    Rev limiting problem

    Just so you know, the only thing remotely stock in the motor is the block and it was cryo treated by CryoPlus, lifters aren't stock either . Also, it's not possible to have billet rods with a billet crank :). I might not "know everything" but I do know my motor. P.S. Jesus, how much would a...

    Rev limiting problem

    To expand upon that, the harness was hacked up, and I didn't need the connectors, I have a fabricated aluminum dash with everything wired to independent switches.

    Rev limiting problem

    Yes lol. Oh and by the way, the harness was trash bro, trust me.

    Rev limiting problem

    Really? no-s**t? Well I guess neither are billet aluminum slugs, a Bi-Lo custom crank, or block cryogenic treatment, right? The motor was like that when I bought it. I don't wanna come off as an ass, and I assume you don't know the whole story... The motor used to be carbureted before, but...

    Rev limiting problem

    I plan on it, but when I was converting the motor to carbureted, it was, to say the least, a budget build-up. I plan on getting a Mallory Unilite paired with an MSD 6A, and probably a 6BTM when I go forced induction. By the way, to answer speedytang, the stock computer is on my dresser in my...

    Rev limiting problem

    Remember, I said about 7000, specifically it's around 67-6800.

    Rev limiting problem

    to answer your questions. obviously the heads are not still stock. The exhaust runners are fully ported and hand polished, the intake runners are port matched to the manifold, the block is cryo-treated, 6061-t6 pistons, billet rods, custom cut and pressed crank, dyno-tuned exhaust (dyno tuned to...

    Rev limiting problem

    Hey guys I just wanted to make sure of something. My car's powerband runs out at about 7000, and the valve train itself will take 8k, however it's somehow limited to 5900. I have a Mallory dual-point distributor and an MSD blaster ignition. I believe that whats happening is the ignition is dual...

    Projector HID swap...

    I've been thinking about it myself, but I was thinking about using the APC projector headlights. Are these quality or should I go I dif. route? If I use the APC's what all do I need?

    I Hate My Flowmasters (Dronemasters).

    Well I have BBK shorties, and a custom mandrel/crimp bent 2 1/2" exhaust (crimped in some areas to tune the exhaust), no cats or mufflers and I love the way it sounds!! kinda like a USAR Hooters ProCup car lol, only problem is, it's not loud enough for me :D I'm going 3" as soon as I can, w/...

    Clutch cable question...

    Not really. I've had the same adj. cable quadrant in my car since 04', never had any problems.

    Carbureted v. EFI

    Even more off topic, but hey 88, what's your wheel sizing and backspacing for all four?

    Carbureted v. EFI

    Just off topic a little, I also like the way that you can change the appearance of carburetors. Sure fuel injection intakes are different but there's really no way to make them look trick. Add-ons such as the velocity stack can really bring a "trick" element to the engine. Not to mention hilborn...

    will hyper pistons be fine?

    Unless you have a professional multi-million-dollar operation, then you could buy a new set after every race :) j/k.

    will hyper pistons be fine?

    Maybe I'm just an a**hole but I was assuming that he wasn't at the kind of level to tune a highly modified motor with hypereutectic pistons. Not to mention most people don't even have the kind of money to have that precise of tuning done to it. The pistons'll be fine, but you really have to know...

    will hyper pistons be fine?

    Alright... Hypereutectic pistons are phenominal for a daily driver, not to say forged aren't either but they're not needed. If you're going to be running a 306 with even some mild modifications, hypereutectic pistons will be fine. You can even run hypereutectic pistons in a stroker motor...

    Carbureted v. EFI

    Carbs are also a pain in the ass just in case, say, you wanna' take a trip next January from Florida up to Hickory, North Carolina for a trade show called KartFest. Unless you've brought a set of different power vavles, jets, and wrenchs, you're SOL. Which is why I like my 750 4160 vac...

    Carbureted v. EFI

    Valid point. That's one thing I did like back when I had mine 'Injected, the only thing I could smell while idling was the old rotting Ford carpet...GOD I love that smell :) Mine is my daily driver and I like the setup carbureted because specifically, for me, the guy who owned the car before...

    Carbureted v. EFI

    Thats the stuff I'm talkin' about. I'm not trying to be a d**k, but what I was aiming for was for people who wanted to know to read this thread and decide for themselves which type of induction THEY like better and not be swayed by either group, be it Carb or EFI guys.

    Carbureted v. EFI

    It depends on how well the driver can tune for the most part, but in any one application, if you had an ideal EFI setup and an equally set up carbureted setup, you wouldn't necessarily have more torque. I know I'm probably wrong, but my big deal with carbs is that I like the idea that my...
