I need to get some recommendations on torque converter stall speeds. Below is most of my combination. What stall would you recommend? My first thought is between 4500-5000. I just want to make sure its not to high or to low. My goal ET is mid-high 8's. 3400# with Driver Stage 2 274" cid...

Wanted to know what spark plugs everyone was running and also if you recommend a cut back eletrode or not. I've never run the cut back eletrode and am not sure I like them. What advantages do they have? I have been running the Autolite 473's gapped to between .030 and .035 lately and have...

It's off center with Stage 2 heads.

Thanks for the input guys. To answer the first question I changed the entire sensor after the first one broke. The second one lasted about 15 minutes under very little RPM. Luckily I was just making my way home after a very short test drive when BOOM. The wear pattern looks mostly normal...

I got my car running for the first time today after having it back-halved and broke the retaining ring tab off of 2 cam sensors within an hour. This was followed by a few large back fires and then the car died both times and wouldn't start. In each case this occured under very low RPM...

John, Thanks for the reply. I had a spool with my old setup. The car is still driven on the street occasionally for car shows, cruising...etc and I always felt the spool was to hard on tires and rear suspension parts. My new setup has a 4-link. Would you stay with the spool knowing the...

I was wondering what kind of RPM you guys are turning through the traps. I am having the car tubbed and am getting rid of my spool and going to a Detroit Locker instead. My new tires are 31x18.50 on a 15" rim. I was running a 3.90 gear in my old rear end and am thinking with the larger tires...

John, Thanks for the respone. I am in Cleveland, OH. Please give me your recommendations on any chassis shops you would recommend. If you see my previous post you'll see that I have decided to backhalf the car. I would liek to talk to some different shops. If nothing else atleast I might...

John, Yes, Church Fabrication did the original set-up. I have decided to go with the 4-link and have been talking to Independant Engineering, which is a local shop here, about doing the work. It would be a full backhalf with Chassis Works equipment. It would include: - A Eliminator II...

Looking for pictures of a car with a ladder bar setup. My car is being backhalved and I would like to see some pics of what this looked like on a Buick. I have an 87 T. This a mid to low 8 second car. I have a full cage, Ford 9", coil over shocks and mini-tubs already installed. The problem...

Hoping someone has experience with the ATR Stg II headers and plug wires. It looks like I have to make my own but wanted to get some opinions on what boots (45, 90 degree) you used on the spark plug ends. It looks like the passanger side is going to be real tricky. Any thoughts or opinions...

Try Landmark in Strongsville. They usually have 110 there. If I remember right it is on Prospect rd near route 82. Good Luck. Jason

I would say try the vavlve springs. However, you may want to look at your spark plugs to. My car used to stop pulling when there wasn't enough spark. I closed the gap and things improved. More likely the springs though. Good luck, Jason
