Time for a new set of suppression style wires. Application is a drag race SBC (400 hp), MSD dist, MSD Blaster coil and MSD Digital 6A box. I'm not particular to brand and have had good luck with Accel and Taylor in the past. Experiences with different brands/styles (good or bad) appreciated! :)

Its a little difficult to say about the converter since I did not have a transbrake with the old engine. but the brakes gave up around 2600 rpm, With the new engine I can rev it to 3500 rpm on the transbrake but the brakes give out on similar rpm as with the old engine around 2600 rpm The way to ch...

Joe, I tried to contact you via PM but it wouldn't go through. Please contact me @ tenxal@yahoo.com with particulars...stud size, price, etc. Thanks!

Looking for peoples experience using a reduced ratio (1.3) rocker for cam break in versus using lighter valve springs for cam break in. Application is a non-roller flat tappet SBC with 150 seat/400 open beehives and non-ceramic foot lifters.

Thanks!

Besides the basic mixture distribution fixes, the biggest factor in these intakes is reducing the plenum volume. The stuffer blocks shown in the referenced article is one way to address this. The original tops contributed a large amount to the overall plenum volume. Making a flat top reduces this vo...
