    Drag strip: Street tire pressure?

    What air pressure do you recommend for street radials at the track? A search of the archives suggests 40f/25r. I've been running 35f/35r (cold).

    Flat black "murdered" SN95

    Does anyone have a picture of a flat black'ed SN95? I'm having a tough time imagining it. The Lorrie episode of Top Gear sparked the thought.

    Big port, small cam?

    Has anyone tried big ports with a (relatively) small cam? It works for the DOHC 32v. I'm getting bored with this small-port 5200 RPM stuff. I want some revs. How about AFR205 with a 260*/.550" cam?

    Mill heads for 94-95s?

    Who here has milled their heads for a SN95? Is there anything different about the 94-95s that would cause a problem, for instance in the PCM or emissions? Thanks. :flag:

    Drag strip ratio (4.10, 3.73?)

    This is for a fully-laden street Cobra with 26.0" tires, 5-speed, and mild mods but no blower or nitrous. If I did the calculations correctly, trapping 100mph would result in either 4800 (3.73) or 5300RPM (4.10) in 4th gear. 3.73 is all ready installed and am curious about going to the 4.10...

    Dragstrip Tech Inspection

    I've been to the track a few times. A few years ago at the old Spokane track a pulse and $20 was about all that was required to get on track. OTOH Renegade wouldn't let me run my 17 second Ranger because I didn't have full-length pants. So now I'm studying up on track tech before taking the...

    Search failed. 0-60mph?

    Curious what sort of 0-60mph times are typical for street SN95s? Does anyone have an old Car&Driver they can look up? I'm curious about typical street performance without a blower, nitrous, or slicks; say, a GT with bolt-ons and gears?

    Edelbrock heads?

    How big of an issue are the soft spring seats in Edelbrock heads, for example see this article at fordmuscle. Here's what I can see of mine: So I'm wondering if I need to pull the heads solely for the purpose of replacing the spring seats. These have been on for ~30,000mi/12years approx and...

    Steeda 19 Compression?

    What's the consensus on compression with the Steeda #19 cam? I don't see a recommended CR on the cam card. The only info I found in an archive search was that Rio5.0 milled his E7's ( thread ), but I didn't see what was the final cc volume. Errr, uhhh, pump gas, guys. :popcorn:

    Does this look like a 94-95?

    Here's the pic. It's the current BMW 6-series. Wish I could post this ad in Car&Driver with 5-spokes, it's amazing. :eek: What do you guys think? *edit* Here are the 5-spokes.

    Summit brand Timing Chain?

    Searched the archives 'til I puked. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=SUM%2DG6651%2DB&autoview=sku Billet steel, 9-way adjustable gear, includes thrust plate?! What's the catch, they're made out of recycled pop cans? Are these any good? I see the FMS B302 requires a...

    MSD 5 ?

    Thinking about this MSD 5 Blaster box for my DD. No nitrous, no blower, no track use... It spends a lot of time below 2500 RPM. Think agricultural. Is the spark going to be too hot during cruise and eat up plugs?

    289 ?

    What would it take to put a 289 rotating assembly in a late 5.0L FI block? I understand it will require the longer 5.155" rod and corresponding piston; my question is about flywheels, seals, and balancers. (Edit-OK, looks like the firing order is different: 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 v. 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8)...
