    efi intake for more low end torque

    I am going to put the track heat on this weekend. It seems like the easiest thing at the moment to do. Hopefully, it will help. I don't want to change the gears or add more converter right now. It seems, I am doomed to always have a miss-matched combo. Thanks for the help. Scott

    Roller Rocker Clearance Issues!!!!

    I had that problem with my cam +600 lift and comp cam pro magnum rollers. Be happy you found out before you ran it. I did not check mine and busted about four of them what a mess. I don't know if you can clearance aluminum rockers. I went with crane gold and checked them before I ran it and...

    efi intake for more low end torque

    Thanks guys, I am running a 3000 stall converter, but maybe it could use a little more. I did not want more than 3000 because I still drive the car on the street sometimes. I am looking at changing the gear set. 1st in the aode is 2.40 and 1st in the 4r70w is 2.84. I should have changed the...

    efi intake for more low end torque

    Hi Guys, I am looking for an intake compromise for my 342 listed in my signature. I am shifting at 6500 and the top end is fine. But the thing is a dog down low with the TFS R. I don't want to totally choke the top end, but I have got to get some more get up and go back. Any ideas? I...

    Fuel pouring out my tail pipes

    Well, I ran it and pulled the plugs. #4 and #5 were soaking wet. I will change the injectors tonight. I still think it is wierd for two to go at the same time. Scott

    Fuel pouring out my tail pipes

    Thanks for your help guys. I was afraid this was the case. Yes, it is pure 93 octane. You should have seen the front of my wife's Taurus and my neighbors must love me. It was all over the ground and if you ran your finger in the tail pipe you could get it to run out. I wish I could run the...

    Fuel pouring out my tail pipes

    Well, my car started really hard today and it is blowing raw gas out the pipes. I thought it might be my adjustable regulator because my gauge was going to zero with just the key on. I put the stock regulator on and it was holding pressure but still just throwing gas out the tail pipes. I...

    Desperately need Gear HELP!!!

    Everything needs to be torqued when you check it and I think you are to tight on your pinion. It should be tourqued with inch pounds of drag on it. I don't have the number with me. Somebody here will know what it is. I have never had much luck with that marking paste. It is very difficult...

    347 into our Cars??????

    I did not say it was the engine's fault. I just said, if I was doing it again, I would go with the smaller displacement. That was the question he asked. Yes, I was serious about my heads. They have same size valves and combustion chamber, unless you opted for the AFR's with the 59cc chamber...

    347 into our Cars??????

    My heads are almost same as 185's. There is no CNC, but mine are twisted. They also flow better than 185's up to 5800 and that is where I run my car. My buddy runs 185's on his 331 with an RPM II and goes to 6200 and is not any faster. He was asking about displacement and I know a lot of...

    347 into our Cars??????

    If I was going to my engine change again. I would go with the 306 and blower. The cost of a stroker and tuning are just not worth it. Even a stock 4.6 with 6lbs of boost is blowing my doors off for less money. I put in a 342 this off season and my buddy put in a 331. We are both...

    Wanted middle to low 12's

    I thought about the stall, but I have to drive the car on the street and did not want to be slipping all the time. I may have to go that way because I really wanted to stay N/A. I am going to look at my fuel and timing this weekend, but just don't see a 1/2 second to pickup.

    Wanted middle to low 12's

    I am running a PI converter with a 2400 stall. I use a aem emu for tuning. I ran the first set of 12.9's on slicks with my tune and the second set on mickey thompson drag radials with a tune from a professional tuner. My 60's are just 1.90. I could not tell a difference between the tires...

    Wanted middle to low 12's

    What do I need to do to my setup? I thought it would be faster. I don't want to go the power adder route this time. I have been messing with the tune, but the best I have run is 12.9. I guess I will have to start taking weight out, but that will not get me enough time off either. Any ideas...

    Equal length vs. shorty's

    Go for the shorties. A buddy of mine has equal length and they are always in the way of something. His a/c line gets cooked and his third plug boot as well. I like having the room to work. Good luck. Scott

    PA Valvebody

    I used one for a while and then pulled it. I replaced it with a valve body that I put a trans-go kit in. The PA was okay from 1 to 2, but weak on the 2 to 3. Installing the trans-go kit was easy, but if you don't want to go to the trouble,the PA was better than stock.

    Distributor wont go all the way down on new motor

    I had the same problem on my 342 with a ARP Shaft and my MSD Distributor. It was the snap ring on the pump shaft that keeps the shaft from falling out. I just took my old distributor shaft that I was using to prime the engine and lightly tapped it until the snap ring moved down enough to fit.
