I run Nitto's on both my Mopars. While there are better choices for drag racing, there are no other drag radials out there with a V-speed(186 mph) rating like the Nitto's have. Now I try to keep it under 160 mph as my front tires are only rated at 149 mph on both cars, because you just never...

I understand 700hp is at or near the limit of the glass ceiling with a stock block. Keep the reciprocating assembly as light as you can. Good luck. Looking forward to the dyno results on this build myself. Will he ever hit the motor with a NO2 shot?

I upgraded to a 5" by .125, 6051 aluminum drive shaft with 1480 u-joints that is nearly 72 inches long for my 3/4 ton 4wd truck. The shop that built it said they have customers spinning over 1300 hp and 2400+ foot pound of torque through virtually identical units, so aluminum drive shafts can be...

I used a 440Source 4.15 ultra light crank in my RB with a 525 gram piston and one of their 7.1 inch rods to lighten the reciprocating assembly as much as possible in an attempt to reduce cap walk and main webbing breakage. I also run Hughes's main cap girdle and studs. So far it seems to have...

I swapped out my girlfriend for a new one several times in my life. Makes a huge difference!

Agreed. I wondered about the cold start function when using a no-bypass filter, but the Jomars build oil pressure as quickly as a standard design filter on start up. I considered running two of them in parallel on a remote mounted filter manifold for even more flow but never bothered, because...

To me, it doesn't really matter what the micron rating of the oil filter is if the majority of the oil is bypassing the filter through the bypass valves in those filters most of the time. Even if it only bypasses the filter for a fraction of the time, it's still not filtering the oil 100% of the...

I only run Jomar 100% No-Bypass filters on my "Race/hot street" motors. It saved my bottom end when I had all the needle bearings get blown out of my exhaust rocker arms due to bad valve train harmonics. Professional Filter Test Results

I just bought a pair of front QA1 Stocker Stars for my '68 Barracuda convertible and posted a review on them. I love them. I always test the car on full soft and full stiff to get a base line on where I think they feel best on the road. I have them set to 5 clicks from full soft for road course...

Nice to have options. I wonder what Wilson could do to it with a max effort...

Keep the reciprocating assembly as light as you can. There are still untouched 440 blocks out there too. I bought one for $350 last year for a buddy. There is some great advice in the preceding threads here.

It's not too expensive to ship it anywhere in the country you want either. Any Mopar specialty shop can send you a discounted shipping tag. Just grab a small pallet, strap your hardware down on it well and either drop it off at a shipping terminal. Most shippers offer lift gate service to your...

Four Seconds Flat sells larger inserts than what comes with the MSD distributor.

It's been my long held understanding that to find initial timing for a specific combination, you simply slowly advance the timing at idle until the idle speed no longer increases (max vacuum). In other words, start with your initial somewhere around 10 to 15 initial, warm the car, increase the...

Custom valved AFCO double adjustables. I had to have them increase the valving resistance to slow down the separation on the hit, because of the way the traction bars plant the rear end so much harder than without the bars.

I run properly adjusted sets on both my 450 horse automatic A-Body and my 650 horse 5 speed E-body with great results. Both cars have Nitto Drag Radials on them to make them safer to drive on the street, but were bending the front spring segments of the passenger side SS springs. Before trying...

I was going to switch from the older MSD box to MSD's laptop programmable digital box in an effort to optimize my ignition timing. I would guess that the digitally programmable box requires the distributor be locked out too. However, my motor runs so good with the old school non-programmable...

I was having unstable initial timing issues with my MSD Pro-Billet dizzy with the light springs on it. I was running 22* initial and 35* total. One day I decided to lock out the distributor to see how the motor liked it. I set my timing at 35*. It's been locked out for a year now and the motor...

I bought a MSD timing light from Summit. It's fixed with no dial back. I used it to verify that my vintage dial back light was accurate. It is. I've also had an old dial back light that would not read correctly, so I tossed it. I ended up locking out my MSD Pro-billet distributor, and verified...

Installing the correct gauge cable for positive and negative connections makes a big difference in getting which ever starter you use properly fed with power. I run a dedicated ground cable directly to my starter. McRobb starters are reportedly very good. I have an MSD starter in my '70 E-body...

How much clearance does that Jeep cam position sensor allow for the intermediate shaft to move up off the bushing seat and ride up on the cam's gear?

Make sure you run a collar on the distributor shaft with the correct amount of clearance. The collar keeps the gear from climbing up and down on the cam gear, which significantly increases wear. Without the collar on there, the clearance is only limited by how the clearance between the...

Darwin spotted it and called it out in nature. Lawyers and their frivolous law suits have led common sense to near extinction in this country. The dumb are surviving their stupidity as a direct result of the growth of the Nanny State. Scary part is they have been breeding for decades, and want...

What transmission is he running?

You can see it go lean with a wideband when the throttle is mashed. I have three accelerator pumps on my six pack, and using a wideband makes things so much easier to dial them in. Seat of the pants helps, but using a wideband is a no brainer for tuning. Data logging with a TPS and a tach feed...

I was told it was the rod ratio that is brutal on the pistons, not their weight. Spend the money on EFI, valvetrain and heads, especially if this is not a roller motor already.

I went with the bushed, Indy Redzone's. They were not cheap at over $1200 for the set, but there are none better. Street use with longer idle and low rpm use are hard on them. Cam selection with gentler ramps helps too. Pressurized axle oiling on the solid bushing at least gives them a fighting...

My Pro-billet MSD distributor was phased between two of the towers. I used their phasing kit to dial it back to a single tower. The motor still did not start on the first crank most of the time. It sounded like it had too much initial on the first crank, and then would fire right up. Later, I...

I missed the W9 part. No, these are for Big Block Mopar with traditional off-sets and cast stands. Thanks.

I have a complete set of fresh from T&D 1.6 to 1 rockers and shafts sitting on my bench, if you are interested.
