    so the race tech forum must be dead...

    thanks for the replies yea i figured that cam was a bottleneck, but the heads have good potential, the person i bought them from had them on a foxbody with a 331 and was running 10 with them, i just gotta figure out how to uncork them for my setup anyways. plan on getting alot more seat time...

    Headers

    i have a set of flowtech long tubes, they fit well but for them you will need the drop bracket if you have power steering as far as exhaust goes i just used the 3 to 2.5 collectors and built it with 2.5 pipe and mufflers and made some turndowns, fits good sounds great

    What size stall?

    in that case i would say your coworker had a transmission issue, my converter will stall @ around 3100 and it still moves forward at idle, and drives a lot better than the junk TCI saturday night special i had before too and X2 on the trans cooler!

    i posted this a few days ago in there and after a few views and no replies i figured i would try here :shrug: so i took my car to the track a few times over the summer, and i have to say, i expected a lot more out of it. my best i could get was a 9.10 @76 mph on the street tires which is a...

    Anyone using Comp Cams "High Energy" 268H?

    ive been running that camshaft for 2 years now, and its been pretty good. its a lil small for my setup now, so im sure itll be great for stock heads, upgraded springs are probably still a good idea, ill post ya a vid of the idle when i get home later:nice:

    i beleive it holds 9 qts but don't quote me on that, if you dropped the pan you should add at least 2 1/2 or more qts to it, whats the level on the dipstick?

    anyone run a 255 rear tire?

    thanks for the repiles guys, 4-4.5 sounds like it'll work ok, but d.hearnes comet makes me wonder if i can fit 275s, i gotta go do some measuring :shrug:

    anyone run a 255 rear tire?

    if so, what offset, backspace for the wheels, i don't want em to stick out too far from the fenders, its gonna be a 255/60/15 Et Street, on a 8 inch rim, but the backspacing etc. always confuses me

    Fuel + Spark = Still Won't Run!?!?!?!?!?

    the popping from the exhaust would tell that cyl 1 is on tdc of the exhaust stroke, pull the dizzy out and turn the rotor 180 degrees, and drop it back in leave everything else the same, it'll fire
