    Are aftermarket heads a "waste" with stock cam?

    the gt40p head is still pretty reasonabley priced and you can still send them 2 thumper and end up with a set of heads that will flow damn close in comparison to a set of higher quality heads after he reworks them.

    Custom offroad H-pipes!?!

    yes put the sensors back in. u can get weld in bungs to reinstall the o2 sensor. without the sensors the car runs in "limp mode" (figure of speach) computer relies on o2 sensor 4 feedback to adjust fuel curve and other features.

    Is .060 to much for a 302?

    definitely wouldnt want 2 bottle feed it or put a supercharger on it........it would be lucky 2 see a few passes with boost.

    Need to quiet down my xhaust

    terminators sound almost like 3 chamber flowmasters but with a little less cruiseing resonance. sound very healthy!

    1.6 or 1.7 rockers?

    true, i did make an mistake in what i said. i too do realize it isn't max lift that dictates p2v clearance, but amount of duration and overlap when both valves are open at same time when piston is nearing them on exhaust stroke. when i mentioned .032 i was intending 2 point out the difference...

    which wrist pin is the best?

    daily use, you really wouldnt need the floating type. the main benefit some of us use the floating (bushed) is if you are constantly inside the motor checking tolerances and switching out alum. rods before reaching stress (fatigue) limits on high dollar high HP motors with ultra light rotateing...

    custom feature allowed adjustabilty can fine tune further if preset fuel map is off on A.F.Ratio at certain RPM's, cruise, WOT, etc.

    anyone know about laptop programming?

    as rick stated you will be quite pleased with the adjustability features, allowing you 2 change fuel maps 2 better suit individual cam profiles. my pro-jection setup came with necessary software to install on laptop and gives you the option of chooseing through mutiple preset fuel maps or...

    Does this combo sound OK???

    those are decent arm replacements. they will cut out a large portion of bushing bind&flex under heavy load giveing you your desired launch. i went with full spherical setup on mine and am quite happy with how consistent my e.t.'s are as a result of them and other mods 2 the suspension i have...

    Proper cam timing installation....

    lots of people will do as thumper suggested in order to make the cam more streetable with better manners by makeing it more responsive in lower RPM range compared as to straight up. theres absolutely nothing wrong doing it, but was pointing out you trade off upper HP for TQ is all.

    1.6 or 1.7 rockers?

    what i just recommended was in the same line as yount, measureing p2v clearance with existing 1.6 rocker and subtracting additional lift gained from going to 1.7 from measurement so you should lay off the crack pipe dude and re-read it yourself!

    Diablo Chips

    ok your sig threw me. its really up 2 you on the probe, wether the minimal power gains from a chip will be worth the cost of the chip. if it was for a V8 with heavy mods i would spend the money for the chip in my opinion due to seeing better power increases. for a relatively stock motor 4cyl. or...

    engine misses at WOT

    its prob. the plugs. swap them out for the heck of it with some normal plugs or even splitfires. same thing happened to me with my bosch +4's in upper RPM's but not in lower RPM's. dont know why, but it pissed me off that i payed so much for them and to have them do that. i'm lucky enough to...

    1.6 or 1.7 rockers?

    you can measure with existing 1.6 rockers subtracting .032 to the equation afterwards for the 1.7, provideing each rocker is within specs. and decide if you have enough clearance and decide from there wether you can or cant.

    Proper cam timing installation....

    well without actually degreeing it properly with a degree wheel the actual cam can vary between 1 to 2 degrees in either direction. but sure you can drop it in the way you describe and be pretty close. also you realize by advanceing it instead of straight up it lowers your powerband bringing on...

    Correct way to adjust valves?

    set them no less then 1/2 turn past 0 lash and stay around 3/4 max, going 1 cyl. at a time turning by hand should get you in the ballpark.

    Backfiring after MSD 6AL install...

    how old are the plug wires? after you mentioned they were numbered it made me think you are still running older wires with the new ign. setup. if they are old you may wanna test them checking there resistance with an ohm meter and replace if reading is high.
