    Mirrors - Pictures included!

    Glad you dont have my disease :rolling: For me theres always just 1 thing thats "just right" and everything else is good but not 'perfect'. I have learnt this through my years. So I would never want more than 1 car as the rest would be cool but not 'just right' and why would i go cruise out...

    Mirrors - Pictures included!

    Well,I have figured out thesilver washer thingieis what goes on the door (the part that sits around remote inside) in that hole on interior. I also would have asked about that extra line thats in the bad fabrication of the mirror, however I already know I can get that filed out to perfect and...

    alarm or kill switch?

    I can only tell you about what I have in my car. 1 - A key that you turn that disconects the actual power from the battery (like taking the negative off). If your car catches fire you wont be taking the negative off in engine bay and the power is what will be feeding the fire. So this key...

    RPM's

    "Well I don`t use mild cams in anything , I carefully tailor agressive cams & proper duration profiles to get the power where I want it , this creates a very flat torque curve where you may make 400 ft lbs tq at 2400 RPM & at 5200 RPM with a gentle curve in the middle peaking at 460 ft lbs at...

    RPM's

    Well I got a 4 speed A833 now and plan to run a 6 in it later so that I can still get decent cruising rpms (1800-2000) while making the 1st 4 for serious acceleration. this is a quick 1... 600 torque at 3000 rpm vs 600 torque at 6000 rpm. Will both be accelerating identical speed? Or will...

    472-528 hemi

    Thanks Runner. Guess I wont waste a phone call to him then. Im after the most "average" torque, so when you nail it, the 1 with the most average torque will be the quickest and thats what I am after. I also wanna run Dominators. Thanks meep also. :)

    472-528 hemi

    ok I got a guy that really knows how to tune dominators and they end up as efficient as HP Holleys and have more "responsiveness" and better air flow than the HP's (according to him which is true as ive known him for a while to know what he does works as he says) He hasnt got toomuch...

    472-528 hemi

    Thanks for that So basically all Hemis will have an excellent tq curve, wont just have peak but a very high average also. Well going with 550 horsepower and 650+ tq. If a 426 hemi made 550, 472 made 550, 499 made 550, 477 made 550, 528 made 550, would the 528 still make more torque being...

    472-528 hemi

    Im going to run around 11:1 compression since we have 98 octane gas in australia basicaly everywhere. Would there be any difference between the 2 at 550hp or not and therefor may aswell go with the best looking setup.

    Bias-Ply

    Hi I found some mickey Thomspon Bias-Ply tires (sportsman Pro). They have a 8/32 Tread depth (just like Hoosiers pro-street radials) but they run a drag Compound. Will those Bias-Ply tires hook better than a radial being made of a drag compound? Why or why not go Bias Ply? Hoosier claim...
