    Heat Sink Woes

    My engine runs decently warm, hopefully that'll get fixed soon as $ permits. But anyhow. Brand new starter right, how subjectable is it to heat sink? Once my car gets to the temp it wants to be at and once I cut it off. I go to crank it up, it acts as if the starter (OEM Replacmtent) doesn't...

    EGR Vacuum Line?

    I just changed my EGR and EGR sensor. Call me stupid or whatever but I noticed a place to put a vacuum line on the EGR. I'm thinking this is why my car runs as poorly as it does. What does the vacuum line do for the EGR? If thats what goes there. Next question. I'm really not sure if since...

    Horsepower Loss Minus the MSD

    How much of a difference will taking my 6AL box off make? And significant HP loss? I wouldn't expect a big loss, I'm just curious. I haven't driven my Stang long enough to realize any difference since I took it off. I'm putt'n around on my GSXR mostly right now, I don't trust my car to drive...

    31 Spline and what else?

    I'm planning a whole over haul on my car this spring. Buying parts while it's cold. I'm getting a DSS 331 Stroker with the internals to handle 15-20 PSI of SC. So saying that. I'm definately needing a new rearend setup. I'm pretty good engine and electrical wise. As far as rearends...

    Timing Question!!!

    I drove all the way from KY to NC with a loose distibutor. I found this out 2 days after I got to NC cuz my car was running like crap. I decided to check the timing, so when I went to check my distributor it was loose. I got the the timing back to where it would run so-so. I have a cylinder...

    Gear Driven

    Are there any advantages/disadvantages with replacing the timing chain with the gear driven timing set? I know of the excessive gear whine (oh yea) but other than that? Thanks. ((Planning a rebuild soon))
