I have alum. main caps with ARP studs, nuts and ARP head bolts on RPM heads. My question is, How many times can I torque the studs, nuts and bolts? At what point should I replace them?

I never said they were ARP bolts. I said look for thread size and length, Pontiac bolts are .575 in length.

The times are on the windows.........

From what I have seen tested these manifolds have very bad fuel distribution. I know it's not the same effect but check out the Indy offering.

There's a lot of truth to what you all say. Their are alot of ways to achieve this. However IMO. respectfully. Your block first needs to be squared up. All or most of all the measurements you do will be based on your block being square.

This is really a fun topic! When I bought my first Duster it had a 5:13. You didn't figure MPG, you figured GPH (gallons per hour). Switched them to 2:94. WOW! Now I did not shift from 2nd to 3rd untill 110 mph I did have it up to 130 mph on it's speedo once. It had no bottom end. Next 3:23...

Ken with all do respect I would like to know why you say it would not fit. Especially when you have never seen one? I'd really like to know. Because if I was going to bring this back to market I would address this issue. Also I don't know if you have ever tried to bring something to the racing...

I do my B-O's in second also. But sometimes in 1st and 2nd, I haven't ever had a problem with that Billet drum? Can't say I have ether, although those I have seen don't talk to much on their way to a hospital. Seriously though the billet drum I think has a spread of 16k to 18k rpm. So at launch...

Heating issues were solved by using simple heat shielding wrap around the headers. Soft blankets can be easily cleaned of oil saturation. If your leaking that bad you should fix your leaks! You are a hazard to the other racers on the track. Blankets returned to me that were not abused were...

Where were you people when I produced the BEST blanket on the market. For Mopar only, 727's & 904 and Push Button Cable Shift !!!! it fit's like a new suit. It also coverd the bell housing. No problem with tranny dip stick. No more capturing shift lever arm. It has cooling ducts to prevent heat...

Tunnel rams with single 4 barrels have god awful mixture distribution issues. Run 2 quads.

I have experienced favoritism before by track owners. I won't race there any more. Problem solved.

I like my Kirkey. The plastic is ok I guess. What I do like is my Kirkey will not ad to a fire like the plastic ones.

Don't remember the name. it was located (at the time) across the street from St. Thomas hosptal on N. Main St. in Akron. Ohio. It really was a race car with lic. plates.

If I remember this combo was said to make 275hp.
