Don Terrill’s Speed-Talk

I use a Carter 172 mech pump, composite rod...they are so light I dont see how they could lose power. From the spring probably not measurable
Like the reliability of them, one less thing to leave you stranded. They last a long long time. NEver had an eccentric wear out

Yes, LS not interchangeable with the others
Is this an EFi application, what are you after?

Second the vote for balancing. Bought a few balanced kits yrs ago from PAW the engine pracitcally shook itself to death, bad...

Reached out to Crower and Isky, wondering if Cam King might pipe in.

Thanks for the input, everyone has their fav brand I guess. Im real leery of bargain SR setups I simply dont trust them. COuld be wrong as I dont follow BB stuff much but been down that road This engine wont be looking for that last 5hp type thing. Something simple durable that I can beat on when th...

Having a foot control is way more convenient imo. No need to stop what youre doing and adjust it, just the right foot.

I havent priced BB solid roller set up in a long time but its probably more than I can afford No offense anyone but I wouldnt run Comp anything if it was free. Love the SR in my 383 and get the benefits but the cubes alone should give the the amount of increased torque Im after. Just want more upsta...

Debating doing a solid flat tappet cam 427/454 as a nice set of heads is falling into my lap Know rollers are much better but dont wanna worry about needle bearings and chinese metal. So Cam King & others....is there a core or hardening process and lifters around that can make it somewhat reliab...

Wow...my 02 1500 is 5500 I think? OP do a 383, or 406...love to see an afr 190 head, reasonable HR cam etc. Youd make tons of torque and everything bolts right on.

It does have a very slight random miss...hardly there now was much worse when I bought it (Injectors plugged from sitting) Cats are original sure new ones would be better..no issues with the truck Im jut sondering if ER85 would give me more leeway on mods generally speaking. I assume it burns cleane...
