    Richard Holdener starting to doing some 2.2L DODGE TURBO dyno testing.

    I'm really interested what he squeezes out of this little engine, I wanted a GLH Omni back in the day.

    Poll on are you running Stock or Modified engines

    Choices are Modified in a performance way and Basically stock, cause most cars aren't 100 % stock anymore so if you got a holley instead of factory carb but everything is stock then I would say basically stock, even say you got 340 and use a similar cam even if slightly better I'd say stock...

    My 68 Valiant is originally a California car with factory undercoating even in the engine bay, I want to strip it from the engine bay and paint it. But not sure about the underneath, If I was to strip it I would reundercoat it with Lizard skin or something so would be it be be best to strip it...

    Stall ??

    I got a stall questions. Say you have a mild 5.9 Magnum the 300hp create motor. With 3.91 gears and 27" tires. Now I know the engine doesn't need a over stock stall speed. But wouldn't a small over stock stall still improve performace / e.t. ? Probably in the 2200-2800 rpm range ?

    Spool on the street ?

    Im looking to make my car able to drag autox and daily (spring-fall) drive my car. Its got 380hp create engine with 727 2800 stall and 2.96 gears. Obviously the gears are a performance killer (the way the car came). But im not in a rush to ditch them since I'll be daily driving it. Plan on...

    67-69 Valiant Stripe ?

    Is there a stripe package for the 67-69 Valiants ? I know it's over used but I've always wanted a sublime green car. And ain't to fond of the factory Sunfire Yellow. Seen some run a bumblebees stripe but don't think I matches the back end style of the car.

    Do I have 2.94 or 3.23 ?

    I just bought a 68 valiant 360/380hp create engine with a manual shift 2800 stall 727. I'm not a hundred percent if the speedo is accurate but after talking with my dad since he followed me home seems it's close. Mathematically it works out to 3.23 but since a trans has slippage wouldn't...

    Hp and E.T. 'S

    There's been tons of arguments about the true hp of certain combos especially magazine builds all the race guys always say the only true way to know is run it. I agree that running it show what your car is capable of and probably best to prove it's perfomance but I don't believe it's any better...

    Is Torque King?

    I keep seeing people give misguided advise base on don't build engine A cause engine B will make more torque eg. . 340 vs 360 or 360 vs 408. For the most part torque is a useless number once HP curve is found from it. There is a lot of reason to build HP at low rpm (torque engine) instead of...

    Dynamic Cubic Inch

    Works sucks, a little too much time on my hands today. It drives me a little crazy when people talk about engines for performance and or fuel mileage they leave the rest of the drivetrain as an after thought to me it's all one thing, eg. 360 gonna make more torque then 318/340 so 360 better or...

    Weird starting problem on my 5.9 jeep

    It started off with my interior light sometimes staying on and couldn't be shut off and killed my battery, so I replaced the battery and it's ends and pulled the fuse. Now sometimes it won't start it acts like the battery's dead and head light and stuff won't come on, nothing at the key then...

    Gas Mileage

    I was reading an old thread on engine size and gas mileage, instead of bring it back from the dead I'll put my thoughts here:) 1st thing, lets assume for now most engines have same efficiency, it takes the same amount of fuel and air in a given amount of time to make a certain hp, (thats...

    No Replacement for Displacement (myth or fact)

    I guess I'm challenging the "no replacement for displacement" that everyone likes too throw around, I'm not an expert or anything my knowledge is mainly through alot of reading about about engines. So far I've just been a Cam, Headers and 4bbl swap kind of guy never built a full engine until...

    Concluding Threads

    I Think too many people start threads without concluding them doesn't make it very helpfull for others with similar question so they got to ask the same questions over and over again or for people giving advice to see If it worked and or helped. I've asked alot of question for my 273 65 Cuda...

    Spec'ing an Engine

    I've been reading lots of threads where they start off with "I got this engine and I want this much HP" I think this is the wrong way to go about it. Which is funny because I got a thread "400+HP 273" but before I'd desided on the 273 I thought about every engine combo for my ride if I wasn't...
