Porting the heads is definitly worth it! Just recently I had a set of iron heads ported by Frankg. My best time before with a Red Armstrong 93 chip was 12.3. After installing the heads (no other mods were done at this time) with 24lbs of boost, my time dropped to 11.76 at 115.76. Before, with a...

I just put a set of KYB's on my '87 T about 2 months ago and the ride and handling were greatly improved. I also get 1.68 short times with them. I have a set on my '70 Skylark also and they worked great on that car. Ken

I think 5" is going to be too much back spacing. With that much the rear tires will rub the frame and the fronts will hit the tie rod end. You will want to look for wheels with 3-1/2" to 4" back spacing. I run 16x8 GTA wheels on my car, they have 4" of back spacing and the tires are close to the...

Warpspeed: Those runs were at Cecil County Dragway. After I made the 11.82 pass is when the offical came looking for me.

About 5 weeks ago I blew a head gasket at the track. While I had the heads off I gave them to FrankG off of this board to do some work to them, ie. port, polish the combustion chambers, back cut the valves, new springs etc.. My previous best with the RA 93 chip was 12.35 at 110 or so and my...

Quad Air is where I got mine. I got the injecters and a 93 and 107 chip from them. Good prices and excellent support.

Thanks for the info, I think I will just use the stock gasket I have. The original one was there for the first 70k miles so, hopefully a replacement will last as long. Thanks for the help! Ken

I just got my original heads ported, valve job, new springs, back-cut valves etc. by Frankg and the work done looks great. My question is now that I am putting it back together, which intake manifold gaskets do I use? I have a stock set and I have FelPro #1200. With the FelPro's do I use the...

Cecil County Dragway is at sea level, I live about 5 miles away from it. Track usually hooks up pretty good for me. A few weeks ago I had a 1.68 short time with ET Streets and stock converter. If I get my heads back and put on by then I will see you there. A friend of mine ran 12.8 with stock...

If you can get them go with the 4 Front wheels. They have 0 offset and fit very well. I have run the rear wheels up front with 5/16" spacers and on my car the wheel still rubbed on the upper a-arm every now and then.

My car has a stock 200r4 and stock converter. I set the shift light at 5100 rpms and most of the time it shifts just as it lights. Other times it shifts at about 4700 rpms. It does this about 2 out of 10 passes and it doesn't mater whether the converter is manually locked or not. The tranny...
