from a full gas tank and crap in the car negligible, but the way I see it, when things are down the the tenth and hundredth of a second, every little bit counts. I always always take the time to clean everything unnecessary out of the car before I take...

    1st time at track did awful need help/advice

    You are not alone with the first time at the track being a dissapointment. Hell, I remember the first time I went with a basically stock stang I was runnin 15's and 16's all day with the same main problem, traction. Like someone else said, there is no need to do a burnout with your street tires...

    Why did my 1/4 ET go up after mods?

    Oh yeah, I forgot about that, but when I mentioned it I was mainly referring to it as a measure of how well I was doing with my driving. For me, at least, a bad R/T and a bad ET go hand in hand.

    Why did my 1/4 ET go up after mods?

    Thanks for all the help ppl. I forgot how great the community was here :D I am gonna hit the track again in 2 weeks, and I will try playing around with my shift points a lot, namely shifting and launching lower, as well as seeing if I can turn the timing up any higher and I might even try the...
