    Ordering Stroker Kit, Couple a questions.

    I beleive it is a 306cid. I have heard that big bore is the way to go but is way more costly than a stroker kit. I basically just want to build a bullet proof bottom end for F/I and figure for the money why not have the extra cubes. As for unshrouding the valves I was considering talking to my...

    PI Intake Progress

    Don't lose the rabbit man. Odds are whatever the problem is it is one of the last things you did. When you say the bolt is half in and half out I imagine that the plenum is not properly torqued on that corner which could be your vaccum leak. This bolt is most likely required for proper sealing...

    Ordering Stroker Kit, Couple a questions.

    I am getting ready to order a stroker kit for my car. I am currently making 375 RWHP with a mildly ported Saleen supercharger, Chicane Ripp kit, 75mm Accufab T.B, 42lb injectors, and 90mm Lightning MAF. After noticing a ringland coming apart i have decided to build my bottom end up with a...

    Manifolds vs Headers : Worth the pain?

    I'm pulling the motor on my 01 Roush and am installing a 5.1 stroker kit in addition to my existing mods listed below. What I'm wondering is what are real world numbers and benefits from manifolds, to shorties, to long tubes? Is it worth the hassle to have headers? I eventually would like to...

    Building new Shortblock. Who to deal with?

    Last week I found out that one of my ring lands let go on my motor. I'm now looking to do a rebuild and am kinda wondering who makes quality affordable parts. I'm thinking at least new rods and pistons but am kinda leaning towards a 5.0 stroker kit. The car is s/c running at about 11 psi so I...

    Piston to spark plug contact. Any ideas?

    I just picked up a new plug and pretty cool flash light from Checkers and after looking down the spark plug hole I can see where the piston is marked from contact. I suppose now it's a question of rod stretch or perhaps something else? :shrug:

    Piston to spark plug contact. Any ideas?

    The first set of plugs were Autolites gapped at .045. I pulled those and installed a set of NGK TR5's at .037. Neither time has the porcelain been damaged but the gap is completely closed up like the ground strap was rolled over. Would detonation really close the gap up? I heard no pinging but...

    Piston to spark plug contact. Any ideas?

    First off, yes it is close to 11psi with 373hp to the rear wheels on a stock bottom end. Secondly, I came onto this board with the intentions of getting some good ideas from fellow members who may have experienced this problem as I know some have. I perform most all work done to any of my...

    Piston to spark plug contact. Any ideas?

    I have an 01 Roush thats pushing about 11psi. I've had the blower on the car for about 1,000 miles now and last week I started to have a miss. I pulled the plugs and found one of them had been pinched off by the piston. I installed a new set of NGK TR6's @ .037 and drove it fine for about 75...

    Gauge pod question... Whose fits the best and what colors can I get?

    Just wondering if you guys know of any dash top gauge pods that are dyed to match the brown/tan interiors for a 99? If it has to be painted to match I wouldn't be surprised. I would however still like to know who makes the most quality one to fit (2) of the 2 1/6 gauges... Thanks for any input...

    Wiring Help Needed...

    Does anyone know where the power supply to the clutch safety switch comes from? (2001 Mustang) My car had a repair wire run from the starter solenoid all the way to the ignition switch for some reason and I would like to repair it properly. If I take power from the PK/WH wire from the...

    New Supercharger installed! Need some advice on gears...

    I would be suprised if it only made 330. I did mild porting on the intake as the casting was horrible. Perhaps a core shift? I also assume that the other mods I listed would be a tremendous help as well. Quite honestly I expect to see somewhere around 400 give or take. From what I hear AZ Dyno...

    New Supercharger installed! Need some advice on gears...

    I plan on driving the car for a bit with the 4:10's after I get it tuned to see if I like them or not but figured I would see what some of you P.D.B. guys were running as far as gears. The 4;10's were awesome when I was N.A but I kinda feel like they may make the supercharger useless down low...

    New Supercharger installed! Need some advice on gears...

    I would assume the black smoke would be a good indicator of running rich... I also wouldn't say that I went out to "Have at it"... I appreciate the concern though...

    New Supercharger installed! Need some advice on gears...

    Just to clear this up "I did not beat on the car to all ends of the world." it was a drive around the block with an entirely new setup to confirm proper operation before I tow the car for two hours to go get tuned. It's running PIG RICH with the new injectors so to go lean is not a worry at this...
