laughing gas is fine if what you want is to win races - I don't race. I just want a slightly more powerful engine is all. But thanks for the post.

Interesting ... good for you guys! That yellow one is yours then? - nice, very nice!

Totally off-topic question ... how difficult is it for you folks in the U.K. to aquire new Mopar performance parts? - where typically do you get them? Just curious.

I'd think you'd be able to tell if you're slipping the trans or rear or whatever ... it should not be to difficult to be able to know if you're getting good engagement through the drivetrain or not. How hot is the engine running?

This sounds like a nice springtime project for me perhaps - Holley 750, Eddy AG man, Eddy heads, comp cam. Thank you all very very much! ~Bill

Sounds like a good idea to me as well. Holley has all the necessary adapters for the fuel inlet lines? I ask because the B/G does not (unless I want the colorful blue and red aircraft type - which I don't for my street car) and I've never used a Holley dual feed before.

Nah, for the little increase I'm after? ... I am a motor guy myself.

Sure, and the other one ... you can pay me now, or you can pay me later. But, I am not talking about a 10 second $10K motor here, just 75/100 HP is all. I don't think I need a $600 carb for that ... in fact I know I don't. But thanks for the link - don't recall hearing about those carbs.

Thanks! That's a Holley Quick Fuel? Looking ... No! 'spose you mean this: http://www.quickfueltechnology.com/home_2.htm ... that or the 750. Too expensive! $600!

Thank you very much for that article. It looked familiar and think I might have read it in the past but completely forgot about it if I did and so thanks again. After reading though it, it sounds like a the Eddy heads, the comp cam, the Eddy/Carter 800, and last of all maybe the Eddy airgap intake.

More good advice and thanks for it all - much appreciated! I'll tell you why I feel the way I do about upgrades and about my reasoning. First - about me ... I am 53 and pretty strong minded like most "mature" men ;-) ... I'm no mechanic - just a shade-tree tinkerer - most of what I know about...

And thank you too, sir.

Thanks very much!

You think that the Eddy heads and intake might be good but not the cam and carb then - is that what folks are saying? See, I was thinking that the package might be easier to balance than parts from diff manuf. But seems like most like the comp cam and don't care too much for the Eddy (Carter)...

Ooooo Kaaaaaay ... A man says he's sorry and that he didn't mean no harm and another man says to him that he sounds rude. Nice, very nice. And thanks for your detailed suggestion too. ~Bill

First of all thanks to all again, and for your reply herein. I realize that what I posted "might" have sounded a bit arrogant, but in context I don't think it would have been taken that way - certainly should not have been. And at any rate I did not mean it to be. So to clarify any misgivings, I...

Thanks to you and all who have posted ... seems like this is the plan. The only thing I question is why not the whole eddy package incl carb and cam? Seems so far the consensus is that the comp cam is better then? Think I should stick with the B/G RD 625 and just jet up instead of the eddy carb?

No, the goal is as stated ... 50 -> 100 hp. It's that simple. I chose my thoughts and words very carefully and mean exactly what I say.

Thanks much for the cam suggestion! As to the tranny and rear ... as I said, not to be changed at this time. 50 to 100 HP is all I want, and I don't have a target et - I want to keep the mpg and octane about as it is and gain somewhere around 75 hp is all.

Hi folks, My '72 Duster has a 1992 MP 360/300hp Commando (pre-Magnum series for you younger members) crate engine; B/G 625 cfm RD carb, TTI long tubes and K&N filter. It's a 4spd 833 with 3.23 8.75" rear. I like the car and as it is a street car (NOT a DD though) it's pretty much fast enough...

You sound like your right about at new Mustang GT territory now ... or are you beating any?

Depending on how it's all put together and tuned, anything from 10.5 to 17. If all is done right I will go out on a limb and say 10.90

Thanks for all the feedback thus far. I have BF Goodrich T/As on the car now, but they are either or almost summer only tires. I've been pretty happy with them, but they are old. Because I do not drive the car too much, there is still plenty of tread on them, but the rubber is getting old...

Nittos are probably out simply by size ... the closest I can get to 225 60R15 seems to be 225 50R15, which has too small a diam and I will just burn more fuel and wear out my engine faster. I like the look of the 15" ralleys and will probably stick with them. The Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S (High...

What are those 225 50 17s? I notice that tirerack does not carry these.

Thanks, Terry. I see also that the Pilot Exalto A/S gets very high marks. Anyone ever try these? Downside is $$$.

Just a friendly hello and a question about tires. I'm open to suggestions as to good all season high performance (non-drag) radials. I've been to Tirerack and I am attempting to narrow down the offerings. Looking at BF Traction T/As and Continental ContiExtremeContact for starters.

As per my post # 139 ... "Just in Advance Auto Parts yesterday (ed: that was the 7th of Jan, 2008) picking up oil for my Concorde and noticed they had a good stock of Rotella-T ... and it's all CI-4. ~ $2/qt at that."

Which is the only reason it was suggested to me and that I am using it, thank you.

I have no idea what you mean, why you answered that way or what you are trying to say by that statement - it's completely out of context.
