The ignition switch assembly in my '94GT has gotten all loose and sloppy. It still works, but its not very reassuring.

I haven't seen a spec for the intake lobe centerline on the Steeda, but I suppose you could advance it maybe two degrees. With 4.10's though how much low end do you need?

Steeda #19 with 1.7's would put the lift around .510" and with the port work you're going to do the extra lift should help. The 115 deg. LSA is ground into the cam obviously, but 1.7's would have the effect of "narrowing" the LSA slightly. The exhaust bias should also complement the NOS.

I should have been a little more specific. Any combo will benefit from a good tune, I was just trying to state that the Stage One cam would probably not idle without a tune (or chip). Its entirely possible that it wouldn't idle with the Comp cam either, but I think the chances for a good idle...

I would just get a set of trunnion style 1.6 bolt down rockers. I wouldn't recommend the type that use the spherical "ball" or whatever its called. If you want to convert to stud mount I'm pretty sure it would require machine work on the heads. I'm not aware of any type of conversion stud for...

That emulsification latte occurs when the coolant mixes with oil. Its not a bad idea to use four studs (you can make 'em out of old bolts) to keep the gaskets in place during the install. After the other bolts are in you can pull the studs out and replace with bolts. You might want to do...

Yeah, I'd skip the blower part. :eek:

I wouldn't use the stock stamped rockers. I've got pedestal mount rockers on my AFR's. I use YellaTerra (made down under in Oz) adjustable bolt down rockers. The intakes and exhausts are mounted in pairs on short shafts. They're nice, but kinda pricey. There are plenty of other bolt down rockers...

X cam in a stock motor won't be much fun to drive.

It probably won't idle with the Stage One cam so you'd need a chip or EEC tuner to raise the idle. If you're going with an off-the-shelf grind something like the Comp XE270HR should work okay.

Is your bottom end stock? The 185's are a little big for a 302. 165's work good on a stock shortblock. I'm not such a big fan of the E cam. It might be good for certain combos, but I prefer a wider LSA.

I just looked at him in the rear view mirror and laughed.....that's satisfaction! Makes it all worthwhile doesn't it? :lol:

After I did my h/c/i install I had a similar condition. The motor would idle fine sometimes and other times it would hunt and surge like crazy. My first attempt at "fixing" it involved adjusting the screw under the little rubber cover on the throttle body and shooting for max. manifold vacuum...

No, I had it shimmed up so I tight I could barely get the old S-spring back in, but this is going back a few years ago when I did the rebuild.

NE1 ever notice if the tangs are longer on stock friction discs as opposed to the discs that come in a rebuild kit? I did my trac-lok rebuild a few years ago and my memory ain't quite what it used to be. I added an extra friction disc and eliminated one plain steel plate on each side. The...

I did my gear install & trac-lok rebuild a few years ago. I went with the +1 friction plate method. I checked the breakaway torque today and it was pretty low. I jacked up the rear of the car and put a 2x4 under one tire. I let the jack down until the other tire was just barely off the ground. I...

That's kinda what I figured. Which SLP's sound good with the catted ProChamber? I was thinking of using Magnaflow (not the magnapacks) axlebacks. I was also considering the Hooker Aerochambers, but I just read some negative comments about the drone and also some fitment problems.

That's the baby! Do these require cutting/welding of the stock system to install?

I'm curious about the Hooker Aerochambers myself. I think they had some fitment issues and changed the design a little. The clip on their site does sound pretty good though. I'm leaning towards the Hookers (not those hookers!) or the Magnaflows and probably a catted ProChamber down the road a bit.

I'd like to try the ProChamber (catted) with either Magnaflow (not magnapack) or Hooker Aerochamber axlebacks. I won't be doing the midpipe right away though.
