    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...

    Frame Connectors

    These guys at A.R.T. are the greatest! We'll soon have at least 1 of *all* their products for A-bodies on one or more of our lil' Mopars! They've been the *originators* of these products, and doing it far longer than anyone else in the Mopar world...

    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...

    Fitch fuel catalyst

    Need some independent research & testing by an independent third-party. Until then, it's just another "magical" product, like the 3000-mpg carburetor. Until then, a lot of magazines show what prostitutes they really are by having such carnival-crap among their pages. When...

    Source For Centerlink (aka Draglink) ????

    Looking for Cylinder Head Recommendations

    The aluminum MP Large Port Commandos can outflow the Edelbrocks by approx. 20-25 cfm at .600,, but after buying a set at MP's insane prices + valvetrain + porting, you've just spent a *minimum* of $4000.00, and that's minus rocker arms and pushrods. The ported MP LPC heads are...

    Fenderwell Headers

    Every brand would be a bit different, so no universal template is possible. What works for us is: Install the headers temporarily (one side at a time) w/the fenderwell removed. Measure the area's axis of the tubes path -----------at the point -------------- they would've passed thru the...

    48 degee W2 vs 59 degree W2

    48-degree heads are for 48-degree blocks, which you do not have. A set of Edelbrock heads should flow at least as well as the earlier W2s when ported, plus they're aluminum AND do not require all the different valvetrain pieces. HTH----------------8)

    Old Edelbrock Tarantula Intake Any Good?

    Unfortunately, getting a **complete** rebuild kit to replace the 3-brl Holley's old dried-out gaskets and seals will be an exercise in futility. You can find *some* maintenance components separately, but not nearly **all** the ones needed to restore a 35 year-old carb to reliable & running...

    Summit brand exhaust kits

    Yep, JEG's are our choice over Summit, (even if price were same) because they use FEDEX, plus they have a much more friendly & easy-going approach regarding returns & exchanges, and also because Jeg's gives a very significant % of sales to cancer research. Jeg's is a racer &...
