    Took it to the track

    Finally made it down to Northeast Dragway (Hertford, NC). And oooooh boy... what a story... The last time I went down there, I snapped my shifter cable on the first run coming off the T-Brake. So this time, I just had to top it... On my first run, I launched off the footbrake for a...

    TE62 w/ Blown Seal - Can I do it myself?

    So my TE62 has had a leaky seal for a few months now... I've put very few miles on it since it started, but it does seem to still spool, sound, and pull just fine. Is replacing the seals something that I could so myself or do I need to send it in somewhere? From what I've read, I'm looking at...

    Smoke at idle...

    I noticed some smoke coming from my tails yesterday while idling in the driveway warming up. Not excessive, but enough to piss you off when you get a facefull. It doesn't seem to do it until it warms up. I had my wife follow me around the block and she couldn't see any while driving. And ideas...

    GN1 Valve Cover Breathers?

    What are the correct breathers for these valve covers? I'm using K&N's, but the passenger side doesn't seem like it fits in snug enough.... It just feels waaay to easy to pull on and off. I'm just waiting for the day it pops out during a run..... ---Ron Jr.

    Had another good run....

    Had the car out testing the new u-joints Wednesday. hooked up with a really good looking orange '69 Plymouth GTX over at the entrance to 264 at Birdneck. Too much traffic to really play much though. He jumped on it while he was behind me and went around to pass and I hit it just as he was...

    What downpipe is this?

    I'm supposed to have a Terry Houston downpipe, but after seeing other people's, I'm beginning to wonder if maybe it's not. It seems it comes out farther that the others I've seen. It actually had to melt its own clearance into the fenderwell... What do you guys think? TH or no...

    Scanmaster or Power Logger?

    I finally realize that I need to retire Directscan as old laptops are drying up. I was thinking of just getting a Scanmaster, but I noticed that for about $15, I could just get the Power Logger. The logical choice, if you've got a compatible laptop, seems Power Logger due to it's ease of...

    Help going from stock MAF to LS1?

    My stock MAF Sensor finally crapped out on me. Might as well upgrade at this point. A few questions: ---What all do I need to get? (Sensor, translator, ???) ---What are the benefits of upgrading? (Performance, data, etc) ---Who sells it? (I think I remember seeing the stuff at Full...

    Moroso Trick Rear Springs?

    Has anyone tried these out? Saw them on GBodyParts.com and was curious. GBodyParts.com Online Supposedly, they eliminate the need for airbags. Right spring has one more coil than the left and is stronger. My question would be, does the car sit level, or is it higher on the right side? Anyone...

    Cam question

    Hey everyone. I'm finally getting around to re-re-rebuilding (3rd time) my motor. I've got a question... What are the benefits of going with a roller cam setup rather than hydraulic? Is it really worth the money? Thanks! ---Ron Jr.

    I've got two new in the box 2.5" center in center out Hooker AeroChamber Mufflers. I ended up not needing them for a project and my wife's not too happy about two Hookers hanging out around the house... but seriously, they've never been used and are supposed to be pretty decent mufflers...
