AJ's Opinion; Just for you 318 streeters
I agree that the true test of engine selection and mods is really known once the engine is in the car and running. However, I also think that all the combos and mods initially start on a piece of paper on some engineer's desk surrounded by, you guessed it... paper , calculators and computers. I'm very sure Rouch , Ma Mopar, Ray Barton, etc.. start every engine mod that way. What's really great here is that we have enough owners on here to comment on a variety of these mods and how they actually worked out.
To give A/J , 318willrun and Rusty some props, I watched the videos ,followed some advice they posted and played around with my ignition/timing this year. Hooking up the vac advance , finding proper TDC and setting timing differently picked me up about 6mpg. I'm delighted with both the fuel savings and the power levels as I now know my engine is running much more efficiently.
Hats off to you guys for taking the time to share invaluable knowledge!!
Cheers!!
