    is anybody running anderson motorsports vortech stage 1 or 2 kits

    I believe FMU's are only ok if your 8psi or less on a mostly stock motor. Just for reference I had a BD-11a making only 7psi, and on my basic bolt on, stock longblock, full weight vert I was running 13.0's at 110.

    Round 2, Just bought my first Foxbody

    Nice, nice find dude. Before I settled on my hatch I spent almost a year looking for a nice Silver or Black notch, but I couldn't find one that the owners didnt want twice what it was worth. I still want a notch

    Decided to redo my exhaust h pipe or x pipe?

    I just changed my entire exhaust from 1 5/8 shortys, 2.5 Hpipe, and 2.5 flowmasters to 1 3/4 LTs, 3" Xpipe, and 3" 4X9 magnaflows. Hands down my new exhaust performs better and sounds better at every rpm. In most cases the difference between the H & X of the same size is only a few numbers of...

    Are MSD Pro Billet Distributors garbage?

    I have a Pro billet MSD dist for quite a few years now and it has worked fine, but recently I went to put a new cap and rotor on it and I noticed that one half of the brass terminals in the cap had significantly more wear from the spark than the other half. Looks like the rotor or cap aren't...

    My Quest for a 10 second pass.

    I was just curious as to what your experience was, there is a huge thread on the corral and this guy GilroyRacing started out running 12.teens at 118 on DR's. He went to slicks and got his 60's down to the low 1.4s, and he picked up 10 mph in the 1/8th and carried 9 of it through the back half...

    My Quest for a 10 second pass.

    I was just reading through your thread and noticed your times. I dont get to the track very often ( maybe 15 passes in 10,000 miles ) but my highest 1/8 mph is 91 and my 1/4 is almost 120. In your experience when I get my 1/8 to where it should be mph will that carry over to the 1/4. I think the...

    Stock headlights vs. projectors

    Thats like saying go back to the stock hood or wheels because it takes away from the look.

    Stock headlights vs. projectors

    I actually dont think those look that bad compared to some others Ive seen. I looked at the customers cars and they all look good to me. I say do it. If they had smoked ones like that i would run them with my smoked ultra corners.

    I know its not from today, just wanted to whore it out since I haven't driven it in a while. I want to get 2 inch drop spindles so I can put the stock springs back in the front and Im gonna drop the rear another inch, but I have to roll the fenders and BFH the inners to tuck the tire.

    New headlights make such a difference.

    I have the smoked ultras and I love the way they look, how ever I had to reseal the pass side light with in the 1st week because water ran inside when it rained a blew out my bulb. Then about 6 months later had to do the drivers side for the same reason. I had a hell of a time getting the beams...

    Blown Head Gasket with pics

    90 ft lbs on a bolt is far less clamping force than 90 ft lbs on a stud. It looks to me as though your head lifted. I had the same problem on my old motor, happened twice then I swapped in head studs and it didnt happen again.

    Need Help/Feedback On Street 347 Combo

    Depends on how many performance parts you already own for a 8.2 deck weather there is a break even point or not. You can spend a lot of coin in swap parts if you already own nice 8.2 stuff. If you have to buy it all from the beginning then the 9.5 makes better sense.

    Need Help/Feedback On Street 347 Combo

    You bet Rick, last year at this time I was trying to figure out how to buy a set of TW 205's. Now I see these heads will meet my goals for the car NA. Im considering running some PAC springs to for a little more stability above 6500. Heck Im still running the stock pulleys and clutch fan.

    Need Help/Feedback On Street 347 Combo

    I have the TFS TW 170's on my 347 and at 1st they were just a cheap option till I could get better heads, but they seem to be working out well for my current combo. My ET's arent that good but the car traps nearly 120 mph in the 1/4, but only 90-91 in the 1/8 because I cant begin to get it to...
