    1973 Headers

    Ok so Ive been upgrading my engine(again) and my tuner/mechanic is telling me that if I decide to go with AFR 185 heads, that the ports are wider than my headers port and will kill the flow. even if i decided to go with RPM heads which match up better, according to him, He still says my current...

    HP woes with Sniper Sytem

    So after doing a bit more research. I found that the RPM heads come in 2 version. both with 60cc chamber yet one has 2.02/1.60 valves and 190 cc runners, while the other has 1.90/1.60 valves and 170 cc runners. looking at the heads on the car, i dont see any identifying numbers.

    HP woes with Sniper Sytem

    Coil over conversion

    So who has done it and what are your thoughts? Of course any upgrade over stock suspension makes a huge difference. When i went from stock to a grab - a- track front a rear suspension i was blown away. But by todays standards, even grabatrack is old. I dont have the budget to do all 4 corners...

So my guy wired up a small light underneath the radio dash. so if a code is thrown, itll light up. Hasnt ever so i guess we are good...

    AOD problem anyone with experience?

    well i was convinced Non lock up was the way to go and i believe we did single piece input shaft, which right now is probably still overkill for me but I was told by several people that was the only surefire way to make it near break proof. the only other lock up that can take high HP is...
