Re: Resonator placement

Drone is not caused by baffles in the muffler. Drone is caused when the sound at a specific frequency (engine running speed) excites,vibrates (resonates) the underbody floor pan. Amplified by dual exhaust with same pipe length and muffler position. Especially when the exhaust exits under body. Lack...

Re: Another reason not to buy Speedmaster shit

The problem is if you send something to China, they will copy it. Looks like Procrap forgot to mention that to the factory in China. You know your “Performance” company is shit when you have to change your name to fool the retards. Guy in the video didn't send anything to China. His product is made...

Re: Mystery sludge

Question for you guys, so assuming this happens with most "performance" type oils, what is the proper maintenance type thing to do occasionally? Drop the pan and clean the sludge on a somewhat regular basis?

Re: Datsun R 16 head porting advice?

....on the upside tho, apparently Rebello in California is getting 180 - 185+ hp from these engines at 6500-6800 rpm, so....there is that. A 150 HP engine on Rebello's dyno would show 200+ HP . You can't believe anything they state as to HP. It's all marketing. They were claiming an L6 engine combo...

Re: Engine Enamel Paint for block and Blower

My perspective as a metal/body/paint guy for 30+ years. If you want it to last use epoxy primer then a quality automotive refinish single stage urethane. Eastwood is low end stuff. Anything in a spray can is low end. Including those gimmicky 2 part ones. For epoxy, If you use an acid like Ospho for ...

And remember, use the report post function, but don't respond in the thread as it makes the Admins job of deletion harder.

Re: Any effective way to get ahold of lunati??

Lunati still not answering. Call directs me to the edelbrock group. Looks like I'm done being a nearly 30 year customer. Used to use bullet and lunati and comp. Looks like it's only bullet from here out. F$ck these sell out companies. Perhaps give the owner of this site your cam business?

Stupid cam question

Forgive my ignorance but I wonder if someone could answer this for me. In Japan and Australia cam manufacturers often reference their cams as a "72" or "75" or "77". Am I correct in assuming when a cam is referred to as a "75" for example it is the advertised ...

Re: Rare 2x4 crossram for small block chevy

Tom another place you might have some luck selling it is "The H.A.M.B.". Even though that is an early street rod forum, there would be a lot of interest in a crossram manifold.

Re: Rare 2x4 crossram for small block chevy

I tried BAT and they said 'no.' They want whole cars now. :( I'm surprised at that considering the amount of parts and memorabilia on the site daily. I visit it daily and I have only noticed an increase in those items. Perhaps contact them again? IDK. Seems like something that they would like to se...
