    Performance Q's

    A figure that floats up from the "magic 8-ball spherical dyno" is indicative of *possibly* up to around a 0.3-0.4 reduction in E.T. Switching to Walker Dynomax Ultraflows and a Dr. Gas "X"-pipe would really help in getting fuller benefit of the cam & headers.--- 8)...

    Proform Rollers

    They definitely work fine for hydraulic rollers under .550 - .570 lift. The slower classes at NMRA events use them w/o fail all day long. Owner-Error can kill any rocker when "true" pushrod length is not measured & overlooked. Exceeding the max. lift specified by the rocker manufacturer is...

    Purple Ice? Water Wetter?

    Use RMI-25, w/distilled water. Your cooling system & your block will thank you greatly. If your car overheats, it's time to look to a more effective fan/rad. As alcoholics prove, there is no "cure" in a band-aid in a bottle. HTH -- 8)

    Dynomax Ultra flows

    Most actual muffler drone can be eliminated with no added restriction in flow by using Car Chemistry collector inserts. Nothing will cure the drone caused by improper pipe/muffler installation, and/or the use of non-insulating hangers. (Except a correctly done re-installation...

    Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

    How many people living today in this country of nearly 400 million (legal and illegal) individuals could even begin to tell anyone what Memorial Day is about? To far too many, it's just when vacation begins, or the Indy 500. Why not be one of the few who actually know, and even...

    Got the Blueprint 408 today.

    The "bad rep" of the term "crate engine" in the MOPAR world can be attributed to the thrown-together mismatched units marketed by MP, aka Mopar Performance. The firm of Blueprint Engines is located in the very heart of the NASCAR and stock car universe in NC, building engines for...
