    Safe Base Timing

    You need either a BTM or a chip in order to pull timing under boost. Put a BTM on the car, set base timing to 10 degrees, and put the BTM on 1.5 or so to be safe first time out and work with it from there.

    LaRocca Performance

    Can I ask why you say to stay away from Radical Racing?

    LaRocca Performance

    Try Craig Radovich at Radical Racing in Atco, NJ, less than a mile from Atco Raceway. Great tuner, does great work, and is a super nice guy.

    Which HG for boost

    Regular Fel-Pro 9333's hold up just fine under boost. Tons of people run them at 15+ psi and I know of someone who went in the 8's using those headgaskets with over 25 pounds of boost. It's all in the tune. If you run those metal Cometics and your tune is off, your gasket may hold up, but you...

    What's that sound?!?!

    I had the same problem with my FRPP 1.6 rockers not clearing the stock valve covers so I bought Anderson Ford Motorsport chrome valve covers part #AF-PKCVC for $70 and they work great. Had to run a 3/8 intake spacer to clear my upper intake but other than that, they fit fine.

    3" Tailpipes installed!

    nice!! I have the same ones just sitting in the box waiting to get welded on. Do the tips rub against the bumper or is it just the angle of the picture?

    wildwood nj

    I may go for a night but I doubt I'll bring either of our Mustangs. I'll go to the show just for something to do but it's no where near as good as it used to be. Cops have really cracked down and give out careless driving tickets like crazy now :notnice:

    Pinks Tonight!!!

    I didn't go to Lebanon Valley to see it but the guy in the AMC Javelin is from my area. He's a manager of a local speed shop and a pretty well-known local racer. He actually has another Javelin that he races that is much faster than the car he raced on the show, but when he built the car for the...

    302 block

    Hard to really answer whether or not it will hold up. Some people have had them hold up for a long time and others aren't so lucky. The block may be able to handle 450rwhp, but as others said, theres very little margain for error. All it would take to split that block is some detonation or a...

    4.6 or 5.0??

    Definitely a 5.0. It has trick flow heads, trick flow stage 2 cam, etc. All pushrod components. Too many 94-95 5.0 guys change their tail lights to 96-98 ones to judge just by that.

    What to use in my FMU? 10:1 or 8:1

    Honestly, I would not screw around with an FMU. I know they are cheap and work to an extent, but they can be a headache. Do yourself a big favor, sell the 24lb. injectors and the 24lb. calibrated mass-air meter (or get it recalibrated) and pick up a set of at least 42lb. injectors, a correctly...

    Opinions on Novi 1k

    Paxton doesn't offer a Novi 1000 kit for 94-95 cars...only Novi 2000. Novi 1000's are for foxes only.
