    347 Buildup....Major Problems!!!!

    Its not dumping anything into the cylinders or the oil.ANd it technically didnt get that hot, steam tempurature was hot, but never over 220 or 230. Which isnt really that hot for a car. My daily driver hits 210-220 at a stoplight. But now, it throws all the fluid out of the radiator and onto...

    First time racer...any guesses???

    That mph is about right for those times! What were your 60 ft's? That does actually sound right for the mods, maybe a hair slow but not by much, expect with some better driving to be in the 14's! And you wont be so nervous as you do it more and more

    Everyone With AFR Heads!

    The probe pistons I have have huge valve reliefs, But It still bothers me and Im taking the stuff to the machine shop tommorow, I will check it anyways when I get it back but if I knew for a fact that it would need to be fly-cut it would make for a lot less time and one less trip! I think the...

    Everyone With AFR Heads!

    I have a set of AFR 205's sitting here in my room. I also have a set of forged Probe Pistons. The big question is do I need to fly-cut my pistons. Have any of you guys had trouble. The cam isn't too big, Around .575 lift. Any input would be great!

    Which spark plug??

    I would recomend some different plugs, After years of trying out different plugs I am a firm believer in NGK plugs. They are awesome. My second choice would be the good 'ol Autolite's. I have had good luck with both these plugs. The gap you are talking about sounds fine. And for the oil, Try out...

    Quick synthetic oil question...

    That statement about not being able to switch back is a huge myth! All current ILSAC/API oils are compatible with each other allowing anyone to use a synthetic oil or semi-synthetic and switch back to conventional or vice-versa without any negative performance or effects. It is also a myth that...

    Valves Hitting The Pistons??

    You wouldnt think that it would have problems but i really wouldnt say its gonna be fine. I know the better safe than sorry applies here. Its alot of money to just take a guess. My opinion would be to check it so you know you are safe! But if you want my opinion on if it will clear......It should.

    most boost

    Just make sure you have the fuel and you can run alot. Upwards to 15# or more. You have to have enoough fuel, good tuning, and low timing, with high octane and that is the trick to HP, high compression with alot of boost, Tricky setup but if done right it is alot of HP!

    Ordered Gears for Christmas Gift

    While your there i would order a complete rebuild/installation kit and i would recomend spending the 40 dollars and rebuilding you trac-loc. Its cheaper to do it now while they have your rear-end apart then later. You will be very impressed with the 4:10's and an auto. It will perform great!
