Look at the numbers. A shortcut is the quickest way to a place you don't want to go!

I've had about every type of timing chain. I would buy a good roller set and add a chain tensioner. Every time I use a timing light, I am reminded as to why I use a tensioner. Everything is spot on with no jumping around. Just don't buy a stock chain set. Roller set only

I don't have a dog in this fight. Has anyone proven at the strip that fenderwell headers out perform under chassis. Maybe a 600 HP BB but not any SB. My 360 ran 11.0's and my friends 360 runs 10.35. Tony's 360 would run fine on the street with a smaller cam. I just don't understand the...

I agree with everything except comparing a 8:1 440 to a 360. Having owned, driven and raced both in street trim. A 440 is a torque monster and a low compression 360 needs gears. LOL

I realize that mine is a SB. I have .037 quench, aluminum heads with 10:1. I can run 89 with no pinging. My cam is 232/[email protected] with .520 lift. I use Rhoads lifters. All this aside, I was told by a mad scientist engine builkder ( did work for Granetelli building engines) that when the quench is...

How about a billet chain drive with a tensioner, Mine works great. The timing light doesn't jump around like it does with a seasoned chain

A twin turbo SB would be killer at the strip. On the street you'll be in trouble because of spool up and not a full quarter mile. A 440 will leave on a 427 but it will come back toward the end of the quarter mile. I believe a 408 with good heads and cam and a good converter is mandatory in an A...

Rollers are great if money is no issue. I have NEVER had a flat tappet ruin a lobe or lifter. I built my first engine in 1963. If you are you are young and making decent money, Why not? Rollers are the future.
