Thanks. I just spend the extra money and get the dual friction. Here is a little thought for beginners, like me, spend the extra money upfront because something usally bits you in the butt.

I am thinking about getting a centerforce clutch. Should I get the Centerforce II or the dual friction? I am dissapointed in my self because I spent the money for a King Cobra and it slips. Is there a better clutch that would be more reliable?

I have an x cam it sounds really good. But I am also curious what a z sounds like? Don't know to many guys that use that cam.

You use automatic tranny fluid. I used Royal Purple.

So back it down to 38 psi and see if that helps. I have timing at 18 degrees advanced. I have ran it for only 10 mins at max I am going to change oil. Then I am going to break the motor in. I searched the threads and I have read to gradually run up the RPM's to about 4000 in 2nd or 3rd gear...

Just fired up the engine. I had to stab the distribator a few times but got it running. Sounds mean as hell. But I got the fuel pressure at 40 psi but to start it after the first time I had to hold the pedel to the floor then it started. Do I have to much fuel pressure? Also what is the...

I am looking at 375+. I looked at the SPEC clutches web site. What stage would be prefered?

I got my engine done. I am going to install it but I need a clutch. I was looking at a King Cobra HD clutch. Will that be strong enough? What would be a better clutch?

I have to put the intake on and get it into my car. I am getting excited to get it running. 400+ horse DSS said on yours that is awesome. That is about what I was thinking with mine. It should be a fun car. I posted a thread a month ago and the magority of the guys said go with 30#...

Not to get off topic but how is your x303 cam in your 331? That is what kind of cam I have in my 331. I am just wondering what kind of performance or number you are getting? Thanks

I was thinking that the rings are creating fiction so you have some resistance there and also the weight of everything. That is great to hear that 30 lbs is not much resisance.

Yep used assembly lube. Thanks, I was a little unsure about it. I thought it was a little tight. I can put the heads on it tomorrow. How do you post pictures?

I just got my shortblock done. How much ft lbs does it take to turn the crank? It takes me about 30lbs to turn the whole assembly. I checked all the clearances and everything is in spec. Is this to much? Thanks

Is the X cam close to or the same as the B cam except it has more lift? I think I read that in a thread. If it is similuar I read that advancing the B cam is recommended. Or am I completely off.

If the differnece is minimal than I will get it installed staight up. I am going to check piston to valve clearance but I should be fine I have Probe pistons and they are notched fairly well.

I just got everything for my engine. I am taking it to the builder next week. My question is should I advace my x cam 4 degrees to drop the RPM range down? I don't want to run out of RPM on my stock rev limiter. I hope this makes sense. I would like some suggestions before I ask my engine...

Thanks. Since I have to get a new cam. What should I get for my setup or should I get a Tfs 2 cam. I got that cam used for $90.00.

I have a little dent on the very back of the bearing jounal on my cam. I am pissed at myself for not storing it in a better location in the house. But all the lobes are ok. Is the cam ok to use or I have to get another one? It is a minimal dent on the edge of the bearing journal. I figured...

That is what combo I am using for my heads and cam. If you are using your stock pistons from what I have read through these threads you will have to check your piston to valve clearance that might to much lift with that cam. I am using Probe SRS series pistions for my short block. Hopefully I...

I have a set of edelbrock performer RPM heads (#6025). They have been o-ringed. What head gaskets should I get? I plan on getting nitrous later on. Just wondering what other people had good reliablity with?
