    who here knows what a subaru wrx (sti) is???

    Indeed indeed -- as a previous subaru owner -- read my above posts.. yeah they can be quick.. anything can.. it all depends on budget, time and effort... but I'll definitely say.. I feel more comfortable in any of my foxbodys.. even the stripped ones. Than I ever did in either the wrx wagon or...

    who here knows what a subaru wrx (sti) is???

    Okay -- I was one of the first people to own a WRX when it first came out.. albeit a wagon.. in 2001 (it was an 02). I had that little 2.0 bitch pumpin out a good deal of power (444awhp, 414awtq). The secret? Forced Performance's FP series turbos.. The red :). Anyway -- that little car was a...

    huge debate...with my setup..

    The question really lies in how much money DO you have to put into this? What is your budget? Do you have enough to go aftermarket 302 block? Granted you could go 351 and build a 393 then charge it for ~ the same $ as going aftermarket 302 block/full on build.. What kind of numbers are...

    revved to 6000 by accident, motor dead?

    Yah shifting at 4800 is definitely a bit low. You will still be making power a bit further up in the rpm range. Any mods on the vehicle? If you want to you could get a ignition box and set it to a rev limit so you never surpass it and will never have to worry about that again.. Plus the whole...

    what type of heads?

    I agree with what y'all are saying -- to each combo its own. I have found it is always best to work with a goal in mind first. Then move on. Usually people can't do it all at once and they try to do it in stages. Which in some cases does not really leave you with much of a choice; you...

    My engine does not sit right (pics inclued)

    Hey do you have the ability to put the car up on jackstands on a level area and run some plumb-bob/plumb-line to check straightness/"correctness" of the frame. Its a bit hard to get it up high enoiugh to do that, but ive done it before and it works fine. Does the car roll out alright? Does it...

    what type of heads?

    Oh yeah -- :OT: Daggar -- your car looks real clean -- what hood is that (yeah I know PMs are for this sorta question but I never check them). I have an 86 nitrous fed vert. Everyone in my area hates four-eyes. Conversion asshats -- if you want an aero, buy one, leave the four-eyes alone...

    what type of heads?

    Ya no issue -- whats strange is -- on the thumper setup I had, I changed from shorties into longtubes (feeding into a Y pipe to feed the T6/101mm) and I saw 38rwhp, 44rwtq in difference. So talk about flow difference, there definitely is one. I wish I had the ability to post up my sheets...

    what type of heads?

    I do not have a dyno sheet to post, but from a past setup; I had 1 3/4 inch equal length shorties and then 1 3/4 longtubes and the power i gained was 18rwhp and 26rwtq. Go figure. Everything else was the same -- except for the fact that the shorties had a flowmaster setup with dumps while...

    8.8 Gear Change Issues -- Stuck between Bad Pattern & Too Many Shims

    Oddly enough I dunno about that bad set of gears statement -- they did work in the mustang that they came out of (my old car) and they only have about 2000 miles on them; hence the reason I decided to take them out and reuse them. Perhaps the backlash is off a bit -- im tempted to play with...

    8.8 Gear Change Issues -- Stuck between Bad Pattern & Too Many Shims

    I have swapped 3.27s, 3.55s and 3.73s. I never had an issue -- Here I am with a big one though. I am currently doing a set of 4.10s. I have found that at my current shim amount that if I have the bearing caps torqued down and I try to spin the ringgear by hand -- that it is impossible. I...

    '86 H.O and B-cam question....

    Definitely check piston to valve clearance and combustion chamber size (depending on heads used). Good luck, you will not be disappointed!
