    exactly how important is ported intake? next mods

    Will the stock pre-91 intake manifold support 12-130hp easily? Trying to figure out why my damned car still has no power. It's a speed density with ranger header and full 2-1/4" exhaust, 5.0 air filter box and an open tube, higher compression, ranger roller cam, and I tried monkeying with the...

    2.3 N/A - how much to mill the head? what pistons to get?

    I started my car up one morning, and all a sudden it's making this loud ass hammering sound. It freaked my dad out but what was he gonna do about it lol. I put about 100 miles on the car like that then when I was putting on a Ranger header I stuck a die grinder in the exhaust ports (don't do...
