    brakes

    I know this has been talked about alot but I ned a brake upgrade. I currently have drums and need to upgrade to discs. I ave 15" wheels so that kindoff limits my choices. I think I've limited my options to Baer, SSBC, or Willwood. I'm leaning toward the SSBC right now but they are alot of $...

    12's combo

    I think this is a very feasable goal but yes it will cost you some money in the drivetrain also. My car currently runs 13.0 and this is the first engine I have built. So IMO go for it. Also fastcoupe88 is right on with his 300hp estimate. This is what my engine pulled on the dyno.

    boost gauge for paxton

    What are you putting together? Just curious. I have a 289 in my 67 that I already have a paxton system waiting to go on. It is a novi 1200 and I believe it should put out about 7.5-8 lbs of boost with the stock pulley. I already have a A/F ratio gauge(norrow band) which is kind of worthless...

    boost gauge for paxton

    Anyone ever put a boost gauge on novi 1200 carb'd motor? If so where do you run your line to, somewhere on the carb enclosure I'm guessing? I tried asking the power adders section but nobody ever replies there.

    POR 15

    I used POR15 on my engine compartment and it seem to fade from the sun. I wouldn't suggest using it on anything exposed to sunlight.

    fastest fastback

    Nicely done! I hope yo uupgraded to a 9" by now. Thats real good for 312rwhp. I've got about 305 and my best is 13 flat. Just couldn't break the 12 barrier. I do have a paxton sitting at home waiting to go on. We'll see how it helps. I also have an 8". With auburn 4:11's. I'm praying I...

    paxton pulley?

    Its oil is supplied from the engine pan. What "fluid" do you suggest changing every 1000miles? Are you talking about the engine oil? I hope not because that would get very expensive.

    paxton pulley?

    I have a carburated 289 that I have a paxton for. Stock it will put out about 8lbs of boost. Can I change the pulley to go up in boost and if so where can you purchase the pulleys?

    fastforward fastback

    I really like the tail light mod on the fastforward fastback and am wondering if any one has any info on it. If you haven't seen it, they eliminated the chrome bezels around the tail lights and the body butts right up to the lights. I am in the body work process and any info would before I...

    stroker or forced induction

    If your going to do both make sure you keep your compression ratio low enough with the stroker kit to still run pump gas after the supercharger addition. Unless your ok with running 5$/gallon race fuel.
