    What's more HP? H/C/I 5.0 or H/C/I 4.6 3V?

    What's more HP? H/C/I 5.0 or H/C/I 4.6 3V?

    See, now why is it that a h/c/i 5.0 will make on avrage (hydrolic roller cam, twisted wedge/afr 165's etc) with popular heads and cam/intake choices around 300rwhp, but the 05-07 gt's will do 330-340rwhp? I don't get it.... I'm not worried about this car, just brought my personal situation...

    What's more HP? H/C/I 5.0 or H/C/I 4.6 3V?

    Also posted at the corral- Theoreticaly, (sp?) what should make more power, a h/c/i 302 pushrod motor, or a new 3 valve 4.6 with the same treatment. I'm going to say the 5.0, but the new modular motor may be more effecient-not volumetricaly, but the use of overhead cams and the other features...

    Question about tire size (24") and gears (2.73)...

    Thanks for the reply. The shocks are pretty new (2000mi.) and I do have subframe connectors, a welded 4pt. roll bar, and battle boxes welded in. So I think the frame should'nt be deflecting much...I think I'll see what happens when I adjust my pinion angle a bit, then lose the quad shocks. If I...

    Question about tire size (24") and gears (2.73)...

    First of all don't make fun of me for using 14" wheels. Now here's the question. I use 215/60/14 bfg drag radials. They are 24.2" tall. They have about 3/8" clearance before they hit the quad shocks. See what I mean? So I cant run any wider tires....yet....I ordered some granitelli adj...

I also use a comp. engineering torque link. The car is gutted so you really feel everything. Now at idle i feel a little vibration. I...
