    hooking up wideband O2

    You will need to get a complete setup with a controller and most setups will have an output for use with a datalogger. The gauge is a nice thing to have so you can keep an eyeball check on the AFRs. The simplest and cheapest setup is the AEM wideband, IIRC they are around 200 bucks now and...

    Summit brand throttle bodies, anyone use them?

    Ive had good and bad summit parts. I bought a summit ignition box, which i am pretty sure its a rebadged mallory box, looks exactly the same and a little cheaper than the Mallory box. It works good with no problems. Bought a summit brand coil. The first one out of the box was dead and wouldnt...

    Anyone else not liking short gears with their 5.0??

    I know what you mean about not liking the lower gears for the street. I have 3.90s in my car currently. Works good, drives decent since i have a 2.95 gearset trans. But when i had the vortech, it was too much gear honestly. I'm going to be swapping to 3.27s here pretty quick since i'm going...

    Can you warp a cast 5.0?

    Ive always had fits getting the timing cover/water pump seal to stop leaking. I think ford had a crappy design with the timing cover being sandwiched b/w the block. Chevy has a better setup where the WP simply bolts to the block. All you can really do is prep the surfaces well, just be real...

    Looking to increase power - need opinions please!!!!!!

    with the power your making now. adding a blower or turbo will make it too easy to get over zealous and turnt he boost up and kill the stock block. Perhaps you could consider a 100-125 shot of nitrous, a good SOTP kick but only when you really want it. 390 to the tire is a real stout number...

    quick question about installing rockers

    If you had this same rocker, pushrod, head gasket setup as before and didnt have any problems before, just bolt em down and go. nothing should have changed. If you changed something like heads, gaskets or rockers or anything that would affect the valvetrain geometry. you need to measure for new...

    Can you check error codes with quarterhorse?

    There is no limit to what you can log with the QH, the more you log, the larger your logs get. They can get pretty big pretty fast if you logging alot of parameters, and your logging at a pretty fast sample rate. and you cannot pull codes with a QH with an OBD1 car. I think however you can...

    cast iron vs aluminum

    I am not sure if i did or not, that was like 3 years ago. I got them off some guy on the corral. They are good heads and people dont give them enough credit IMO, they make good power, the definatly maintain a lower RPM band. Definatly good afor a "sleeper" build. I remember them having...

    Can I run mid 13s with my mods?

    shouldnt have a problem running mid 13s with that. a good running stock engine with bolt ons, gears and a tire and a good driver will run mid 13s. The intake and mild cam are only going to help that setup.

    cast iron vs aluminum

    i ran a set of thumpers for a while on my car. they are great heads and are a definate upgrade over stock.. but the aftermarket aluminum heads take the cake. A set of AFRs or TW heads out of the box will flow more that pretty much any ported stock castings. I imagine if you had the cash and...

    ? about cleaning and installing lifters

    yeah you have to press down lightly on the spider to get the two bolts threaded in. The lifters have flat spots on them that the dogbones slide over to ensure the rollers are oriented on the cam lobes..

    A/F Ratio and Fuel Trimming/Scaling Question.

    get yourself that QH and then input the correct MAF curve for your meter as well as the injector slopes. since you have a WB, shouldnt need much more that maybe some slight tweaking on the maf curve to get things in check then.

    Engine removal with headers or without?

    trust me, ive had the engine out of my car numerous times, pull the Midpipe completely off the car, pull the headers off the car, you arent saving any time leaving them in, it takes litterlly a few minutes to get them off. leaving them in place is just one more thing to line up when stabbing the...

    Quick question about crack in mid pipe before o2

    mechanically, an exhaust leak has no effect on the fueling/performance of the engine. it'll just be annoying. EFI wise, an exhaust leak pre-o2 sensor can affect the fueling of the engine. In CL the EEC trims fuel via the o2s, in a nutshell the EEC will add/subtract fuel to get the o2 to...

    302 Vortech A trim power?

    pulley it up a bit, make 10 psi or so and on that engine you should make enough power to run high 11s IMO I went low 12s at 112-113 mph with thumper e7s, b-cam and a typhoon intake with 5-6 PSI on an SC trim. The A trim isnt much different.
