    :D Well im sure tons of these questions are asked daily but I have specific questions that I would like to accumulate answers to in one place. I want to build a 408 and stick it in a fox body (didn't see that coming huh?). I would like to put in a built c4 tranny and run stock ported and...

    Vacuum problem with New Cam

    yeah I know to pull the IAC before adjusting the screw because the IAC can only increase throttle from the base setting. Also, I am pretty sure that the cam was at its lowest possible point. I just replaced the intake gaskets because I was getting a heavy sucking through the oil filler and...

    Vacuum problem with New Cam

    yes spun the crank in order to adjust each valve. I find it hard to believe the TFS 1 would take a vacuum can... I think something else is wrong. Nobody knows? It idles really low, like around 750... maybe I need to set my throttle stop and tps voltage?

    Vacuum problem with New Cam

    I thought people run around with the TFS 1 and have little driveability issues. The rockers are something that could be the problem, because I did them and I am not all that good. It is hard to adjust those damn things with the hydraulic lifter wanting to bleed out oil when you adjust...

    Vacuum problem with New Cam

    the isky cam was a .480/.500 lift cam with 210/218 duration, I thought that a cam with more duration would be better for power and I could take advantage of the ported heads. Why would you go back to the isky? I had the computer unplugged the whole time and figured that was good enough for...

    Vacuum problem with New Cam

    Vacuum problem with New Cam

    So I switched out my Isky cam for a TFS #1 cam. I use to pull 18lbs of vacuum, but now I pull about 10lbs.... I thought that lobe seperation determined the majority of vacuum and this cam is suppose to have good pull. I have drove it for a little while and it sucks, I have lost power and got...

    Wierd Problem... Vacuum through Oil Filler on Valve Cover

    thats what was in the back of my mind but I thought I ruled it out with the vacuum check. I guess if you think about it though it would keep a constant vacuum. can anyone else second this?

    Wierd Problem... Vacuum through Oil Filler on Valve Cover

    I just did a TFS 1 cam swap... I have a cobra upper intake and ported GT40 heads on the bottom. I fired it up last night and it idles at around 2000 rpms and then I unscrew the oil cap and I get some good suction... also the rpms drop to around 800. I plugged a vacuum gauge up to the vacuum...

    11's on a stock bottom end?

    So I was at the track last week and ran the ol car down the quarter. I had a 1.997 60' 12.991 E.T. 107.61 MPH first time to ever hit 12's... before I was running a street tire and launching with a 65 dry shot of nitrous and running mid 13's with a 2.4 60'. I let the pressure out to...

    Been A While, but Im back with Questions....

    My semester of college is almost over and I because of the time I have had to dedicate to school I haven't been able to post on here much. Anyways, I plan on building a 306 for some fun and I was wondering if I could get a little help: I am going to be running AFR 165 heads and a simple...

    Wierd Problem with new tires.

    I have a 235/55/16, I only went a little wider, I know it will increase the sidewall a bit, but it is a ratio, I didn't think going 10mm wider would affect the ratio significantly

    Wierd Problem with new tires.

    400 treadwear I thought indicated the life of the tire, I had 320's, these tires are a lot softer than those

    'B' Spring Install?

    I installed B springs, the backs are pretty simple, the fronts are a bitch. I would use a compressor.

    Wierd Problem with new tires.

    I put on some 235/55/16 Summoto HR4's, and ever since I have got them put on the car feels like im driving with slicks. Pressure is at 38, and I also had new B springs put in. I attributed the problem to the new springs needing broke in but im not so sure now. When I am driving around 40 mph...

    02 Sensors on long tubes, or anything for that matter.

    I think I have a problem but im not sure. I recently put in a ram heavy duty clutch, B springs, and tires on the back. Ever since then my car has been a lot slower. When it is at idle and I hit the gas, it hesitates and then revs up. My a/f gauge says I am running a lot richer than I usually...
