I want to Thank You for everyones insight. I do realize that most set-ups are bound by physical limits (ie:compress effeciency, volumetic effiecencies and the like), but where to the limits of the engineering of the day exist. Do we need to be in the 10's or the 9's or the 8's... Where can we...

Once again I'm a minute late and a dollar short!- I was just reading Boostmasters post. It's sad to see that happen. Well I'm not converting! Maybe I don't need 11's. I do know that every model year car that is manufactured has something unique to that year. Having worked on toyota for 20...

Thanks for the tip. After doing some reading, i decided to check the valve to guide clearance tonight and if ok than run with-out seals.

I just received my gasket kit from Poston, now I can get building!!!! Had the crank cut 20 on con rods, 10 on mains-looks awesome. The kit only has intake valve seals. There are no exhaust valve seals. Do you guys run without exhaust valve seals? I see the valve guide on the exhaust valve...

Doing a rebuild on my 85 hot after abusing it. I'm running a RJC crank girdle. Broke 14 mounting studs between block and girdle(took 5 days of drilling and 6 drill bits and extracting to remove). I think they broke as result of some wicked detonation which damaged #6 connecting rod bearing and...

how much for complete intake, headers, fuel rails, front accesories and mounts, and downpipe?

forgot to say running 18# boost.

At the time of the event I was running race gas with a Joe Lubrant ((sp?) while he was with Precision) burnt chip with 20 degrees at WOT. 87 ecu, maf, ambient temp sensor, coil and module and directscan. Racing at the local track I encountered SEVERE detonation -shook car-in second gear...

thanks for cam card, I couldn't find mine. I completed the tear down and found #6 connecting rod bearing damaged, crank looks like it can be polished or cut. I was also surprised to find 14 of the 20 girdle to block bolts sheared off. Looks like some bolt extraction is in my future.

I am rebuiding HA motor with rod Knock. motor has poston 110t cam with precision built ta-49 in stock housing. what cam would work best? current mod-hot wired poston pump, 42.5 injectors, +.030 forged pistons, girdle, ported and polished heads with ss valves, 100# springs, v1 intake,2.5 dp...
