    engine rebuilders in dallas?

    Are there any shops in DFW that will do a quality rebuild for our motors? I have two motors - an 85 and an 86 that I need rebuilt. the 85 is in the car, the 86 is complete with harness on a stand. -Nathan

    Nate's Hotair plan

    Thanks for all the advice everyone. I'll keep my coil then and look into a powerlogger. I don't have Windows on any of my computers (all Macs), but I'll see if it will work. And I'll try to tune and get as fast as I can without alky, then we'll see.;) I remember a thread a while back...

    Nate's Hotair plan

    Basics in building an 11 sec HA car.

    how does the bore of the engine affect this? i'm assuming it only helps to get into the 11s. bigger is better right?;)

    Basics in building an 11 sec HA car.

    ok, now things are starting to click in my head. this is good info jerryl! thank you, sir. now i see why we need to know what we're doing with these hot airs - looks like a lot of time, trial and error, and tuning is involved. Oh. well how much does a stock turbo supply and what turbo...

    Basics in building an 11 sec HA car.

    I'm learning a lot from this board, but I don't know what a lot of the posts mean. Call me dumb@$$, but i just don't know, still learning. When it says lb/min those are injectors? and what does it mean by peaking at a certain rpm, and how does the cam affect it?
